I couldn't care less what her proclivities were. It's irrelevant.

Good writing comes out of personal conflict and a willingness to go where the path leads.

Re: Nah (none / 1)

Very true... Specially that I always thought they were Hippos !
I thought the Trolls were all those little gnomes running on the island ...

I must have been almost 25 when I discovered with awe that the Mommin Maiden was a Troll... (What a shock) !

Re: Nah (4.00 / 2)

I have lived this same life out in the archipelago during the summer. You are out on an island for two months in the Baltic, like Robinson Crusoe, with nothing to do but ponder, look at the sea and sauna. Every three days you take a boat and go to the nearest island to shop for supplies - especially crates of red wine.

Sometimes friends drop by unexpectedly and you party. Sometimes it rains. Sometimes the mosquitoes are intolerable. Every night you light a bonfire and stare into the flames. You read a lot of books, especially in a little hut where you crap and there are even more mosquitoes - and possibly snakes.

It is the best time a human being can have...

Re: Nah (none / 1)

Er... We might be trolling this diary ! Why wouldn't you make one on the Moomin's background (the islands) ,

For several winters I nearly went there from Leningrad, but never found the time (Rabot, rabot)!

Re: Nah (4.00 / 2)

Don't quote me on this, but I think the comic strips were actually originally written in English, for the London Evening News or somesuch.

Re: Nah (none / 1)

Poof! Of course not! Trolls are simply you with a 180 degree phase reversal.

Come and live in Finland, and see if it doesn't satisfy your inner trek to find something sensible between capitalism and communism.

Re: Nah (4.00 / 2)

I would have thought it was the Levorotation (lévogyre in french) part that did the Troll... :-)
