Christmas Wishes


This Year My Christmas Wishes are:

*A new Blackberry Bold (or Storm)
*The Golden Chocolate Book
*A Ton of Black Chocolate (for making that Special Christmas Pie I mentioned)
*A Cordless Home phone
*Sims 2

It's still November so there will be changes.

PS! I'm typing on my brothers computer and his S key doesn't work, so I'm sorry if some S's will be lost.

Estonia.


My homeland. I live in Tallinn, the capital and the biggest city (~522 thousand people). It's lovely with an old town (800 years old) and a town center with lot of shops and modern buildings. I live in Kalamaja. Kalamaja was a very deserted and ugly place when I first came to live here, but now it has beautifully reconstructed old houses. It' s not a very turisty place, because the neighbourhoods in which it sits between, aren't very friendly. I am a "homie" so it's okay for me. :D
Estonia has about 1,4 million people and lots of forrest. The wildlife is as beautiful as the city is. The temperatures are about (Winter) -5 to (Summer) 17 degrees, but in the last summers it has been rather 20-30 degrees. Last winter wasn't very snowy. It was dirty and wet.

In Estonia, where I live, is snowing. Thick, icy snow. The kind of which you can make snowballs of. In Estonian it is called "sulalumi". It's very simple to say. "sue-la-lou-me" . "Sulama" means melt and "lumi" means snow.
I was at my classmates birthday today. We went to watch a movie and then ate Mexican at her place. It was a lot of fun. After that I came home and watched Eddie Murphy on "Inside Actors Studio" . After Eddie was Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone (First not Second). Not one Christmas goes by without it. It's a tradition. Like my fathers tradition to watch Sound of Music on Christmas Day. It was so cozy. I was without my parents (mother in Hong Kong, father in Põlva [a small city in the south of Estonia], visiting my grandfather) in the house and it was so nice. I made myself some Hot Cocoa. In the pot, not in the microwave and put cinnamon in it. I'm telling you, I will bake a Christmas Pie some day, if I have time. I just love winter, and Christmas especially.
Right now It's 2.41 here (12.41 GMT), if my clock is right and I'm watching Whose Line is it Anyway US.
I LOVE WINTER!!!
<- It like this in Estonia (well, in the forests anyway)
