1. I'm hopelessly addicted to coffee since maybe five years back. A minimum of two cups a day is needed to keep me going.
2. I'm not a morning person. I love evenings and nights, and falling asleep when the sun comes up. Sadly, society is not designed for people like that.
3. I want to learn Russian! Properly. It's hard work.
4. I want to go interrailing in Europe next summer, for a month or two. To see the world and meet people.
5. Generally, I love travelling. The Trans-siberian railway is another project, and I'd like to go to India, most of Africa, Iran, and Turkey, and the whole of Europe and then Canada and the States as well, and South America because I know nothing about it. I think Vienna is next on my list, though. Possibly St.Petersburg next spring, if I go on a language course.
6. When I'm rich, I'll do the motorbike-around-the-world-thing. Maybe I can get someone to sponsor it if I make a documentary as well, á la Ewan McGregor.
7. I love horses and riding. It's a very expensive sport in Finland so I can only afford riding once a week, which is not enough if one wants to learn anything at all, which is very frustrating.
8. I'd like to go and buy a lot of graphic novels right now and read them. I should re-read Watchmen, find The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 300, more Sin City, and dammit I want those HUGE Sandman-collections that cost fortunes.

TAGgiNg!!

I'm fascinated by questions of gender. It is interesting how big a part of what we consider to be our gender is actually based on a cultural idea of what a "woman" and a "man" is, and how difficult it is for many to interact with people who don't fit into the cathegories, because there's no social code to take to.

I have to finish my essay on the Cholera epidemic in Turku 1831-32 by tomorrow. Tomorrow I also start working. After that, NO STUDYING for the whole summer! Yay! I can read books, and enjoy it. Work is cool that way, when you come home afterwards, you're allowed to slack.
