I'm a Finn living in London. Not that nationality matters, but it might just explain the accent.
I don't eat meat or drink or smoke or do drugs
(but I'm not straight edge)
My boyfriend is awesome. He's my hero!
I honestly believe that music keeps me sane.
I stress loads, even over the stuff that is not worth stressing about. But then again it tends to help me focus. So whenever important stuff comes up, you can expect me to be stressed and short-fused for some time.
I like playing my NES, and I also like the Wii. I like playing Death Jr on the PSP, and Mariokart on the DS. However, I suck at all games, and I'm a pretty bad loser.
I am obsessed with cats and kittens - and anything that resembles them really. And all other animals.

My Interests
