I probably won't do this every day, but it sounds interesting.

Day 01 - your favorite songThis is a toughie. I have lots of favourite songs. Far too many to choose just one from (kinda like XF episodes, in that regard), so I'll choose my favourite song today. Rather appropriately, it's Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, the Welsh national anthem. We're ( Read more... )

The Welsh national anthem sounds really cool! And very stirringly performed by the choir in that video, too.

Also, as a linguist, I must tell you it brings me great pleasure to hear Welsh being spoken. It has such awesome sounds and a beautiful cadence to it.

It is! It's even better when it's being sung by a stadium full of rugby fans!

Have you heard much Welsh being spoken or just bits and pieces? I know I'm biased, but I love the sound of it.

Excellent answer! I would love to do that, too.

I thought you would!

That sounds really nice. Do you ever plan on getting Mulder and Scully's faces as a tattoo, or is that too cheesy?

It is. I love it, and I've had so many comments about it from people as well. I'm really looking forward to being able to finish it.

I wouldn't get any portraits on me. Words and pictures are fine, but I'm not a fan of getting people's names or images so Mulder and Scully's faces is a definite no!

Love the tattoos!

Have you been to Hay-on-Wye? I've wanted to visit for years. I've been to the UK twice, but have not made it to Wales yet. Someday! Your description of your homeland is so lovely.

I love Hay! I live about 60 miles away, and two of my close friends live 8 miles outside the town so I'm there quite often. You really should visit if you get the chance, and if you're able to make it to the literature festival you definitely should go. And if you're ever in Wales give me a shout!

LJ's comment notification sucks! I'm just now reading this.

Oh, lucky you, living so close! The festival is on my Life List, so someday I will be there and when I do eventually make it out there I will definitely give you a heads-up.

No worries!

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky where I live - I'm close to lots of cool things. Definitely give me a heads up when you get there =)
