Awww, dammit.

Missed an appointment at uni today.

Not a big huge one, but I'd agreed with the teacher myself on this particular day and time, and well - I completely forgot about it. I was so sure it would be tomorrow morning. So guess my surprise when I checked my calendar just a couple of hours ago.

Oops, I suppose.

But in any case, even if I had remembered that the appointment was for this morning, there wasn't a hell of a lot I could've done about it, as I was spending the weekend at RMATS's summer cabin & his parents place.
The cabin stint was very nice indeed, it's on a small island, so we got on a tiny motorboat, vroom, splish, splash and we were there. It's a beautiful place, and they've opted to keep the cabin sans electricity, so there's a fireplace in the middle of the room and all.

Nowadays the nights are dark again, so after lying in the sauna and skinnydipping in the too-damn-cold sea water, we sat outside and lit a few big candles, and could see similar small fires on other islands and on the coast of the mainland and and yeah. All nice and pretty and romantic and whatnot.

And now it's back to reality and organising studies and doing stuff. Pfft.
My prac starts in a week. I don't really really know what the hell I'll be doing, but hey, I'm sure things will somehow clear themselves up, and I'll come up with brilliant workshop plans on issues like equality or refugees or human rights etc.

To infinity, and beyarr!

Tharr be pirates..!

And I be the last to see them, yarr, tis a sad fate!

Meaning that tomorrow RMATS and I will finally go see the second installment to the Pirates of the Caribbean family, now that everybody else has already seen it.

But the lateness is ok, we're making up for it by having a pirate theme night then - we'll both be dressed up as pirates (we even made ourselves some leather wrist cuffs and eye-patches today), then we'll go raid the town and escape with our booty (Chinese take-away), head back to our secret hiding place, and start celebrating and drinking rum (&coke).

Yes, we're cool like that. We're going on a pirate date.

Other than that life's pretty much same old. Got back from the parental units this weekend, and now I'm spending my days avoiding study. I even went to the library, so I have books at home I can avoid reading.
Oh, and we did some re-organising of this flat of ours, and spent too much money on new stuff, but it all looks cool, and the place is a bit more homely again.

Can't think of anything else for the moment, so till later and yarr that.

I just don't have anything to rant about.

That must be the reason for my lack of posting. When in Spain, there was always something worth mentioning, on how things/people refused to work and so on.

But back in Finland and Freezerville, what's supposed to have worked, has worked - including me! But now my stint at the day-care centre is over, and thus I spend my days waiting for my paycheck to arrive. Aaany day now.

Also what's been happening, a couple of weeks back we organised a friends hens-night (which involved all sorts of fun, nudity, and fun nudity!), and then on Saturday she got married. Both of them looked absolutely adorable and twas a fun wedding indeed.

Then come Sunday RMATS and I headed off towards the south of Finland to raid the fridge of our parents for a week. On our way we picked up two of my cousins kids, so we looked quite like a typical family unit - though both of us perhaps a wee bit young to have 7&8 year old kiddies...

Anywho, we're here now, and that's about it I suppose.

Yarr!
