Little more about me

So I am Hanna. I was born 1986 on a very cold day in the end of the December, somewhere in the middle of the Finland. Nowadays I live in a city next to Helsinki in a small flat with two roomies. The house nor the city aren't places, where I'd like to spend rest of my life. I study radiography (so one day I might be taking x-ray pictures). It's not quite what I wanted but at least I'll have one profession. We'll see what I do after that.

Language

I think it's good to mention that English isn't my mother tongue. I live in Finland, it's a small girl shaped country in Northern Europe, between Sweden and Russia (it's not a state of USA, though it's almost same size as Montana). We don't speak English, but Finnish. (Here's a little example, which should be the most beautiful Finnish sentence “Alavilla mailla hallan vaara”, free translation goes: there's a danger of frost on low lands). I have studied English since I was 8 years old, but my English is far from perfect. But thanks to subtitled tv series and movies, rock music and of course the school I'm quite corrupted with this language. And that's the reason why I write mostly in English.

Other than that I have studied three years French (I'm not very good, I barely dare to say my name and run fast away). German I had for two years when I was 11-12 and I have just started studying it again. And because Finland is bilingual country I have also had my fair share of Swedish lessons (6 years).

Whenever you see grammar/spelling mistakes, you are welcome to let me know.

Love

Jo - I don't blabber much about my friends/family in my site except of course Jo. He is my man (we're not married – yet – but I rather call him "man" than "boyfriend"). We have long history together. We were good friends long before we ended up here where we are now. So Jo's probably the best thing ever happened to me (he's on the same line with seeing David Bowie and Depeche Mode -gigs). He's bizarre but that fits perfectly to me, not to mention his absolutely fabulous music taste.

Music - Hmm, thinking it again. I have a religion, it's rock music. I have a little record collection that I love very much and music taste of 30+ man. List contains e.g. David Bowie, Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, Depeche Mode, Lou Reed, Kent etc. I couldn't live without my cd's or mp3 player. One more or less unpleasant side effect of this little hobby is fanaticism and judging people according their music taste.

Laptop - I was finally forced to give up my old computer, it died. My new love is Acer Aspire 3103WLMi with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. Surely not the best laptop in the world but it's doing what it's supposed to do (and it doesn't crash every ten minute).
