Wow, Fancy-Schmancy

Current source of amusement: The Simpsons
 
Oooh the post page got fancier. It kinda threw me a loop, but hey. Whateve.
 
Anyways, I went babysitting for the Frampton's today. Several comments were made about a friend that I hang out with, and something to the effect of "Well at least *insert name here* will be here still when you get home" was said. I defended my position, but I don't think I was taken seriously. Why is everyone over 30 like that? They just kind of assume things, and then take the time to ask, but don't listen to you anyways. Go figure. Anyways, I ended up baking today due to the extreme boredom I was experiencing. Hence I'm Biscuittus the Biscuit Goddess. I make biscuits and scones and pie crust like you wouldn't fucking believe.  I can't believe how much I'd like to be working right now. There's nothing to do at home right now, I can't really pack more, and I should be doing some more learning of the Finnish, but I dunno. It's getting harder and more confusing. It doesn't seem to follow any sort of pattern yet, and that's kind of confusing. Although it's kinda cool. They conjugate the negative when you say "I am not, you are not, he/she/it is not" it's "en olen, et ole, ei on" which is neat. That and making something plural "bank-banks" is confusing. pankki turns to pankkit, but a couple things are different, and then there's the vowel gradation, and the consonant changes, and wheee it just gets confusing. But hey, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. It's cool. I enjoy it.
