urgh.. seeing ze g’rents today. And I’ve only slept for like 3½ hrs. Should be fun. XP

Happy New Year! Last night was fun. We went over to Krisi’s for dinner (yummy stuff.. spring rolls, chicken, noodles, fruit salad..) and watched “Ice Age”. Then after the fireworks we came over to the hotel and watched “Heathers”. That was a weird movie. o.O

Going to KotiPizza today. First gotta find one though. Then tomorrow we’re going to celebrate Jade’s birthday at Myrskylä. Going sledding! Wheeeeeeeeeee…… I’d rather go ice skating though. Can’t find my skates. ;_;

sigh I really shouldn’t listen to the radio on the Net. For some reason it always makes me want to go back to the U.S. Well.. I’ll apply to FSU as a transfer student if I don’t like it in England. I just really miss the sunshine and the warmth. I hate winters in Finland. Too dark. Cold. Then again, my friends are here. So.. shrugs

Egh.. that urge to plan weddings is starting up again. I thought that I had gotten rid of it two summers ago, but obviously not. Wedding gowns, flower arrangements, tiered cakes.. all floating around in my head.. Someone get married already! I wanna plan the wedding! But I’m not getting married any time soon. Maybe in like 10 yrs or so.. Aha! I’ve figured out why suddenly these wedding thoughts have popped into my head. In “Pride & Prejudice” Elizabeth married Mr. Darcy and Jane married Mr. Bingley in the end. And then in “Bridget Jones - Edge of Reason” Mark proposed to Bridget. It’s like I’m surrounded by movies that deal with marriage. Even “Shrek 2” falls into that category. I love animations. I still prefer the cartoon animations to the computer ones, but I like “Shrek” and “Finding Nemo”. I think the reason why I prefer cartoons is because those are the ones that I grew up with. Jade might prefer the computer animations because that’s what she’s being surrounded with.

This is such a sad song. I wish I could sing along with it. But it’s in Spanish. And I don’t know Spanish. ;_; It’s about this woman who prays to the moon that she’d find true love. The moon agrees to send her the man of her dreams if they give their first born child to the moon. She agrees and falls in love with a man. They get married and have a child. The husband thinks that the woman cheated on him because both of them are dark haired with dark eyes while the child has blonde hair and blue eyes. The woman is killed in the end by her husband.. Or something like that is the story in the song…

happy sigh Today’s been a good day. Got to sleep late, had a wonderful breakfast of last night’s leftovers, went sledding and had a snow fight, went to the sauna.. ^__^

Not much has really happened since the last time I wrote. Had work.. cleaned (mainly it was just washing the dishes that Mom kept piling up while she was making dinner).. Dad came “home” for Christmas.. my cousins came over for dinner (took pics!).. and then came over here today.

The amount of snow in Myrskylä is astounding. I sunk all the way up to my knees in it. Too bad that it’s not the kind of snow from which good snow balls are made of. Oh well. Didn’t hinder the snow fight too much. :P Sledding was fun. Even more fun is rolling down the hill. grin Gives this Jack Sparrow feeling when you try to walk.

I don’t really like the smell over here. I think it’s because of all the cat stuff. Cats smell.. all animals smell. Like the hay (or whatever) people buy for their rabbits at the store. Stinky stuff. In a way, I do want pets.. but then.. I don’t. I mean, they’re expensive, they smell… and now I sound like that Alan character from Jurassic Park: “Babies smell!” rolls eyes

Dinner’s ready! I hope.. I’m kinda hungry.. haven’t eaten anything after breakfast.. which was like 9 hrs ago..

I feel so guilty about canceling a shift. But I don’t have the time to do that one.. and the money I’d get from it wouldn’t be worth it because it’s not an evening shift. Luckily the woman at Staffpoint was understanding and let me cancel it. I did tell her that if there’s no way of canceling it, then I would do it.. I don’t like calling them and asking if I could cancel. I feel like I’ve let them down or something because I’ve said that I’d do that shift. It’s not a nice feeling..

I’ve got a shift in about two hours.. and nothing to do over here. You’d think that there’d be something that needs to be done, but nope. Well, I’ll leave in about an hour and probably start my shift earlier. And this time I’ll remember to write that I didn’t have a lunch break if my shift is over 7 hrs. ^^;;

Egh.. no chair. Now my hands hurt because I’m in this really weird position. The Swedes have taken over my comp again. Not that today’s routine for me anyway. I’ve been writing Christmas cards that’re gonna be put on the chocolate boxes I wrapped yesterday.

Not much to say really.. two more days until I see my dad.. five days until I see Gubby. ^_^

And no.. the chocolates aren’t for me to eat.. I need to wrap them up in pretty Christmas paper. The work I’d usually do isn’t possible because my computer has been taken over by two Swedes. They’re installing a webcam type thingie into the reception. I’m on Paula’s comp right now. She’s at the Skatudden building with her replacement showing her around.

Jaz came home last night. ^_^ She’s lost weight. Looks good. Well, what I saw of her. I pretty much went to sleep right away when we got back from the airport. Only got 6 hrs of sleep. So now I’m feeling pretty funky..

