Narsisism

Narsisism can be a good thing in small dosages. You just have to know where the line goes. Have you ever felt like the story you are reading or the TV show/movie you're watching is speaking to you. You can relate to it. It resembles your life, your experiences but you know it's not about you. It can either be the past experiences or what you're going through right now. An example from my life would be the show "The L word". I remember few years ago when the L word came to Finnish TV and I saw the first commercials. They were selling it to us with Jenny and Marina. I was like "oh, what's this?" As I watching it something inside me started to realize that I could really relate to it. I could relate to Jenny's struggles. Not just because of the name obviously! Going through life with this weird feeling like I'm fooling myself but can't put my finger on it where and how exactly. Seeing Jenny and Marina opened the bottle for me and I realized that how I had lived my life before was really not me. I was fooling myself if I thought that prince charming was out there somewhere and our paths would cross one day. I realized my prince was actually a princess and by what you could say was a once in a lifetime chances, I found her. Her name is T but enough about that. Jenny's struggles to realize who she was spoke to me like nothing else before that. I could relate to that. But I knew it was NOT about me. The story wasn't mine even though it resembled mine. What I'm trying to say is that even though you read something that resembles your situation, it most likely is NOT about you. And being able to distinquish those 2...well, some people don't have that skill!

Kaverin ex otti nokkiinsa mun blogista ja kirjotti musta omaansa. Pari viikkoo sitten kirjotin kuinka mun tohtoritason kurssin tohtoriopiskelijat ei osaa rajata esitelmiänsä ja jaksaa puhua tunteja jos niitten antais puhua ja kuinka ne ei pärjäis normaali töissä ja tuntuu et ne on elämämtapaopiskelijoita. Tosielämän paineet olis liikaa. No tää ämmä otti nokkiinsa koska on hakemassa ylemmäntason koulutukseen ja kirjotti puolustuspuheen...ja mainitsi mun blogin ja pari virheellistä tietoo musta joten ajattelin kirjottaa näin oman vastaukseni. Ja mikä parempi tapa kun suomeks. Ei ainaka pysty lukeen tätä. Joten eilinen LOL oli mun vastaukseni hänelle. Sillä on myös todettu kaksisuuntainen mielialahäiriö sairaus ja historiaa sähköpostinlähettelyistä ja puhelinsoitoista ihmisille joista se ei tykkää ja niiden rakkaille joten yritän kovasti pysyä erossa englanninkielisestä blogista. En tiedä pystynkö siihen mut yritän kovasti. :-)

Shoutout to Elviira for you-know-what!

Yesterday T had a doctor's appointment in the morning and then the rest of the day she was working from home so she was already here when I came home from work. It was a nice change since we haven't really seen eachother too much earlier this week. We had some dinner but neither of us was feeling it and were craving for something sweet. In a household of 2 women that time of the month can be challenging. So we decided to go to our nearest A&P, a grocery store and load up on sweets. I bought cocoa and ice cream and T bought donuts and a danish. I'm not fan of those donuts so I won't be touching them but there might not be a lot left of the danish when T comes home tonight. I might have had 2 pieces yesterday and 2 this morning for breakfast...but who's counting anyway?!?! The bad thing is, when I get the sweet cravings, or cravings in general, there's nothing in the USA that can help me because I usually crave salmiakki or other candy only found in Finland...I would kill for a bag of candy from Makuuni! hint hint. Merkkarit, pantteri, salmikki pullonavaajat, aakkoset, punaset apinat, mini aakkoset, tatit...OMG, I miss Finnish candy!!! And not just salmiakki...there are way too many great candys in Finland. I will be bringing home a luggage full of candy when I visit in March.

Today I am catching up with my shows and hanging out with the cats. We have a date night tonight with T and her cousin might be coming to visit us tomorrow. We'll watch Sex and the City movie and hang out. Sunday will be spent on watching football and then next week it's back to school. It's almost thanksgiving! Great food, great company and most importantly, great SHOPPING!
