I got tagged by Colleen Chen. Here are my answers to her questions.
1. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?
I like Kyllikki, Mielikki and Mansikki, but those are traditional Finnish cow names… I’d go with Annikki, though it ends with –ikki, it’s not a cow name.
2. Which Greek or Roman (or other culture's mythological) deity would you be (either who you'd like to be or who you most resemble)?
Mielikki, the Finnish goddess of woods (yes, also a traditional cow name).
3. Would you like to marry a Vulcan?
I’m not sure how boyfriend would react if I said yes, so I’ll have to say no. Plus I kinda prefer elves.
4. Would you choose immortal life with the elves, or a human, mortal life with the one you love and a child-to-be?
Hmm… I want kids to brainwash into reading. I’ll have to go with the mortal life.
5. If you had to write fan fiction, what fictional world would you choose to write in?
My brain asploded. So many to choose from... Let's say Fillory from
The Magicians and Magician King by Lev Grossman. The place is so messed up I could do almost anything with it.
6. Do you believe in any conspiracy theories?
No *shifty eyes*, should I?
7. What do you consider your best quality?
I am kind and caring.
8. What do you consider your worst quality?
I am often too kind and sensitive. I’m no doormat anymore, but I still have the feeling that the world ends if someone gets angry at me.
9. Do you ever feel over-exposed on your blog?
I’ve posted mostly stories so far, so not yet.
10. If you were to reincarnate, what would you like to be?
A lap dog. My coton de tulear has it easy, she just sleeps, eats and begs for more food.
11. What is your biggest pet peeve?
I have trouble composing my thoughts in a coherent sentence when trying to comment on blogs. I try to say what the post makes me feel, but all I get is ”eeerr…ummm…uhh…” and the like.
I’m a bit late and everyone is probably busy with the first task so I’m not tagging anyone. If someone wants my 11 questions just ask and I’ll give them.
Great answers--several of them made me laugh! I love Finnish names. It makes me wonder why there are so many traditional cow names though?!
ReplyDeleteI just Googled "Finnish cow names" and this blog post came up as two of the top three results... :)
I found a list of the most common ones: Heluna, Hertta, Ilona, Iines, Ilta, Apila, Ihme, Ilo, Heta, Ystävä, Essi, Emma, Ipana, Ihana, Aamu, Justiina, Kielo, Itu, Iita, Ana.
DeleteI guess the ones ending with -ikki are kinda clichés already =)
Hey, Mr. Spock has pointy ears, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the comment fear. I'll read my comments a couple of times before sending them, which is probably another reason why I take forever to do blog reading.
I didn't know there were official cow names. I guess maybe that's like "Betsy" here in the US?
It's not really the ears, but the light build of the elves that I like. Though Spock is cute :)
DeleteI do that too. Also if there's a lot of comments I usually won't comment because someone has already said what I thought to say.
I guess Betsy would be the english equivalent for Mansikki and names like that :)
