About
Stolen from Verbal-Whore.com. A story of Mima's life told by the master herself. I currently live alone with my dog Jappe, in few days that might change but for now it’s just me and the man of my life. I was born here in Helsinki but was dragged to a small tiny place when I was few months old, I’m not sure exactly how young but I’ve been traumatized ever since. There we stayed long enough for me to start my first grade. So in middle of my first grade my future was saved by a move back to Helsinki. We stayed here for some years, till it was time for my 9th grade an in the x-mas table my dad dropped a bomb, we would move to Warsaw, Poland. I was sure that my life was ruined, I would have to attend to a private school with diplomat kids who only read books and consider fun to be solving math equations. Yeah right… How wrong was I… I made friends had so much fun and my friends from PL still warm my heart. Since family traditions are very important my dad decided to start one, so the next x-mas in the dinner table my dad informed us that we would be moving to Budapest, Hungary. Since some of my friends were moving away and it seemed to be normal to move around it wasn’t as bad as the move to Poland, but it was still really sad, which isn’t really the word to describe the feeling but with a lack of a better word I’ll use that. So when school ended we came to Finland and I met all my friends that I had before we moved. Naive person that I am I thought it would all be same as it was when I moved, my friends kept telling me about all the people that they have met while I was gone and what they did etc. So when I told my friends about the people I had met, one very close friend of mine just told me that she wasn’t interested since she had never met these people. Why do I mention this? It did leave a mark in my already traumatized persona… ;) So after the summer break we moved to Budapest, since we had already learned the basics of moving to a new country we didn’t stress so much and I was very hopeful that I would have as good luck in Bp as I did I Warsaw when it came to making friends. In Warsaw I met my best friend for that year the very first day, getting lost and not speaking English was a major bond maker. So the first school day in Hungary I made a friend that I still keep in touch but it was the second week of school that changed rest of my life completely. You guessed it, I met Caro. In Warsaw I was the only Finnish student ever in high-school so I wanted to track down all Finnish people and I had heard that Caro was Finnish so I went and talked to her. She’s been my best friend ever since. We spent two years in Hungary and Caro ended up coming with us to Finland, she was accepted to school in NY, but instead she followed me to the end of civilization.
When we came back to Finland we assumed that we would move back to Helsinki, but instead we moved to a small town. That was the worst cultural shock of my life, from a huge city to a small town. Well I ended up living there for little over four years,
well during one summer me and Caro moved to a really tiny town and lived in a fire department but that is completely different story. So that is my extremely shortened version of my life so far… I might upgrade it eventually but I think it’s good just the way it is. I just have to clarify that moving to Poland and Hungary were one of the best things that have ever happened to me and I thank my parents for dragging my a** out of Finland to see the real world.
