Hi!
Just wanted to stop by and tell you this: I watched "You've got M@il" after many years of not seeing it. It was PERFECT! I was so happy to watch it again, and as I did, my heart and mind went back to the time it was new in the theaters... It's such a great movie. I travelled back in time when I watched it and suddenly it was the 1990's again and I was still a teenager :) Now I'm listening to the Soundtrack, I bought it when it was new in the stores. Such good music! :) Makes me SOOO happy!!! And I will get Meg Ryan's hair-do from that movie next week! INDEED :)

Here's a Start...
...
Hey there!
Here are some facts about me:
I'm half Swedish-speaking and half Finnish-speaking Finn, My mother spoke Swedish to me when I grew up and my Dad spoke Finnish... I went to the only Swedish-speaking school in my City -Tammerfors- which is a completely Finnish-speaking City in Finland. I was born in Jakobstad, on the West-Coast of Finland, in a very Swedish-speaking area.
I'm a mormon. I was baptized when I was eight. For the first 20 years of my life I lived in Tampere = Tammerfors and the ward was Finnish. It was a big change in Church when in 2001 I moved to Sweden (the Stockholm-area) and everything in Church was suddenly in Swedish :)
In January 2001 I started my University studies at the University of Stockholm and my major was already then: English <3 Later I also studied Finnish (as a native tongue)...
When I went to school in Tammerfors I was bullied from First Grade until the first grade in Senior High School -that means 10 years. In the summer of 1997 I became ill and when I tried to go back to school I could not do it, I was too psychotic. So I got admitted to a mental hospital in the city of Nokia, to a hospital named Pitkäniemi. There I stayed for EIGHT months. Then I recovered pretty well and went back to school and graduated from high school, one year later than my first class that I belonged to.My new class was much nicer. No one dared to bully me after the previous class literally put me in the hospital :P
I've become more aware of the lack of action by the adults in the situation. WHY did they not stop the bullies? The teachers did nothing. But I guess they have to pay in their own way for their lack of action. They will be haunted forever by my story -the girl who was bullied for ten years in their school and finally went crazy -literally crazy. They must feel a horrible guilt. I understand that.
This is all for tonight :)

A New Blog about my Life
...
This blog I start today, to make known to people the stuff that I have been trough so that they can learn from my life and understand and learn from my experiences... I am adopted, I am a mormon, I am a Swedish-speaking Finn, I was bullied in School for 10 years and blamed my self for years for that, I have had a psychosis twice -once when I was 17 and all the bullying got too much and once in 2002 when I was studying at the University. I have mild asperger syndrome and mild ADHD. I have been going to therapy since 1997. I have also taken medicine since that time.
I used to blame myself. I used to blame the ones who bullied me. Now I mainly blame the School and my Teachers. I have not yet forgiven them all, neither my bullies or my teachers who didn't do a jack squat, to be honest...
I plan to write a book about my life and I believe that when I've gone trough and chewed up everything that happened -then I can forgive my bullies and my teachers. Also I need to forgive my classmates who did not actively bully me, but just stood by and watched. I have a lot to forgive and forget. This blog is one tool to help me do that.
