Finglish?

I've posted two posts now and already I'm wondering why I wanted to write in English. Maybe some of my readers (when I finally have them) are wondering the same. 

The original idea was that it might be easier for me to write about my feelings in English. To create this happyhappyjoyjoy-English speaking alter-ego. But it turned out that  my vocabulary might not be vast enough to do that. I can do the everyday chit-chat, but at least occasionally I´d like this blog to have more depth than that. Also, I'm wondering if I get my tone of voice right. I'm afraid that I sound too cocky or too positive or  strangely American or basically anything else than what I intended. But if the Americans, to my experience, seem happier and more easy-going than the Finns, then whats the harm?

Well, since I've already started, I'm stubborn enough to keep on going. Also, I like the name Hurdy-Gurdy Life too much and it isn't even nearly as good in Finnish. So please, bear with me and my Finglish and keep on reading.

PS. I'm working on on some birthdays' resolutions, and hopefully I get to make a post about them.
