-Love at first sight?: I'd want to believe, but wouldn't that be rather lust than love. Ah, I suppose there is a situation that would be "love at first sight", but it hasn't happened to me, I've learned to love the one I love in a romantical sense.
-Believe it's possible to remain faithful forever? Deffinately. There is no way you would love someone and then hurt them by being unfaithful. It isn't love if you cheat.
-Believe there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?: Yes. I have seen it with my own two eyes, no bullshit.
-Do you wish on stars?: What?? You mean like ah, a wishing star, yes, and all the other stuff too when you are granted a wish (if you find an unbent note and you get to bend it first you get a wish, if you find your eyelash on your cheek you get to wish) so yes, I do that everytime.
-Did you get frightened or uncomfortable seeing that as a section title?: (this thingie was in a list of thingies and this section title was beliefs) Why would I be? I'm strong with my beliefs.
-Do you remember your first love?: I'm not sure. i'm not sure wether Gautam is my first love or was Sakari... but I'm dating the person who I said "I love you" to first time, and since that other guy is dead and I never did anything about my feelings for him for them to grow to be real love, then yes, Gautam is granted the title of my first real love and well, then obviously I do remember him.
-Still love him?: Duh. Of course.
-Do you consider love a mistake: Deffinately not! How could it be!
-What do you find romantic?: Being a little insane for love... ^_^
-Turn-on?: Mmmmm.... eh? I drifted in my dreams here. ^_^;; Well, small blunders, admitting that he is a human being, and those little mistakes that humans have.
-Turn-off?: Constantly trying to keep the cool, trying to be the bleedin' Calvin Klein-perfect man... -.-
-Do you base your judgement on looks alone: I don't think anyone in the world does that...
-If someone you had no interest in dating, expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel?: I'd think to myself "Again? Why can't they go have their crushes on someone else" and then I'd start avoiding that person because I would feel so uncomfortable around him and end up hating him because he's making my life difficult by making me have to avoid him.
-Do you prefer knowing someone before dating him or going on a date: Hmm, knowing like from school/work/ho
-Have you ever wished it was more "socially acceptable" for a girl to ask a guy out?: It is socially acceptable. This is a bullshit question and sides this "section" isn't about belief, but about dating! What a load of crap and a waste of time, which I will waste because I'm bored.
-Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?: No. I haven't been attracted to someone I found unattractive. I don't fall for my friends, and if someone is being my friend and I get to know them as friends I'd never be romatically attracted to them.
-Do you think the opposite sex finds you good looking?: Yes, I do. They have indicated it many times and I hate it when they do that, I don't want to hear it.
-What is best about the opposite sex?: Another bullshit question... -.-
-What is the worst thing about the opposite sex?: Guy-stuff... -.-
-What's the last present someone gave you?: A poster and a little silvery anchor I wear in my earring.
-Are you in love?: Yes.
-Do you consider your significant other hot?: Sexy? Yes. And also hot as in spicy, interestingly enough...
-What would you do if you were walking down the street and saw some hot guy standing on the sidewalk?: Give a glance and think "he's pretty" and then walk on.

Keep in mind, young padawan... ((where the heck did the SW-thing come from??))
British pole dancer Donna Cleeve has been forced to quit her job because she’s allergic to the metal pole. The 20-year-old from Portsmouth developed a red rash after each show before she realised nickel used in the poles was to blame. “It’s hard to look sexy when your legs and body are inflamed. I tried to ignore it, but in the end it wasn’t worth the pain,” she told London’s Sun. She’s now given up her dancing and taken a job in sales.
you just can't make this stuff up. XD

In all matters pertaining to religion I take this approach; be polite yet stern. It works on boths sides of the argument equally well I find. Both for those attempting to save, and those attempting to live in peace.
If you are sure of your beliefs then you need not worry of others questioning you. Be polite to them, listen to their advances without disparaging them, then courteously end the discussion.
If you belive others need to be shown the light then by all means introduce them to your religion. If you are refused than you did your duty to your fellow man, time to move on.
Be appreciative that they may in fact mean well, so be polite. Also note that they need to know that you are not interested in their beliefs so be stern.
Know that you are doing your best to show them a better way, but they may have encountered many before you who did the same. Be polite and understand that they have their own beliefs and have the right to end the discussion.

New years resolution time!!! W00t! So here goes:
1. I'll do this diary thing every day. Must remember. ((already forgotten))
2. i will stop fearing shite. "Humans replace all their emotions with fear" said Paulo Coelho. He has a point. Instead of feeling attracted to someone, we fear that they turn us down and we don't act on our attraction. Instead of feeling excited about new things, we are intimidated by change. Instead of hating, we fear our own hatred as something evil and wicked and try to hide it.
