Wow, thanks so much! Haha, I tried reading the rest, and partially because of certain words' similarity to English and partly because I already know what should be on the page I could sort of understand it and found it hilarious. And that line made me squee.
Eleventh? Wow. You're a whole day ahead. Sweden as a nation may be young but geographically... wow, seventeenth century documents? That's so cool. Tolkien fell in love with the Swedish, Welsh and Finnish (particularly Finnish and Welsh)languages, and also there was this one guy called Munnrot if I remember correctly, I think from Finland, who felt so abd at his country's lack of folklore and culture that he travelled to find folklore and collected it into Finland's history. Tolkien longed to do something like that for England, which had only borrowed languages and myths from the Romans and Celtics and those languages formed the basis of his invented High-Elven and Grey-Elven languages.
Haha, I was obsessed with dinoasurs as a child too! Then I became obsessed with Greek and Egypian myths. Now I'm obsessed with all sorts (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, Mayan, my own Indian) and also, due wholly to Good Omens, I am obsessed with Judaism, Christianity and Islam as well. XD
