nah just me who needed a translation bc my reading comprehension wandered off

Aww I got all excited for a second there ;)

To add my 2 cents, I can also relate to the frustration of people liking the idea of you rather than the real you.

that's very true. It's just... so offensive when people's idea of 'you' is SO DIFFERENT from who you actually are, and you just want people to like you for who you are as a person but they get it so wrong
...ok so maybe i harbour a lot of bitterness from my old schools
I think it depends on the situation, but I kind of find it fun to pretend to be things I'm not around strangers. One of my best friends and I used to go out to things wearing rather coordinated outfits (as in, the day before I'd be like "i'm wearing a red dress, what color is your tie going to be?") and we're pretty close so we tend to whisper conspiratorially a lot and sometimes I fix his hair or whatever, so I'm pretty sure a lot of people (at our school and elsewhere) probably got the idea that we were dating even though both of us are gay and I ended up setting him up with his current boyfriend. But, I don't know, it's like knowing a big secret nobody else knows.

Hyup I got a quiet moment, time to forum! We slept horribly on horrible ikea bunk beds with bendy metal grate bottom that squeaked like a bucket of distressed mice if you moved as much as a finger. Now we're going to spend the rest of the time in sovsal so air mattresses it is.

On bad news my armour took some damage on the way to Sweden, but on good news I made it so sturdy that aside of some marks and scratches it's totally salvageable. Tomorrow's a pre-judging day, stage show is the day after, breathing exercises until then. :D

We also found time to hit an exotic H&M (Iceland has none) and soon it's time for exotic McDonald's food (Iceland has none)(wish there were more food options but alas, it's either that or con hotdogs).

As for how drunken passagers are allowed onboard, as long as you're on your legs and seem calm they'll let you board. :P

Å vise interesse i folk man ikke kjenner,
Er ganske vanlig at folk gjør,
Men når folk viser interesse for noen de ikke i det hele tatt kjenner
Er det sjelden fordi de ser for seg et engasjert langtidsforhold med personen
Og hvis de sier de gjør det så lurer de seg selv
Etter min erfaring

*twirls teaspoon*

o_O all the truth in such short sentences.

Pfffft, isn't armor supposed to have marks and scratches on it? That's how you know it's good!

When my friend from Iceland came to visit me, I took her to the mall and she spent all day in H&M and Forever 21. I also took her to Target, and her recipt ended up being several meters long :P

To some extent. If there's a big gash in the armor one might start to wonder.

that sounds really fun! I, on the other hand, get super anxious about people 'interpreting' me wrong for some reason. which is pretty much why I'm never very secretive about anything ever

Are you implying there are GOOD Taco Bells because I'm pretty sure that's impossible...

HAH, we don't have a single one of those here in Norway. We acknowledge your vastly superior civilization. Or your dire predicament, if that's more appropriate.

I wonder if Keflavik Air Base has anything to do with it.

Entirely possible, and btw Iceland also has one Baptist church! Just one though, located near where the US soldiers used to live.

Space, I'ld wager. Possibly with ground underneath that discourages putting buildings other than the mother of all saunas on it. ;)
