apologies for the procrastination, but i guess ive been caught up in this reality tv show called life; seriously. comedy, drama, action; the past few days has had it all.
to begin with, how much trouble could one get into on a farm? well a lot, and one of the things i managed to do had quite a bit of the flavor of the show 'jackass' (which i love to watch so much). well sometime last week i was diligently lofting weeds into a wheel barrels when i managed to stab my own foot with the pitchfork...dont worry mom, didnt need stitches, but man it hurt like a b*tch! what was just as ironic was that i did it at the same time a woman from the state was here to monitor leena's dad's work safety! thankfully she was inside at the time and didnt here the shouting and profanities that came out when i stuck myself.
and i suppose i intentionally left out the following story of farmhouse hazing, but was somehow reminded of it this week. so, the first day of work here i put on the blue pair of dickies i just purchased from the thrift store before i left home. the perfect work pants right? hilariously leena says that they're too nice for work, so i think whatever, ok. the work pants she says are out in the barn, so i take a stroll out to the barn to put on 'work pants' and her dad sees me in my boxers and gives me this look like "what the hell are you doing? dumbass american" and smiles while leena is laughing (thanks tyttö, really).
well iäm being called upon to make lunch. midsummer holiday today, guests and stuff. the sun has been setting at about 10pm but twilight now until about 1am and supposed to be longer tonight. its cool, but hard to sleep in.
