Kick my brain? And other notes.

misscamOr more particulary, the part of my brain that does the writing. It's been a bit lazy of late. So, I was thinking - give me a line from one of *your* fanfics you'd like to see in a story of mine. (You will of course be credited with its use if I do use it.) It doesn't have to be from a fandom I write in, though if names are mentioned, it is of course more convenient if it is.
Alternatively, if you're not a fanfic writer, get a line from another source, like a book. Or invent something ;)
Never know what will spark something.
Blah blah work.
Meanwhile, the Israeli ambassador has managed to piss off Norwegian Jews by critizing the Norwegian Royal family for "not being supportive enough" after the shooting against the synagogue. They feel she has no right to speak for Norwegian Jews, which does go to show Israel ain't quite the same as Jews everywhere. Not to mention that going after the Royal family in Norway is always a bad, bad idea. They are generally beloved and Norwegians can get quite fiercly protective.
Man, there are days I think foreigners here need a 'Guide to Norwegians' style thing with everything that isn't in the official guidebooks. Like how asking a Norwegian what they believe is considered almost rude unless you know them well and even then it's a fairly personal question, the concept of "dugnad" (basically, people getting together and doing stuff for free for the benefit of others or society in general. A collective effort for the common good, as it were. It differs from volunteerism in that it's non-organisational and task-specific), why we have two languages (goes all the way back to the Black Death, that) and have given up on joining them, why you do not attack the Royal family and why we have a love-hate relationship with the US and the EU.
Be fun to write, really.
I wish Grey's Anatomy season two was out on DVD already in Europe. I WANT. WHINE WHINE. I've even given in and uploaded some icons. Stupid addictive show.
Finally, 'aww' over Fudge the hamster's story.
