it was a silly, regrettable idea, I would get cold and wet and miserable

You marry a Finn and complain about that, what the heck did they expect

We aren't married so he still has a chance! Anyway, lying face-down in snow isn't among my weirdest ideas, at least going by Icelandic standards: just this neighbourhood wait until I get me a pair of cross country skiis (no one here skiis except downhill) or that tent sauna I've been planning on buying...

Naah, you have to be a total butt to manage that, if weird behaviour alone got you on it half the country would be there every year (more about Áramótaskaupið here). Btw I'll use this chance to randomly plop my all time favourite Áramótaskaup end song here, which is also the cheesiest one ever and includes Páll Óskar.

is train stations announcing how high up they are a normal thing or a norway thing
I'm pretty sure that wherever the altitude is a point in attracting tourists, it'll start getting mentioned right at every conceivable point of arrival, but otherwise, not that I ever noticed, no.

Then again, Swiss train stations are famous for doubling as currency exchanges, so a national tradition is a definite possibility.

for those of you who are interested in the latest updates in the headboard based face cancer saga: the bruise on my face finally purpled
It's not actually that noticeable compared to how much it hurts so methinks I did in fact bruise the orbital socket bone

I lose fights all the time with doors, doorframes, and corners of drawers. I don't even know how I manage it half the time.

Ooh, don't forget the corners of window frames! There are sloping walls in my bedroom with skylights, and when I sit underneath them, I always whack my head on the corners.

The equivalent for me would be undersides of desks. Every time I need to reach an outlet or something tucked away under/behind a desk I end up whacking my head.

ok so!! if you've talked to me at all in the past couple of days you'd know that i have gotten my wisdom teeth out! all four at once. (to those who have talked to me and had to put up with my complaining: i'm so sorry)

i wasn't THAT loopy on the anaesthesia but the pain meds did throw me a little off and i did some funky things? i was definitely. slightly confused. as i was waking up the nurse asked me if i wanted to keep my teeth and in my foggy state i thought she meant the teeth in my mouth at that exact moment so of course i said yes.
well
today i see this little white bag on my table?? i go to pick it up because what's this!! it's small and cute!! is this Anime Merch i should be putting on my computer?
Spoiler: kiinda icky • show

nO IT'S NOT!! I REPEAT!! IT IS NOT!! IT IS FOUR BLOODY GOREY TEETH WITH DRIED BLOOD AND ICK ON THEM AND I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT AT ALL

I don't know what I'm going to use these for? Am I just going to keep them for reference?? what kidn of reference would I need these for? somebody said I should clean them and have them made into jewelry or something but that's a Little Weird >_>
YEET
