Oh god I think I remember that stuff. My grandpa made me eat it... Then I'd hide it under my tongue and my grandma would let me spit it out later. I only have bad memories of it because my grandpa let it sit around for waaaaay too long, then somehow thought it was just the right time to eat it. I dunno if I can repair my image of salted liquorice ever again.

"You know, it's not random that we're walking just by the two of us and the others are elsewhere. We wanted to have some private time to talk," Agan told me while Ka smiled apologetically. I rolled my eyes at her and commented: "Sorry to have ruined your secret romantic walk then." I did not part company with them and all the three of us walked together to our new apartment where the others were waiting for us.

How many people were you planning on fitting into that apartment?

Y'know, that's not too far off really. She's been slowly convincing me to move to Finland, and I think it's working a bit. Before I was in a limbo deciding whether I liked Norway, Sweden or Argentina more, but hmmm. She's a convincing travel agent, but I'd only do it to hang out with you bunch all the time, plus I'm rather tired and bored with the US.

Though, I'd never live in Paris. I only want to die there.

You're dream was amazing my dear, simply ab fab.

I don't know what kind of salted liquorice your grandpa has fed you, but it's lovely, really. At least in Finland.
I made Kath, tgwbs and Mith try it when I met them in London (we found a shop which sold all kinds of foreign candy, Finnish salted liquorice included) and at least Kath and tgwbs didn't find it that bad (or then they were just polite ).
I can buy you some when you come to Finland, or bring with me if I meet you somewhere outside Finland. You don't have to eat it if you don't want to, though.

I thought this dream was too small to post as this is about the only part I remember of it, but since I'm posting here now anyway, I can write it, too.
Last night I had a dream Rune went through a cosmetic surgery because he wanted to look like Paris Hilton. He then posted a photo of himself on the Downs and everybody agreed that the result was very Paris Hilton-like.

I'm guessing you ran out of smilies by this tome in your post.

The dream didn't amuse me so much that I would have needed smilies.
Mainly because imagining Rune as a girl is such an everyday thing for me.

though.

.

It wasn't unpleasant at all but tasted slightly medicinal (though I am not sure I can judge accurately since I had a bad ENT infection at the time and nothing tasted quite right). I think it is just a strange idea to have salty sweets.

I dreamt last night that Gwathagor kept following me around. He was wearing a black fedora and was in hunters attire (he looked very much like Theodore Roosevelt). When I confronted him he jumped into some bushes and started whispering, "You can't see me, you can't see me." I finally got tired of him following me around and confronted him a second time, but this time he started waving his new found gun and doing his best impersination of Mr. Heston's famous words: "From my cold dead hands."

There are many other wierd things that happened in the dream but only one other part conscerns the Downers. In the dream I went to a Country Music concert, but it soon turned into a cage fight between Chuck Norris versus Rune and Legate. Rune kept got beaten to a pulp after shouting, "For the mother land!" and Legate kept on whimpering and trying to get out of the ring. After the fight we all watched Chuck Norris bench-press a C-5 Galaxy.

I'm afraid I must not make a very good impression here on the Downs.
