>>Thirteen days.

Packed some more of my clothes, most of the remaining ones, into a large suitcase. Have been thinking about which books to take and which to leave. There won't be much time over the weekend because of RopeCon (http://www.ropecon.fi/2008/I18N/118N), but I'll probably start stacking the books on Sunday evening.

>>Beginning countdown. Fourteen days.

In two weeks (two fucking weeks!) I'll pile my stuff in the family car and initiate the moving process. We're leaving on Wednesday, to spend the night at the summer house and then to continue on our way to Oulu on Thursday morning. Parental units will stay for a day or two to help me settle down. Then I'll be on my own.
Feeling anxious on decidedly shortening intervals. Breathe, man, breathe...

Tonight, I'll be packing some of my clothes - as much as I can fit into one bag.

28 degrees Celsius in the shadow. Working in the heat is almost as bad as working in the rain... *melts into a puddle*

I hate hate hate hate hate writer's block that pops up when you least need it.
Trin, you may kick me. Repeatedly. I'll send what I have of the fic in a message, which fortunately is most of it, but I'm afraid the rest will have to wait some more. I'm sorry. ;____; You may give me a penalty. Or something.

I'm being dragged off to grandpa's until Friday. So no Lami on zeh interwebs again for a couple of days. After that, however, I should mostly stay put.

Will be away again tomorrow; first taking care of some shopping and delivering my appliance papers for student support to KELA, then off to Hyvinkää to see Laura who is visiting her mother there. Back some time Tuesday.
Trin: I've almost completely outlined the plot for the soirée now, all I've got to do is write it out. I'll have it posted on Tuesday evening. This be a promise. Srsly. Lagged enough already. Also, I swear I'll have Harry's birthday fic actually on time. I've had an idea for it for a while now. :P

Update at Coal black wings, should anyone be interested. :P

Anyone able to identify this one?

I hath returned!
...and once again, the effort to catch up with things will have to be remarkable. Sigh. Forums, here I come.

My love to all of you! (Especially le Skurpists.)
Net cafés are zeh best. The place is open tomorrow as well, so I may or may not be here in the afternoon. If not, I'll see you peoples Sunday night.
<3

I be off now. Back sometime Sunday evening.
Take care, hold the fort! *huggles people*

Often, I wonder what the heck made me like Jukka in the first place. He's an arrogant bastard who drives me up the wall if I spend too much time with him. But this comment... this, here, reminds me exactly why I love him.

*Huggles*

You'll do fine in Oulu. Remember, you got in. Therefore, you were better than a crapload of other people. Also, you'll be on the same lectures with dozens of other troubled introverts (it takes a strange turn of mind to apply for English philology). You should be able to make new friends there.

Muh.
It's confirmed, now - the results from the Tampere uni entrance exams were published online, and Jukka is among those who were accepted. This means that I will be starting in Oulu alone, since he's made it clear that if he gets to Tampere, he'll take the place. He even has an apartment ready and waiting, inheritance from some relative or another.
I didn't think it would bother me quite this much, since I'd been preparing to be on my own from the start. So, unexpectedly, I find myself feeling just the slightest bit lonely right at the moment.

Off to my cousin's. I'll be back Friday afternoon at the latest. :3

Waking up to a cramp in your calf is Not Fun.

Paid the deposit for the apartment. We're visiting Oulu next week while at the summer house (they're reasonably close), so I'll go to the office with my uni acceptance letter and presumably get to sign the contract. The actual move is probably going to happen around mid-August - we'll see. I yet again realised that I'm going to have a ton of things to take care of before that, and it's making me restless. Gnahgnah. Must accomplish stuff this week. Am temporarily quite poor (74€ left) because of the deposit (250€), but as fortune should have it, payday is next Tuesday, so there will be no reason to despair. Have started gathering dishes, and brought a few boxes from the storage. Next I'll start thinking on which books to take with me. Most of them, I suppose...

For Trin, who threw a metaphorical gauntlet at the Poetry Discussion page. Somehow, when I tried simple, I ended up with a haiku. Most probably because there is no room for long flowy words. As for the second one... Eh. It's weird and fractured and dealing with a personal phobia. Possibly not even poem-like enough. I don't know if you'll accept these, but eh, I tried. xD May attempt more later.

Dial.
Press the damn button.
Press it.
Walk from one end of the room
to the other.
Shove words out - it's not that hard.
Honestly.
Over before you know it.
Cut the connection,
breathe out. In. Out.
You lie: Next time will be easier.
Sit down.
Breathe.
Quiet.

I has apartment offer from Oulu o_O It'd be a 15m² room in a so-called cell. 200€ for the rent and electricity.
So, today I should call there, as well as my cousin (about going to their place this week), and my employer (about needing next week off, and about quitting halfway through August).
I hate making phone calls. >_<;;

Gah. Cliffhangers are evil. I'll have to wait till Thursday to see what happens... Must distract self somehow >_<
Oh well, knowing me, I'll be over the initial anxiousness by the morning. As a matter of fact, sleep is sounding a better idea by the minute.
Also, my chair is annoying the heck outta me.
