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 ( Read more... )
I swear I spent like a week trying to find any pictures of Aland's costume it was just a grrr inducing week.
...I envy you. (I should probably check out the Nordic Museam webpage)
Oh that's an awsome job! Yeah you can probably use some of the research you've done to write a banging dessertation.
(Damn 5 languages... crap over here is take a language for two years and hope you have a teacher that cares that you learn it. That pretty awsome. What languages are you learing or did you learn (well other than the obvious Swedish, and English)? I find each language has their own beauty. Icelandic has this beautiful rustic feeling and back of pallette (spelling that wrong) sound and how they smash together words to make perfect sense, while Danish some people think sound like a garbled potatoe has a rougher to the point sound, but it also sounds a little bit Mid Western American accent...that just maybe me though. Watch my observations are wrong and I should get my ears checked)
Seriously it's bad our sterotype, it's really sad. (A horned helmet would be definatly impractical during close quartered battle. DUH...Dang you nationlists trying to make it all bad ass looking) I definatly agree with you there. I think it also promotes a basic understanding of people to see their past beliefs and see all the common themes.
Maybe one day you'll take a computer class, or better yet befriend someone with awsome codeing skills, and then you can make your beautiful webpage with all the quotes and stories you want, and it shall be fabulous.
Oh look it got rescended in 1758...well you go the right to vote in regional elections again in 1862 while our first state didn't get the right to vote in regional elections until 1869... That's somewhat something.
The guy who made up that legend is so awsome. Seriously I bet he had the ladies digging his love of female heridal rights.
Now you got me quite interested in the background story of Blända, since usually those sort of, "campaigns," don't usually work.

Yes~ I would love it, I'm quite sure. Can't help but worry a bit about income and such though, I don't think it's a very sought after profession... =3=
(Well, I'm studying a linguistic alignment of upper secondary school, so I have two extra languages. 'S usually only Swedish, English, and from sixth grade and up a third language; Spanish, French or German. Now in upper secondary I still have to study Spanish, since I picked it in sixth grade, which sucks because I find it completely uninteresting. I will probably skip it the second year and read German the last instead so I still meet the language requirements. Other than that, I study Russian, and come this Autumn we'll all start Latin. :) I think all Germanic languages have an amazing ability to mash together new words by combining already existing ones. It's one reason I find Swedish poetry more fun than English. XP)
Mm. I like to say that if everybody got to study ethnology, we might just take a step closer to world peace. If there's anything I've learnt by studying folklore and traditional music, it's that people are fundamentally the same wherever you are. =3=
I can wish, yes... Because there's no way I'd take a computer class. Numbers scare me.
... Yay. xD And yes, it's a bit funny that way. I don't think people were very involved in the women's rights movement in the 1600s after all. XP
