As a special treat i am going to introduce you to the wonders of Kirsty/Ilkka texting. Fell free to psychoanalyse us to your hearts content. Essentially though, I'm wet - he's dry. my additional comments are in brackets.
Text 1 (from me)monday evening.
''miss you SO MUCH! had a picnic somewhere nice with Darran and Sarah yet it was nothing compared to coming home to you ,
(if Darran or Sarah are reading this - that was an exagerration in the name of romance y'all AND the vain hope that some sentiment would be returned) Hope alls' well, wearing your t shirt. Love you x''
reply:
''Yeah its all good. I slept most of the flight but im still in need of a good nights sleep
(wow ilkka thrill me thrill me thrill me) weathers good, not too hot just perfect
(you've been in britain too long. contrary to popular belief we are NOT fascinated by the weather.) Love you x
(i said that already! 1 point though.)''
my reply to THAT (feeling communicative.)
''Perfect timing, i was just on my way to bed
(as in, getting a text from you before bed is sooooooo romantique). Woke up with a wasp in the room this morning, had to leap out of bed screaming so quite tired also!
(witty anecdote, right?) x goodnight Ilkka, hope i see you in my dreams.
(i know. im a desperate woman.)''
no reply. day two. (tuesday - today)
me:
''went out with anna. she's bored of photography that doesnt have a social conscience
(anna, if YOU'RE reading this, sorry - im reducing to soundbytes here!) and feels fed up with london too
(as above). love you x
(standardly)''
2 mins later, me again:
''And its beautful weather. i bought some roll ups and im about to make....a salad. ha ha youre coming home to a model baby
(sic: i am a neurotic twat who lives to make you feel good about yourself. baby.).''
reply:
'Safe.
(^%&%£££$!!!!!! safe? SAFE????SAFE????? i find this deeply insulting.It was much warmer today.
(so fucking what? is it a competition? shut up about the weather.)beleive it or not we havent been to any bars. WE GOT SAUNA!
(ok, finland i get it sauna is the best thing that could ever happen to you, you never want to be anywhere ever again where there is no sauna it is torture etcetc.)Tomorrow im off to malaga to skate and film with whoevers up for it
(again, a deeply non-thrilling slice of information there that most importantly has nothing to do with me.) Love you x
(that's more of a head-nod in my direction than anything else and dont think i dont know it.)''
my reply:
''ok im jealous. well done. im sure you are having 1000x better time than i am. im watching how to look good naked
(stupid show where fashionable gay man hawks up ugly women to look like fashionable gay men)for fucks sake.
(i am frustrated. you are on holiday and im not. you better start being a bit more frigging romantic, wilko, or i am going to kill myself and you can have fun coming home to my stinking corpse swaying in the living room. yeah, i would do that to spite you HA! HA!)''
i will keep you posted on the romantic text front. lucky for me ilkka would not give one iota of a shit to look at my blurg while he's away. boo hoo hoo!
