Aw how thoughtful!! :) Incidentally, I didn't think there were many American smokers! Bonus! :)
This was cool, and I'll return it when I have more time if you want. But people find me like an open book because my entries are pretty much my life for everyone to see :)

((With the exception of the painful entries I write in Finnish as an attempt at privacy lol))

I was wondering where my newly enreddened, platonic girlfriend was! :)
Thank you for filling that out. I am actually preparing for a trip to Helsinki in the future (it'll be a while before I can afford), but you must SO take me to all the cool clubs and then watch the morning clouds as our hangovers wear off..... *sigh*

I've been buried under a pile of extremely boring school books. And procrastination. Like, I've been watching this really cheesy German soap on youtube just to avoid studying.

Sounds like a plan! Unless you've been traumatised by my latest entry on clubbing. Things often get a bit, well, weird when I go out.
