Corsetorium
Last Saturday was another #korsetti (corset) meeting. Before, we've met each other only in Helsinki, in a café or a restaurant, but this time one couple invited us to have a good time at their house in Forssa. That's around Tampere, meaning one-hour drive from Helsinki.
R, visiting Helsinki and on her way to Hämeenlinna, and me were lucky enough to hitch a ride from E on his air-conditioned (!!!) car, and the hundred or so kilometres flashed by while we talked about life, the universe and everything.
There were eight of us, and we had a wonderful time. All these people have a wicked (i. e. dirty) sense of humour and after the first few hours I'd laughed so much my jaws literally ached. I don't think that's ever happened before.
They fed us fajitas and maybe the best steaks I've ever eaten and we had so much fun. The host couple has a huge house in three storeys, with the basement acting as a personal museum for old china, farm tools, letters and everything imaginable.
Around ten I had to call it quits, because E's unending marvel stories starring himself had started to wear others pretty thin, and I convinced him it was time to go. E's a nice guy and all, but I'm not sure many people can put up with him for long.
R took a bus to Hämeenlinna, so on the way back it was just E and me. I kept him talking about WoW and we got along just fine. I was back at N's way after eleven, and I practically fell to bed. I'd been up and about for full twelve hours, and I'm sad to say that I've reached the age when that is my limit :P
A fun little fact. I've known all these people for a few years, and I can count the number of RL names I know with the fingers of one hand. That's the Internet for you, I guess.
