Hanging out, dabbling with Finnish things (people too.. hmm), rocking the fuck out in my car on the bus/subway, lying in other peoples' hammocks, working on my anti-tan, getting hot and bothered, going insane at hockey games, traipsing through the city, asking to see the wine list, making snarky commentary, procrastination, thinking hypothetically, silliness, sex and sexuality, writing, gonzo journalism, the fine arts, snark, Ville Hermanni Valo, concerts, loud music, sex toys, relationships, naptime, body modification, androgyny, vampires, California, Harry Potter, pro hockey, all of Europe, not too much eye makeup, Gary Lunn.....
I'd like to think I'm open-minded, so the list could very well go on!
I'd like to meet:
I don't know. Humans, I guess. Humans with similar interests that might want to be my friend.

I do not idolize. I only admire, respect and/or lust.
Trite as it sounds, though, I do really admire my mom and dad, my grandparents, my sistah, my best friends and my boyfriend too. They've all done amazing things that make me proud of them, and have made my life a lot more complete by being part of it. Aw.
