I'm Finnish.

Read the post title, because I don't feel like repeating it.

It's actually rather odd, (now that I come to think about it) that I've never told you this before, since me being Finnish is really quite a big deal to me.

I am actually half Finnish. My father is allll Finnish and a little bit Swedish and mum's ancestory lies in the UK; mostly in Britain & Scotland.

So.

About Finland.

First thing: In Finland, they don't call their country Finland. In Finnish it's called Suomi.

You don't have to try to pronounce it.

For those of you that don't know where Finland is, it's here:

It's beside Sweden, sort of; And it's roughly shaped like a maraca..... or a spoon.

Anyway, moving onward.

The Finnish Flag. How nice.

This is a Finnish sauna. Saunas are a huge part of Finnish culture.

Real Finnish saunas can heat up to at least 130-ish degrees Celsius.

You may see puny infered saunas at Canadian Tire or the Home Depot but those. are. not. saunas.

They are IMPOSTERSAUNAS.

Aherm.

So anyway, I do have a sauna; at my house and at my cottage.

If you would like to know how to pronounce it properly, then look no further.

Finns pronounce it;

SOW-na.

yes.

NOT;

SAHHHHH-NAHHHHH

nononononono.

MOVING ON;

Reindeer.

They are real.

And they live in Finland.

While we're on the topic;

Santa.

He is not real.

But he does live in Finland.

Here ends my terribly slapped-together post about Finland.

Hope you liked it.

If you didn't, its probably because you're Swedish.

Inside joke. Don't ask.

Well actually, I wouldn't mind you asking, because that would mean you'd be commenting.

But nevertheless, I've run out of words to type.

Hats

are so.. fun.

I really can't come up with a more imaginative word to describe them right now, so let's go with that.

In the middle of  my grammar class DVD... (oh c'mon. it was just review anyway..) I decided to clean out the little shelf above my closet and discovered a hatbox stuffed with adorable vintagey-ish hats.

Well, I guess 'discovered' isn't the best word since I knew about the hatbox, but I didn't remember what was in it because I hadn't looked since I was little and thought the hats were ugly and odd.

anyway.

This one's my fave.

Perhaps the only slightly good picture of me ever taken.

Moofuzza here is modeling this one for me because it looks positively ridiculous on me.
Either that or I'm horrrrrrible with a camera. Probably a lil' of both.

Awww.
This one is cute too.

This one was too large for the cow AND it looked rather laughable on me so I had to hold it.
It's cute, eh?

So.

I have a request. Can somebody who has tried the new blogger dashboard tell me what its like?

It is better or worse..?

Can I still edit HTML?

Can I go back to this one if I don't like it?

Pleeeeaaaaaase tell me.

If you do.. you'll be my 8th best friend.

really.

probably.

maybe.

sorta.

not really.

whatever.

Just please do.

Thank-you for reading,