3. I had a third one but I forgot so it apparently wasn't one worth keeping. =D
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! Sweety, I love you dearly but you have the worst timing I have ever seen! You call to meet me when I'm staying at a friend's house - has happened twice now - so I'll feel uberly sad that I'm not in my own house. But I can't trap myself to my house just in case you are available. I need to go to places, and you need to tell me earlier when you want to see so I can reserve myself just for you.
But I suppose it runs in your family. Your aunt is also a master in bad timing. How many times has she called when you were over at my house, in my roommate-free room, getting comfortable... And your sister, and your uncle (and if I'm not mistaken, your dad too). Even your best mate has terrible timing in that sense.
But we'll manage.

En etsi valtaa, loistoa,
en kaipaa kultaakaan,
ma pyydän taivaan valoa
ja rauhaa päälle maan.
Se joulu suo, mi onnen tuo
ja mielet nostaa Luojan luo,
ei valtaa eikä kultaakaan,
vaan rauhaa päälle maan.
Suo mulle maja rauhaisa
ja lasten joulupuu,
Jumalan sanan valoa
joss' sieluin kirkastuu.
Tuo kotihin, jos pieneenkin,
nyt joulujuhla suloisin,
Jumalan sanan valoa
ja mieltä jaloa.
Luo köyhän niin kuin rikkahan
Saa, joulu ihana!
Pimeytehen maailman
tuo taivaan valoa!
Sua halajan, sua odotan,
sä Herra maan ja taivahan.
Nyt köyhän niin kuin rikkaan luo
suloinen joulus tuo!
Giv mig ej glans, ej guld, ej prakt
i signad juletid.
Giv mig Guds ära, änglavakt
och över jorden frid.
Giv mig en fest
som gläder mest
den konung jag har bett till gäst.
Giv mig ej glans, ej guld, ej prakt,
giv mig en änglavakt.
Giv mig ett hem på fosterjord,
en gran med barn i ring,
en kväll i ljus med Herrens ord
och mörker däromkring.
Giv mig ett bo
med samvetsro,
med glad förtröstan, hopp och tro.
Giv mig ett hem på fosterjord
och ljus av Herrens ord.
Till hög, till låg, till rik, till arm,
kom, helga julefrid.
Kom barnaglad, kom hjärtevarm
i världens vintertid.
Du ende som ej skiftar om,
min Herre och min Konung, kom.
Till hög, till låg, till rik, till arm,
kom glad och hjärtevarm.
Ja niin joulu joutui jo taas Pohjolaan
joulu joutui jo rintoihinkin.
Ja kuuset ne kirkkaasti luo loistoaan
jo pirtteihin pienoisihin.
Mut ylhäällä orressa vielä on vain
se häkki mi sulkee mun sirkuttajain,
ja vaiennut vaikerrus on vankilan;
oi, murheita muistaa ken vois laulajan!
Miss' sypressit tuoksuu nyt talvellakin,
istun oksalla uljaimman puun,
miss' siintääpi veet, viini on vaahtovin
ja sää aina kuin toukokuun.
Ja Etnanpa kaukaa mä kauniina nään,
ah' tää kaikki hurmaa ja huumaapi pään,
ja laulelmat lempeesti lehdoissa soi,
sen runsaammat riemut ken kertoilla voi!
Sä tähdistä kirkkain, nyt loisteesi luo
sinne Suomeeni kaukaisehen!
Ja sitten kun sammuu sun tuikkeesi tuo,
sä siunaa se maa muistojen!
Sen vertaista toista en mistään ma saa,
on armain ja kallein mull' ain' Suomenmaa!
Ja kiitosta sen laulu soi Sylvian
ja soi aina lauluista sointuisimman.
Och nu är det jul i min älskade Nord;
är det jul i vart hjärta också?
Och ljusen de brinna på rågade bord,
och barnen i väntan stå.
Där borta i taket där hänger han än,
den bur, som har fångat min trognaste vän
och sången har tystnat i fängelseborg,
o, vem har ett hjärta för sångarens sorg?
Och stråla, du klaraste stjärna i skyn,
blicka ned på min älskade Nord!
Och när du går bort under himmelens bryn,
välsigna min fädernejord!
I blommande vårar på gyllene strand,
var finnes ett land som mitt fädernesland?
För dig vill jag sjunga om kärlek och vår,
så länge din Sylvias hjärta slår.
