Brrr!

I forget how bloody freezing Norway can be sometimes. I've just been standing outside for five hours in pretty freezing cold (-4 or so) in an information stand for Save the Children. To say I'm cold would be an understatement. My widdle toes could chill ice cream. Brrr frecking brrr. And I'm doing it all over again on Wedensday.

But on the cool side (haha, my punning skills slay me) I'm gonna be doing some work in the Save the Children information department. And one of the guys I work with is pretty cute. Ah, shallow joys. But it is also a good charity. My dad is a strong supporter of it and donated his fireworks money to its tsunami fund on New Year's. They're easily likable and they're strong here in Norway.

So I was reading the news today and... Danish troops also abusing Iraqis? Okay, first the US, then the British, now the Danish... This is so not good. Iraq is just a big headache. This was also pretty depressing to read. If a civil war eruts, Iraq is likely to be a mess for decades. The Kurdish will probably take the opportunity to seperate their part of the north if so happens. Ai. Humans sure know how to make a mess. I await the election with a great sense of dread.

In other news, I updated OFUM2 last night. Chapter Thirty-Nine: Cunning Plans Revealed and the Nature of Canon and Krakens. And I got all of two pretty flames after my weeping over having none. Thanks, you two weirdos, you.

Also, icon love. Gift from norwegianne. Pretty, pretty world. I still have icon spaces left. Anyone got any pretty ones for me? *makes puppy eyes*

Pssst, eldamere? Something's on its way across the Atlantic to you.

ETA: Princess Ingrid Alexandria's first birthday. Aaaw.
