Aa? I hadn't heard about the revolution bit. What book is this, by the way?

And thank you muchly for the linkage. I think I'd seen it before, but lost it. <3

At one point I kind of wanted to maybe write something to do with this, but it's one of those things that I really, really feel that I don't know enough about to do it justice.

From: (Anonymous)

Uhhhh.....gdi I forgot, let me check the library catalogue.

"Historical Dictionary of Estonia" by Toivo Miljan. I, uh, like the entry on Finland quite a bit.

I was also rather amused by this line "The Estonian culture has survived due to its "secret weapon": the difficult-to-learn Estonian language."

aksdjf. FUCK YES MY LIBRARY ACTUALLY HAS IT. For once. Gasp and egads.

I shall have to look into this when I have some free time. [eyes.gif]

Also re: language - pfffft. Oh, Estonia.

Thank you much for this, dear <3

From: (Anonymous)

Yay! /o/ I had a bit of free time today so I went to the Baltic history section and pulled out a couple of books to check out. The book's pretty thick, and although the title says "Dictionary", it has quite lengthy explanations but isn't too hard to read.

(Also, ngl, the alphabetical categorisation made it easier for me to just flip to the topics I'm interested in :D )

This pleases me. 8D Tee hee I can't wait until I'm able to snoop aboot in the library <3 It will be an adventure. And I'll be taking many notes, I expect.

From: (Anonymous)

That's what I did. Take notes, I mean 8D I only had a couple of hours though. I might borrow that book another day when I don't have to carry so much stuff to class.

...I like how we're talking about books here while talking about Estonions on the thread above.

From:

yuuago

The copy my school has is for in-library use only, so unfortunately I can't snag it. Siiigh. But oh well. <3 I take good notes.

I like it too. 8D IT'S JUST HOW WE ROLL.

From: (Anonymous)

That's too bad B|

.../checks
I think it's the same for my university OTL.

I... don't take very good notes, I think? I just copy the parts I find interesting or might come in useful for... science.

ESTONIONS. SWEET AND DELECTABLE.

From:

yuuago

Eh, well, when it comes to like... stuff like this, I tend to copy the stuff that's useful/important/etc.
My school notes, on the other hand, are... not exactly the best. Because I tend to just scribble down whatever hilarious thing my prof said and ignore the rest.

ESTONIONS. THEY'RE GOOD IN A SALAD.

From: (Anonymous)

I have one page of notes from today's reading. It has uhh... funny quotes, stuff to do with Finland, stuff to do with Sweden, HI OBVIOUS PRIORITIES.

My school notes are neat and I copy everything my lecturers write on the board because I pretty much depend on them for notes. Which makes life very hard when a lecturer has terrible handwriting and every Thursday I just end up being all ANGRY-- /deep breath

GOOD IN A SALAD, GOOD WITH PORK CHOPS AND SAUSAGES. AN ESSENTIAL IN EVERY MEAL, MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS HAVE AN ESTONION ON YOUR PLATE!

From:

yuuago

OBVIOUS PRIORITIES ARE OBVIOUS but not all that different from mine so there we are.

Mine are... scribbly and messy. And like, most classes at this level, there isn't a lot of lecture/note taking anyway. The classes are mostly discussion. So I don't really need to do a lot.

When I was teaching, I was well aware of the fact that my handwriting is messy as hell, and self-conscious about it. So I wrote all the board-notes in VERY LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS. I'm not sure it helped. :|

ESTONIONS. PART OF A COMPLETE BREAKFAST imean wat

From: (Anonymous)

Well, I keep thinking that I should read up about the Russian and German bits, but those bits are so long, especially the bits about the Soviet Union so I just... uh... I'll just leave it for another time.

Mine classes are centred around note-taking B| I don't if it's the subject, or if it's due to the type of people taking the classes... but we really do rely a lot on the lecturer's notes for exams.

If only my lecturer would be as considerate as you /weeps
His handwriting is small and squiggly, the ts look like ks, the ss look like 5s, and most of the time in class is spent trying to decipher his handwriting rather than actually paying attention to what he's saying. And we've asked him to write bigger before, we keep asking him to read out what he just wrote, but he just doesn't get the hint (屮ಠДಠ)屮彡 ┻━┻

YOU EAT ESTONIONS FOR BREAKFAST? DO THEY GO WELL WITH YOUR COFFEE?

