What are the chances that in a town of 18000, with a thriving gay community (yeah, right) two 30 something year old lesbians who knew nothing about each other have american exes?
What are the chances?

Charging batteries
I went to bed at 7:30am this morning. I slept maybe 3 hours and I still feel like my batteries were charged. Wanna know why? I spent the weekend in Helsinki and went to a gay bar with a friend. I feel slightly hangover but no nausea or a headache. I can't remember the last time I went to bed at 7:30am. Is it Pride week yet?
And I even skipped the Finland bronze medal game today. Who knew?

Bipolar gay news day
I woke up this morning to the news that Amendment 1 had passed in North Carolina defining marriage as between a man and a woman and banning civil unions as well in that state.
The this evening I get the pleasant surprise of reading that the President of the United States, Barack Obama, who previously has said that marriage is between a man and a woman came around and said he now supports full marriage equality!
That is awesome and for a news day, especially a gay news day, so bipolar.
But as happy as I am about Obama changing his mind, I cannot help but think of this as a political move. The presidential candidates now are as far apart on civil rights issues as they possibly can. Romney the ultra conservative mormon, and Obama supporting marriage equality. I just find the timing curious.

Interviews
Within few months time I went from looking for interviews to being the one doing the interviewing. How crazy is that?
Life works in mysterious ways! And the shit storms end eventually. I'd like to offer more profound knowledge and words of wisdom but i'm gonna sound too out of this world (and not me), so I'll end it here.

Pay Day
Pay day is probably the happiest day of the month. It certainly is my favorite right now. The days following pay day can be dangerous. I may or may not have bought some new stuff, all needed I might add, to the cats, or for them. Was able to stay under 100 though...
Grocery store was bad too. Had a list that would have come up to about 20 euros...went just a tad bit overboard. But all of the things I came home with were on my endless list of things to get so basically I am just making that list smaller. I don't necessarily need to get ALL of them right away but it makes me happy. I haven't been able to get myself anything for the past 2 years so this is much needed retail therapy to get myself over the poorer times.
I was also able to reduce my debt to R2. He lent me the money to fly to Finland 2 years ago when I had to bring my broke ass home and he's been so patient with it. Good times!

Happy Labor day!
Open letter to the bicycle thief/thieves of Forssa
First of all...FUCK YOU!
Second of all...How dumb are you?
Third of all...SERIOUSLY?!?
So my bike got stolen today for the second time this year. The bike that has no chains, has no breaks and has no gears. It was stolen for the first time few months ago and was found few weeks ago. I even made an appointment to get it fixed. Thankfully I didn't spend that 250 euros yet.
Ybi went to the grocery store for an hour this morning and when he came back the bike was gone. It was chained to the bike rack that's on his yard. Last time it wasn't even locked but seriously, how dumb do you have to be to steal a bike that you can't ride? Like seriously? If I was to steal a bike, I'd make sure it works! And when I realize it doesn't, I'd ditch it. The bike was gone for few months last time and then returned to an alley near where it was stolen from. It took them weeks to realize that it wasn't working, nor would it work without it being fixed.
If you see this bike "hanging around" in a street corner or at somebody's yard, please notify me.

In other news, Brooklyn caught a bigger prey than ever before. He's such a smart little hunter
Anyway, hope you have a great labor day! Another paid holiday!

Do I see what I want to see or what is really there?
This being-the-only-lesbian-in-the-village business is hard (work). I don't know any other L/G/B people in Forssa, I see them but I don't know them. Once I opened my eyes and started looking, yes, they do in fact exist in this town. Now, though, I'm not sure if what I see is reality or if what I see is what I want to see. Does that make any sense?
Yesterday was once again "wear rain boots to work" day. A group of first year sustainable development students from HAMK came to Tammela to see different projects we've done during the years and I was their tour guide. Everyone knows that I'm an amazing public speaker so I wasn't worried at all... Anyway, we went to 4 different locations and I told them about 2 of them. There was about 15 of them and I am about 85% sure there was a lesbian couple in the group. And if they weren't a couple they definitely had feelings for each other. Always together, kind of leaning towards each other. Aww, young love.
