How My Weekends Pan Out
Your Playlist
Friday after work:
Sudden urge to get a life! Maybe I'll go to the movies? Oh, movies starts at eight and it's now six... Shopping will tide me over! I need a beret. What a coat! So beautiful.. So cheap! Yes. No. Yes! No. YES! I'll go for it. What a surprise, a beret that actually fits me of the shelf. Skip the movie out of money spending guilt, binge on GG at home. Eat fried fish fingers and onions on a bed of rice
Saturday:
Slept 12 hours. Wake up at 11 AM. Feel so good! Should do something, go out. There's a Finnish People Living in London Christmas Party tonight. Totally want to go there! I have no ticket. I'll ask the organizer to add me on the list! I'm on the list, so VIP. Aha, don't you know it! Clean my room. Landlord has a visitor, have to act hospitable. "Act normal!" fail miserably. Apparently I'm way too mature for my age. This sucks. Shit, I'm late for the party! Makeup, clothing (the cheap black dress that looks divine but was bought from Halpahalli) and I'm off. Watch Youtube videos on bus. Used up my monthly internet allowance (shit), arrive. Top up Oyster card for smooth return trip/Monday. Can't find the entrance, feel morbidly out of place. Get in, crowded with strangers talking Finnish. MY PEOPLE! Start talking to two nice girls (Lotta and Sanna). Spend the evening with them and trying to make eye contact with a very pretty blond guy (I think he wasn't into my short hair...). Get home at 1 AM, moderately drunk.
Sunday:
Slept 12 hours. Wake up at 1 PM. Feel so good! Should do something, go out. Maybe not, want to just stay in. Eat porridge, as always. Hmm, maybe I should go explore Dulwich. THE SUN IS SETTING! Run to the park. Take picture using weird settings. Come home, watch TED. Landlord is making Sunday Roast. How very English.
I hope this shed some light on the intimate workings of my solitary mind. How do you spend your weekend?

1. Cut my hair. My appearance went from a tired 6 to a solid 7, so with normal make up and some outfit coordination we can even speak of an average 8. Pushing on 9 with increased mirror time. Single ≠ sad look!
2. Made lunch for Monday/Tuesday
3. Left the house on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
4. Went shopping (did not buy anything though)
5. Had fun, feeling generally better
-
1. Need to organize my new room with old stuff
2. Need to start doing exercise. Age/Bum=Hotness, so even though my bum would be great on an older woman, now I'm competing with 20 somethings. It's sad really. I'd do so much better in the 40 something league. No offence.
3. I'm homesick. I miss my friends and family. Having people over. A social life which I would hide from to my best ability. Funny how things change.
Pasta for the workaholics
MM
PS. I MISS MY WINTER COATS AND DRESSES AND JUMPERS AND ALL THAT WOOL AND THE BERETS!
Oh my, I'm almost tearing up thinking about it.

An Upcoming Storm
Moved to my new room, yeah! Life's going to get better, I know it :)
Or I mean, there are many options and I'm just trying to pick the better ones...
Big thanks to Gorm who helped me out from beginning to end. I would have been lost without you. Good for me he lives quite close by so if I need any help I can just pop by and make my plea :D
On another note a storm is raging outside. Wish me luck and talk to you later!

Of Cats, Rashes and Bacon
So I've been living with a cat for two months now. I was kind of prepared that I'd probably be allergic to cats as I get such strong reactions from dust. Well, that assumption turned out to be true. I have almost all of the symptoms you can find on Wikipedia. As the latest addition I have a gotten a rash on my right eyelid. But not to worry, I move out next weekend.
But what I did not expect was how living with a cat has changed my life.

Five Good Things / Three Bad Things
People or rather us Finns seem to have a tendency to make our lives sound worse than they actually are. Instead of focusing on the parts that didn't work out why not focus on the parts that did? As we say in Finland: Siitä puhe mistä puute :D (feel free to Google Translate) ("From the speech of the lack of it") (Oh in the name of the Doctor what a horrible translation)
Good things that happened / I noticed / are present in the universe:
1. I payed rent and deposit for my new flat
2. I cleaned my room
3. I slept for 11 hours
4. I made lunch for next week
5. I talked to my immediate family in Finland
Bad things that happened / I noticed / are present in the universe:
1. I burned my lettuce
2. I have terrible acne
3. I didn't go out
So here we have it. I'm still working on the five positive things. I'm pretty sure this will be a repeated thing so stay tuned. Have a great lazy Sunday!

New Tidings
So as you may or may not know I currently live in London. And as you may or may not know almost 2/3 of this blog have gone from being great moments in life to rather painful memories. I have yet to decide how to proceed with that issue.
Starting a new blog would not be ideal, as I am quite fond of this one. Yet again I'm quite fond of many other things as well and yet am unable to pursue them. I'll keep you posted.
...
Hugs and kisses to my long suffering readers, I'm off to see a room in Denmark Hill. Wish me luck!
PS. I highly recommend Atlantis, the new series by BBC. Something to keep one occupied while waiting for Sherlock and Doctor Who :D
