@Edelaen: Yeah, for sure! That was the main reason he gave it to me, because I would take on too much and get super overwhelmed.

@Edelaen: From the mythos, Icarus flew too close to the sun and his wings melted. It was a warning about my ambition when I first met him. I'll get there lol. I'm not in any rush to find it. :)

@Edelaen: Yeah, absolutely a good idea to make sure these are things you understand and want indelibly written on your skin. The belief is that these symbols are ancient and passed down from Gods themselves, so you'd be an idiot not to take at least some thought and care into putting them onto your skin.

I see your name now, I was pretty sure Vinden meant "Wind" but I wasn't sure what the rest of it meant, but I get it now. My mentor gave me the name Ickarus but eventually I plan to come up with my own name for myself. I totally understand getting upset about people being dumb with it, but hey, if they want to do that stuff without considering the consequences, that's entirely on them lol.

But yes, it's nice to meet a sister on here too :) Let me know if there's anything I can do or that you want to talk about. :)

Excellent! I had a feeling you probably shared the same viewpoint, people don't get that many Norse-specific tattoos often without reason. You can definitely ask me anything if you like, and I'll be sure to do the same, since this basically makes us family :)


Stupid question, I saw the "Mitt navn er Vindenshjerte," is that your Pagan name or is it a roleplay name you chose? I like it though, Vindenshjert. :)

First of all, it's always nice to meet someone else that shares my love of everything Viking :) I'm a Norse Pagan myself, and my only tattoo (thus far) is a pentagram on my shoulder. I have a million plans for new tattoos, and I absolutely love the process of getting them too. I'm working on finding 8 runes for my fingers that mean something to me, and I plan on getting a Vegvisir on my other shoulder. I want to get that Geri/Freki yin-yang thing too, as well as a tribal raven on both of my forearms. I might get an Aegishjalmur somewhere too.

I'm obsessed with everything Viking so let me know if you want to chat about it. And thank you to @Ruby: my lovely little skeldumawi for tagging me in this :D

I'm kinda burnt out of Magic right now. It's in a pretty weird state at the moment, so as much as I like the game, I'm taking a break from it and might not go back to it. I played Yugioh for 13 years (until about four years ago), but I quit because I realized waaaaay too late that the way they were doing reprints and stuff was just making me lose tons of money. Magic at least holds it's value for the most part.

I'm kind of looking into other stuff nowadays. I really love the Realms game series (Star Realms, Hero Realms, Cthulhu Realms), I've been meaning to get into D&D for ages but haven't taken the jump yet, and other tabletop games. I've also been obsessed with White Wolf and World of Darkness for ages as well, but don't get to play really. I made an RP character based around something from Vampire: The Masquerade, which lasted for several years. And in general I'm a pretty huge nerd.

Wouldn't blame you if you did honestly. I'm considering it myself actually haha.

I haven't played a Pokemon game in forever. I had the Pokemon bug early on but I moved on to card games when Yugioh was first out, then I moved into Magic. It's not that I don't like Pokemon, it's just that I prefer card games to video games, and I never really got into the TCG for Pokemon.



Good to hear! Lack of sleep sucks but at least you were able to get some. :)

Introverts, man. I tell ya.

I have to agree. I hate doing lunch with people.



I like to stay up all night too, but unfortunately getting up at 6 AM for work prevents that most nights haha. Hopefully you can get some more sleep though :)

I do. At this point I won't even eat lunch with her (or my grandma, whom is our front desk lady), because whenever I give them a second of "not professional," they start it right back up. Ugh...

SAME, oh my god. It's so embarrassing.

Trust me, that's all that gets me through some work days. And my mom owns the company, so that's saying a lot.

I hear you on that! It was -35 Windchill here a few days ago. Here's hoping you get some more sleep, I know it can be tough for new parents to get adequate sleep so I hope you get lots soon!



It's ok, just means I get a full work-week's worth of pay next week. *Crosses fingers*
