My apologies for the silence. Busy. But there's a long weekend coming up, which should be good.

The possible Stockholm trip has been pushed to next year, in order to make room for a trip to Montreal this autumn. Nothing's final yet; the tickets aren't booked. But, we'll see. It'll be nice to go to Montreal again.

Had an encounter with a troll. The internet kind, not the Norwegian kind. Was... interesting. And tiresome. Blocked 'em, and that took care of the matter, but it was still tedious.

Got my bingo card. Already have a few ideas. Can hardly wait to start writing - but it'll have to wait until the weekend, as always.

Again, sorry for neglecting the flist. I'm really tired.

Stop worrying about the flist, we'll be here anytime you know. :D

Oooh trolls! In the LJ? I thought they died out here a long time ago and moved to Tumblr instead...

[yuuago]

I will always worry about my flist! I KNOW Y'ALL ARE AROUND and that makes me feel like a dick for not replying to your entries. (Are you feeling any better after yesterday, by the way?)

And yes, trolls! Though actually, it was on Tumblr, not LJ. It's hard to tell whether it was two people or just one... they both had the same typing style, but ya' never know. If it is just one person, then they've bothered some of my friends in the past, and seem to have some serious beef with people who like Sweden/Norway, heh. Very strange.

Nope, my body is still mad at me for putting it through so much berrypicking. I'm seriously out of shape! :D

LOLWAT Sweden/Norway grudge? Anyways I'm totally following your tumblrs now like the creepy creep I am.

[yuuago]

Fff WELL, at least you got some berries out of it, right?

Also HAH. YES. Though okay, I can't say for sure if both trolling incidents were the same person, or if that person is the one who bothered my friends, but there are too many coincidences... Anyway, apparently liking that pairing is TEARING CANON APART and hdu make Sweden/Finland ex-lovers, doncha' know. (I'm not even kidding. That's what they said. Not to me, but to Icelilly, when they had a go at her for hosting that Nordic romance fest. I just. Wat?) Darlin', people confuse me so much.

.... Fff you creepin' creep. [/creeps on, too] <3

This just might be the time to roll up my sleeves and write a truckload of Sweden/Norway because tearing canon apart is, like, my favourite hobby. Or Norway/Sweden, both ways are good. As a matter of fact while I'm at it I might as well do the unthinkable and pair Finland with Russia and dress Mannerheim in a corset - that's a previously proven way of getting a large amount of people reaaaaally really angry over something hilariously unimportant. :D

[yuuago]

A truckload of Sweden/Norway is an excellent idea, I think. Yes. Let's team up and rip this canon into pieces, darlin'. I've already got some planned out myself, heh.

pair Finland with Russia and dress Mannerheim in a corset

Wat.

I have a feeling there is some history to this, but I do not know, and am curious.

Regardless, the answer is always: Do it! (When you have time)

[kainoliero.livejournal.com]

Heh, there is history to that indeed. Mannerheim is one of our presidents, and the one who lead us in the WWII and Finns consider him some kind of a national hero and the epitome of Finnishness. This despite the fact that he spent little time in Finland, was trained in the Russian army, lead the Whites in our civil war (they won and were right bastards about it). His mother tongue wasn't even Finnish but Swedish - he was an aristocrat who liked nothing better than embroidery (I've seen some of it and damn that man was good with a needle). Somehow this combination is still very well liked among the rednecks.

The easiest way ever to gain free publicity in Finland is therefore to make fun of Mannerheim. Someone made an animation of him as a gay centaur in corset who had a Chinese(?) loverboy and even though the animation was nothing special and it happened years ago, people STILL talk about it. I mean wat.

[yuuago]

I can see the "The More You Know" logo flying over my head right now.

The only thing I can say is: Wat. Seriously. Wat?

Yes. Do it. Finland/Russia and Mannerheim in a corset. It'll be glorious.

No need for apologies honey boo! Are you getting a 3 day weekend? I'm so excited for my 3 day weekend!! Ahh!

We should go to Stockholm together! I was planning to go for the fall of this year but Social Security took my money away and it's now been officially pushed back... I was really looking forward to it too.

Oh god. Don't you just love trolls? They are much fun sometimes. What did they bitch and moan about this time?

What's a bingo card?

[yuuago]

I'm Canadian. We apologize for everything. It's just how it is! And yes, 3-day weekend. Not sure what holiday it's supposed to be, but I'm not complaining.

YES WE SHOULD. Heh. Though actually I'll be visiting a friend when I go, so. (And we might go to Norway too aldkjfkdf I'm so excited.)

And yes, trolls are certainly... uh... interesting. I don't even know, they went on about sweden/norway and me ignoring canon and also doujinshi redistribution and some sort of thing. I dunno. I blocked 'em.

Re: Bingo cards, it's a kind of challenge-based fest! You're given a "card" full of 25 prompts, and you fill in squares on the card by making fanwork matching those prompts. I've already got some great ideas for it; I just need time.

I wasn't online at the time, but how did the Iron Maiden concert go?

I would hope that if you met a Norwegian kind of troll, you would tell us.

Hope catch some sleep over the week-end.

[yuuago]

The concert was amazing *_* Best time ever!

Oh, pff, don't worry, if I ran into a Norwegian troll, you guys would be the first to know.

I'm glad you had fun. Were any songs particularly good and/or with an unusual arrangemant?
