Oh yes. I need to own all the seasons, as soon as possible. I'm really rather proud of myself that I've been watching the show for 6 months already, and only bought the first season so far. I have this theory, that if I buy the seasons far enough apart, I'll enjoy the extras that much more, and it'll help me survive this whole no-show-during-the-summer-business. Though I heard someone say that you can only find the first three seasons in Finland. Like distributors were assuming that no one would be interested in it up here. If this is the case, I'm going to have be very annoyed with someone.
And then get on Amazon.
Heh, yeah. Our house reminds me a little bit of a bus station right now, with all the people running in and out >.< The excess relatives is nothing new though, we're sort of a... I don't know, a tribe more than a nuclear family over here. It's just that all the relatives currently here are teenagers. Harvest is the time all the older generation aunts, uncles and cousins send their young'uns over to us - whether the kids want to come or not :P Most seem to figure that a few weeks spent doing good, old fashioned manual labour will give the offspring some perspective.
I can't complain though. I would like to,believe me, but I can't. I've worked the harvest every summer since I was 12, and it took a good four years before I stopped being a whiny brat about it. For the ones that spend most of their time in the city, and know the countryside only as that fun place you go to relax and swim, they're suffering from some major culture shock. :P
Well, I've not made up my mind there; it would seem she's regressed to the teenage angst stage (despite being in her 20s), and that's rather annoying. Is she by any chance the youngest one? My baby sister is the youngest too, and she's always been the most childish of us. (And she's the one I lose my temper with the fastest.) She can still be incredibly bratty, eventhough our relationship has developed a lot the past few years. But you know, they say that something like 1/4 of all women in their 20's suffer from depression. So at least you know it's not that uncommon - and if the number holds true, then logically, she should get better with time.
