The 3 questions thing

[frualeydis]

Since I have asked jauncourt 3 questions and am trying to find some good questions for marymont I am now ready to answer your questions.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

1. What is your favorite thing about where you live?
2. Why did you pick Rickard (???) as your significant other?
3. What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino?

What are you planning to name the new baby?

You asked me about how we are doing with the Diaper Free thing. Does this mean you are considering it?

have you planned any tiny period clothes?

1.
Gothenburg is a big enough city to have variety and thriving subcultures (not that I take part in that so much anymore) as well as varied political groups. Still it is small enough to have a "home-feeling" over it, you can walk through the central parts without getting totally exhausted. The benefits of the area I live in is that it's very close to the university (and the centre), it only takes 5 minutes to walk to work.

2. Because he's the best :) No, seriously,there are many things that appeal to me; a main thing is that is he is very confident and secure. He knows who he is and don't have to prove anything to anybody. He's a rather quiet person and not very social which is very different from me, but he makes me feel calm and secure. He's also intelligent, which is important. One thing I like is that he knows things I don't, like middle eastern late antiquity history or about armour.
We also have the same basic political values and a similar working class background, which I have found out through experience is important to me.

3. I have no idea, but I think Hieronymus Bosch probably could make an accurate drawing.

1. I'm not cool at all. I'm a strange combination of an extrovert person who gets things done and a nerdy bookworm. And a party girl when I have the energy. It's hard to figure out how I became the one I am. I was very shy and afraid of trying new things as a kid and then I was an outsider as a teenager. Me and my best friend were referred to as the ugly girls in our class. I was also late in my development, preferring to play rather than look at boys when I was fourteen. For some reason however I decided to get over this shyness and lack of confidence, doing well in school helped me to grow confidence, and maybe I just succeeded too well, since now there are very few things I am afraid of and I have a tendency to be dominating.

2. I can't feel anything about americans as a group, just as I can't feel anything about swedes as a collective. There are too many. All the americans I have "met" on the internet or IRL are nice intellegent people. We may not have the same opinions on politics, but that goes for a lot of swedes too. Actually I think that is one of the really good things with the internet, you get to know people from other places and it gets much harder to have prejudice then. I mean, if I watch the news and only see americans waving flags and saying that their god is going to help the show all those arabs who's the strongest, or talk about the right for everybody to carry firearms, or that abortion should be forbidden, I would think that that's the way american are, but obviously they're not. What happened at the world bank meeting in Seattle was achieved by americans, quite a lot of peace activists are americans and even if you don't count them I assume that most americans are nice decent people. there are a lot of things I don't like about american politics and also about american society, for example the large gap between rich and poor, but I think the latter is a structural problem and caused by the wealthy minority who controls the power and not something the average american really wants.

3. I think you can only adopt children. Actually, since you're from a western country it might not be so hard for you to get that citizenship. If you had been african or an arab on the other hand.. structural racism is a problem here too. You just have to move here and get a job, wade through endless bureaucracy and then you can become a swede. If you really want to.

1. If it's a girl, her name will probably be Maja. if it's a boy we are thinking of Jonas, Patrik or maybe Magnus.

2. No, I'm too lazy, but I have friend who's doing it (I don't know to what extent now) and it was an adorable sight to see her 3 month old girl pee in our wash basin (you just have to move the tooth brushes away first)

3. Not only planned, but also sewn. This far only one tunic in yellow linen and one in light blue wool. It depends on how many events we will go to when (s)he is this small. If we go to Visby medieval week I will have to make more so we can change. It's a camping event but since we will have to boil water and wash diapers every second day anyway (the aforemnetioned girl will also go) we can wash clothes often too and then maybe we won't need so may. Not that it takes much time to make tunics for such a little body.

In larger sizes I have quite a lot of clothes that my big girls just to have.
