omigod!
I'm back!
Well.. Not really. It's way too hot (love it!) to think about computers or internet. .. and yet, here I am. Writing a blog. Which probably no one will read. Not that I mind.. I've been doing all kinds of not-computer-related things and I will be doing those for the rest of this week and the beginning of next. End of my summer holiday.. I have to make the most of it!
But now I'm home alone and out with my computer so I've got nothing else to do but to write a blog. And I'm watching Boomtown at the same time.
I read Emmi's blog and decided I should update you on my lil' life.
Not that anything has happened. Well.. Something did happen, but I won't tell you what. Nothing big, just great.
But.. Here goes.
MY SUMMER
+ Paul Anka touched my hand! He's one of those I've loved ever since I was a little kid. So the concert was more than awesome. 
+ I ran over a squirrel. In my defense, it was already dead. But still.. Poor thing. To die and as if that wasn't enough, be flattened after it.
+ My work is ending this Saturday. I haven't loved every minute of it, but it was great. So it's about to end, but I got so much out of it. .. Even a new friend! So.. Yays for me!
+ Only a week and my school starts.. Let's see how long I can take it this time. 
+ I've been watching Rescue Me and Eureka. And Boomtown. I have Standoff still waiting for me. And I got my first ever House-dvd some time ago! *happy* .. Weird thing is, it's still wrapped. I'm waiting for the perfect moment.. 
+ I've read two books this summer, David Kenyon Webster's Parachute Infantry and of course the last Harry Potter. Potter made me cry, especially the "Even after all this time? Always."-part. Right now I'm reading Pollyanna which Emmi sent to me just to cheer me up. Such a lovely friend that Emmi!
::::::
And that concludes my summer recap. That's not all that has happened to me after my last blog, but I can't remember things! It sucks to have a bad memory.
I managed to lock myself up with the pheasants yesterday.. I went to give them food and decided to close the door so that they wouldn't escape. .. Well after that neither would I! Lucky me I wasn't home alone.. I screamed for my mom and she came to let me out. Okay, I may be stupid enough to lock myself up there, but if that happens to someone by accident and there's no one else.. Have fun sleeping there with 104 pheasants running around you pooping everywhere. Unless you want to run among 5 extremely "playful" wild boars 'cos that's really the only, only way out. And that includes dropping yourself from upstairs to downstairs 'cos there aren't any ladders anymore. It's not a big drop (and you'll survive, ask my brother).
More with birds.. Gawd I'm obsessed with birds! ( and the number 33, but that's a whole different story. 
) So, anyway.. Yesterday (as well, what a birdy day!) we were at our summer cottage. There are loads of ducks (you know, Daffy Ducks, not duckducks) and we feed them. This time there was this one which made me laugh all the time. He sounded just like Donald Duck laughing! And you know how I love Donald! .. So whenever something happened the duck would start "laughing" and it really felt like we were in some bizarre cartoon.
Meh. I'd love to stay outside and enjoy the warmness that is Finnish summer at it's best, but I have to work this evening. So that means I have to take a shower right about now. And there's something wrong with.. something and we apparently can't get warm water today. So yay me. Just what I need.. A cold shower and evening shift at work.
But I've decided to play Pollyanna's game, how you should always be glad about something in everything that happens.
Cold shower means that I'll enjoy this warm weather even more.
Evening shift.. I don't have to go swimming today as I get to spend this hot day in a cool place.
And the rest of my days end so that I have at least my evenings off.
So believe it or not.. I'm all happy!
Comments
but nothing much, I just did what I felt like I had to do. and now I've got a friend instead of a coworker. you don't have to make me drink a bottle of whiskey or do it yourself. I conquired my stupid fears! yay me! and I got to go to sauna. so no cold showers for me!
You better hope I'm not this giddy when I come to Turku.
you wouldn't stand me a bit! .. I'm way better when I'm like Eeyore, the Tigger-me is just annoying.
