...I began writing a rather strange blog

By popular demand (or rather repeated demands by one person) here’s my blog – in English! Because writing in Estonian is too mainstream! Oh, wait... That doesn’t make much sense. Neither will this blog! Hah!
Now, I know I could have just continued my old blog and started writing it in English but honestly, that would have messed with the aesthetics of the whole thing and everybody knows I’m all about aesthetics. Not to mention it would confuse the hell out of my grandparents. So, here’s my new blog: uncensored (not that my grandparents don’t already know that I’m a raging alcoholic – they’ve seen the videos), completely in English (some Estonian might slip in from time to time) and lacking a narrative. It’s just going to be about the stupid things I’ve done, the stupid things I’m still doing and the stupid things I will most probably do in the future. Let’s face it: I have a habit of making horrible decisions with hilarious consequences. Hilarious for others, not for me.
So, a quick recap of my life for those who don’t know me. I was born and raised in a depressing smalltown in Estonia. I went to the university when I was... older (majoring in psychology) and at the age of 22 I went to Japan for the first time – a decision that has shaped my life thusfar. I had fun, came back, was miserable, entered a study abroad programme and moved to Japan for a year in September, 2013. Had fun... Lots of fun... Came back to Estonia and... well, here I am. 25, unemployed, with a useless degree in psychology and having no clue as to what to do in the future. Yay me! My parents must be so proud. Honestly, when I was younger I imagined that by 25 I would’ve already achieved something but I guess life never works out the way you want it to. Not that I mind though. I’ve experienced so many amaizing things and made great friends in the past few years. I don’t regret anything. My year abroad was the best time of my life thus far. So life didn’t work out the way I expected it to – it’s been better (and far more interesting) than I thought it would be. Sure I don’t have a job or a love life but I have tons of experience living in Japan and a lot of new friends all around the world.

Pity that I can’t pay my phonebill in experience though...
