I love AM too, especially Why'd you only call me when your high. And of course they've always been great (Cornerstone:wub2:)!!!

Update from Helsinki Pride! (that I missed since I wasn't here:aah:) Anyway, last year there were about 8000 people in the parade, this year it was 20000!!! And the weather was great, it was the only sunny and warm day in a long time (lately it's been freezing here and just raining all the time:sneaky2: and it's supposed to be summer!). Also last week few Finnish politicians voted about a law about equal marriage. Sadly they voted against it. Even thought it's not all over, there's still a chance in the autumn, many people were really pissed (for a reason, I mean over 166000 people signed this petition about it and now less than ten politicians can just ruin the whole thing). So that also made people go to Pride to show that they cared. I just hope that our MPs who are deciding if we get the equal marriage or not are paying attention now and that we'll get the law soon!!!

To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra I've heard it so many times in movies and tv shows so I thought I should finally look it up. Beautiful. [YOUTUBE]QB0ordd2nOI[/YOUTUBE]

Here's the link: http://statigr.am/tag/queerhelsinki My favourite so far is Taru (the one sitting on the stairs)

I wish the wine was white too I just heard about this blog or something, #queerhelsinki where people with queer attitude were asked to be photographed (where ever they were, shopping, having coffee...). First I was like whaaat, but it's actually an intresting project. No questions asked about your sexual orientation or anything, just beautiful photos of ordinary people. There aren't many photos yet but it could become really cool.

I think Swedish song is a little boring althought it sounds better when you just listen and don't look (that's what I think anyway...) But I guess I'm a little biased because for Finns it's not the point that we win but that we are better than Swedes... I'm starting to like Armenia: [YOUTUBE]ChkJpnOgIwQ[/YOUTUBE] And also what's up with the cakes this year??? Both Belarus and Latvia are singing about cakes:blink: So welcome Cakevision 2014!!!

I was too much into Softengine so I kind of chose to not like anything else. To me "sängyn reunalla" was a bit too slow. But it reminds me of another Finnish singer called Pistepiste that I actually like:thumb_yello:. I have no other favourites so far, Cheesecake song from Belarus was kinda scary:blink: YESYESYES!!! It's Eurovision time!!!

Here is Finland's entry, band's name is Softengine and I must say I really like the song (I listen to a lot of indie/alternative rock). We have this contest in Finland called UMK (Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu=the contest of new music) where we can vote for our favourite and then the winner goes to ESC. And I'm really glad that Softengine won (althought I don't know if the have any chance to success in Copenhagen). I like their style in general too (and the singer is very cute:naughty:) [YOUTUBE]0PhtJmwzAxA[/YOUTUBE]

You are so lucky to have such great parents! I would love that if no one should announce it or "come out" or whatever. I mean why should it matter who you like? I always a big deal... At least in Finland it's pretty much okay to be gay (we have gay ministers and athletes too) but when it comes to anything else most of finns are like (what is this? should I be okay with it? how do I act around it? will other people think I'm too narrowminded if I say something?) It's all about labels. If you don't fit (=be straight or at least gay) you're pretty much a freak. But hey, it takes time and we are going in the right direction. And it comes with talking about it. Like some time ago it was really rare to talk about being gay, but the more we talked about it the more we were okay about it. Now it's time for others to follow.

I watched the episode few days ago and I think it was amazing, funny and exciting:naughty: I know that many people disagree with me but I really love the idea of johnlock (not to happen in real series!!! but in fanfiction) and I love that they give johnlock fans at least something. And as it comes to fan serving, yes I know there's plenty of that, but it's fine by me! (I know I live in my little fantasy world but I'm just glad that my wishes can come true sometimes) And luckily I watched it online because I really had to pause like every couple minutes to laugh or squee... But the great thing is that it starts in Finland already in January 19th! Usually we are always at least six months late...

I'm not a winter person but I mean come on... + 2 degrees in January in Finland and no snow at all! I don't like this, it feels like October or something:sneaky2: And without snow it's so dark and depressing. But at least one thing feels like winter, I haven't seen the sun for days!

In 2014 I will: 1. Get into University so I could become a vet (It's been my dream since I was like 4 or something. It's just so hard...) 2. Go out more and make new friends 3. Play more piano (I've been too lazy...) 4. Be a better owner to my dog (I'm sorry Nyyti I've been busy lately, I know I should always have time for you, no matter what) 5. Be myself, I'm tired to pretend to be someone else (And I really think I'm finally getting there but it's been a long way)

Hmmm... I'm not laughing, I'm just smiling out loud:wink2: I haven't heard that in years! Since it's almost christmas:newyear:: All I want for Christmas is New Year's Day by Hurts and Christmas Lights by Coldplay

That was just... And, yeah I now it's kinda old news what's going on in Russia, but since the Winter Olympics in Sochi are getting closer I'm waiting what will happen there. Do we get more rainbow nails (like in Moscow) or what? It will be interesting... At least US is sending some openly gay delegates as a "respectful message":wink2: I love that song!!!
