Translated Folktales and Legends from Sweden
Ethnology is a big interest of mine and therefore it happens that I translate some tales that suit my fancy when I'm feeling a bit bored, or upon request. Since they have grown in amount over time I thought I could just as well make a post collecting the links to all of them in one place ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I seem to have this problem where I, as soon as I neglect posting anything here, don't post anything again until months later. The December Talking Meme was supposed to prevent that, but obviously that didn't work. To the people whose questions I never got around to answering: I'm really sorry! It had nothing to do with you ( Read more... ) -
December Talking Meme - Day 9: Fave feelgood film/tv
Going back to Stockholm tomorrow over Christmas. Been a bit weirdly... not full of anticipation, but definitely preparing for it all week, fretting over what to do with the food in the fridge I can't eat up on time, thinking about what to pack... it takes up a lot of space in my mind. It's gonna be nice to go home and be able to relax for a bit. ( Read more... ) -
December Talking Meme - Day 8: Three Playlists
Since I'm so far behind I thought a shorter post was in order!
So without further ado: three-ish 8tracks playlists I've been listening to lately and why I like them.

December Talking Meme - Day 7: A Love Spell
Went shopping for Christmas presents today and still haven't found enough. Not to mention I haven't shipped any of the ones that needs to be mailed internationally. I am the worst at Christmas shopping, especially since I managed to talk myself into buying one for myself before finishing anyone else's (and paid by using PayPal for the first time.

December Talking Meme - Day 6: Favourite Companions
I have internet in Uppsala!
The internet-free weekend was pretty hectic without any distractions-- looked for Christmas presents in town on saturday before gf went with me back to Uppsala. Most of yesterday was spent cooking and baking (look at these nerdy gingerbread cookies we made!. But I had fun. Yesterday I went to Kalmar nation's choir's ( Read more... ) -
A Minor Obstacle
Have fallen even more behind on the Talking Meme, as my laptop decide to update to Windows 8.1 without my consent and I lost internet access. Mum managed to restore it, but I'm not sure I'll have it in Uppsala (am in Stockholm rn, there's no wi-fi in the dorm, you have to plug the Ethernet cable directly into the wall ( Read more... ) -
December Talking Meme - Day 5
dhampyresa asked: Are there any figures you've come across in your studies that you think are lgbt, for any reason?I love this question, but it's also... surprisingly difficult to answer? I think this has to do with the material, in more ways than one; with fictional characters there's a comprehensive narrative and inside perspective, while historical ( Read more... ) -
December Talking Meme - Day 4: What was your first fandom? Are you still involved with it?
Watch me do the December Talking Meme and fall behind after two days! In my defense, last week was super-intense; I had an exam and two hand-ins on friday and spent all week studying for that, spent most of the weekend baking and being with friends from the corridor, and yesterday I read in the library for hours and cleaned my room in the afternoon ( Read more... ) -
December Talking Meme - Day 2: Letters to the Dead
Today, I made bean stroganoff with mashed potatoes (good), had a foot bath (v good), started reading The Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley (good so far) and have studied much less than I should have for the exam on friday (not very good at all). At least I'll finish the hand-ins on time. Being able to memorise the 140 artworks we're supposed ( Read more... )
