So here's the deal. We had an announcement on the paper today. 2-3 rooms + kitchen for two young ladies in Helsinki. Well, I've been on the phone most of the day, tried to sound very sophisticated (yes, I have a job � as if) and reliable rental. And now we have already one place booked for us. We have over two weeks to think about it. Tomorrow I'll go see three different places, same as Wednesday. Then I'm luckily out of Helsinki for 10 days.

OK. I don't know if I'll have two or three appointments tomorrow. I mean, this middle-aged man called. He told about the place, it sounded good, he asked something about us, I told (and didn't even lie very badly), things like "we don't smoke, we are wise, polite, beautiful, smart women" etc. And then he asks if I could describe us a little. I was like what?!? He said that I told we're beautiful, that's why. You know what I did? I said it straight: "If you think that you could get rent from us in any other form than money, you're sadly wrong". Then he was like oh no, that's not what he meant. I tried to apologize saying that once I had few men calling me like that. Then he said he'd call me tomorrow around noon to make sure if he shows me the place or not.

There are two problems. If I go there, do I go alone? I could take a friend with me. But what if none of them makes it? So do I go alone?
OR if he really didn't mean it, how uncomfortable will it be trying to be professional while remembering what we discussed tonight about? I don't admit making a fool out of myself!

I guess I just have to wait and see if he calls and then make up my mind. I know I won't be afraid even if I should be. But should I? Going into strange apartment with stranger... But then again, you have to have little faith on people.

But then again I checked his number and it's probably not even secret but Telia Prepaid, which means you buy a number and some time to talk from it. Like 100-$ or so. It's impossible to find out who's the holder of the number because you can buy it anonymous. Do I have to add it's very popular among hookers and criminals?

I know I'm making too much out of this� I guess. Maybe he doesn't even call me back.

Funny what you think about your environment. I mean friend whose place I'm staying at lives almost downtown. Or actually this is downtown. And yet I don't feel a bit uncomfortable moving around in here. One day, actually that one when Pixie and Fanatic visited Helsinki on their way home from Stockholm and Nick, there was a man lying in front of our outer door. So I just told girls we'd use another door. And last week one night I came home there were polices arresting one man. I just walked by. And then I wonder if I can move here or there because it's bad neighborhood. I know what is really bad neighborhood and in Helsinki there's barely few of those. Or then I'm just a crazy girl who walks out there in the middle of the night without seeing a threat hanging on her.

Hey. Has anyone of you (few visitors on my site) read Mia � Cara yet? I'd really appreciate feedback of it. I'll go update it right now� But you won't get more before filling out my fine (or not) feedback-form!!!
