Girl Power!


It must have been almost two months ago when I started writing a post titled like this one (though I never managed to finish and publish it). That was the day a very dear friend of mine, Marsu moved back to our flat and another flatmate of mine, Kari left for New Zealand. Since then, a lot has happened and many merry occasions have brighten up my life. And now it's nearly over: Within a week Marsu will be back in Kouvola where she's studying.

Like the whole spring, these two months have flown by without even noticing it and now are our days of girl domination are almost gone. I will be going back to the same old - living with two blokes. Though Kari won't be back until 10th of May so I still have almost a month period of tranquillity left :)

So beside the fact Marsu is a girl, what is so special about living with her? Well, first of all, we go way back. We met the very first year I started Uni and I actually recall her from the first party. We have also had a blast in Italy (though the weather was trying hard enough to destroy the vacation) and then later in Helsinki when living together in Töölönkatu. A year and a half ago she moved to Kouvola to become a renovator but still she has dropped by every now and then.

I'm not saying it is not nice to live with Kari and Tapio (the other flatmate of mine) but it's completely different to share a flat with someone you know so well...Especially when you're growing old and grumpy like me and would prefer to do things your own way ;D Also, when it comes to living with Marsu I just love all those lazy mornings we have spent beside our kitchen table playing tavla. I'm gonna miss that a lot!

Well, at least I am no longer sharing a flat with three guys :) That's one thing I should be grateful for...So now I'm just waiting Marsu to make a comeback...Or me to get my own flat.
