Here's your chance to find out more about [s]Simba[/s] me!

I'm a happy person. I'm also an optimist, and tend to get deep and philosophical at times. I also think I'm rather good at analyzing things ;) I could imagine myself as a psychologist, but at the moment it's not where my passion lies.

In the future, I'm pretty sure I have to choose between going to drama school and going to university to study English and/or journalism. I'm not happy at all that I have to make the decision, because I want to do both so badly. I've always wanted to be an actress, but I've also always wanted to be an author-journalist, and I probably won't have the time for both – especially when I'd like to study acting in UK so I could become a musical actress.

Favourites
Band: ABBA, Savage Garden
Singer: Elton John, Alexander Rybak
Colour: green (but basically all of them!)
Food: pasta
Edible thing: Chocolate
Drink: milk
TV show: Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance
Movie: Lion King (really) and other Disney Classics, Amélie, Mamma Mia!, Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Grease
Song: anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber, ABBA, or Disney movies
Book: I can't name just one.
Author: J.K. Rowling, Roald Dahl, Edgar Allan Poe, and others.
Magazine: Seventeen and a Finnish girls' magazine called Demi. (!)

Random facts about me:
- There are three black-and-white pictures of Audrey Hepburn on the walls of my room.
- No matter how clean my room is at times, it's always back to messy in a couple of days.
- My mom and I have a somewhat similar taste of clothes: I often loan her things.
- When I was in 8th grade, there wasn't a day when I wasn't wearing a bandanna as a headband.
- At the moment, I'm listening to "One Man, One Woman" by ABBA.
- I can list all the United States and their capitals by heart.
- I never throw train tickets away.
- I have several foreign pen pals.
- Keira Knightley is my absolute non-favourite actress.
- I have an earring addiction. I'm very, very rarely seen without wearing a pair.

Random things I love:
- When I'm at a shoe shop and there's a whole shelf full of different coloured Converse sneakers.
- When someone puts an arm around me.
- Fancy dresses. There's really a princessy side to me, though I usually wear jeans.
- Coming home from the Christmas church and discovering the big sack of presents waiting at our back door...
- Earrings – and making them. I've made them from, inter alia, Barbie shoes, candies, diary keys...
- Writing and receiving letters.
- Maps. I have a big map of Ireland on my wall.
- The London Tube Map.
- The Andy Warhol pop art style.
- Alexander Rybak.
- Blueberry pie!

My vices:
- Curiosity – I'm almost nosey.
- Jealousy. Let's just say it has always something to do with the opposite gender. ;)

What I'm reading at the moment:
- Hamlet by William Shakespeare
- Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
- Ten Short Stories by Roald Dahl
- The Story of San Michele by Axel Munthe

And lastly: Why my name is Demeter? Well, Demeter is the name of the oldest baobab tree in Zimbabwe, and I'm half Zimbabwean, so... yeah.

Just kidding. Demeter's actually my favourite character in the musical Cats, as I may have told to some of you. I'm 100% Finnish, and I have no idea whether there are baobabs in Zimbabwe. Gotcha.

Ask anything!

Anziuksen pitäisi lukea mun sille joulu/synttäri lahjaksi antamaa kirjaa, mutta väitti tänään että päivä meni siivotessa. Yeah right :roll: ! I know I'm boring, what do you expect of me at 01:18?

Well, don't let curiosity kill the lion! *chuckles*

You must be my lost twin; I enjoy anything to do with cats, especially the Warriors books. And my favorite color is green, too! Put it there, twin.

You wear jeans, but love dresses, are reading Les Misérables, love chocolate and ABBA and Elton John. And you sing and act.

I love you already, my fellow Saggitarius!

ABBA and Elton John are the best. I'm not a fan of neither but I like them. The Lion King is also one of my favorite Disney films. Grease is among my other favorite films. I've seen most movie-musicals except for Mamma Mia. I also love chocolate.

I love Mamma Mia! I seriously know every song by heart because my mom, who also loves it, plays the CD in her car nonstop.
And Disney is like my favorite movie maker of all time, Lion King is truly genius.
I also love Seventeen.
Okay bye. :]

Haha, I know all the songs by heart, too :D For example, last week, all I ever listened was my 4-Disc ABBA cd ;)

I'm always happy to find another Lion King lover!

*squee!* You are my long lost twin!
I came into this world wrinkled and ugly. And no matter how much I accumulate here, it's a short journey. I will go out of this world wrinkled and ugly. So I enjoy life.
