plan of attack, get my self a date. oh wait, not one, but TWO
today, lunch and dinner. interesting thing is both of them are
Brits. hey, where are all the cute Finns hiding? c'mon, don't be
shy!
oh yeah, those words. well, I was going for "operation loverboy"
but didn't know what loverboy is in finnish. rakastajapoika? (but
not poikarakastaja because i think that means pedophile :P). so
anyways, reporting back. a really cute finn asked me for lunch at
the last minute and i couldn't say no, so i postponed lunch with
brit guy 1 to tomorrow. too bad he's already taken though,
sigh.
@cybette Rakastaja is a
good choise if you want to have a lover. Rakastajapoika doesn't
sound so good. But if you're looking for something more casual(?) a
"heila" could be good term. Heila is something like a date, but
taken slightly more light minded, (heilastelu/dating,
heilastella/to date). I think that's a good word, it has a positive
and fun connotation.
@kapu lol, mutta... sinulla
on jo tyttöystävä? ;) @virbana kiitos! joo, "heila" on
parempi valinta. Mutta en tiedä "heila"-sana aikaisemmin (before
this?)
@cybette: Just "thinging
game" of possibilities if I shoudnt have gf ;) ... Olet mielestäni
oppinut todella nopeasti kirjoittamaan suomea. Juurihan sinä
aloitit opinnot. Miten puhuttu suomenkieli sujuu ?
Kiitos kehuista! Joo, minä aloitin opinnot viime vuonna, kuusi
kuukautta Dallasissa, ja neljä kuukautta Suomessa tänä vuonna.
Mun suomen puhekieli on huono :P
@dst: paljon kiitoksia, you
flatter me :) i am just fascinated by the language. people often
ask me why i bother learning finnish since i don't really need it
to survive here, but it's not about whether it's practical or
useful... for e.g. i pursue music not because i will get some
"practical use" out of it in terms of for example helping my
career, but just simply because i like it.
thanks @krazykritter
:) back to the operation status, dinner with Brit guy 2 was nice,
great catching up with him (he doesn't live here actually). Boy can
he talk, and fast, and a lot, and he said he was tired. It's ok to
have moments of silence you know. Maybe that's one reason i'm drawn
to the finns, i am very comfortable with silence.
@overpills i think
we'll get along just fine :) with a few drinks and the unspoken
understanding about the need for shoes... (pretty much the only
saving grace of my geekness that reminds me i'm still a girl
sometimes). @bogart it's only
day one! and it's a work day. cut me some slack, will ya? :P
@cybette: I think I might
have told this one before, but this one English guy came over for
five months and all he could say in Finnish by the time he was
leaving was "R-kioski, nopeaa ja mukavaa on asiointi". Also my
Swedish PhD mate pretty much just gave up on Finnish.
Ok, Carol, now I'm really proud of you! Nopeaa toimintaa
tämä sinun kielenopiskelusi. Ja aloitit vielä
pikadeittailun. My, my, what have we here, an industrious
young lady! Indeed, my friend, I hope all the bricks will fall in
place in your life.
discussing language and dating don't conflict. Language was one
of the most frequent topic my $ex discussed with me when we were
dating. Maybe we both were screwed.:P
most of my ex-es only spoke english (or some english and
chinese) and were not interested in linguistics. there was one who
also knew tagalog but grew up in the US so spoke mainly english
anyway. i just think it'll be interesting to date someone whose
first language is not english or chinese :)
@matiasm why? are the
swedish-speaking finns cuter? ;) @bugabundo well i may not
necessarily know more but i can be just as enthusiastic about
technology as a "geekguy". it's more about the passion than the
knowledge!
who what me huh? 0:-) hmm, operaatio fellaatio has a nice ring
to it ;) but, mission on standby tonight. need to go home and help
my dad review a presentation and speech that he's going to give
tomorrow.
@cybette: Erm, the
Chinese studies were put on hold about 6 months ago, remember? I
was having issues with my focus and memory (getting thickheaded by
the age :P and don't remember the words) and the non-committing
(lax) way the class was taught.
Well, Carol, presently I'm focusing on finding my identity by
getting new experiences (expanding my horizons) and developing a
sense of "pop" fashion of my own. @whiteg is onto something when she
referred me to the (shaky) concept of male lesbianism. ;)
Jarkko, good luck with your endeavor and look forward to seeing
the fruits of your labour :) as for love, that's true, but i've
crashed and burned too many times, so we'll see...
You go girl! Before I decided to commit, I did that too ;) All
though, I do have to admit I would think to myself, "What the heck
am I doing?" if I liked the guy on the second date way more than
the first. The guilt effect did come into play a little, so I'm
just warning you ;)
It started as a group date: me, Miss washing machine and Mr
laundry. Mr laundry showed up all dirty and stuff, and threw
himself all over me. I was a bit disgusted, so I threw him to Miss
washing machine, and she showed him a good time spinning and
vibrating. It might have been fun for them, but I got bored after a
while and left to get some food. When I came back, they were both
very quiet, probably exhausted. Ms washing machine had already
fallen asleep, while Mr laundry was limp and damp from their
previous activities, although he seemed to want more. So I took him
to the drying room, just the two of us this time, and there was
much heat in that room, and he started getting excited again,
flapping around. But I decided to leave him hanging ;)
@kevanv dishes? mmm...
warm water, soap bubbles, rubbing against each other... you bet!
@chelx yeah i like to make
people see things from different perspectives ;) @hirvinen and i do that about once a
week! lol...
