First.

The main idea for this blog is to keep up with my über-great list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. The orginal idea and all the credit goes to the Livejournal community "101 Things in 1001 Days" (which I can't link for whatever psychotic reason) and its creators.

A tiny introduction:
My name is nina. I'm 21 and I live in Finland. The most important things in my life right now are my 2 cats, Uinu and Rutto-Kaneli (very roughly translated as Sleepy-one and Plague-Cinnamon which, I know, doesn't make any sense), and my 2 girlfriends which sounds a lot more kinky (and/or complicated) than it actually is. I consider myself pretty normal, although I have a ..thing with electronic devices which seems to break if I touch them.

I'm passionate about quite a lot of things: gay/animal/women's rights (and more..), environment, awful tv-shows and movies, music (though sadly, I don't play anything, not anymore), writing, reading.. I get excited almost too easily.

I try to update this blog everyday, with a heavy emphasis on the word try. And without further ado, here's the list:
