"I FUCK LIKE A BEAST."
Or so Ville's shirt said at New Year's. One can certainly hope it's not just the name of a W.A.S.P. song. Let's just start this thing, shall we?
To begin with, we all know I was supposed to leave for Finland on Thursday night, right? That didn't happen. Long story short, I missed my plane due to the insanity that is holiday traffic of both the vehicular and mass transit kind. Cue me being absolutely hysterical at the airport while my dad tried to figure out a way for me to get on the plane. The folks at Scandinavian Airlines took pity on me and transferred my flight to one that left the next evening, all without charging me a dime. For this, I thank them muchly. I couldn't bear to go back home so I booked me and my dad into a motel across the way for the night. Money I'll never get back but, by that point, I was throwing the shit away. I eventually calmed down enough to function and was amazed at my ability. See, 2 years ago, I probably would've went into that motel bathroom and slit my wrists; those of you who know me know that's not an exageration. I was damned near ecstatic with how I was able to rebound from such a blow as that's what normal people do, but something I haven't done in so long. I've become stronger than I thought and I'm happy about that. I still could've done without missing my flight! May this shit never happen again. Talked to Kate aka sisterxmisery and she calmed my fears about missing a whole day in Suomi; let me know that Sarah aka seethrulingerie was going to be taking the train up from Helsinki to Tampere the same day I landed so, all would be good. Originally, Jane aka 616poisongirl was going to meet me the day I was supposed to land...
Me and the pops loitered around the airport the next day since motel check out was noon and my flight didn't leave 'til nigh on 6pm. I picked up my trust earplugs and grabbed some lunch and magazines before it was finally time for me to check my luggage. I love SAS. They give kick ass food and always have good movies, lol. I didn't sleep more than a restless hour on the whole flight to Sweden and almost missed my connection flight. Cue me running from one end of the airport to the other! Landed in Helsinki and it was literally like a breath of fresh, wintry air! Finland is home, dudes. Caught the bus to the train station, threw my shit in a locker, and hot-footed to pick up my Helldone ticket. LOL. I thought I was gonna get lost! Little did I know that fair Suomi would welcome me back like a prodigal daughter and allow me to find my way to and fro with ease! Scored my ticket, picked up chocolates at Stockmann's (♥), bought Route 69, headed back to train station. I'd called Sarah earlier to let her know that I'd wait for her at the station and to call me when she got there so we could train up together. Umm, I don't know what happened but we never did meet up that day. :( I kept trying to call her back with no answer so...yeah, wtf? *shrug* But I'm not a girl who waits for people in a situation like that and, after 2 hrs of doing everything I had to in Hel, I got my Tampere ticket and caught the next train.
My phone was dying so I turned it off and tried to nap, leaving Kate to think I'd miss the train, lol. She didn't meet me at the Tampere train station but gave me good enough directions that I was able to find the local Hesburger on my own. *grin* We met and squealed and she drunkenly escorted me to Amadeus where Laura was waiting! *sigh* Ahhh, it felt so good to have my first Lonkero since July. Jane came by and explained the inanity of the invisible smoking line, Kate spazzed over random Australians, Laura was her fabulously wise self, then we bounced to eat and pick up Marcus and Em. Oh, the drama that was Marcus and Em! *facepalm* Though they were cute together! And, randomly, I love how shark week starts the fucking minute I get to the hostel. Grrr. We showered/changed/got pretty before heading over to Klubi to see Bitch so sweet (don't ask me how awful), To/Die/For (sweet baby jesus, I have video!) and Entwine (who I later missed).
The smoking in Klubi was out of hand and I was already in pain so, I wasn't the happiest of campers. Funny how beautiful men and amazing music can make you feel that much better! There was so much pretty in that bar that...ummm, yeah. HI! "Money and glitter is coming out!" Lmao. And don't get me started on TDF because holy mary, mother of god, I just about imploded when they took the stage. Josey, call me! :-P There's something about a hot, Finnish man rocking out while playing the bass that really makes my ovaries do a happy dance. Emma and Marcus had a major falling out, I took a cab back to the hostel before Entwine came on, and the gang eventually came back to random Russians trying to get into our room. O_O Then Marcus bounced with Emma's shit. *facepalm* It was about 4am at that point, I think... The 4am rule!