Okay, they’re back.. gotta give up the comp.. sigh

Egh.. wet snow.. now my jeans are all wet. (Took the dog out for a walk)

I loved yesterday’s movie! “Girl with a pearl earring”. Just loved it. Love love love. The music, the costumes, the acting, the story.. happy sigh And of course.. (must mention these) Colin Firth and the guy who plays Pieter (or however it’s spelled).

And I’m going to go eat reindeer now. ^_^ (I love staying at Auri’s. They take such good care of me.)

All in all, today has been a great day. I didn’t get annoyed with anyone, the people at Kirkkonummi were very understanding of the fact that a correction in my timetable needed to be done and they even faxed it over to Staffpoint. ^^ Then my mom calls me (while I’m at work rolls eyes) but I couldn’t answer then. I called her back during my break and it turns out that my dad can come “home” for Christmas. He’ll have to go back on the 26th, but all in all yayness! ^________^ Then Squidgy is coming over to Finland tomorrow and Gubby’ll be here on the 27th and.. Basically, I’m just really really happy right now. Like on top of the world happy.

Okay.. that’s about it for now. Sure I could ramble on about random things, but we’ve all got better stuff to do, right?

Pick the ones that describe me and then post it on your own LJ! ^^

Ty!

Would she stop calling already? That was like three times in ten minutes. But then again, it was stuff that she really needed to know and couldn’t wait until Sunday when I get back.. It was nice talking to her the first time, but then when the phone just kept ringing again and again. Lol. She really should have a French-Finnish dictionary instead of asking me all the time. But.. Jaz took the dictionaries with her. shrugs Yeah, so Ma told me that they’re going to see Dad already on Saturday instead of Sunday. Solves my problem. I can go out with Auri tomorrow. ^^ It would be cheaper if I just stayed here until Monday, but I wanna go to the airport to pick up Jaz. And there’s a present in Järvenpää that I wanna give before Christmas gets here.. I won’t say what it is, but when I saw it, I knew immediately that I had to get it for the person that I’m gonna give it to. I don’t usually like orange that much, but this was pretty. ^^

Hmm.. what else.. Oh yeah! I had the strangest dream. It was about me distributing beer cases with this other guy all over a beach town and then being chased by a monster. Suddenly I’m showing off this really pretty red bracelet that I had made from beads and it had a double locking system and the lady wanted to buy it.. Next thing I know, I’m riding down this really dark hill and I have to put the bicycle quickly back indoors and pretend to be asleep on the couch while this Jeep pulls up in the driveway. It was so weird. o.O Then again, all of my dreams are.

Okay, I promised Auri that I’d walk Elli today before I left to meet Krisi in Iso Omena before my shift. So I’d better go eat something.. I wonder if anyone can break a 20 € note into fives or tens?? I need the bus money..

Another day of work behind me. Why do ppl always start forming lines when I’m about to close? So annoying.. There was this lady that stomped up to my register and asked me was I the only that she was dealing with earlier. I probably looked like a deer caught in headlights. I told her that I had just gotten back from my coffee break, so I probably wasn’t the one she was looking for. Then this other kassalady told her that the one she wanted just went on her lunch break. So the lady slams this sign down onto the conveyor belt and starts yelling at this other kassa about how unfairly Prisma treats it’s customers and how the kassalady in question didn’t believe her in the first place and that she wanted to see that she hasn’t been charged twice for the underwear, etc.. But she was polite to me when I rang up the right price for the underwear that she wanted. Another customer of mine was really really picky about the price tag on a CD that he bought as a gift. I asked him (like I usually do from everyone) that does he want it in a sinettipussi and do I take the price tag off. He said yes to both and when I tried peeling it off, I got the price part of it off, but the rest of the sticker was still stuck on the cover. I asked if it bothered him (there was a line forming behind him..) and he said: “I want it all off!”. So there I was.. peeling off every little bit of the price sticker that I could with my just manicured nails for 10 minutes. rolls eyes

I read about this pair of twins that are both pregnant with twins.. They’re predicted to be born on the same day too. o.O Weird.. I wonder what it’d be like having twins.. easier than having triplets I assume. What if all three of them would be crying at the same time? There wouldn’t be enough arms to hold them all at the same time! Unless of course there’s someone else around helping with them. But at least with twins you can handle them by yourself because you’ve got an arm for each. Just gotta hope that they don’t start crawling in different directions at the same time. ^_^;;

I dunno why I’m being told all the time that it’s amazing how I don’t complain about anything when things aren’t going that well for me, while I listen to others complain about things when they’ve got nothing to really complain about. I don’t see it that way. I don’t complain because : a) I have a roof over my head and food to eat b) great friends c) a job d) no one has died and I’m healthy I used to be really picky about what I loaned ppl, but now.. I don’t keep track of my stuff that closely anymore. My priorities have changed. Who cares if I don’t get all of my magazines back? That’s not what’s important anymore. Making sure that there’s enough money to pay the bills is..

Only 11 days to go! Hmm.. it just seems so far away even if it’s not. ;_;
