Hi!

My name is Petra, I'm 32 and I live in Kuopio, Finland. I live with my two domestic short-haired senior cats, Iita and Lyyli. I like music, reading, arts & crafts and gaming. I'm a slow-going person with an obsessive-compulsive nature, and I'm guite happy to see myself as a bit of a nerd. I studied linguistics for a while, but at the moment I'm just trying to cope with everyday life.

I have recurrent major depressive disorder, so I have my ups and downs, and there are times when I'm not sending cards or might not even log in for a while. That doesn't mean I've gone AWOL – I always log in to register cards if I receive them, even if I don't have the energy to send any. But being depressed doesn’t mean that I’m sad or serious all the time! I like things that make me laugh, and I try my best to enjoy the little things in life.

I will be happy to receive any card you choose for me, each card is a one-time experience! If you feel like you want to send me a card specific to my interests (I have many), here’s some help:

• Pineapples! (My spirit fruit)
• David Bowie! (I have a serious passion for him)
• Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin
• Eye symbols (especially the all-seeing eye)
• Pink Floyd
• Ozzy Osbourne
• Animals, especially meerkats and raccoons. Any animals looking exceptionally cute or silly! Animal illustrations (esp. watercolor)!
• Internet memes
• Popular culture references/adaptations/parodies
• Anne Taintor
• Grumpy cat
• Cookie Monster
• Star Wars
• Language, linguistics, word play
• Mental health, insanity (I'm very open to humour on this subject)
• Psychology, psychological experiments
• Optical illusions
• Mythologies, mythological creatures
• Religions and religious history: esp. illustrations of deities, gods and goddesses (any religion)
• Wars and political history (esp. Germany and Russia), political propaganda
• Soviet Union (USSR/CCCP)
• Left-wing politics, liberalism, LGBT support, human rights
• Science and science fiction
• Space exploration
• Dark/morbid/grim art
• Art by Andy Warhol, H.R. Giger, William Blake
• Anything nerdy, really

I don't much care for nudity, babies/children, sports or holiday themes.

Write me anything! What's on your mind? What kind of habits do you have? Some random facts about you? Need to rant about something that you can't say out loud right now?
