just got home from a party in Toronto. this trip is serving me as a lesson in moderate drinking. i don't want to drink finnish style if everyone else is low key...so. people thought i was local at the party, but in the end i was called Finlandia which is what i brought with me actually. it's nice that my accent would pass for a local, but the truth is that my communication and expression is limited, i lack words, synomyms, phrases, slang...knowledge of the language to rape it... a persons expression is a part of their personality, and mine is limited in english. so i feel like people sort of get a limited or wrong impression of me. in finnish my expression is fairly colorful i think, and even if it isn't, it's perfectly under my control and totally me.

i did a little bit of shopping today and yesterday. shoes, shirts, underwear, jewellery...
the shoes are kinda cheapo but well, they were cheap, so. [below]














one pair of earrings has these hearts hanging and they make a sound touching each other... i think they might be a little over the top for finland. i tend to end up buying this shit that i can only wear here comfortably and that is kind of WTFDYTYA in finland. (Who The Fuck Do You Think You Are)