We "woke" up the next morning or more, slithered out of bed like hobos, to check out and catch the train to Helsinki. Wtf is up with those sandwiches, dude? Ugh! We amused the Finns next to us with our random perving thanks to Jane's awesome cell phone. So...so much perving. I think we would've been embarrassed had we been fully awake, lol. "My cock is so goth, it's got wings!" *dead* I love those girls so hardcore. Got to Hel and watched some relationship jousting which isn't as fun as it sounds, believe me. Took a cab to the hostel where, after I grabbed some foodstuff at the local K market plus, we were "in bed with the dead". Rotflmao! It was time to blast some HIM after we woke, to get us in the mood for the nights activities! I have to say that we looked absolutely killer. Fucking fierce in the extreme, thank ya very much.
I laughed so hard at our little plastic Helldone passes. Dude, they were so homemade it was ridiculous. Where did all my ticket money go?!?! "To the bar!" Booze, booze, and Laura showed up. Jenna and Sarah were there too as they'd decided against the ride to Tampere and had been at Helldone the whole 3 days. Discovered a fantastic band called "Katatonia" as well as one called "Sara". Saw Tarzan and was frightened; don't ask. And apparently was grabbing random asses. Ohhhhhhhhhh kay, then. >_> It was a mad rush for the New Year's countdown and HIM were...well, I don't know what they were. They weren't their best, that's for sure, and Ville was so drunk he kept forgetting chunks of words. But I couldn't find it in me to be all that upset about it because I was there, seeing HIM, with some awesome friends, and Ville was so fucking happy. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger grin though that could be due to the fact that he "fucks like a beast", moohaha! Someone needs to shave him in his sleep... The whole thing was so intense that I teared up several times and me and Kate had to hold hands for support. The whole thing was beautiful and worth every minute of stress I'd endured to get there. I can only hope that next year is even better. You know, that Ville actually sings an entire song. Rotflmao. Why do I ♥ him so?
Some random knickers wound up in the middle of the floor and I hate to think who they belonged to. Could've been the rough girl at the bar making out with that hapless Finn; who knows? Met a friend of Liv, Jane, and Kate who's name is Petri and, whoa, can I have some of that? I told him to hit me up when he comes to NY again...>_> Can't remember if I met Greg at this point or what but I knew who he was the next night, lol. Kate started breaking shit like the rockstar she is. I saw Oliver but no Kat von D, Charlie (no comment), Pasi (tasty), and Jyrki. The Jyrki thing was funny! After I'd smuggled out a Koff cup from the club, we made our way to find pizza and Mr. 69 himself was walking past us on his cell or something. I was drunk and braindead at the point so I was like, "hey! I know you from somewhere! I just can't remember where!" *facepalm* It wasn't that I couldn't remember, people. It's just that I was utterly muffed. :-P We passed on going to Inferno and instead proceeded to devour our pizza back at the hostel before knocking the fuck out. The next day was lather/rinse/repeat.
We did the majority of packing before we headed out for the night. You know, after waking up at 2pm and watching ski jumping for a couple of hours. *grin* Hung out at Bar Loose for houuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurs gettin' wrecked with Laura, Kalle, Greg, Lynn, etc. Once again, an old Finnish guy tried to mack to me. Wtf, that only happens to me at Loose?!? Hahaha! I had to pee so bad I went in the boy's bathroom without knowing it until I was squating in the stall, and I hear a guy come in, unzip his pants, and get to work. O_O Oy. I like to plan for these things! The bar had to close but we needed Jaeger Batteries so, on to Corner it was! "Octopussy!" Didn't spend to long there before saying goodbye to Greg and Laura, going back to the hostel with Kalle in tow. >_> Yeahhhhhhhhhhh. "If anything rude happens, I'm gonna kill you!" "You look like one of the guys from Uniklubi!" There was bs-ing and cuddling 'til 5am when I had to leave. :( Packed my shit and hopped in a cab to catch the airport shuttle bus. Apparently, Vantaa airport still hasn't figured a way to make the line go faster. Drinking and not sleeping left me so tired I literally couldn't see straight but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Rock the fuck on! I love my friends...
"Goddamn!"
Btw, Jane! Please add Juha to my list and let me know who else is already on it. :-P

Good times!
View from the table; what do I want more? Greg or Lonkero? Moohaha!

Gals, gals, gals. Money and glitter is coming out.

Aww, we're so cute!

I'm so buzzed, lol.
Almost midnight...
We will rape your men and eat your children! Mita?
LONKERO!
Let that be all for now! Actual gig pics and videos manana. Peace.
