cimorene↵ I've never petted a sheep! Even though we have lots of them in Pargas near Ängisbacka, where by 'we' I mean Finnish people who... live there, but they're not so, er, common (existant) this close to downtown Åbo.
↵ There should be more green velvet in the world. Like this.
↵ I am not my mother, and my kitchen is tiny, and I need to find a Channukah meal that doesn't require preparation in three or four separate dishes because scheduling won't permit it.

wax_jism will probably be in charge of it, because I don't feel up to the stress of deciding.
↵ Georgette Heyer slash that there should be more of: The Unknown Ajax, Richmond/Vincent
↵ My mom's and dad's extended families are both starting to question about whether I will be able to visit the US soon. "I don't know - will you be able to visit Finland soon?" seems like an unfair rejoinder, but seriously, as much as I would like to see them, several thousand euros don't just appear. That trip would cost more than the total amount we spend on the holidays every year, for example. More than we spend on books and DVDs in a year too. And it's not like I'd be willing to just stop buying books and DVDs to afford it, either. An aunt who had a hard time getting it together to visit Alabama from Kansas (11 hours by car) more than, what, three times in my entire childhood should have no trouble grasping these concerns. That's the total income, excluding the rent but not anything else, of several months.
