Hello my name is Iida-Maria, but you can call me Iida-Maria or Iida.. or whatever you want. I am 17 years old, but I'm turning 18 on September.

I live in Finland, it's in the northern part of Europe, in between Sweden and Russia. My native language isn't English, so my grammar isn't the best, but I will try. I speak Finnish (of course), English(as you can see ;D), Swedish and some German. I know a few words in Japanese too but I'd like to learn more. :D

My hobbies are reading, playing video games(Guitar Hero and Final Fantasy-series~<3), I really like watching movies and I'm very much into manga and anime. I also listen music and I like all kinds of bands, but I really don't like Finnish or English rap. :/ At the time my big favourites are The Gazette, Evanescence, Girugamesh and An Cafe.

My favourite books are the Twilight series, Harry Potter series, any books written by Walter Moers and many, many other books. I read A LOT, mostly fantasy and suspense, but I read other books from time to time, too.

The best movies are The Lord of The Rings-trilogi, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa, Brothers Grimm, Edward Scissorhands, Fast and Furious, Avatar, Twilight and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Hmm~

I have recently 'found' some nice artists/bands, first was Girugamesh, then The GazettE and now Miyavi. I've thought about checking them before, but only recently did see if they were any good. And I really like them all :D

Woo~

I FINALLY did draw something today. It's not really good, I only used an hour or so, but maybe it'll do..

*Sniff* (rant)

GAH!! It's summer vacation soon and I'M SICK! *pout* My nose hurts from sneezing so much and my throat is sore :/ And it's exam week soon, so I really don't like missing classes now..

Oh my..

I just noticed that I haven't posted anything in here for over a year o.O Jeebz.. Well I can blame the school for it :D I am a freshman(high schools first year?) now and had to go to a different school, get new friends etc. I drew one nice picture too.. but I forgot to get it back from my teacher and I guess it doesn't exist anymore :/ Maybe I'll draw it again when I have time :D

Thank you for reading this <3

~Iida~

I'm sorry!

I still haven't gotten around drawing.. well I did but they were so bad that I'm not going to traumatize you with them xD And now I don't really have time to draw.. there's a lot of tests coming up and all that crazy school stuff but maybe someday.. mah.. anyway got to go now. Buh byyeee!
