http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Geography_of_Estonia

In Estonia, there are:
  • 2 000 000 cars (mostly '81 Toyota Corollas, '79 Datsuns and '71 Ladas.),
  • 1 500 000 cell phones,
  • 1 000 000 PCs (usually with quad-processor systems based on 80386 or 80486 CPU-s) and 9 Macs,
  • 500 999 freezers,

  • 350 banks or credit institutions,
  • 15 state organizations, and
  • about 3 and a half public schools

...connected to the Internet.


...That's why in 1940 Estonia conquered Soviet Union and occupied in until for fifty years.

...The king of Estonia is Edgar Savisaar (a.k.a Savipäts, ninasarvik, Savi, Rico Suave, Sarvik...

As of October, 2005, Savisaar was officially appointed the national hero of Estonia under the name of Kohuke The Great.

The vice president of Estonia is Homer Simpson, well known for his ambitions to bring about world peace.

I wish people would stop telling me I'm not good enough. I wish people would stop telling me I'm not fast enough, strong enough, smart enough... I wish we could all snap out of this very estonian-like attitude of "we're just not fucking good enough and don't you even dare think otherwise."
I live in a small town. A small town where nothing ever changes. Everything has come to a full stop and everyone expects it to stay that way. But you see, I have dreams. I have dreams of actually going somewhere with my life, actually doing something. Getting out. And yet, nobody believes that I could possibly achieve that.
I have heard my mother tell me, countless times since telling her that I'm about to switch schools, how much easier it would be to stay in my old school. How much harder it's going to get and how my grades will drop. How I'm not going to make it. And if I tell her to stop telling me off, to stop bringing down my self-esteem, it's already fucking low enough, she just denies it. I can still hear it though, ringing in my ears. She said it. And she will say it again. Why? Because change in this town is something bad.
My home town is mostly filled with old people. Everyone who is young and wants to go to the university, must move out to Tartu or Tallinn. And then they are encouraged to come back. To work as someone invisible, someone with no future because that's how it has been for decades in here.
We are forced to think that this town is our future, that we have to come back because of some elusive pride everyone else seems to have. And adapt into the same lifestyles as everyone else. Living in a bubble, unable to understand that the world is changing. Unable to accept that people are different and it's something to be cherished, not hated. Living up to their necks in hatred, racism, phobias and fear.
It is for some reason the general consensus, that we are just not good enough. That we are lower. Maybe it's an isolation thing, maybe some remnant of the soviet-era belief system or perhaps a memory of our ancestors in slavery, brewing away at the back of our heads, making us unable to believe in ourselves. It is for some reason believed that when it comes to the rest of the world, they are better and we could never achieve their greatness and you know what? Trying would be just pointless so we may as well give up.
And it's time we, as the new generation, stop thinking like that. We can do it.
We can fucking do it!
We are not lower, we do not give up. We are brilliant and we can achieve anything we want, because we have the means and we have the brains.
And yes, it's going to be hard, it's going to be dissappointing and it's going to be painful. But that's just life. Nothing is ever easy and the flower may look ugly as ever, but it will smell sweeter than anything you have smelled before. All we have to do is keep going. Push ourselves through the barriers, and dream big. We are all equal, we can all do whatever we set our minds to if we just try hard enough. And would you stop listening to them haters? Geesh, girl, they know nuffin. Nuffin at all.
The world is ours and we can do whatever the hell we want with it. You just watch us.

My blog visits

So after like a year I finally discovered that my blog has some stats too and I found some pretty interesting things. Like the keywords people have searched for in google to find my blog.

Obviosuly there's a bunch of keywords that were probably used to search specifically for me, like kellytalv, kelly talv, kellytalv blog and kellytalv every thing
The kellytalv.hots sort of disturbs me.
Also how did someone find my blog by typing in estonia I have no idea. Or moskva esmaspäevad sinised for that matter.

Apparently my most viewed post is Movie review-ish thing: Twilight Eclipse. Not too hard to guess how that was found or why. I guess all the people coming here thinking that someone has written a movie review were deeply dissappointed.
that is followed by another random meme of doom. And then *clingz* Again, no idea why or how it was found.

In total my blog has had 3,061 pageviews.
Pageview breakdown by countries is as follows:
Thanks to everyone who has actually taken the time to read at least something from this lil blog of mine and don't be afraid to comment? :D

Ooh also, I love this song:

Stephen Fry: [discussing rainbows] In Estonia they believe that if you point at a rainbow, your finger will fall off.
Alan Davies: Oh, for God's sake.
Stephen Fry: I know.
Alan Davies: Estonians aren't stupid people, are they?
Stephen Fry: They're not.
Sean Lock: [holding up his fists] They're very stumpy, though.

It's 2011!! Still!

So I was scrolling through my old posts. Starting from last Januray and found a post of all the things I was amazed about and felt the need to comment now, even though I'm about a month late but whatever. Here it is.
The original post was January 4, 2010.

