Q U E S TI O N S & A N S W E R S
Have you done anything you regret so far in life?
Everyone make mistakes, but we learn from our mistakes.
Does your horoscope describe you?
In a way. Libra is symbol of a stable person. Since I do think a lot, I may have bit restless mind. But outwardly I seem calm. And to be honest, really rarely I have mood swings. So I can say I am stable one.
What you think about drinking?
I drink too much… juices. They taste good, but I think they're bit unhealthy if you like to drink them every day.
Seriously, I do drink sometimes, but it isn't that important for me. Now and then is enough to me. To be honest, I don't understand why some people do drink alcohol every day. Drinking is ok as long as it is under your control and while drunk you don't do bad things or lose your self-control.
What makes you laugh?
Surprisingly good humour and funny things.
What do you think about situation of Earth?
To tell the truth, sometimes I'm quite worried. Why there happen those school massacres, murders and that kind of bad things? Why there’s that violence and hatred inside us? But still I think there's much more good things than those dismal and bad ones, but still... what's wrong with people?
How would you describe an artist?
A real artist makes her/his art with heart and passion, puts feelings into it and really loves what she/he does. She/he doesn't think "I should make this kind of thing that it could be popular", but does what really wants and loves to do. But if you're artist, in a sense you have to be bit "selfish", because basically you make you art for yourself.
Meaning of friends?
Oh, they mean much. I can't imagine life without them. I think loyal friendship is one of the best things in the life.
Meaning of life?
You experience all kind of things and enjoy. I live day by day, but at the same time I'm always waiting for something. You know, trips, events and things. And also small things and moments give delight to me. It's important to appreciate also them.
How would you describe your personality?
Well, in a way I am ”a person of opposites” and that may explain why I am interested in completely different things, too.
As for worst habit, I'm really stubborn and impatient person. I get angry quite a easily, but I calm down quickly. No need to afraid because of me.
My sense of humour is, well, interesting. Lievästi päälleen pudonnut se on, ha-ha. Mainly it’s really sarcastic humour, but sometimes also sarcastic black humour. I laugh at myself too. And I do have boyish sense of humour.
I feel myself as a tomboy. I’d rather talk about sports and cars than manicure and cals, ha-ha. But of course I am feminine enough, there’s many things to prove that.
I’m happy, optimistic and friendly person, I always wish all the best for everyone. I’m empathetic and forgiving person, I like to help other people if they have problems and griefs. I’m dreamer and escapist, I feel myself as sensitive person, too. I also like to think a lot. As for being romantic, I'm also that kind. But I think there's difference between "romantic" and "too sappy", I'm not the latter one at all.
I don’t like the attitude of arrogant and mean people at all. Of course you have to get to know people before judging them! You have to treat the others well and be friendly, polite and down-to-earth person. I appreciate exactly that kind persons.
I have always been a child of nature and liked animals. Nature means lots of to average Finn and to me it is epitome of beauty. Beautiful places, moments and atmosphere makes you dream and calm you down. I like to take a walks in the woods, it's something relaxing. Many of those ancient Finnish myths and believes are related to nature. For example, to Karelian people a swan was holy animal. It’s interesting how they have believed in spirits / forces of nature, and in a way also I do believe in them. In general I like mystic things and also nature is like that. It’s hard to explain, you have to experience those moments.
I love countless things, those ones which interest me. And I’m really enthusiastic about things I love, that comes naturally.
I’m also pretty shy person. But with family and friends I’m really talkative. But I’m also reserved person. If there's some new person, first I "keep an eye" on what kind attitude person in question has towards me. If I notice she/he is nice, then I start to be confident about her/him. I'm a kind of a cautious person and I don't want reveal everything about myself right away. But if you gain my trust, then it's different thing.
But because I'm typical Finn, sometimes it's just easier express myself through the art.
Do you have you motto or life philosophy?
Carpe diem! It's good advice, tried and tested.
