Barrow-Down Dreams

[Volo]

I had a dream that Rune wrote about moving to Finland for work in livejournal. He said he got a job in the district where my school is. He wrote it all in such a neutral tone that I was disappointed and didn't know if Rune even remembered that there are Downers in Helsinki. I tried to ask Rune using messenger if we could meet any day. By mistake I sent the message to a friend who is not even (maybe) listed in my messenger contacts. She answered with something like "I'm not a member of the Barrow-Downs".

So, Rune, confess!

I am not moving to Finland, but I will confess that I had a lovely time when visited Helsinki. . .

I am thinking about going abroad (studying), but unless I want to take care of everything my self then I will have to chose between Poland, Germany and England.

England would be my nr. 1 choise.

So yeah no work in Finland for me, but maybe I will drop by again soon.

I think I had a dream with Hookbill in it. At least at the moment when I was almost awake, my subconscious told me that he was somewhere in my dream.

Well, my subconscious controlling device is only in its parliamentary stages so... I mean, this has nothing to do with me and it was just a strange dream...

I think I got away with that...

I had a weird dream featuring Rikae and Mac again. I really don't know why, but they seem to get to my weirdest dreams.

In the dream I was talking with Mac and Agan in MSN. Mac wanted to send us a love song he and Rikae had made and sung to each other. I think it was pretty awwww-worthy so I told him to go on and send it. Rikae and Mac both sang pretty well, especially Mac who was a professional singer in the dream. So, when I first listened to the song I thought it was quite nice and cute. But the song didn't sem to stop. It just went on and on. After 6 or 7 minutes I started wondering if there was any polite way of saying I don't want to listen to it anymore. Right then Mac said: "Oh, listen, now comes the Spanish part." They both sang a few lines in Spanish and Mac complained that he really can't pronounce Spanish. I said that as far as I knew, he was doing fine.

I had also another dream where I was visiting Rikae's house. (Mac and Nogrod were also there.) Rikae lived in a big manor and she had a few servants of her own. We had a lavish dinner and I and Rikae talked about literature. I also ended up giving a lecture about the differences of what it means if a Finn says something's good and if an American says something's good. (Because Rikae thought I hated Margaret Atwood, who was her favourite author, because I had said I think her books are "quite good".)

PS.

Oh dear! We can take a hint.

Manor? Servants? *ocl* Well, if by that you mean "tiny two bedroom house with the roof in desperate need of repair" and "three girls under the age of 8 smearing mud on the doorknobs", then yeah...
Margaret Atwood? I haven't read her in quite a while (actually, I covertly read my mother's copy of 'The Handmaid's Tale' when I was 8 or 9, until mom found out and took it away.) My favorite author at the moment is probably Virgina Woolf.... I just hope that doesn't influence people's subconscious impressions of me in Volo's game!
So, what DOES a Finn mean when she says something's good? And what does an American mean, for that matter?

According to what I said in my dream, if a Finn says something's good s/he thinks it's good, but if an American says something's good, s/he actually doesn't like it so much, for if s/he really liked it, s/he'd say it's awesome or that s/he loves it... I'm not at all if this is so in RL but that's what I seemed to think in my dream.
