I almost called a coworker "Emil" today. I have no idea why, his name is Carl and he's nothing like Emil (as far as I know. He could be a pyromaniac outside of office hours...)

When you've accidentally called your sister 'Tuuri' so many times she actually responds to it like her own name.

When you are playing Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and your latest game session boils down to this:
City Hall lady: Your next step in the excuse plot is to furnish a hospital, café and store.
Real life you: I liked furnishing the school and it unlocked a few nice things, maybe I'll do the hospital today.
Private citizen: Hi, you'll unlock the "Nordic Style" line of furniture if you decorate my house instead.
Real life you: That town can wait an extra day to get its hospital, I think...

When you end up doing the following things on a four-day trip to Reykjavík:
* Buy a small candle holder with a rune on it on your first day.
* You don't care about any books that aren't about runes, and even among those that are about runes, only care about the magic-oriented one.
* Your travel companions go on an outside of town tour, you go get a closer look to that coast guard ship you spotted in the harbor on a previous walk. Optional: You're probably their only tourist ever to think they should sell coast guard ship souvenirs.
* You have to talk yourself out of buying an Iclenadic sheepdog figurine because it looks like Reynir's dog.

Oh, oh, I have another one!

When you recognise an Icelandic rune from researching what Reynir might use for a fanfiction, buy a charm in the shape of it from a jewellry store and wear it every day for the two months since you got it.

When you turn your computer on with the purpose of checking what the TVTropes community cooked up for the recap page of the penultimate Game Of Thrones episode, yet the first thing you do is check the comic in case it updated early.
