Dream on

One dream comes true in May 2014: I'll see Aerosmith perform live.
Bought the concert ticket today.

For Me It's You

"..Everybody got something that they want to sing about, laugh about, cry about

It's true
For me it's you.." (Train: For Me It's You)

When in love and happy, I want to scream it out loud and share it to the world. When sad or angry I tend to close myself in silence and pout. And writing everything down is my therapy. Whether it's on facebook, blogspot or whatever. That's natural to me, it's who I am. And the difficulty is that The One is just the opposite. He appreciates his privacy more than anything else. And he wants me to appreciate his privacy too. And I try to. But sometimes it's hard to control myself. And he should appreciate that equally as well. Because it's how I work. And besides, as the Staind song Everything Changes states: "..I am the mess you chose, the closet you cannot close.."

House-warming party: part 1

One of the best things about moving to a new place is that you'll get an excellent excuse to have a party with your friends. And since our place is not that big, I'll have two times the fun. And because it was a house-warming party, I got some presents as well. Here's some pictures of them.

The first on is a bag for champagne bottle (or any other wine bottle). My long-term friend Adelheid made it after we saw one at the first of May -happening. And a bottle of sparkling strawberry wine came along with the bag. :) I also got this picker so I can go and get those blueberries and/or lingonberries with speed. Although I prefer berry picking with hands, this was a nice evidence that some men are actually quite good listeners.

  

 

And another bottle, Fisu. For those outside Finland who may not know this shot, it is made of Fisherman's Friend and vodka. And I got flowers too, roses to be exact. Can't really remember when was the last time I had flowers at home. And even harder it is to remember when was the last time I had flowers that I hadn't bought myself.

The first house-warming party was on Saturday 20th. The plan was to serve some punch with something to bite. Unfortunately I forgot all about my camera because I had so much fun, so there's no pictures about the party food or the party people. After sitting and talking about one and a million topics we headed out to a near-by bar for a gig, where my better half was playing acoustic with his friends. I met some old friends there and got a few new ones. A lot of laughing and dancing and sing-along. We did continue to another bar but I didn't stay long. I went home to bed, he came home later, after picking up a kebab roll with him home.

Happy face

I think I've got the best room mates ever. After Steven Tyler moved in with me (in a form of his book), I've gotten three more room mates.. Let me introduce you two of them with pictures, Brian Johnson and Tony Iommi:

My third room mate isn't that keen to presenting himself in public. But let me tell you, he is a room mate in flesh and blood, The One. And maybe not so surprising to people who know my taste in men, he's a musician, with long hair, of course. ;) We had our first year anniversary in April and moving in was his suggestion. And since I've practically lived there already at least ten months the decision wasn't too hard for me to do. Besides, there's no sense paying rent for two different apartments. But the suggestion kinda took me by surprise - I thought he was light-years away from that point. But it was definitely a happy surprise.

I also started a new job in the beginning of April as a office assistant. So there's a big sigh of relief what comes to financial side of life.

So.. life is good. For now (knocking on wood). And I'm happy.

Get The Funk Out

Next time I'll visit my own apartment I'll probably end up sending that application I've been thinking about for few years already.. Until then, here's Extreme. :)

Don't think you are, know you are.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the coming spring and my own laziness. I've been thinking that I should start jogging/running again. But today I sort of realized that I've been doing too much thinking and that I've had too little action. So, I'm starting today.. sort of. I'm starting with eliminating some of the excuses for not running. That means for starters that I'm getting myself proper clothing for the hobby, including running shoes. And let's not forget that I need to get myself a new music player so I'll have proper training music to speed me up. And of course clothes must be washed before the first use... but then, then I'll get into it. Too bad that my love doesn't have a washer.. and I don't own a car. One of the previous would make it a lot easier for me. Oh well, maybe some day.

Happy Valentine's Day

I absolutely love Pon & Zi pictures.

They always hit the target, so to say, and make me smile.

I want to spread the joy so here's my valentine's greeting to all of you. ;)

Something

Some mornings I don't wanna get up,
motivation is hard to find.
Some mornings I miss you
before I leave your side.
No matter how dark and low,
you bring in the light.
There's enough reason
to love you the rest of my life.

Talking with elves..

To start with I got to say that this year has had an amazing beginning. And although actions have been speaking louder than any words ever could and it was nothing new, it was a wonderful feeling to hear The One say the words "I love you" on new years eve for the first time. Pretty awesome was also when my nephew, age three, told me on Boxing Day that I am important to him. And that I'm a Lego-master. :D

But that about my holiday and the start of this year. What I really was going to tell you was that two weeks ago Steven Tyler moved in with me. Well, not really but I bought his book "Does the noise in my head bother you?". And I've been reading some 80+ pages now and the noise in his head really does NOT bother me. It seems more the opposite, I find the noise in my head to be quite similar with his, although I'm not nearly as talented and gifted as Mr. Tyler is. And I kinda like the fact that this book gets my creative mood on. (And every now and then I even see a glimpse of Mr. Tyler in The One as well, in his talent and perfectionism. The latter one I recognize in myself as well.) It's also very interesting to read about his childhood, him being such a country boy, wandering around in the woods climbing trees and rocks and talking with elves.. Wait, WHAT?! Yes. You read correctly, talking with elves. And the fantasy lover in me absolutely adores Mr. Tyler for writing that in his book for everyone to see!! And why wouldn't I?! Don't we all secretly hope to be all of our lives as free and imaginative as children are? Wouldn't we all like to feel the speed of wild horses when running on fields, the power of a bear when walking around in forests and the spirit of an eagle when feeling warm summer breeze on your skin?!

I think we do. At least I do. And I think in a way I re-connect with those childhood feelings when reading the book. Fantasy books do the same thing. They wake up my imagination and make me realize there's no limit as it comes to imagination, if only for a moment. The only limit to imagination is you yourself. I know I've written about imagination already before here in my blog and I might repeat myself. But I think it's important not to suppress imagination. As Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." And it makes life more interesting. So let those kids believe in Santa, invisible friends etc. they'll have enough time to grow up later. Besides, I believe in Santa as well, even if it's only in Christmas time... ;)

Three little big words..

I love you.