From:

yuuago

Yeahhh. It's all so long and complicated and I really don't blame you for like, setting those bits aside for a while. Derp.

Also, that prof's handwriting sounds awful. :| Geeze. I don't think even mine is quite that bad....

OF COURSE ESTONIONS GO WELL WITH COFFEE. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT.

From: (Anonymous)

I've seen your handwriting and no, yours is perfectly legible. Imagine your handwriting but... more squashed, and less effort taken to make the letters look like what they should remotely look like. If he writes in capitals or write bigger, it wouldn't be so bad but he just won't B| B| B| man, yesterday I was in a totally rotten mood after three hours of him.

WELL I DON'T KNOW, I'VE NEVER HAD ESTONIONS BEFORE /GAZES MOURNFULLY AT FLAGCOUNTER

From:

yuuago

Oh snap. Yeah, that sounds just... major suck, brah. YOU HAVE MY PITY. BOTH ON THAT MATTER AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY ESTONIONS. SERIOUSLY.

From: (Anonymous)

Ooh, coloured icons~

I KNOW RIGHT. THE SUPERMARKETS HERE DON'T SELL ESTONIONS. ONLY NORMAL ONIONS HERE. I'M MISSING OUT ON SO MUCH.

From:

yuuago

Yeah, I'm rather pleased with it, ngl. I might do more, not sure - maybe one or two for my RP account, at least. I like that they take so little effort, ffff.

YOU POOR SOUL. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW FABULOUS UNTIL YOU'VE HAD AN ESTONION. IT'S A TRULY LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE.

From: (Anonymous)

Great pleasure from little effort = yay \o/

I KNOW. EVERYDAY, I DREAM OF THE MOMENT WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO BRING AN ESTONION TO MY MOUTH AND BITE INTO IT. MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE WITHOUT AN ESTONION. I KNOW IT'S OUT THERE, SOMEWHERE, WAITING FOR ME TO FIND IT JUST LIKE HOW I'M WAITING FOR IT TO FIND ME. WE WILL MEET ONE DAY AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.

From:

yuuago

Yayyyy <3 And I kind of like having icons that I've done stuff to myself. Makes me feel ~unique~.

...

....

Okay brah, you seem a bit too enthusiastic thar. :V

From: (Anonymous)

You special snowflake, you. But I can understand that. Sometimes I make my own icons to avoid the whole crediting thing but most of the time I'm just too lazy.

...

/weeps

I-I just never had an Estonion before in my life

Also, fuck, now I can add onions to the list of things corrupted by fandom.

From:

yuuago

Yeahhh, credit can be a bitch - especially because a lot of the time people who make icons don't credit the fanartists, so I have no idea what the sauce is. TBH I don't give a fuck about icon-artist credit, but I'm trying to get better about artcredit, so... there we go. It's just easier on me if I make my own. Take out the middleman.

...

*patpat* There, there.

Fandom corrupts EVERYTHING. It's glorious.

From: (Anonymous)

Yeah, sometimes when I'm surfing fanart sites I'll see a picture and go "ooh, that's where that person's icon is from!" because so many icons don't have artcredit. Personally, I tend to avoid using fanart icons, but that's just my own preference.

....

We talk stupid crap a lot. I'M SORRY ESTONIA, I LOVE YOU. REALLY, REALLY, I DO.

From:

yuuago

One of these days I'm going to go back into the bowels of Pixiv and try to find the credits for my uncredited stuff. ONE OF THESE DAYS.

....

I like talking stupid crap. It's the best ever. I'M SURE ESTONIA LOVES YOU TOO. He's never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~

From: (Anonymous)

...Good luck with that. Especially for the Swe/Fin stuff.
I have seen the original art for some of your icons, but I don't save a lot of stuff, so... :/

If it's stupid crap you want, I can always provide (✿・∇・ )ﾉ though I'm running out now because I am drinking and it is inhibiting my ability to think.

/loves on Estonia ♥

From: (Anonymous)

...Also after all this Estonion crap, I read my original comment and it seems so much funnier to me now HAHAHAHAHAHA

I amuse myself orz. I'm pretty sure it's not just the alcohol
