I have failed countless times to update this blog, and I have a feeling no one really reads anymore. However, since this was where I started writing it always feels most comforting to return to write short bit about my life here
I was browsing today this article where a number of individuals had submitted pictures or scans of their teenage diaries. I have hardly graduated out of teenhood myself; once a very interesting character told me that you don't truly stop being a teen until you've passed 25 years of age. Sometimes not even then. Yet I can't help but look at (the now hidden) entries that used to chronicle my life in secondary school and then in junior college. I was a very different person then, and yet, not so.
As I write this now, I am waiting for myself to fall asleep, for the memories in my head to die down so I may just tumble into a nice dreamless sleep.
Yet sleep evades me, as it naturally does when you need to wake mere hours later for the most important task of school. It feels so new all over again, because people just come and go and come back again.
But enough of my rambling, I should really try to at least close my eyes and lay down, and hope that eventually sleep will take me.
To all those people who left my life, I miss you. You know who you are

way cool!
ok. the weirdest thing happened just as i published the last post. really cool, though.
why din i say earlier? well, its my official sauna day and i was also cooking porridge and i was whisked off to the sauna.
but what happened exactly. well, when i published my blog last it was 2 hrs aft school. i hardly knew anyone. and as i published it, i got a call through isoäiti's phone. this guy was on the phone. said he was from my class. i didn't even know who he was. and he asked me out for dinner with the rest of the grp. well, how can i refuse? so isoäiti said yes, and we arranged to meet in front to macs at 7 pm.
weird. that someone would actually FIND your telephone number though you don't have one listed and ask the the school teacher if there is any way of contacting you after a half an hour session at school. weird. i was kinda scared.
so at 7 i went with säsä to the place. we met with this other exchange student from Germany, Mitya the guy who called me, and two other guys. then we headed to this sushi place. yea. so when we arrived, we waited for Nadya, this girl who sat next to me in class. and one other guy who apparently, is always late. so well. it was kinda funny. they were way cool and asked many questions and tried to make me feel comfy. the food was so expensive!! anyways, the waitress looked at us funny when we said we were ordering one plate for seven ppl. yep. one. you do the math. it cost around 25 euros. and the plate had arnd 7 diff sushi on it. it came with one plate of rice and one bowl of miso soup. the service was bad though, it took like, 40 min before our plate arrived. and i taught them how to use chopsticks. haha. the funny thing was, most of them had never had sushi. or were too small when they last had it to remember. so we took a long time to order. and also, some of them were afraid to put it in their mouth before the rest of us did. funny. we laughed alot. and they were wondering what sushi was what. my japan hour watching definitely came in handy. i successfully identified all the sushi types. thank you to äiti for the lovely coaching.
well, we went next to this coffee house down the street. and we chatted there and waited for the last girl to arrive. some had coffee and pie. and we laughed. again. loads.
and the last part right. its the coolest. they suggested we go to this place down the road. to play games. at first i thought it was an arcade. but they said it was some other place to hang. so anyways, we went there and it was this place with sofas and tables and board games. card. *ahem* but no gambling allowed. to apparently, ppl can buy anything that there is there. the tables, the mats, the tv, the books on the shelves, the games, the paintings on the wall, heck, even the wallpaper was game. but the cool thing was the place it self. black metal. heavy rock music. and the 'experimental music'. haha. private joke, sorry. so anyways, everything was 'experimental'. even the paintings. it was dark. and ppl kept walking in and out. it was like the convention for goth. our group was the total odd one out. every one else that walked in was dressed in black leather, sported black hair, most of the time a mohawk. they had multiple piercings, shrieked at the top of their voices, black eyeliner, heavy make up. way cool. but we kept to ourselves, thank you very much. they were surprised to hear that i din play cards. hehe. as in real card games. and well, nadya and the other girl settled at chess. and the rest of us hung out, chatted, and played this board game that makes no sense whatsoever. but it was fun. at 10 i decided to ask what time were they planning to leave, so they said at 12 midnite. isoäiti had already called, so i walked home ferz. said byebye. haha. way cool.
had loadsa fun tonite. but well, gotta settle back to normal routine. was new and way cool. i really should stop saying that. its as if i lack vocabulary. i don't. just that i'm kinda overwhelmed.
sauna was fun. yea. now i have to sleep. or i'll be up all night in front of the ol black box. nitenite to all. till next time,
marlz