I demand details later Hehe and I love it when you're giddy so I do hope to see this in Turku too
You seem to have had a great summer (except for running down that squirrel). And you made a friend!
I'm so glad you got over whatever it was that kept you from doing it before. Playing that game is a great idea. I've read the book in grade school, but maybe I should again. There's never enough of good going around.
But still, what is it with no. 33???
And once again I'm going to tell you how happy I am to see you blogging (and that it's full of smileys and good stuff) and, well, that you're feeling great. *hugs*
How do you manage to lock yourself in? I've locked myself out of my house before. Only because our screen door went weird. 
Enjoy playing your game & whatever little time you have left of work. Before you know it, it'll be winter again. 
But on with the show, I'm happy and I'll enjoy every minute of it and the rest of my summer holiday!I have to say that reading Pollyanna helped me get over my ridiculous depression.. But I would never stand someone like Pollyanna in my life! It wouldn't take long for me to start looking for something sharp or pointy to kill that person, or myself. I need my daily dose of depression.
33.. is just a funny number.
Weird how it seems to be everywhere once you start looking for it! .. And what about 5033?! My gawd! The pheasantville is locked all the time, closing the door locks it. I forgot this important little detail.
There used to be a way to open the door from inside when we kept turkeys and chickens there.. But with these little roadrunners every little hole had to be sealed. So I locked myself in with them and they didn't like it.I'm actually kinda expecting autumn already.. I love it how it gets dark soon, there's rain and all the beautiful colors,.. and candles! I love candlelight! .. I hate spending summer in the city, warm days are wasted that way! Autumn is perfect to be spent inside drinking tea and reading a good book. .. or watching BoB and House.
Nice to read a new blog of yours. I'm glad that your summer is going well. I don't really care for summer, can't stand the heat. We had three weeks of exteremly hot temperatures and now we're experiencing a week of thunderstorms. Summer can't end soon enough for me. I prefer fall. I agree, fall is the perfect time to snuggle up in doors with a mug of tea and a good book.
I've never read Pollyanna. I saw the movie version with Haley Mills and I overdosed from her perpetual state of cheerfulness. I hope you enjoy the book.
I'm enjoying Rescue Me and I loved the show, Standoff. I'm getting addicted to the show Damages. Can't wait until Season 3 of House is released.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Hopefully, we can manage to chat sometime. I'd love to learn more about you.
I love Rescue Me! Full of great actors, great dialogue and great music! .. And I've heard so much good about Damages, I think I have to give it a try.
I'm so hoping we could chat!
Soon! I'm gonna have so much time starting next week.. Unless Emmi and I think of something to do every day. It's gonna be so much fun to have a friend there close to me and not be alone all the time. Meredith.. 33 is a number that for some reason seems to be everywhere. Do I look for it? I think I do. (and so will you after now!) For me it has something to do with someone and a certain building. And a can of beer. And a lottery ticket. And I love it! The best number ever!
By the way.. Even the grumpy guy who delivers our mail likes to talk to me!
He's mean to everyone else but for some reason not to me. 
.. I feel so special!
I'm happy you're happy, seems like you had an incredible time during the summer. nice to hear that. Rescue me is amazing. I didn't watch it from the beginning but I remember how excited I was when I discovered. I love Johnny even if he's not that much on screen... I started watching Jericho last week and I like it but since I'm not american I'm not that much into the show...
you said "when I come to Turku". do you study there??? Did you know that I was supposed to study there?? Instead I chose Karlstad because I could get more ETCS credits... I miss my student time
This world is so small! Great to hear from you too! I've been reading your blogs.. but as always I've been too lazy to add a comment. 
I had a really lousy day today.
Everything sucked at work, and I felt really angry, sad and, oddly, mean all the time. Then just to top that, I went swimming tonight and lost one of my earrings, a christmas gift from my dad!

And you won't tell us what happened? :-O Unfair! Well, I guess I know
