Helsinki university's english dept held a poetry competition last month, and
I entered.. and it looks like I won it.
I heard it off the cuff from someone who thought I already knew, made me
wobbly for a second. I'm still pretty wobbly actually. I've never entered
let alone won a poetry contest before.
there will be information about it on the university webpage, but knowing
their techs it won't be for a while. here's a link the the poem that did it.

people have been congratulating me on facebook all damn day, it makes me
feel.. I suppose grateful & flattered, but really it's just a little feeling
of confusion or disquiet. for no reason I can really pinpoint. is there some
condition known as post-victory depression? haha. I'm chuffed, anyway.
