So greetings from (now cold ’cause it’s a night time.. :D) warm Estonia!
I haven’t posted anything for a while. Why, I wonder the same… Why today? …Basically, I felt like it. I was chatting with my friend in FB and while we were writing, it just hit me that we have talked about 6 hours or so, before that writing novel-long comments there :D So it just hit me again: I love writing. I know I haven’t posted a fic in a LOOOOOONG time, but that doesn’t mean I have given up. I know I won’t be (maybe) a writer some day since I can’t keep up with the deaslines (other thing is that I could never write my stories in Finnish, I use to write them when I started to write when I was 12 years old or so, but nowadays I write all my fic in English, even though I make horrible gramamr mistakes. Sue me :D), but this is what I love, alongside with reading, drawing, nature, ecology, biology, photographing, cooking, baking and handycrafts. I am creative, I have an imagination that is overflowing all the time. The thing is, it’s sometimes hard for me to write them.
Before I post my fics, I create maps of characters, some sort of plotline and basic setting. Then, I start to write the fic on a paper. I can’t write my fics straight to computer, no. I need a pen and a paper (or papers..), I need to write thing by my hand (because usually when I have a block, I doodle cute lil’ pictures, usually SasuNaru based since most of my fics concentrate on them…) And when this is done, it’s time to sit in front of the computer and type. Many times I change certain things and lines, but the basics stay. And if I’m brave enough, I let my friend proofread it for me. Sometimes I don’t since my grammar sucks and I don’t take criticism that easily (which is also why I can’t be a professional writer… :D Or maybe I should learn to suck up my pride and let people proofread…) And then I post the fic, apologise for the fic being TOO late and die a bit :D
While thinking about writing, we also discussed with my friend our imaginations and train of thoughts. We both have a very lively and wild imagination and we change subjects as fast as they cross our minds. We can start with planning a party, continuing to talk about guys, then about fics and slash, continued by Batman, Angel and Dark Angel and finishing with next Friday’s booze party. They jump from one thought to another, sometimes so fast that people can’t follow us. For me it’s amazing that even one person CAn actually follow my thoughts :D Seriously, we made a plotline for one fic while we were discussing our typical Fridays, my friend’s crush, Angel, Harry/Draco slash, vampires, milk, karaoke and Harry Potter in general. And it was AMAZING! It was a night full of laughters and snorts, also I was feeling SO happy, nowadays a foreign thing to me… But I am mentioning this because usually my blog is also changing the subjects so quickly. I apologise if I keep confusing you :D
What else… Spring is here. Some international students here in Tartu are complaining because the spring comes so late in here, but they should remember that Estonia belongs to Northern Europe (not to Nordic countries >:DDDD) so the spring comes ”late” (for me, it’s early, I come from the beautiful, cold country of Finland where spring usually is in full blossom around mid-May..) But I enjoy it, it’s now nice and warm, there is no that much snow anymore, the birds are singing and the plants are growing, and I think there will be some buds when the last day of April comes (which is also my birthday, horray!)
My aunt said that I should start to write a blog while I am here in Estonia and tell us about the differences between Estonia and Finland. I could, but I have been here about 8 months now, first time I was here one year ago and it really hasn’t changed much from back then. Sure, the food is different and some things are done differently and the culture is a bit different, but other than that, no. I can’t pinpoint what makes Estonia different from Finland, but they are, in a way. They are quite similar, but you have to remember that Finland is bigger than Estonia and Finland is divided to 5 different counties and in those counties are at least 5-10 other subcultures and dialects :D So when person asks about Finland, I can only tell about the Eastern Finland and maybe something about the Northern Finland, but that’s it. And no, we don’t eat salmiakki as a breakfast, too salty and I think I would have a hole in my mouth in a week or so if I did :DD
I started to watch anime and read manga again after a long, long term. Why I haven’t done that, I seriously don’t know. But after I watched one episode of Inazuka 11 and Durarara!, I felt SOOOOO happy and light again, like there was a meaning for life again! And now the makers of Junjou Romantica have started to make a new anime based on the awesome maga Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi (from the mangaka who also created Junjou Romantica, Shungiku Nakamura), I am so pumped up since it’s the same style as in Junjou Romantica! Also Durarara is from the makers of Natsume Yuujinchou and Zokunatsume Yuujinchou and the composer is the same as in Natsume Yuujinchou (and I love the soundtracks from NY and ZYN <3). OOOH HAPPINESS~
And it's 02.00 again :D So, I go to sleep now ( I am sick, so I won't go to school today… Not that I miss Estonian :DDDD) I'll be posting (hopefully soon) again, let's keep in touch and our minds and imaginations open (wtf sum-up/ closer is this O.o ?!) Anyway, a nice thought flashed.. Next time I could write my blog so that the first and last letters of the word are the same but everything else is mixed, let's do some ToK things here (because I love IB SO much and I miss it and Oulu too ;A;)
See you around!

PS. And we were talking with my friend (awesome Yuni-sensei!), I have 5 alter egos inside of me. I could have 21, but since I don't count them as my alter egos, I only have five. So do you thing it is normal for a person to debate with them about things or ask opinions from them? And do you feel like I'm a looney now? :DDD Thought so. But being normal is boring, weirdos rule! Buh-bye~