I'm amazed at myself. I really am. For many reasons. First of all I'm amazed that in four days I have made four blog posts.


It is quite obvious that when I started this little, project shall I call it, I was way more willing to post I guess. Or y'know, had more time. Of course back then I did believe this to be like my usual project doings: couple of months tops and then I get bored. Somehow though, I went all the way up to 80 posts in 2010. Let's see if I can keep up the pace in 2011.

Third of all I'm amazed that I have actually made plans for tomorrow. Sleepover at Kadis. So there is hope for me yet.


Well that hasn't changed. I mean the no life part. I did today go to this multymedia theatre thingymabob but going out once hardly counts as a life.

I'm also amazed that I survived the New Years Eve and Christmas.


Well, past me, you will have a wonderful Christmas in 2011. I am amazed though that I survived New Years this year. I guess it's sort of a tradition to try and drown yourself in a glass of kids' champagne and hope to achieve some sort of happy state thanks to the sugar.

I'm amazed that it's 2010 already. Seriously though, what happened to the past 10 years?


Dude, 2011, wat? Bambs and I were listening to music from her phone and some old track came up from the eighties. And that was like, 30 years ago! wtf?

I'm amazed that I'm in 8th grade. I made it past kindergarden? Seriously?


DD: graduation, exams, changing schools... all the good stuff is yet to come I guess...

I'm also amazed that I have started listening to metal/rock/hard rock music and wearing dark colours


Heh... that really hasn't changed in a year. My music consumption now has diminished and I've moved back to some form of pop but rock still dominates my MP3 and the rest is just really weird songs from artists nobody knows. Or really old songs.

I'm utterly amazed that I have been chatting on EESTI boards for 6 months now and I haven't pissed anyone off yet. I haven't right?


Holy mother of stargate. one and a half years now... Now /that's/ something I thought I wouldn't see.
Of course it's really not what it used to be (for like a month or so when we started) but hey, we keep in touch.

I'm amazed that I haven't got glasses yet. I sit behind the computer screen for 6+ hours every day (haha I wish, it's probably more like 8+) . But that is probably only because I haven't been to a doctor to check my vision since last spring.


That spring, almost two years ago is still the last time I had my vision checked but honestly I continue to see wayyy better than some certain people I know...
But my computer time continues to be 8+
Or well, now maybe less seeing as I have more lessons and school lasts longer.

As for the rest of my blog in 2010, I don't doodle on my maths notebooks anymore. ot as much, anyway because maths lessons tend to be more interesting if you actually have something to do and you understand the subject.


I miss ski camp, I wish it would happen once a year, every year. Was amazing. I still haven't gone skiing this year, though.

I sort of liked the quotes at the bottom of the pages, maybe I should start this thing up again. Although it was sort of a pain to search for them.


Music to go with posts is always good, it makes you remember certain stuff. To read the post and listen to the song or watch the video and immediately remember exactly what was going through your head at that moment.... it's bliss.

My room is still a mess but I cotinue to keep my books carefully filed away. Books tend to be more important than trivial things, like food and breathable air.


That story I was supposed to type up in march, 2010? Lol.

I still procrastinate a lot. I still leave things undone and then complain when it ends badly. it's sort of what I do. But hey, I haven't fallen into that great deep pit of darkness I was in last year around this time (or well in march but I'm hoping to steer clear of that this year). Yet.
Like for example, tomorrow I have a maths test. And I just cant bring myself to study. And then this russian thing that I can't do and I'm screwed if she asks me. BUT OHWELL. My sanity gets me lots farer (wat?) than knowing what a tap is in russian (It's rakovina by the way. I think)

Katja is still cute and Enter the Ninja is still the creepiest song ever.

I proudly say I don't play FarmVille anymore. Or go on facebook for that matter. Only to wish people happy birthday occasioanlly and post some things I feel the world (or rather my list of contacts) needs to know.


I'm still obsessed with stargate and dr who. And sanctuary and ncis and all those others.

I wish I could pwn something this year aswell. With me to all the olympiads has been Kati who just keeps going in, coming back saying all ohgosh I did so bad I'm going to lose and then she's like second or something and I'm sixth. fuuuuu...

I WANT MY RED STREAK BACK!!!

Ella is still muymuy cute.


Stargate is still the coolest thing ever. Since y'know sliced bread.

Dr who is still awesumesauce and new season should start very soon. YAY!


I still think I look awesome with a pen drawn 'stach. And i'd still date myself. Cause, y'know I'm still awesome.

I continue to suck at arts.

Citrus fruits are still superawesome. Mom also discovered Pomelos so now we eat those like bread or something.


I love my blog. For several years now when I look back, I remember nothing for nothing ever really happened but now, now I have the chance to go back, relive the moments in pretty good clarity. So what I'm saying is that I'm not likely to end this thing any time soon. And y'know if I'm too slow on posting feel free to poke me.
