What I Love

Right the moment you arrive to my blog, you probably figure out my passion number 1; books. But there are other things I love almost as much as books, and today I decided to post something about them.

1. Movies 

- I don't think it is a consequence, that many of the movies I adore are based on books. "Books are always better than movies" is a statement I say almost daily. And I don't think that I am the only one who thinks so. But even though I love the books better, I am excited to see my favorite stories turned into movies. Last Friday I watched the first Harry Potter movie with my brother; I think that it is like 3 years that I last time saw it. Even though the book is a lot better, I must admit that I love the movie. I love all of the Harry Potter movies. Seeing the amazing world of wizards, witches and other magical creatures of my TV makes me want to cry because there is no Hogwards in real life. Or maybe there is, but I haven't received my letter yet...

2. Planning

- I am a planner. Most of my friends hate it. I tend to plan everything. I an not very spontaneous. Someone might call me a 'control freak'. And maybe I am one. I keep making lists about everything and I get annoyed if something isn't the way it is 'supposed to be'. But that's just me, I cannot do a thing for it. I keep planning my future, and I have this life plan, which I think I should abandon because I am going to be super disappointed if it does not work as I would like it to work. 

A couple of weeks ago I saw this movie called "post grad" with my friend. After the first 10 minutes of the movie, my friend said that the main character is just like me. Well, I definitely found some similarities between me and her; she had a plan, she wanted to work in publishing, her family was nuts... But the thing I am lacking is that gorgeous best friend who happens to be in love with you.... But well, maybe he is somewhere waiting for me.

I only have one year of high school left, and I want to take everything out of it. I have worked with school related stuff during the summer so I have more time during the Autumn to enjoy and not to stress. I am over packed my calendar already; voluntary work, play directing etc. But at least I am doing stuff I enjoy. And I am going to apply to universities before Christmas; I am (hopefully) heading to Scotland next fall. (If someone studies, has studied or lives at Scotland, please leave me a comment.) 

3. Travelling

-There isn't a better feeling than packing my bags and leaving Finland. Don't get me wrong, I love Finland because my family lives here. But otherwise, I would rather live somewhere else. I have lived at Virginia, and I loved it there. What I really liked about United States was the fact that people were so nice and open. I saw it as a total opposite to people in Finland. I've been so lucky that I've been able to visit amazing places such as Athens, New York, Washington D.C, Stratford Upon-Avon and London. I have totally fell in love with London and according to my life plan, I should be living there at some point of my life. 

4. TV Shows

-I tend to start to follow more TV shows that I am able to watch. During the summers the Finnish TV sucks, so I've got a chance to watch some stuff from Internet and now I am pretty much on the same page with the programs I've been following. Right now I follow 'Desperate Housewives' (I watch it from the Finnish TV, so I am behind the US episodes), 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Drop Dead Diva', 'Gossip Girl', 'The Mentalist', 'Pretty Little Liars', and this one Finnish soap opera show.

5. Facebook

-Okay, so this might sound weird. But I really love Facebook and I don't know how I would do without it. Seriously, it is the best thing ever. You are able to follow what your friends are up to, without really even talking to them. Okay, now I sounded really unsocial. But I bet some of you know people you really do not even like, but you are interested about their lives. I guess I am just curious and looking for gossip. (I make myself sound horrible). And what I also like about Facebook is the fact that it has decreased my use of mobile phone because basically all my friends also use Facebook.

6. Food

- I love pizza, burgers, pasta, beef, potatoes, chicken, lasagna... the list goes on. I am weak when it comes to food. You really do not need to ask twice if the question is somehow related to food. I also love cupcakes, pastries, pretty much everything sweet. I am not the best chef down the bloc, but I know how to cook something. At least I make pretty good pizza. I am also a sucker for all types of candies. Yeah, not good for my health, my no can do.

Well, these are 6 things I really love along books. Of course there are other things I love as well, but the list would never end if I would start going on with it. 

So, probably almost everyone who reads this blog is also a book lover. But what is one thing that you love even though no one would except you loving it. I think that for me that would be Star Wars and Star Trek. I love those series, especially the old Star Trek series. 

Btw. I might like hot guys as well! ( The Firefighter picture is related to planning = CALENDAR, the third picture is that hottie from Post Grad and James McAvoy is related to Scotland ;) )