Now Christmas did come to the north country here;
Christmas came to the snow covered strand.
Now candles are burning and shedding good cheer
Across all the broad, far flung land.
But hanging on high from the cross beam above,
A bird cage now holds captive my pretty dove,
Which, pining away, makes no sound, high or low;
Oh, who will take heed of the prisoner´s woe?
Oh, star, glowing bright, may your light shine on high,
O´er the northland´s remote wintry scene.
And then, when your radiance fades in the sky,
Your mem´ry will linger in dreams.
So dear none can I ever anywhere find
As may native country, the land of my kind!
And thanks do I offer with Sylvia´s song,
Resounding forever so splendid and strong.
Jouluyö, juhlayö.
Päättynyt kaikk´ on työ,
kaks´ vain valveill´ on puolisoa,
lapsen herttaisen nukkuessa
seimikätkyessä
seimikätkyessä
Jouluyö, juhlayö.
Paimenill´ yksin työ.
Enkel´ taivaasta ilmoitti heill´:
Suuri koittanut riemu on teill´
Kristus syntynyt on,
Kristus syntynyt on!
Jouluyö, juhlayö.
Täytetty nyt on työ.
Olkoon kunnia Jumalalle!
Maassa rauha, myös ihmisille
olkoon suosio suur´,
olkoon suosio suur!
Kun maass´ on hanki ja järvet jäässä
ja silmä sammunut auringon,
kun pääsky pitkän on matkan päässä
ja metsä autio, lauluton,
käy lämmin henkäys talvisäässä,
kun joulu on, kun joulu on.
Ei huolta, murhetta kenkään muista,
ei tunnu pakkaset tuikeat,
vain laulu kaikuvi lasten suista,
ja silmät riemusta hehkuvat,
ja liekit loistavat joulupuista,
kun joulu on, kun joulu on.
On äiti laittanut kystä kyllä,
hän lahjat antaa ja lahjat saa.
Vaan seimi, pahnat ja tähti yllä
ne silmiin kalleina kangastaa!
Siks´ mieli hellä on kristityllä,
kun joulu on, kun joulu on.
Lumi on jo peittänyt kukat laaksosessa,
järvenaalto jäätynyt talvipakkasess
varpunen pienoinen syönyt kesäeinehen,
järvenaalto jäätynyt talvipakkasess
Pienen pirtin portailla oli tyttökulta:
Tule varpu, riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Joulu on, koditon varpuseni onneton,
tule tänne riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Tytön luo nyt riemuiten lensi varpukulta:
Kiitollisna siemenen otan kyllä sulta.
Palkita Jumala tahtoo kerran sinua.
Kiitollisna siemenen ota kyllä sulta.
En mä ole, lapseni, lintu tästä maasta.
Olen pieni veljesi, tulin taivahasta.
Siemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit köyhällen,
pieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.
Taas valkeata joulua
keskellä suurten hankien,
muistan joulun aikaa
se kuinka saikaan
mun taas taakse vuosien.
Vain valkeata joulua
mielessäin ootan minä ain,
sillä hangen hohteessa vain
joulurauhan tunnen rinnassain.
Danke Rajat, this is funky ^^;
The Sun was in Scorpio at the time of your birth. However, reading your birth chart will show you the many other astrological factors that also influence your personality and the way you behave. Put them together and they give you a complete picture of the many astrological influences that make up your unique personality.
If still waters run deep, then yours can be unfathomable! "An enigma" is the only way to describe you, and even your closest family and friends sometimes find it baffling to workout what makes you tick. You may not even know the answer yourself! On the surface, you can appear cool, calm, and collected, completely controlled and much laid back, but underneath it's a very different story. Strong and complex emotions seethe away inside you, making you possessive, jealous to a frightening degree, and extremely intense.
Ok, wow. I dunno about the sun-stuff (November in Finland around 6.30 PM = not sunny at all, jk) but this is pretty accurate! About the surface-cool, inside-uncool all matches, same with the tickery-thing (I do like simple pleasures over the really fun stuff)
In spite of an infectious sense of humour, you take life extremely seriously, and get very steamed up about all sorts of issues, from the state of the world to the state of your love life. Because you've been blessed with a powerful and penetrating X-ray vision, you can see straight to the heart of any matter and use your intuition to suss out a sticky situation long before anyone else. When it comes to affairs de Coeur, you're fabulously faithful, loyal and loving, and leave your nearest and dearest in no doubt about how much you care for them. But it can be a very different story if you're betrayed or let down in any way, because you never forgive and forget.
