Hello world!

[mummimamma]

Name: Mummimamma

Age: In 14 days I'll be 42. I expect all the answers to the life, universe and everything will revealed to me.

Location: Normally Bergen, Norway, but for the next couple of weeks I'm in Athens (the one with the Acropolis)

Languages: My journaling is in English. I read all Scandinavian languages, Greek, and reasonable French and German as well. And Latin - in case anyone is writing in Latin I'd *love* to read it.

Describe yourself in 5 sentences or less:
Norwegian linguist (hence all the languages) who thinks all evils can be solved with enough tea (preferably Assam) and a long leisurely breakfast.
I love reading, talking and thinking about things.
I am extrovert, and sometimes I feel like minority on the net.
I also love chocolate and running slowly (and then eating more chocolate. And drinking beer)

Top 5 fandoms:
I'm a venerate lurker in several fandoms
Harry Potter was the first one, which I'm currently having a fling with.
I occasionally participate in the Bujold fandoms Vorkosiverse and Five Gods.
Also I think I am falling out of love with Sherlock.
And I love meta - is that a fandom?

I mostly post about:
Myself! (it's my journal after all).
I try to keep some kind of booklog and academic work log as well

My last 3 posts were about:
Two entries about getting installed in Athens and the last one about a dream I had and my forays on Greek Tinder

How often do you post:
So far in 2017 I have posted 21 times, so a little more than once per week. Although sometimes there are several post in one week, and some weeks I don't post at all. I'm trying to write more regularly though.

How about commenting:
I try to comment regularly, at least if I have something to say.

Thinking is good I've been told! I tend to think with my mouth, which isn't always as good (also, according to the woman whom I'm sharing and office with currently, very annoying)

It sounds like you've been doing quite a lot of Norway-sightseeing! Although I'm drawing a bit of a blank on Balestrand - what were you doing there? Not that it's not nice, but...
I've actually never gone dog-sledding. But I do burn a lot of candles. How do other people survive winter without candles?

Balestrand: that was just a couple of days doing really nothing at all except enjoy the scenery, before getting on the boat to Bergen. :-) I remember lots of fruit trees, wild flowers and pretty wooden houses, and taking dinner in the (very old-fashioned) hotel because there wasn't really anywhere else to go. That was a few years ago, so perhaps it's really cosmopolitan now! ;-)

Sadly - or perhaps happily - almost nowhere around Balestrand is getting more cosmopolitan yet. But it is a nice place to relax. And they do make delicious apple juice and apple cider there!
