Ururumba!

If you and your friends are bored, there is a funny thing you could try. We did this in Finnish class: take as many computers as there is participants (paper and a pen go also). Then the leader of the game tells a word. It doesn't have to mean anything, our word was ururumba. Then everyone get some time to start a text: it can be anything, an article, a novel, a propaganda speech. Then everyone pick another computer and start to continue the text in that computer. And this recurs untill everyone are back at the same computer they started. And so they can end the text they have started.
   If you want some challenge, you can make up other things that you should also foist into the text (like own experience, something for a film or a book, idiom or figure of speech).
   Our text became hilarious: there were everything from pirate stories to articles and everything between them. Only limite was our imaginations.

Free food

This weekend has been luxury to the last grade students: there have been plenty of free food to abiturs. First, last Friday my senior high's parents' committee offered some free pizza to all students and after that we went to youth center to hang out and play things like billiard and Guitar Hero.
   Saturday we had extra school day (which included free lunch and coffee). We started in various workshops, I was in a dance workshop. In afternoon we had soiree, where parents were invited. There were some bit questionable numbers, like music workshop's song 'Sienimetsän soturit' (direct translation would be 'Warriors of spongeforest'), my workshop's dance performance, where everybody forgot movements and teacher's improvisation exercise 'hitchiker'. But I think they liked them, because everyone of them get loud applauses.
  Today local church offered a free lunch to all it's members, who turned 18 in this year. This is truly luxury to us penniless students.

Manic-depressive 'kakkiainen'

The little creatures in a forest are the salt of our play, Ronia, the Robber's Daughter. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere why are they call of. So I have to use their Finnish names.
   I have a double role as männiäinen and maahinen. Männiäinen is a little creepy creature, which is dangerous if you scare it. Maahinen (means usually a goblin) is a creature, which lives under ground and lure people.
   And of course there is other creatures too: ajatar (consist of words aika = time and -tar = ending, which express womanhood) is a bird with woman head, quite like a harpy. Kakkiainen is a simple little creature, which ask constantly 'why?' or 'what for' and repeat sayings of his fellow creatures. And I think they're manic-depressive. In a scene, which last a few minutes, kakkiainen can feel four emotions: curiousness, happy, sad and hate. Or maybe it's dissociative identity disorder. Who knows.

R.I.P. saltine box

A pudding

Like I told in my previous update, I'm started to practise to drive a car with my dad. And this evening I had three teaching assistant, who help to perfect my parking skills. May I introduce them:


First, there was Jacky Makupala -box. Jacky is a trade mark that contain several flavours of pudding.

A porridge

Second assistant was Elovena Hetki Pikapuuro -box (free translation would be Elovena Moment pikaporridge). Elovena makes also many other grain products.

Saltines

Third assistant was a box of Valitut (Chosens) -saltines. The saltine box was maybe the bravest of assistants: it stayed still even when it did little bit too close acquaintance with the left front wheel. Rest in peace.

Some driving

It's same time exciting and horrific to drive a car first time in your life. Yesterday evening I and my dad went to empty parking lot behind a local bar and started to exercise to my driving license. Dad has get a teaching license, so he can teach me by hiself. Be alert, pedestrians!