Wow. Just, wow. So accurate. All this from my date and time of birth and my birthplace?? Wow. Yeah, I don't agree about taking seriously, because I am never serious (i.e. I am always kidding) but humm, taking love-life seriously? What other way is there to take it? What's the point of dating if you're not serious? Maybe that goes for life too... what's the point of living if you're not seriously living...
You're quite happy to store up resentments and recriminations for years before you can get your own back just as long as you triumph in the end. Watch out for this compulsive and vindictive streak, because once you unleash your revenge it can make you just as unhappy as your intended victim. Perhaps you should take a more philosophical attitude to life and learn to take the rough with the smooth?
Me? Vengeful? Ahem, well, if you have seen me use my Ebola-virus-ca
Power is something that's very close to your heart. You need to know that you call the shots, even if it's only behind the scenes and in a surreptitious and sly way. Sometimes you get caught up in tremendous psychological power struggles which turn into pitched battles for supremacy as you manipulate your rivals, use emotional blackmail or indulge in all sorts of dirty tricks!
This I would never admit to... anywhere else but here. Yes, there is a reason why I insist on knowing everything you know, and why I sulk when you tell me "you wouldn't understand" (yeah, haven't forgotten that one).
Just like the phoenix rising from its ashes, so you can transform your life by casting off people, places or situations that have outlived their usefulness, and then set your sights firmly on the future with barely a backward glance. That's because you're driven by a tremendous willpower that helps you to achieve whatever it is that you've set out to do. No wonder folk find you so mesmerising and magnetic!
T_T Owch. Only a horoscope can be this crudely and rudely straight with me. If anyone on Earth would come to me and tell this to me, I'd say "sod off not true"... But confession time: true. I have a plan and you lot are a part of it.
Determination and willpower flow through you, helping you to achieve whatever you want out of life and get to grips with your aims and ambitions. Once you have a purpose, you certainly cling on to it! You can do very well in business affairs or money matters, thanks to your shrewd, sharp and astute mind. Somehow you always seem to know what to do for the best, and can drive a very hard bargain! In fact, your kith and kin, which see the caring, cosseting and protective side of you, would be very surprised to know what a smooth operator you are when it comes to business dealings! What's more, your colleagues, and bosses could be amazed to see what you're like at home! The only thing they both know is the way you get very defensive over the slightest little upset. Without doubt, the most important people in your life are your family and loved ones, and your feelings about them are very tenacious and protective. You'd do anything for them, and usually do! If you don't have the cash to support them in the right style, you may decide to improve matters by working day and night to earn more boodles. That's alright for a while, but there's a danger that you can take things to extremes and end up being so busy you've never got any spare time to spend with your family! Social status comes high on your list of priorities, and it can be very important for you to keep up with the Jones's. You may even keep that in mind when choosing a permanent partner, going for someone who's higher up the social scale than you, or who's got a lot of boodle in the bank. Something you have to watch is your tendency to worry let's face it; you can get worried about anything at all! To make matters worse, you bottle up all your problems. Try to talk things out with someone sympathetic, otherwise all that angst can lead to lots of stomach troubles. It can also mean that your moods fluctuate drastically, making you very emotional and excitable.
I don't agree with the social status part. Or ambition.... Work hard, well, maybe in the future, since now I study... I think this part is mostly for the future-thing..
Relationships are so important to you that you'll go all out to make friends and lovers. Once you've spotted someone special, you won't rest until you've won them over! Tread carefully, because you can find it all too easy to fall in love, and never seem to learn from your mistakes, no matter how often your heart gets broken. You usually like a quiet life, with everything jogging along nicely. Sometimes you just don't have the energy, let alone the inclination, to get involved in a row or rumpus! Coming to a decision isn't the easiest thing in the world for you, and although you may be brimming with good intentions, somehow you just never get around to fulfilling any of them! That's not the case with sex, though, as you can be a right old raver when you put your mind to it if it's done in a refined way, on satin sheets!
God. Okies, making friends and lovers... applies to me in England, but not in Finland. But then again, finnish people aren't interesting. I've done that: chose a person I want to befriend and did that. Hey, I've done it twice here! Bwee. And the sex-bit... well, we'll see when I'm married ok? I mean, on their own everyone's good at it, there's only one person to attend to.
That's pretty much what you'd get for free from that place (sorry no linkie, dunno where it was)... and it was scarily accurate. now, people are gonna say "well those apply to all people" and all that, but so? maybe I am really really normal... guess what, I like it that way. Just like it says on that thing.
