About Me

CURRENT MISSION

by experimenting different things and meeting new people I'm trying to find something permanent (a hobby, a person, a place) into my life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21-years old Finnish girl who's spending her time currently in the UK studying music at the University of York. Surprisingly, I'm obsessed with music, especially jazz piano and cool jazzpianists like Art Tatum and Herbie Hancock but I'm tolerant with almost every kind of music. Oh, except for R. Kelly. And a few others. Krhm. Love meeting new people and getting to know different styles of living. Most of the time I'm harmless and much fun but sometimes my "great sense of humor" and endless flood of words can be too much. That is why my friends don't usually listen to me that much which can be considered as a clever way using their time.

PHILOSOPHY

I tend to think that life is too short to whine about everything; most of us have got everything necessary they need anyway. Don't worry about things in your life so much: they will turn out somehow anyway.

Interests

music, drawing, going out, piano, ipod, friends, people with an attitude, great food, traveling, dresses, snowboarding, sushi.
