I think two things tell the very soul of who you are...

My sister and I once had a discussion how was the best way to see a person for who they, " really are". My sister thinks you can tell a person by looking in their glove compartment or their bed room if they don't have a car.

Since after that discussion for some reason I've been dying to take pictures of my bedroom (unfortunatly I don't have a glove

I've actually wanted to do this for a LONG time myself, but it's like... My room is never in its "natural state". xD Like right now, it's almost perfect, except I have a canvas of Venice and British WWII propaganda I haven't been able to put up yet... :c

[letthemhavepie]

Oh my I haven't talked to you in a while! (I'm such a horrible person) But with this post I defintly need to

'S okay! I haven't really been around anyway, I think. Just writing pointless entries.

I wish I could get a new camera (this one pretty much sucks unless you're out in broad daylight) but alas, we're saving money right now. And it's not like it's somehow urgent... I just want to take better photos.

I bought it at the Imperial War Museum in London. X3 It's one of those "Careless Talk Costs Lives" ones; this one, to be more exact. I thought it was cute. :3 Except for that one, I only have the classical Swedish WWII poster over my bed... And some stuff completely unrelated to any war

Nah, but I like reading your pointless entries. (Actually some aren't really pointless, you have good points). I mean I'm always so nervous to post stuff in my journal, none the less my research stuff. I always feel like if I get it wrong people will judge me hard. (Plus it's always hard to tell what's fact from fiction these days)
All your folklore posts and history posts keep me entertained, especially since they are from a point of veiw from someone of the area which they originate.

A camera wasn't on the top of my list but my sister got the family camera stolen. So for 6 months we were cameraless, and I wanted one in college so I can take pictures of the new people I will meet. (...so my sister can creep on them...)Aww the posters are cute! I love the double meaning of the tiger one. As you can see I have a bunch of other stuff in my bedroom(from Erté to the Pre-Raphealite brotherhood...to random things on the net

I feel that way when posting to communities... But it's pretty much worn off by now when it comes to making entries in my journal. I think you should give it a go. You could always post a disclaimer. XD Plus it could become an opportunity for other people to clarify or add things to the topic. And it's always rewarding when people show their appreciation, or ask questions. :3

Yeah I just tend to get a tad paranoid. I should do it some time! I think I'll probably do one on different national costumes of the nordics countries/areas (cause Norway loves their different bunads) and how they evolved to their current state.
Cause I totally don't have a wee little obession with national dress

I think my next entry is going to be some sewing stuff I've done but unfortunatly it shows my face. (Not that I'm ugly persay...but I don't know strangers)

I had to take an art history class and fell even more in love with art. (Too bad I have no artistic skills) I mean when I was young I loved it because my mother had a bunch of coffee table books with famous art works but I really got to understand the different movements and how to tell what art is from what period.
(In college I have to take an art history course for my intended minor and I'm so excited to take it...It's sad the I'm more excited to go to college for the courses instead of the parties)

Ohhh what do you want to be?
(sorry I'm very nosy)I bet if you put

Sometimes looking for Swedish folk costumes feels like trying to find a needle in a haystack. At least, finding decent photos and descriptions of them from all parts of the countries. Thank God I live in Stockholm and the Nordic Museum provides some at least

[letthemhavepie]

Yeah it is sometimes like that, sometimes like the only picture from a region I can find is on a stamp and well that isn't very detailed, and some regions are more supportative of wearing traditional outfits during festivals and such

[taiyou_to_tsuki]

The Nordic Museum does have an online textile archive that you can search through. Has to be in Swedish though
