isobelll - with 3 l

We've just had midsummer here in Sweden which means that we're all sitting and freezing, no one remembers that it wont be warm for another month yet but who the fuck cares? The tradition makes everyone blind to anything else. The Swedes wrap flowers around a pole, straiten the thing up and hope that no one will notice that its a giant cook and not a Christian symbol which most people forget anyways (it just to be a huge cook anyways, nowadays everyone's forgotten just about everything). They will now dance around the "thing" singing "We are the little frogs, we are the little frogs..." while drinking huge amounts of strong stuff not forgetting - eating rotten fish. No need to say that I don't participate in this foolishness. I spent my midsummer's eve in a sweet little collective, eating vegetarian dumpster food, listening to weird and very nice music wile discussing politics and having a free shop where I got a couple of good new shirts - me like! The rest of the weekend was spent with other friends too. =)
