omg the trampolines

Hahah, weird coincidence. :D Although the reason it looks familiar is probably because all trampolines of this size look like this one over here, there's only a few models available in the whole country (because Iceland is tiny).
haha yeah we've got the same type of trampoline everywhere around here, too. they're very visible if you're in the tv tower pizzeria, or if you're landing with a plane. when flying from prague (back in the days when there were still direct routes praha-trondheim, SIGHS) czechs would always exclaim "SO MANY TRAMPOLINES??"
which
is funny
because whenever I flew to czech, all the norwegians would be surprised at "SO MANY POOLS??"


in a similar vein, i think southern norway is struggling with floods and stuff lately. so that's........ fun
you'll know where to find me.

Nope, it's a bit like how people in Finland get a big surprise every year that ice is actually slippery, who would have thought! :D

People in the southern US not only forget that each year too, but also have the delusion that 4-wheel drive is a decisive advantage.  (We lose our trampolines to tornadoes, though.)

ahahaha this is what I do at lunch
Internal dialogue:
"You have to eat something, Noodly"
"hnnnggghhh don't wanna"
"ok FINE. We're eating a peanut-butter-graham-cracker for lunch, and it's YOUR FAULT."
"hey, what if we add a whole bunch of leftover potatoes and this banana?"
*facepalm*

In other news, school was supposed to start today, but the teachers are on strike. :/

Hahaha I do the same. I'm currently debating whether or not chips & salsa is a valid lunch.

Salsa is kind of nutritious I suppose. Chips though? Well, they used to be potatoes so....

What about tortilla chips? They're... wheat or something.

As far as nutrients go that's probably only marginally better than salted, oily cardboard. Still, salsa is a good thing (both in taste and healthiness), and salsa goes well with chips, so

Whole grains and healthful vegetables -- it's totally valid!

It's a tastier alternative to bread and plain vegetables :D I might even throw some cheese on the chips and turn it into nachos - grains, vegetables, and dairy!

Oh my gosh, the guy sitting next to me in class right now noticed my SSSS computer background and was like, "Hey, I read that comic! I love it!"
...HI FRIEND!

*Discretely changes background to SSSS art*
Although a good question is: why wasn't it SSSS art already?
:usa: Yes.
:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.
:vaticancity: Probably remember five words.
