There are so many things I wish I knew.

[Avarice-ness]

I dunno. I'm like a reference nerd so anything in non-fiction is interesting to me.

I'm more interested in what is making my house smell really bad right now. I'll get back to everyone on that one.

[Dynast-Kid]

I'M AN ASTROLOGY NERD, AND WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

Did you guys also know that each day of the week is assigned a (astrological) planet?

Sunday = The Sun
Monday = The Moon
Tuesday = Mars
Wednesday = Mercury
Thursday = Jupiter
Friday = Venus
Saturday = Saturn

Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto don't have days because they weren't discovered way back then!

Also, Hilary Clinton is a TRIPLE SCORPIO. @_@

I'm very fascinated by islands, so today I've been reading up on and seen pictures of the Orkneys, Jersey and the Falklands.

thor odin friga and ???

tuesday would be ty's day. I don't think there's a fifth one, though,

who is ty? he wasn't in American Gods ;.;;;;

It's Tyr and not Ty.. I think?

Also, I thought Friday was named after Freja?

But seriously, I know much more about Greek mythology than I know about Norse xD I should really read some more about it.

Odin is probably the only one spelled the same in all languages Frøya, Odin, Tor, Ty.

rubahz: Ty is the god of war. He was the only one tuff enuff to put his hand in Fenrir's mouth.

[rubah]

That's purdy tuff.

Frigg is the highest goddess of the Æsir, while Freyja is the highest goddess of the Vanir. Many arguments have been made both for and against the idea that Frigg and Freyja are really the same goddess, avatars of one another. [19] Some arguments are based on linguistic analysis, others on the fact that Freyja wasn't known in southern Germany, only in the north, and in some places the two goddesses were considered to be the same, while in others they were considered to be different. [20] There are clearly many similarities between the two: both had flying cloaks of falcon feathers and engaged in shape-shifting, Frigg was married to Odin while Freyja was married to Óðr, both had special necklaces, both had a personification of the Earth as a parent, both were called upon for assistance in childbirth, etc.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one confused xD

I learned how to figure out Sequences recently. Oh and I'm currently trying to figure out how Photoshop works.

Odin is probably the only one spelled the same in all languages Frøya, Odin, Tor, Ty.

In Swedish he's Oden, though.

My grandma actually wrote a great novel whose story revolves around Norse mythology, I learned pretty much all I know about it from there. I find Baldr's story to be the most interesting.

Haha, ditto. I know pretty much everything from Gaia creating Uranus to Pandora being Zeus' idea of a really great punishment to Man. Y'know, her being a woman and all. Always makes me lol.

Same could be said about some of the months.
Although others were named after rituals, leaders and numbers.
(So really each day of the week comes from a God's name aswell).

January - Janus (God of the doorway)
February - Februa (purification ritual)
March - Mars (aka Aries)
April - Aphrilis (aka Aphrodite)
May - Maia (Goddess of Fertility)
June - Juno (aka Heidies) (I think)
July - Julius Ceaser (A God in his own mind who created this month in his honour)
August - Augustus
September - 7
October - 8
November - 9
December - 10

I'm an obsessive philosophy lunatic. I learn new things all the time. Boring, impractical things.

Speaking of impractical things, I also managed to get too invested in learning about sociology; specifically mating patterns. Must...stop..but..so...interested.

Bah.
