Why is music so important to me?

This is a very difficult question... When someone asks me if music is important to me the answers simple, but when asked why it's important, it gets all complicated. I mean, music isn't important to everyone.
I've kind of grown up with music, even though my parents aren't very musical or anything. When I was really small my mom took me to these music classes for little kids where we just sang kids' songs and played kantele, a Finnish traditional instrument that is very easy to learn. After that, when I went to school (age 7) I started to play the flute. At the time when I decided I wanted to play, I didn't actually even know what a flute looked like. I just liked the sound of it, I guess. Now I'm in love with it of course, and I've actually started to rehearse it since I'll have to complete my basic level this spring, and it's going to be a lot of work. After that I'll have to start playing in the conservatory level...
   Well, to get back on my actual story...

The infamous first post!

Hello and welcome on this internet-adventure which is my blog!

For this blog-thingy first I think it might be good for anyone reading this (that's you) to know something a about me. My screenname is a nickname one of my friends gave me and it's quite close to my actual name. I'm a Finnish girl, age 14 (though I'm turning 15 on the 27th of January) and I'm on 8th grade. My main hobbies are playing classical music and dancing ballet. I also draw, read (books and manga), write, watch movies and anime and (obviously) listen to music. (This starts to sound like a dating site post... Well I hope we'll have a great blogger-reader relationship!)

I've started this blog mainly because I really want to get my thoughts written somewhere else than a diary, but I've realised that it has a lot of other great sides. I want to improve my english and hopefully find some new people. 

I want to write about things that bother me, make me smile, worry me, make me cry or just make me angry. I really enjoy writing and so I'm looking forward to this!

I'll start writing soon, see you then!
