That's my problem too. I'm thinking of doing something silly the next time I update my intro post, like a comic about how I got into fandom, a link to faily!artistic photos of my city and lists, tons of lists \o/

The southern parts, as well as Lapland, are worth visiting, I think I've just been numbed to the possible beauty of this particular place.
I've been to Rome once and I really really liked the city. I didn't get to see as much of it as I wanted to, but I hope I'll get a chance to come again with better company on a better time. Now I so want to see Rome in the Autumn, it sounds wonderful! You'd be a great at making travel advertisements! I'm already sold on the idea ;)
