Five Things Challenge

I guess it's time for personal talk again – Mizzie-Me from Music & My Mind tagged me to reveal some things about myself! So, here are some obscure facts...

5 things I need daily

• Toothbrush
• Chewing gum (it seems I'm addicted to dental hygiene)
• My cellphone (got to know what time it is)
• My calendar (got to know which date it is and what's going on)
• Something to read (or I'll go insane)

5 books I recommend

• Ensemble, c'est tout by Anna Gavalda
• Utvandrarserien by Vilhelm Moberg (I dare you to read this without crying)
• The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa (I dare you to read this without crying)
• Perhe on paras by Elina Karjalainen (for all Finns in the audience: if you ever run across this in a flea market, do not hesitate)
• Anything illustrated by Aino Havukainen and Sami Toivonen

5 materialistic gift wishes

• A new backbag
• Some fun simulation/strategy PC game
• One of those fancy smartphones (to replace my 6-year-old Nokia)
• Colourful sweaters
• A print of my favourite Kate Beaton / Hark, a vagrant comic

5 places I'd like to visit

• Prince Edward's Island, Canada (and Canada in general, actually)
• Australia
• Denmark (as always)
• Iceland
• UK beyond London

5 adjectives that describe me

• Smart
• Creative
• Meticulous
• Worried
• Introverted

5 maxims to give to others

• Photoshop will fix it.
• Never say never.
• The front row equals the best vibes.
• Don't panic.
• Do to others as you would have them do to you.

I will pass the torch to an old pal, Reta at Todella vaiheessa. If you speak Finnish and love books, you will love her blog (and I bet she will come up with a nice list for the Five books I recommend question)!
