Haha, awesome! I’m happy to spread that confusion, I guess. :D I actually did the same to my brother, and he got reaaally confused when he was trying to say it. Swedish is weird. :)

Aww, thanks! And sure, haha, if you come up with a way to switch? :P 

I can try! This will probably be a bit tl;dr though. 

So in Swedish, a noun can be either an “en-noun” or an “ett-noun”, which because the english “a” and “an” can be either “en” or “ett” in Swedish, but there is no apparent rule for this (unlike English) so you just have to know which one it is. For example, “a car” is “en bil” in swedish while “a lion” is “ett lejon”.

Depending on if the noun is an “en-noun” or an “ett-noun” you also have to change the adjectives slightly, usually by adding on or two t’s to the end of the adjective. Such as “one blue car” is “en blå bil” while “one blue lion” is “ett blått lejon”.

The special case of the word scared is that while it works perfectly with an “en-noun” (which is the more common form, I think) so that “one scared car” is “en rädd bil”, when you have to change it to fit to an “ett-noun” you… can’t. Logically, it “one scared lion” would be either “ett rätt lejon” or “ett räddt lejon” or something like that, but “rätt” is an entirely different word (meaning “correct”) and “räddt” is just… not something you would see in Swedish. Thus, making it impossible to say “one scared lion” in Swedish and make it sound right. 

I don’t know if this made sense if you don’t know the language, a lot of it is based on stuff not sounding right, and I’m not a grammar expert, but maybe it helped a little bit?

I don’t use iTunes… Or well, the only thing I use iTunes for is podfic. Plus I haven’t installed iTunes on this computer. :P However, I do use Spotify for music, which doesn’t have a most-played songs function, but I print screened my recent history which is pretty accurate for what I’m listening to now at least. :)

ETA: here you can actually see the names of the songs, I hope. :P

Är du här och smyger? :P

• Serenity
• The Fifth Element
• Little Miss Sunshine
• Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain
• Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Wow, this is super-hard! Because I’m not really that well read on poetry this is mainly going to be e e cummings because he is my favorite. :)

• “when by now and tree by leaf
  she laughed his joy she cried his grief”
  - anyone lived in a pretty how town by e e cummings
• “For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
  it’s always ourselves we find in the sea”
  - maggie and milly and molly and may by e e cummings 
• “but by the sizeless truth of a dream
  whose sleep is the sky and the earth and the sea.”
  - the great advantage of being alive by e e cummings
• “A ghost in marble of a girl you knew
  Who would have loved you in a day or two.”
  - A Few Figs from Thistles by Edna St Vincent Millay
• “i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)”
  - i carry your heart with me by e e cummings

Yay! This makes me really really happy! And yeeeah, it’s pretty impossible to put down at places. Everytime it looked like things were going to calm down the book went LOL NOPE GOING TO TURN THE ACTION UP ANOTHER DEGREE. I hope you enjoy it when you find time to read it because I want ALL THE PEOPLE to read it it might have taken over my brain just a little bit. 

Aw, that sucks. I can definitely see how that would ruin it a bit. Spoilers is not really something you want to know when it comes to this book. But yeah, there are lots of other things that happened and it’s a wonderful ride so I really think you’ll be able to enjoy it anyway!

I downloaded it (from here) but if you’re from the US you can watch it at korranation.com. :)

Aww! I’m going to assume you’ve seen it before? Anyway, the ones I chose when I want a happy episode is probably School Hard, Lovers Walk (okay the ending might not be happy but Spike!), Pangs, Something Blue, Once More With Feeling (it’s happy in places!) or Storyteller. Or you could just watch one of the brilliant episodes, like Fool For Love, or Hush, because they always make me happy even though they aren’t necessarily happy in tone throughout. :)
