Inspiring Blogger Award #2

I was nominated for another inspiring blogger award!! This time by Twisted Princess of Darkling Dreams! (Thank you!!)

This means five more odd habits for you guys to digest!

1. I love dead languages! I was obsessed with runes in my teens and I have studied Middle Egyptian grammar at uni.

2. I love sleeping and I LOVE dreaming! I sometimes have lucid dreams and I use that to make those dreams really awesome and strange!

3. I am fascinated by preserved human remains, like mummies, bog bodies and frozen bodies like the Iceman or the Inca children... My favorite preserved human (right now, it varies) is The Tollund Man, his face just looks so peacefully asleep even after almost 2500 years.

4. I am also morbidly fascinated by diseases, genetic disorders, epidemics and stuff! I love reading about pandemics like The Black Death or The Spanish Flu and I love really icky and disturbing diseases and disorders, like Harlequin ichthyosis, Noma, Ebola... and so on...

5. I make up fantasy stories and fantasy worlds in my mind, but I never write them down, because I hate writing. But I love building the worlds and populating them, creating cultures, mythologies, maps and all the little details that makes a world.


Here are a few more blogs that inspire me! Consider yourselves tagged and give me some odd habits:

Inspiring Blogger Award

I got an Inspiring Blogger Award from Aristocratic Elegance! (Which was a huge honor!!)

Five odd habits of mine:

1. I read fanfiction as if it was a full time job. Literally 40 hours a week sometimes! When I have to write a paper for school I usually spend five hours reading fanfiction for every hour I spend working. I also have NO self diciplin AT ALL when it comes to fanfiction, I just can´t resist... My current fanfiction obsessions are Game of Thrones, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek TOS and, as always, Harry Potter.

2. I am asexual and I can seriously not understand what´s so great about romantic relationships... Give me a dog any day, if it´s the intimacy!

3. I live in a closet that is about 3 square meters. I don´t have room for a bed so I sleep an a mattress on the floor... I have lived like this for 5½ years, and I love it! I do have a window, a radiator and a couple of shelves but that is about it really...

4. I am about the laziest person on the planet... I am (almost) seriously considering a future as a relaxation coach! Stress related disorders flee before me!

5. I cannot live without Finnish salmiak, I just have to have it!! I import it to Sweden, because swedes really suck at salmiak, they call it "salty licorice" for chrissakes!!!

I´m going to tag a few blogs that I enjoy reading! Give me som odd facts people (I love oddities)!
