Gummies

Happiness is when you share your life with people who love different things, so you never have to share.

The tools

There are people who can't improvise, and there are people who can only improvise. You're meant to cover up each others' differences.

Sounds of Sleep

This is 100% based on a true incident, btw. Have you ever had someone you just met casually go "anyway you want a kitten?" and pull one out of his pocket, and you don't even question the dream logic before you wake up?

The Preorders are open!

The second album is now ready for preorder! I'm announcing it here a bit before the official launch, and I got you a promo code for 10% off! The code is filpatreonoctober and it's valid until the 15th, so just this week or so!

Shopping

Ever spent two hours at a shop looking for something specific, when you clearly could have just asked?

Pumpkin

It's october! I'm a huge fan of all things autumn, though in Finland "all things autumn" looks a bit different, pumpkins aren't a native crop (it's funny, in finnish zucchini is called "summer pumpkin", and I wondered for the longest time why that is, before I learned that the round gourd pumpkins are referred to as "winter pumpkin". Or alternatively, "winter zucchini" alternative to "summer zucchini", they're the same word).

 I ended up cutting the pumpkin open, carving out the se...

Even Trades

You ever remember that you can literally just ask for things you want and need?

Getting By

This is a regular conversation we sometimes have.

The Performance

You ever heard a baby that sounded like it was just testing out what random sounds they could make?

Mood Swings

It’s not healthy to rely exclusively on others for emotional regulation, but it’s good to have someone who’ll give you a hand when you can’t help yourself.

Customer Service

I’ve never worked in customer service, but seeing the anxious and skittish new workers tells me everything I need to know about it.

Airsoft

Based on a real incident - it turns out being fired at scares the living hell out of me.

Old People

I mean, someone has to keep an eye on them, right?

Geese

I’m fond of geese. They’re stupid, aggressive, full of wrath and completely unspologetic about it. A goose is incapable of shame, embarrassment or remorse - they don’t hold back, it’s full goose mode 24/7. Marvelous.

Crying

I’m a big advocate of frivolous crying. There are stress hormones in tears, it’s your body’s way of balancing the extra hormones. If you’re crying about something, it means you’re feeling more about it than your body can contain, and it’s wonderful to care about things so much, and good to let it out.

Flea Market Detective

Keeping a flea market table is a nice way to get rid of clutter and stuff you no longer want, but I always wonder what kind of conclusions people draw from our tables.

Solid Logic

Based on an actual conversation we had about an actual conversation he had.

If It Looks Stupid...

...but it works, it’s not stupid.

That has been my motto in life for a long time. I’ve had to improvise most of it, since I couldn’t follow exact instructions to save my life. That’s why I never managed to finish getting a proper formal education.

I’ve now almost figured out how to file my taxes correctly, and once I’ve managed to report everything according to the law, I’m financially independent (largely thanks to you!)! I’ve worked in storages ...

The Big Day

This is 100% a conversation we had. My boyfriend had a vague but certain feeling that this wednesday is somehow important, but neither of us could find anything in our calendars to warrant the feeling. The search was very thorough but we couldn’t find any plausible reason why he vaguely recalled this wednesday being important.

Neither of us wrote down the exact date of when we started dating, only vaguely remembering that it was autumn. So in the end we decided to agree that ...

Customer Service

People who have never worked in customer service how low the bar for ”you’re the rudest/dumbest person I’ve ever met” can be.

The Harvest

If you know anyone with a garden, you know about being offered the whole harvest as a love language.

Love Languages

It’s funny how people take different things as different actions, isn’t it?

Nausea

You know how some people have really sensitive stomachs, and others can eat pretty much anything?

Morning coffee

Now thst I’m back to school and Blue works saturdays, morning coffee together has only become a sunday thing, though just as precious.

The Box

It’s always good to have a spare, even if you’ll never need it.

Material things

We’re trying to cut back on stuff we own right now - trying to fit the stuff of two people into a smaller, more compact living space - but one item we’ve bought on purpose was a white bowl with a strawberry pattern on it, where we keep our keys. And it sparks so much joy.

Magic

I’ve been going through my apartment on a quest to declutter, and I found five pairs of sunglasses, been replacing them at the same pace as I’ve been losing them.

Work smells

Junkyards smell bad, especially in the summer.

Horns

Fun fact: we do, as a matter fact, own bulls’s horn battlehorns.

Camping

This is somewhat misleading; in reality we didn’t even find the right spot for a tent.
