Gott ist ein Popstar

My list of "the best songs ever right now". Lot of Finnish music, naturally. Still I think that they're worth listening even if you can't understand what they're saying. I am listening to Oomph! right now, and I don't understand a word, even though I've studied German for two years. I've forgotten everything in a year, sad thing. I'll start it again in future.

But hey. I've marked all Finnish songs and bolded very very good ones.

Chisu - Oi, muusa! (Finnish)
CMX - Melankolia (Finnish)
Depeche Mode - Photographic
Disney - Pocahontas: Colors Of The Wind
Edward Ross - In Dreams
Egotrippi - Nämä ajat eivät ole meitä varten (Finnish)
Eluveitie - Omnos
Emiliana Torrini - Gollum's Song
Enya - I Want Tomorrow
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
Fool's Garden - High Time
Husky Rescue - New Light Of Tomorrow (Finnish band, in English)
Itkevä tyttö - Elämäni mykkäelokuvassa (Finnish)
Kronos Quartet - Requiem For A Dream
Lemon Demon - Your Evil Shadow Has A Cup Of Tea
Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhattan
Maj Karma - Sodankylä (Finnish)
Memory from Cats
Mew - Coffee Break
Mindless Self Indulgence - Straight To Video
My Chemical Romance - SING (It For Japan)
Oomph! - Das letze Streichholz
Pariisin Kevät - Meteoriitti (Finnish)
Patrick Wolf - Damaris
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Placebo - Running Up That Hill
Queen - Show Must Go On
Raappana - Karuselli (Finnish)
Röyksopp - What Else Is There
Scandinavian Music Group - Vieläkö soitan banjoa? (Finnish)
Seminaarinmäen mieslaulajat - Taina (Finnish)
Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair
Sir Elwoodin hiljaiset värit - Hämärän taa (Finnish)
Stam1na - Likainen parketti (Finnish)
Sting - Englishman In New York
Tavaramarkkinat - Kevät (Finnish)
Tehosekoitin - Hetken tie on kevyt (Finnish)
The Cure - Kyoto Song
Verenpisara - Aamuisin kun sataa (Finnish)
Zen Café - Piha ilman sadettajaa (Finnish)

It was great to do this, so many of them brought memories to my mind and I've always liked nostalgia, so. And I found again many great artists, like MSI, Oomph!, Depeche Mode, Leonard Cohen...
This is not a perfect list, because the world is full of amazing music and I can't even remember all my favorite bands. But there's some of them in it. At least I tried. And yeah, some bands (MCR...) have loads of great songs, and I had to pick one randomly.

I feel like translating some Finnish songs in English. Don't know if I can really do it, 'cause I'm not good or anything. I would try. No one reads this blog anyway. (Except Vilma.)

Yesterday was my 16th birthday. Lots of unexpected presents, hugs, good people, chocolate, everything. I got a new camera! And some Chinese jasmine tea. And an aphorism book, aphorisms by Paulo Coelho. (From Vilma.)

I'm feeling good.

Let's follow the cops back home

I want to travel I want to travel I fucking want to travel. A few days ago I talked with an Omegle guy who told me about his travelling plans and I got this "that'd be so great" feeling. I want to see everything. And I don't know how to do that, because I don't have money and I won't have money because I'll be studying next ten years, because I don't want to get a job because there's no job I'd like to do. Sad story.

Maybe I just hitchhike around the world. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Surely.

I love Morrissey right now. I'm extremely nervous, don't know why, and Morrissey can almost calm me down. Almost. I'm writing this stupid story about a geeky guy who eats pizza and chats online. I laugh at myself. Almost.

I feel so idiotic.

Finland is such a beautiful country, still. I've been looking out the window and there's a blue lake with swans and everything and when I think about those people who can never see it from their window... It's kinda sad. But every country has its virtues. And vices. Finnish policy sucks at the moment. The people are just calling each other names and scowling about stupid and meaningless things. Adults... And of course I would do better, yeah. But at least I don't think that the parliament is the best place to do personal commentary.

"You are just spineless worms!" - a certain politician about a certain party

I should sleep. I've got a huge sleep deprivation. Good night, my unsubstantial readers. (And Vilma.)

Hey guys.

My name is Mandi, I'm sixteen years old soon (was born 05/28/95), and from Central Finland. My English is bad, I know, but I'm working on it. (Ahaha, watching movies and reading fanfiction random stuff, hard work.)
I've been writing a blog in Finnish for a long time. However Finnish is a language that only Finns understand. And I want to share my very excellent thoughts with everyone who wants to hear them - yeah, I don't really know if anyone wants, yeah - and, well, here I am with my invalid English. I apologize.

My big dream is to publish a novel some day. I like writing. I'm not bad at it (in Finnish!). I've applied to a writing-specialized high school, I have interview next Thursday, and I wish I'll get in. This summer I'll be working irregularly in my aunt's bakery.

I love this whole world, it's wonderful. It would be impossible to list all things that I like. Right now I like especially My Chemical Romance, Paulo Coelho, summer (it's here at last!), yellow, permanent markers, barefoot walking, The Cure, Simon & Garfunkel, rain, foxes (!!), frogs and so on.

My life isn't always sunny, I don't think anyone's life is. Nowadays I cry often, feel alone, rejected, confused, lost, anxious, wrong(ed), unclean, angry, ashamed, used, you know. But I believe that one day I'll win. I'll be myself and do things that I want to do. It will be awesome.

I'd love to have you as my friend. Feel free to contact me. Email me (maanantaisin @ wippies.com), leave a comment or anything.
