I arrived late, late, after dining and talking

Hey - I found my way here through blackcigarette, and you fascinate me. Also, London stories fascinate me, because things always happen to me in London (previously proved a month ago) and I like to picture myself in stories that might actually happen to me. Possibly not as much as in stories that might not, though.

As for who I am - quarter of a century or so in years, Finnish/Estonian/Swedish/whatever, currently living in Estonia doing my Masters in journalism, one day going to launch an un-career of a bookstore owner/freelance writer/freelance translator. Also one day going to be happy. That's it I guess!

Friends?

So you're a moodswinging git who laughs a lot, and isn't really scary.

Ha.

I'm gonna go to Estonia one day (would you recommend it?)

Ok, let's be friends.

Well it's true!

Oh, definitely come to Estonia, yes. It's a wonderful country with a lot to give, and an amazing mixture of medieval/Soviet/ultramodern and nationalistic/capitalist/underground. I mean I have a love/hate relationship with it, but that's just because, um, me and Estonia "have a history".

But definitely do not just stay in Tallinn. Tallinn is beautiful but nowadays also mainly populated by Finns and full of Finnish chains, it's all pretty awful. I live in Tartu myself, an old university town of 100 000 people, and this town I love, sincerely.

Ok, you've convinced me about Estonia ... and I've aded Tartu to the list of places to see.

I'm glad it's true ... even if "gits" are usually guys.

Oh, I've never even thought about that actually. The "git" thing. But hey, I strive for a gender neutral world anyway. And female expletives kinda suck. Except in Finnish.
