in finland we have thils old proverb “jos ei heilaa helluntaina, ei koko kesänä”
it basically translates to “if you don’t have a valentine on pentecost, you won’t have one the whole summer”
kinda depressing, yeah?
pentecost is today
it’s my 21st pentecost alone
and my 21st summer alone
where in the hell the girl for me is hiding
maybe she doesn’t even exist

tonight was good:
first drinking with lovely people, the party theme was saints
i was saint bibiana because one of her patronages is hangover
on our way home with my flatmate we went dumpster diving
and it’s summer and so warm at 4 am
and he carried this chair he wanted to take, for our living room
and i was walking behind him reading this very badly translated description of a horrible vhs tape we took
and we laughed
and birds singing
and the air smelled sweet
and i don’t know, i felt
good

am i drinking this whiskey straight up, alone at home - why yes, yes i am

In a note to Fitzgerald, Hemingway shows he was better at being aggressive than passive-aggressive.
