Family influence

florannaI adore my family. I think they are absolutely awesome. Of course not perfect, far from it, but even when I have a disagreement or annoyed at someone, I wouldn't change them to anyone. My best friend said to me, when I mentioned that I couldn't imagine dating someone who wouldn't stand my parents, she just said that she wouldn't imagine anyone not liking them. Warmed my heart deep down.
My mum has a very short fuse, and when she feels, she feels fully. She is an on/off person, who talks a lot, is very social and lively. She also has an amazingly accurate (and nitpicky) dirt-detector. I love her to bits, but I know that being too long alone with her will make e cringe. Why? Because she talks and always waits for me to take part in the converstaion, when I just want to read my book or be in my thoughts. We are very different in that aspect. ^^' She is also a nurse, which has brought all of us kids very strong stomachs, because she always talks about her job at our dinner table. She in a nurse in neurological surgeries, who deals with the anesthesia. She has also completely spooked me in that way that it's impossible for me to drive a bike without wearing a helmet. ^^ (skull like a crushed melon...) I have also noticed that I have a very low tolerance in fics for moronic doctors and nurses thanks to her, a nurse who reveals a character has a cancer to a complete stranger (to her, the other person knows the character), not even in an accident, just as a pass-on in a conversation? A quick click on a back button and indecent amount of seething. My mum never reveals the identity of her patients or anything completely distinguishable on them. She always talks very vaguely about the and that...breaking of that ethical conduct makes me just mad.
My dad and I are very same. Both of us enjoy quiet and peacefulness, read a lot, watch movies and tv. He was the one who introduced me to Battlestar Galactica and into several other space shows. He also worked when in uni in a scifi magazine as a secretary (it had just started publishing then) he was there few years and that magazine is Finland's biggest scifi magazine still going strong. And the funny fact? I got to scifi and fantasy by myself and have met the people who knew my dad then and are still making that magazine. Guess some things are genetic. ^^ We also both love hiking. And I absolutely love it when he calls me his little Impgirl. (it sounds better in Finnish)
But you know what is the best on them? (well, expect that they love me...) They have never forced any of their values or thoughts to us. When I was a kid (and still now) when I asked who they voted in different elections, they refused to answer that. Even the party that person was a part of was a no-no. When I joined the Left Party, my mum just laughed and said that the apple wasn't falling far from the tree. She was a part of that when she was young and know I think votes social democrats or greens. I don't know. They won't answer me. ^^ My values are my own, they have never outright said anything what I should believe in. My dad isn't a part of church, but my mum is and she isn't religious. I have Faith in God and am happy to be a Lutherian, but they have never mocked me on it. Or even commented it. They let me be who I am.
My sister is very same as my mum (their fights are riotous...) so we don't do things much at together, but I love her smile when I compliment her clothes. It makes me so proud of her. She is the least academical of us three and I know she doesn't like high school, but she still is there and makes me proud every damn time. She is also very good with kids and I have a suspicion that she'll in future work with them too.
My littlebrother...is fifteen. He rubs on to me entirely wrong way, but I am god-knows-only proud of him. He has a dyslexia, so he's school work isn't always THAT good, but he truly makes effort and is the best of us in math. He also has some interent in it, too, unlike me and Kata. All of us have studied extensive math in high school, I only because it helps when getting to uni, Kata only because dad wants it, but he truly knows it and likes it. I studied extensive math in juior high school, there was a test so I could get into that class and I passed it. Tuomas did that test too but he didn't pass, which I think is completely wrong. He just panicked and couldn't concentrate when the test was... The funny thing is, when his school had a national wide Business math test, he became the third. And from the three he was also the only one not in extensive math class. ^^ (the first two were girls which fills me with different kind of glee) His dyslexia slows him down, but he is smart.
This is a post which has been on my chest for a long time.
