I've had a quite a shitty week and it's not even over yet, nor does it stop next week BUT... I just had to post this. A week from now is Tampere pride and I have no idea what the plans are or if I'm even seeing anyone I know or what's going on and how I'm getting there etc....but this much I know: few days ago I sent a text to my old best friend and roommate and asked her if she wants to go have coffee/drinks/something to eat after the parade and before the night festivities start and she just answered that lets do terrace if it's nice! YES! LETS!
It's been 6 or 7 years since we last saw each other... a lot has happened since then. But I just couldn't stop smiling when I got that text. Will be fun times!
Some of the things we did 12 years ago:
-After my matriculation exams were over in 1999 we worked together at the Voyager of the Seas (at the time the worlds largest cruise ship) in Turku (technically Naantali) harbor as cleaners after the fire during construction. We drank ever possible night that bars were open so we were hungover quite a lot. Sometimes when one of us was too hangover to work we let each other sleep at the roof the bathrooms in the cabins. And brought buckets for each other to throw up. Good times!
-We watched every possible ice hockey world championship game in a bar during happy hour and drank as many beers/ciders/lonkero's and salmiakki kossu shots as possible. No wonder we were hungover so much. (And no wonder I can't drink booze or lonkero anymore)
-Oe time during a game a guy got little too obnoxious so I spilled my beer on his crotch on purpose (and ran away)! She followed me little later.
-That midsummer we went to Yyteri camping. I dared her to kiss Hanno Möttölä (Finnish basketball player who used to play for Atlanta Hawks) and she did!
-We/I named her car Henri because its license place started with HNR. We also talked to Henri a lot because he was kind of a woman, hormonal and very moody. Sometimes he purred like kitten and sometimes he didn't start at all.
-The only time she came to visit me in Tampere while I was studying there she met her now baby daddy/husband/boyfriend/fiance.
So there...I can't wait!
A longer and rambling post is coming...so much to process...so many things to discuss.
Have a happy weekend!
Toodles!
