Rage-Norway Syndrome aka Weekend in J-town

Last week I decided I wanted to go visit my very good friend S in her hometown Jyväskylä. I packed my stuff and hopped on a train. I had planned to drink some wine,  relax, gossip with my girl, get my hair done, go to a snowboard movie premi (KBR), and just take it easy over the weekend. Oh boy was I wrong!

 

On Friday night I got there round 10 PM. S and I drank some wine and had some tapas at her place, got ready and headed out. I was wearing thick black tights, minishorts, a large blue jean shirt, and a wide red belt, S highwaisted jeans and a really cute top with safety pins printed on it. When we left to go to Bra I already didn’t feel well. My stomach was acting crazy. Within 30 minutes of being there I think, I got really tired and I threw up. I was so embarrassed but S and our other friend got me coffee and suddenly I felt perfectly fine again. I don’t remember what happened, I was sleeping I guess. Really weird and SO mortifying. As I started feeling like myself again we decided to head to Ruma to see some other friends. I really like that place. It looks like one of the dive bars in Denver. I felt like I was at home for a second.

We stayed until closing and went back to S’ pad. My stomach still felt rumbly but I felt normal again, like myself.

 

Saturday morning we needed to get up, get hairdye for me and tickets to the KBR meets you-premi. I was up bright and early feeling great and showered while S slept. Just before 1 PM we started discussing going. S had a stomach ache too but I felt perfectly fine… Until I was supposed to get up. I felt like I was going to die and my legs wouldn’t carry my weight. I forced myself up and we went and ate. I had to sit for a while but I started feeling much better again. By the time we got back I felt better but S was in real bad shape.

 

She took a nap, I made pizza. At around 5 PM she got sick, with 4h left til the premiere. She was so good and really wanted to go so she got up and forced herself to get ready. We got to the movie a little late but we made it. S was wearing a hat, shorts and a beige shirt. She was really cute. I was wearing Cheap Monday jeans, Vans hightops, a CTRL shirt I LOVE

and a Makia hoodie with buttons I bought at Hullut Päivät last time.

 

The movie was good and I really liked it. It got me really pumped for this winter. After we went to Amarillo to have some drinks and meet up with some friends. S started feeling so bad we left and went back. I didn’t mind, I was there to spend time with her.

 

On Sunday I felt bad again and S was feeling sick still. We got my butt on the train and I had to meet with the moms at Pasila coz I was afraid of taking the bus.

 

So here I am on Monday, feeling like crap and having to work the nightshift until Friday. I’ll try my best starting tomorrow, but I’m so distracted I have no idea what to wear to the Boardexpo-festivities. I bought a hoodie from Flawless but I don’t think it’ll get here on time, and my budget is now REALLY limited. I feel like a dufus, I’m tired, cranky and look like poo (apart from my hair). And I have no idea what to wear this weekend.

 

This is NOT starting well.
