About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make the most of it

ABOUT ME

I am twenty-something roller derby girl from Helsinki. I study journalism in university of applied sciences and work as a barista.

I like to skate (with roller skates, longboard and sometimes even with an actual skateboard), cook vegan dishes, dream about learning to play my Ukulele, listen to indie singer songwriters and rock bands, ramble about politics, watch artsy movies, go to sauna and swim naked with my friends. I love reading books and comics and talking about cats.

I like to organize small gatherings and bring my friends together. Probably 'cause that is the only way to have time to see them all at all.

PHILOSOPHY

"Meaning of life - why does everyone talk about it in the singular?"
-Loesje

“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.”
― Pablo Picasso

Music, Movies, and Books

I have two Amanda Palmer fan tattoos.

Right now (september 2014) I've been reading lot about political issues around the world, both fiction and non-fiction.

Recently I've been a fan of Wes Anderson and all my cool friends who make cool short movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang smells like teen spirit with Amanda Palmer in the middle of moshpit in Berlin, later she kissed me on the lips.

I played cockroach in my friend's music video and if you are nice enough I might show it to you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an ukulele and melodica but unfortunately I cannot play them. Maybe you could teach me?

After that we could go skatin', since I have three different boards you can try.
