what posses me VIII: when iceland comes a calling

If you have know me longer than, say,two seconds,

 you will know that the only place I have had on my mind for a 

long, long time is

 Iceland. 

Ask me about the Vikings, I dare you. 

I read Icelandic guide books for bedtime reading 

and keep Icelandic primers close at hand.

 I wish my last name ended with "dottir". 

So, because I love my Icelandic day dreams so much, 

I almost didn't want to share this. 

But, I did. 

Because I'm super nice. 

Inspired by Iceland is an initiative by the Icelandic government to encourage people ousted by Iceland

 fierce volcanoes to travel there regardless. Anyone remember Eyjafjallajökull? (Did anyone ever learn how to pronounce that?) I remember by plane to London almost being affected by Eyja-eff-me-kull, that's what I remember. 

happy singles appreciation day.

"Love climbs up and love falls down.
Love can smile and love can frown.
Let they love now smile on mine
And be my own dear Valentine."
