Heh, yeah, I've already decided that if I do end up in Copenhagen for some reason, I'll try to do the same. I will likely need to go there to do genealogical research, but I'm guessing that will have to wait until I'm retired. :-)

When a new life dream of yours is to visit a nordic country.
When your main concern during the day is "when is F5?".
When all the cats you see are suddenly "Derp kitty!"
When you develop (somehow) an even stronger love of old books.
When your reaction to bad hair days is "I look like a bum".
When face-smashing is an acceptable way to bid someone goodnight.
When any vertical shadow anywhere is a source of stress.

(I know most of these have already been said, but I just really, really, really relate to some of them.)

"No, that's a murderghost absorbing the soul of a beast horse" is a text that you can send with no sarcasm or exaggeration whatsoever.

(My friend thought it was two trolls fighting each other.)

You see the word "mutineer" in a story you're reading, and end up doing a double take because no that's wrong! ...only wait a minute, no, that actually is the right word.

You used to not care if the wifi went out on a weeknight. Why would you need wifi on a weeknight anyways? Now, this happens:

Yeah, I totally check my phone when I wake up in the middle of the night now. So annoying, I have to stop doing that.

You find yourself wasting your morning subjecting fictional characters to the Dark Personality Quiz. (Mikkel scores rather high for Machiavellianism).

.... when you mishear your own country's cheering (for football) and you hear people chanting "Lalli! Lalli!!..." (originally it is "Olé! Olé!...")

And now I'm seeing our crew squaring off against a team of trolls, drawn from the ones they've met so far....

...when you greet unknown grey-ish cats by "hi Lalli! :))"
...when you see a book called 'all cats are autistic' and you think of Lalli immediately
...when you squee 'eee' when excited like Tuuri even though you never did that before
...when you say 'Emil' and 'Mikkel' instead of 'Sweden' and 'Denmark'
...when you know the word for 'kitty' in all Nordic languages
