The idea of north

[dolorosa_12]

Day 26: Name one place you would love to visit one day.
If I have to name just one, I'm going to be sneaky and say, rather generically, 'the north'. For the past ten years at least, I've had this desire to roam around places so far north that the sun never sets (or, conversely, that the sun never rises). Top on my list are Iceland, Norway and Finland, which all sound like they're really, really beautiful.

I will, at least, be able to cross Finland off my list pretty soon. I've been accepted to present a paper at a conference in Helsinki in early June, so I'll be heading off there in the not-too-distant future. I'm not sure if it's going to be 24-hour daylight there at that point, but I look forward to it in any case.


Day 27: List your three favorite girl names, three favorite boy names, and your three favorite names for a pet.
Day 28: Your first celebrity crush.
Day 29: Your opinions on the television show Glee.
Day 30: Take a picture of yourself right now and post it, or post the most recent picture you can find.

There was midnight sun when I was there last year first weekend of June. It was more confusing for my body with regards to eating, compared to sleeping (but sleep schedules are always off for me when I am travelling or completing papers, as I was that week).

Ah, cool, thanks for that. It's good to know so that I'll be prepared for it.
