Hello there. Bonjour. Hallo.

If I remember correctly I did have a post or two here already before this one, but I deleted them for one reason or another. I most likely wasn't happy with them and decided to start over, if you will. Let's start with some of the basics:

Hello, my name is Sanna-Kaisa but I think it would be nice to be called Sam. Yeah, I like that name a lot for some reason. I have blue eyes and brown hair, though I want to dye my hair turquoise soon. I'm a bit on the short side.
I'm from one of the Nordic countries, Finland, and at the moment I'm 19 years old. I'm still in high school because I decided to graduate after three and a half years, so I'll be graduating in December. I'm not quite sure yet where I want to go to study after that. What I do know is that I want to study something that has to do with art one way or another. I live with my parents but I am planning to move out after graduating and getting a new place to study at in, hopefully, another city.
I've been in a relationship for eight months now with a lovely gal, and to be honest I'm a bit surprised that it's going this well for this being my very first relationship ever. Cheers for that. Sorry hun that I'm not that good with replying to messages. I know I need to work on that.
I enjoy listening to music, drawing/painting and playing video games. I'm trying to save enough money for a PS4 and I want to get Bloodborne. I'm also really looking forward to Fallout 4. Two of my favourite game series are Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid.
I'm also a fan of manga and anime. Couple of series that I really like: Hellsing(manga)/Hellsing Ultimate(anime), Gangsta., Ouran High School Host Club, Death Billiards/Death Parade, Mushishi, Hetalia and Ore Monogatari!!. I of course also enjoy some of the anime movies, such as Spirited Away, Wolf Children and The Tale of Princess Kaguya. There are many other games/manga/anime/movies that I like, I just named a few.

I guess that's enough of that. I won't be describing what my overall nature is like, because I'm very good at that kind of thing. It isn't easy for me to just simply say that "I'm nice", for example. Every individual has a different idea of what a "nice person" is like, and like I already said I'm not good at that kind of thing, so let's just leave it that. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that you can judge for yourself what kind of person I am. What am I to stop you.

Our family got a puppy about a week ago, and she's now nine weeks old. Her mother is a mix of a Labrador Retriever and a German Shepherd, and her father is a mix of a Labrador Retriever and a Golden Retriever. I gave her the name Venla. She is mostly black, but she does have a small amount of white fur on her chest. It's barely noticeable, though. She was a bit timid at first, of course, but now she is way more confident and comfortable with us and has so much energy. She really loves to gnaw things in our house, especially the corners of our kitchen's carpet.
I've picked up my camera again and have started to take pictures more. I'm one of those people that enjoy to be behind the camera far more than in front of it. I took some pictures of our flowers in our garden, trying out some of the different settings, and also of Venla.

Recently I realized that I think I am much happier than I've ever been for couple of years. I've gone through my own little share of teenager depression, and even had some thoughts about self harm and doing that to myself. I never got to that, though. I guess I just never got that far deep into it, and I'm also terrible when it comes to dealing with pain. But, right now my life is better. I've come to realize some things about myself, such as that I'm asexual, and there aren't so many things to put more pressure on me. There is still school, but now I only have three courses (German, French and art) so there isn't so many subjects to be stressed about.

I realize that my mind can be a bit less... developed in some things than it seems (to me) to be with others, but I try not to let it get me down. Not as much as before, anyway. It is one of the reasons why I don't take part in some conversations even if I would want to. I would rather tell things about myself through painting, but even then I am sometimes scared of the possibility of being too weird or even childish. It is one of those things that hold me back from drawing more at times.

There were these two days that I was proud of what I managed to draw. A rather detailed design for some tattoos for a character of mine called Sam. He has tattoos on his back and front, but I'm mostly proud of the back tattoo.

It took me some time to do, especially with the spine and the feathers of the wings, but I think it was completely worth it. I know it could be more symmetrical, but I think it's quite good for being traditionally drawn. I might have cursed myself with this, though, as now I would have to draw his tattoos every time I draw him. Well, why not suffer some for the art you make.

I think this all for now. I don't feel like writing about anything else right now, but I surely I will some day later. So, until then. See ya.
