Now I'm even more determend to go and visit there one day(there and Scotland and Ireland). Have any pointers for me on where to go? And what to see? And since you mentioned legends, do you, maybe, know any sites where I can see and read about them?
Oooh, I really want to see Scotland! I've been to a few parts of Ireland, but I'd really like to more as well. :) Hmmm, well, it kinda depends on what you want to see, lol! South Wales is kinda industrialized, but still very very pretty, the more western and northern parts are still quite wild. *thinks a bit* If you want to see places where the legends took place, then maybe North Wales would be better? There's the 'history legend', where you can see where events took place, since the rebellions were mainly in the North... Snowdon was the seat of the Prince of Wales... but really, there are myths and legends for everywhere in Wales, so almost wherever you go, you'll be somewhere where something happened. :)
You also reminded me of my ancestors home village. ^_^ A tiny little place(it's not even on any maps I own. XD ), a raised flatland sorounded by mountains(called Lika) and a river flowing through the middle. There is something grand about coming to parts of the land where there is pure nature. (it would have been even better if there weren't any minefields around -_- ). I and my father make it a point to visit at least twice a year. ^_^
Oh, that sounds so beautiful! *sighs wistfully* Well... apart from the minefields, lol. But yes, there is something incredible about coming across places where things haven't changed all that much, knowing that you are seeing almost the same things you ancestors did... it's really amazing. :)
We have our own sets of legends and heroes and myths although I don't know many(I need to fix that O_o )
Heh, I don't know any apart from British ones! I've dabbled a bit in Norse and Greek, but that's it. Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? I really need to read more myths and legends of the world... :)
Oh right, I forgot to ask at the beginning. Did you see the 'Watchman' movie? Those characters are from the JSA, right?
I haven't, actually! I... don't think the characters are from the JSA... I think - I haven't read the comic. I think they're based on a similar premise - heroes from the 30's/40's in a more modern setting, having been called back up? But I really don't know anything about it...
I used to draw them all the time, color them in the strangest colors and then name them. XD There was also this Australian cartoon series Thara the Silver Brumby and the movie on the same book XD . My cousin and I would stare at the TV every Saturday morning watching that. I hope to find a copy of it one day... And the righting! I haven't done that in so long! *whimper*
*grins* Yay for horses!!! I watched that cartoon too! It's was really cool. I remember reading the books and seeing the movie too! They were so great. :D
Yeah, Extraverts can be really really confusing. I guess us Introverts are just as confusing to them, as is kinda pointed out in the article, but... I just really don't understand them. Thank you for sharing the link! It was really interesting. And thank you for your lovely comment, too! :)
