S.A.D

You guys ever heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder? Or SAD for short? I think I have that affliction. Here’s an entry about it from Wikipedia.  In case you’re too lazy to read it…Another term for SAD is winter depression. When you find winter depressing, probably because of the bland lighting, the cold and the short period of sunlight.

It is summer now, but it has been raining very often. I don’t see or feel the sun too much. The light is there, but a very dim sunlight. It reminds me a lot of winter and I do not like it!

I was highly irritable during the winter, and my temper flared. In Hero’s case, I was also more…uhm…uh…emotional. Ehem. He had to suddenly deal with an insane girlfriend that would cry at the drop of a hat. He could swat a mosquito and I would be crying buckets over his “heartless person”. Not that that ever happened, of course. But it could. We’ll see this winter.

Matti was strangely talkative today. Generally he doesn’t talk at all. He just exists and is present physically. I found out that Finnish people usually don’t talk unless they have to.

I had a lot of things on my mind. Eventually I became irritated at all the incoherent noise, I told him to shut up.

Matti: *disbelief* What?

Me: Shut up! For a minute. I’m trying to think.

Matti: The hell is wrong with you? You haven’t said more than 10 words today!

Me: The hell is wrong with you? You have said more than 10 words today!

Matti: *snigger* Must be the lack of sex. Go to Cairns and see him. Come back a nicer person.

Me: Must be the rare occurrence of sex, or you wouldn’t be this noisy. Who’s the unlucky girl?

Matti: Vittu! (ßthat’s a suomi swear word)

Me: Or man? *gasp* Oooh, Matti! I didn’t know you swing that way!

Matti: Vittu!

Me: Oh, go bury your head in your smelly socks, will you?

Matti: *stunned silence* *laughed* Is that some sort of Malaysian swear phrase or something?

Me: It’s better than “pussy in winter and dicks in spring”! What the hell did you drink? You’re too talkative today. SHUT UP! Who are you? Give me the old, boring Matti back! Begone, Satan! Begone! Leave this body! Ung ga ga!

Matti: *laughs*

I want summer back. RIGHT NOW.

“Bury your head in your smelly socks” is not a Malaysian swear phrase. It was created on top of my head, because I don’t swear anatomically unless I’m so angry. And look! I totally just invented the phrase “swear anatomically” too! Am I cool or what? Boo yah!

There is a suomi swear phrases that when translated literally means, “pussy in the winter and dicks in spring”. Or something along that line. I can’t remember clearly. When I first found out the literal meaning, I laughed so hard I cried!
