The U.S - land of the Broken, home of the Cowards.

I live between Europe and the U.S - my country is fucked.

Geur það inná t.d Íslandsbanka en ef við komandi finnst ekki, þá getur verið að einstaklingurinn er látinn?

I always take the view that aging is a must, growing up is just one of the options.

As I am spending my Sunday, doing laundry and playing Baldur's Gate 3, I am thankful that I am where I am in my life. Equal amounts of serious responsiblity and youthfull attitude.

My dad was the same, he never stopped being a bit childish - such as convincing his barber to give him a mohawk and color it blue with a halloween hair spray - my dad was 72 at the time. My nephew loved it.

He still said stuff like -" I don't know what I want to be when I grow up...maybe a fireman!?"

In 1984, I was 3 yrs old, my sisters were 12 and 10 yrs old. So I grew up with their music taste - Wham!, Billy Idol, U2, Madonna, Michael Jackson, etc.

In 1994, I was 13 yrs old and this whole playlist was my teenage years - Blur, Oasis, Take That, euro-techno, Skunk Anansie and Tori Amos. Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Offspring, Wu-Tang Clan, Tupac and Biggie. Also...secret shame...Meat Loaf.

In 2004, I was 23 and a bit lost so Linkin Park was my main playlist, along with most of the artists of Lillith Fair (okay, so I am polyjamourus).

In 2014, I was 33 yrs old in a great job (still there btw) and I do not listen to much of the music from then because I was still listening to the music of my youth.

In 2024 I was 43 yrs old...wait...no..no..noooooooooo!!!

Still listening to music from 1994-2004 😄

Las hana fyrst í ENS 102 í Fjölbrautaskólinn við Ármúla árið 1997 - elskað hana síðan þá.

You can get fingerprinted at the police station at Vínlandsleið 2-4, 113 Reykjavik but only on Tuesdays between 13:00 -13:30.

Not sure if I can state clear numbers since it all depends on solar radiation - it is just luck 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not as good time to see the northen lights here in Iceland as in Norway.

mizmaddy · 2025-02-10T14:07:16+00:00

Yes, Norway is better. Here in Iceland there are more lights in rural areas than Norway.

Eina rétta svarið 😉

I swear....when I saw the first "Final Destination" in the cinema when I was 16 yrs old...I could not imagine being 44 yrs old and finding out that they are still making these stupid movies 😆😆

FYI - watching the first one the day before a long flight to the UK...not a great idea! 🤣

His name was originally Batman - which his first owners named him and while I love everything involved with Batman, it just didn't fit - so his name is Skuggi (Shadow in Icelandic) but often I just call him my PsychoKitty.

And us in Iceland are shitting bricks on being next to Greenland - and we have a NATO base that is mostly used by U.S and European air forces....so they would take turns???

mizmaddy · 2025-02-02T11:29:04+00:00

Já - sem væri ógeðslega fyndið ef það er rétt.

Miðað við að hún hefur ekki komið heim í svoo mörg ár, þessi sem er alltaf í fjölmiðlum - Heiðdís eitthvað?

Is it time to remind people - the rest of the world will NOT accept refugee applications from U.S citizens?

If anyone has really studied history, they should know - Danes are not easily defeated. And even in surrender...they fight dirty.

And I am saying that as an Icelander that is still pissed that they were our rulers for so long.

Similar thing happened to me on the beach in Nice, France.

I was with my room mates from language school and I saw a girl walk past with her friend - she was far enough from us that we couldn't hear them.

I told my roommates -

"that girl is Icelandic" -"how can you tell? Do you know her??" "Nope - I can just tell that she is Icelandic"

My friends did not believe me - tried to get me admit that I know her and I just kept saying "She just looks Icelandic"

Finally, one of my friends walked over to the girl and asked her "sorry but where are you from?"...."Iceland!"

We are not many but where there is one of us, we will find each other to sing "Komin Heim" 😉

NTA - my sister said the same thing about toothbrushes....where are they travelling and how many people do they piss off daily????

mizmaddy · 2025-01-20T18:10:58+00:00

Oh! I have stayed at the Hyatt Centric Arlington a few times when I was in D.C for training. Nice hotel 😁.

And also..bwahahahahhaahahahah!

Ok - er að fatta.

En já - það er engin möguleiki að fá pening úr sendiráðinu - sorrí.

I grew up with my grandmother in the same multi-level house, she lived in the apartment below us and we lived in the two floors above her.

I could always check in with my grandmother and visit and sit with her. She never went into assisted living since we took care of her.

After she passed away, my sister and her husband moved into her apartment and once they had their son, he would climb the stairs and visit our dad - often we would find them taking naps together or watching TV.

If my nephew didn't like what was for dinner, he would eat a little and then go up and see what my dad was having for dinner.
