No fair! I want to enter!
Where's the "ZOMG I WANT TO ENTER SO BADLY BUT MYG DOESN'T LOVE ME ANY MORE" option in the poll?!
Show-off, you!
I guess if you have bragging rights - flaunt it
Damn straight. I know every last one of you would do the same in my shoes
And I don't mean any harm, so nyeeeh!
But I figure people can interpret it however they want and if they want to interpret it in the negative then boo to them.
Well, at first I was gob-smacked at how insanely expensive almost everything is around here (except for internet, that's still cheaper than 4Mbps Telkom ADSL and data and line rental). And then I spent some time sight-seeing. And then I did normal things like cook, clean and learn a new language
My husband is Danish. But we decided on making Sweden home so here we are.
When are you coming to visit?

Why Sweden doesnt it get quite cold up there being close to the north pole or do you want to be a viking
You never really feel the cold except in winter and then indoors is always centrally heated. Buses and trains are always heated and when you go outside you're generally wearing nice winter clothes (I love winter clothes). And even then it takes an hour or so before you really begin to feel the cold outside, at which point you're pretty much indoors again.
Spring and summer are really beautiful and the weather is actually fantastic. It doesn't really get very hot (I think it's between 18-24C most days) and only once in a month it might hit 30C. But it's not like a South African 30C... It's humid and sticky and urgh...
But the days are lovely. Right now it's 14C and there's a nice clean, ozone-smelling drizzle outside and it's WONDERFUL
The transition from white winter to colourful spring is amazing. All sorts of colours everywhere: reds, yellows, blues and pinks.
I'm in love
There's... subtlety on the internet?
I figure that there's never a subtle way to gloat. Either you're being an ass, or you try to do it in a tactfully funny way. I think I tend to manage to pull off a combo regardless of how hard I try to just make a funny
But you're right, tact and subtlety are largely situationally/circumstantially dependent.
Regardless, don't ever over think things
), but online, I want a more subtle persona.
Do you get the aurora lights often there and those weird spiral things in the sky like Norway has
Where I live (Skåne -- southernmost Sweden, right next to Denmark) it's very rare to see them. However, it's common to see them in Luleå (all the way north). I hope to take a trip there at some point in the next year or two--I'd very much like to see the northern lights
I am so completely the opposite of that. Online I'm arrogant, condescending and generally a smart-ass. But in reality I'm pretty humble and diplomatic. I figure that online people have thicker skins and generally are bright enough to fend for themselves.
.
I use a lot more profanity in real-life than I do online... Unless playing Battlefield 3.
I would love to see your pictures of the lights and the country side since all I picture is snow and mountains everywhere like in the movies or games
I am pretty much the same as online and in real life.
I miss muh Table Mountain!

REPENT! REPENT!
