25 things about me

Since this is a brand new blog I feel kinda obliged to do a proper introduction of myself. This time I'm going to skip the basics, since most of them are pretty much covered in the "About" section of this blog already. So go check those out first if you're at all interested! Now, let's move on to some more or less random things...

1. My favorite thing to do home alone is to put in my earphones, blast music on full volume and have a one man dance party around the house.
2. ...and when I'm listening to music outside the house I pretend to be in a movie or plan music videos in my head. I love it!
3. My happy place would be anywhere near the sea. Ever since I was little I've loved water. Not only swimming in it - I remember always picking out all the beach related stories from Donald Duck comic books and only reading them. Same thing for any cartoons on TV - if there was an episode that was ocean- or beach related, it instantly became my fave.
4. Overall, I think I'm a really happy and careless person. I think being self ironic and never taking myself too seriously help me a lot in life. E.g. I don't think I get offended very easily!
5. I'm pretty sure I have a phobia of vomiting. I can't stand being near people who are sick, the sound of it alone makes me cover my ears and shutting my eyes and just leave the room. I literally haven't vomited since 2003 but I'm terrified of it! Sorry to say I won't ever be the one to hold your hair or pat your back if you're sick. I will have ran away by then. :-(
6. In my later years of elementary school I had a phase where I loved creating little websites. They were mostly Pokémon related fan pages and virtual daycares (I wonder if it's still a thing somewhere??) . I even used to design web layouts! I still can't believe that 12-year-old me knew more HTML than I do now! Crazy, I wish I wouldn't have stopped!
7. Pokémon will forever be my no.1 nerdy obsession (followed by other Nintendo stuff and Disney!) Especially the gameboy games were a huge part of my childhood. But let's not forget about the cards and action figures and tv-series. I just... ahhh! So inspiring :D
8. I don't follow any tv-series anymore, if I watch TV I'll just randomly watch some lifestyle shows that are on. Actually I'm much more of a YouTube person nowadays. I'm subscribed to so many that I don't have time to watch everything, but  danisnotonfire, Zoella and Superfruit are people whose videos I never skip!
9. I've played handball for 12 years (!), and this will probably be my last season. I love the sport and my team, but since this would be my last year playing as a junior and I don't wanna take it too seriously, I figured it would be time to move on to other things. I don't even remember what my life was like before handball, so it's going to be weird for sure. :(
10. I'm very easily amused and I laugh a lot - especially when I shouldn't. My mind does this thing where it forces me to think about hilarious stuff at inappropriate times. Grumpy teachers + quiet classrooms is probably the most triggering combination...led to a bunch of embarrassing situations.
11. I'm a massive overthinker.
12. I love food. And I could probably give you a 15min presentation on the spot of why pizza is so incredible.

13. I've always been a little bit shy with new people, but I feel that it's gotten a lot better as I've grown older (that's pretty usual I guess). If a person gives me instant good vibes, I'll usually get comfortable super fast. But if someone's looking me up and down and comes across a little fake or shallow from day one, I will probably always stay distant from them/never show them my best sides.
14. I'm really clumsy and awkward but it tends to make funny stories so I'm fine with it. :D
15. I wish I could draw for a living!!
16. Looking back at old photos and videos and just reminiscing old times is one of my favorite things. Early 00's throwback music is also my guilty pleasure, haha!
17. I'm not a huuuge drinking- or party person at all. Sometimes it's fun to go out but I'd choose a cozy night inside with good friends, food and movies over it pretty much anytime! Or even going for dinner and having a glass of wine instead.
18. Currently saving up money so I could go traveling! I'd really love to see Iceland, America, South Africa, Bahamas, Australia, all of the U.K. and the list goes on...Only if it wasn't a question of money...
19. I've succeeded to avoid drama really well throughout my life, I always try to at least get along with everyone. And spread kindness :) Can't remember ever being in a huge fight with anyone, to be honest!
20. Discrimination, violence and just destroying things in general make me so so so angry and frustrated.
21. My worst pet peeve is smoking. Oh, and when people storm into my room without knocking AND leave the door open when they leave. Oh! Or when people rip out your earphones OH! And overly proud Finns on social media when Finland is mentioned. I guess there's a lot.
22. When I was born, my brother insisted that I should be named Nelson. He knew I was a girl. I think.
23. A lot of people find musicals cheesy, but for me they're just so uplifting! They put me in such a good mood, especially Mamma Mia! I really enjoy singing too, but only in my own company, haha!
24. 2013 has been my best year so far! I got to travel a lot and school was nice and everything just rolled...nicely :D
25. I get inspired about different projects and things super easily, but that inspiration tends to disappear just as quickly and I end up leaving everything halfway done. Especially when it comes to drawing. And getting fit...

26, bonus fact: I think this post took me about 2 hours to write...off to bed!

Note! These pics were taken for some school applying stuff, in case you thought I usually tape/Blue-tack random stuff on the walls like that. I don't. :D
