I know you've always wanted to ask me something but haven't dared. This is the place for it!

So I see you have horses in your avatar. Do you own any? If not, would you ever want to?

So I see you have horses in your avatar. Do you own any? If not, would you ever want to?

I don't own a horse right now. I study so I don't really have any extra mony for anything... Let alone a horse! I live in the capital of my country so everything is more expensive here then elsewhere, and keeping a horse would cost more then I earn LOL! But if I'll ever get to move somewhere more like a countryside setting (which I would love to!) I would definitely consider getting one. I used to go riding as much as I just could, and I'm definitely planning to continue my hobby in one form or another once I just have my finances settled.

What is your favorite thing about where you live?

About the city or country? Helsinki is quite green for a city so big. I appreciate it. Also, it's easy to get anywhere with public transport or bike, which is also nice since I don't drive (and there's no parking spaces anywhere anyways). In Finland I appreciate that it's relatively safe everywhere and that we have clear seasons. Nature's a good bonus, I'm not really a city person so I intend to move to a much smaller town when I just finish my studies!

What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?

I'm just stupid like this but I still don't know whether cartoon means something on TV or something printed on paper. Well on TV I loved the Moomins and the Animals of Farthing Woods. And on paper obviously Aku Ankka, our local Disney cartoon paper.

Do you like wearing shoes or would you rather be barefoot?

 

[GOD is LOVE is GOD]

It's 7:13am in California, and I was just wondering:
What time is it in Finland??

 

[Aino]

Right now it's 1.43PM, but at the time you posted it was 5.13PM!

Oh and Tink: I hate wearing shoes and socks. Right now it's still a bit wintery outside so I have to go against my nature quite a lot LOL.

 

[Cute Tink]

Have you ever run into a tree?

What do you hope to accomplish today, in 6 months, in a year, and in 5 years?

 

[SyntheticPaper]

Wayyy back in the olden days of the mid '90s one of my all time favorite cds was (and still is actually) "Tales from the Thousand Lakes" by Amorphis. The lyrics from the album are taken from or based on the "Kalevala" which was described as "the Finnish national pole book". I have wondered about this forever. What is a national pole book?

 

[Aino]

Have you ever run into a tree?

No, not that I could remember... I still have a scar of running to the wall though, and I also ran into the national theatre once which looks like a stone castle really... if that counts.

What do you hope to accomplish today, in 6 months, in a year, and in 5 years?

Today: nothing, it's 8.30pm. in six months, still have a summer job. in a year, start candidates seminary. In five years, i should ahve graduated, maybe have a job and at least the first kid.

 

[Cute Tink]

Have you considered watching where you were going? Not that I can say much about that.

What is your favorite thing about where you live?

 

[Aino]

Well the scar I got when I was two years old, so I don't really know what was going on in my mind... And the other walk, well someone had handed me a tract and I obviously had to read it and so i didn't realize I should have turned LOL.

I like that I live so close to the center of the town that everything is easily accessible without a car. I also like it that there's a lot of green areas here!

 

[Cute Tink]

When was the last time you went camping?

 

[Beauty4Ashes]

When did you get married and how did you meet your s.o.?

 

[Aino]

When was the last time you went camping?

It was maybe August, sometime towards the end of last summer anyways. There's a nice lake near where my parents live, and I went there with my husband.

When did you get married and how did you meet your s.o.?

I met my husband (I need to get used to saying that LOL!) at a church thing for students and young adults. He'd just moved here for his studies, he didn't know anyone and I was one of the first people he got to know here. I then again liked his accent the first time we met and was kinda sad since I thought he'd change it quite soon - well now everyone else speaks like him LOL.

Anyways we ended up being together and got engaged in August and then married on New years eve.

 

[Cute Tink]

Have you ever listened to a book on tape?

 

[Aino]

No, I can concentrate on reading better.

 

[Cute Tink]

How much TV do you watch?
