*gasps at Carrion and Kherec* You have never heard of them??? I, as the bigcitygal I am, have called them for 'Pappa långben' all my life.. You know, the bugs...the flying bugs, with long legs and wings.. they love to fly in the ceiling and making small annoying bouncynoices.. and they also love the light at night, the light from a lamp or something like that.. and when they feel like it, they fall down on my head and makes me jump 5 feet up in the air... *shivers with fear* They are truly the most disgusting bug I can think of....

You must know what kind of bug I am talking about right?? I mean, you must have some kind of education, no?

*looks at her note above* ... That was stupid.. all bugs likes lights in the night.. So ignore that.. but they still has long legs and wings and tiny bodies and are really annoying.. and I do not get in close combat with those things.. oh no.. A little story about how creepy I think they are: When living at home, with my parents and little sister, I had two of those in my bedroom at night. I could not sleep because of the bouncy noices they made. I went into my kidsisters bedroom, asking if I could sleep in her room.. 'Doh' she said, and went into my room, killed the bugs so I could go back into my room to sleep again.. That is how creepy I think they are.. getting my kidsister to kill them for me..  

[Carrion]

Heh, you're talking about some sort of fly, right? But long legs and small body??? I really have no clue what you see when you're delirious

[Yberiel]

Delirious? Me..? Noooo... Not me? .. Well, since You still did not know what I was talking about, I called my daddy up to ask him for another word to call the bugs. He only knew the norwegian word for them and that is 'höyhest'. (The ö should be the norweigan ö, you know the o with a slash through it) .. But I shall not give up, I will find the right word for that bug.. Mark my words.. *nods surely*

Oh oh oh oh.. I remembered another word for them ... hope you know this one.. 'harkrank'?



Was browsing through the net and got to a sight about 'Harkrank', and it had a link to another sight.. where they are called 'Daddy long leg'..? Could that ring a bell?? I know a Daddy long leg is a spider as well, but if you imagine that spider with wings, and a slim bodyfigure.. that is a 'harkrank' ... sort of.. I think..


Ybbie, not giving up

[Carrion]

You're afraid of HARKRANKS?!?!?!?!? That was pretty fun Yes, I know what a 'harkrank' is, and I think they are pretty neat!

[Yberiel]

Neat you say? Neat??? *shivers with fear*.. god, they really gives me the creeps.. No matter how tiny they are.. Goosebumps I get, and that is not from pleasure .. oh no.. not at all.. I shiver just by the thought of them..

Was just too curious and had to search for an image of a harkrank on net! *lol* we call them "pappataci" in Italy, quite harmless nice bugs
Hey i remember some mosquitoes and black flies up there in the "fjalla" that would have made the biggest harkrank hide in shame

[Kherec]

Yes, 'harkrank' is the actual name for that beastly little, gross and pesky fly

[Dissectica]

In northen sweden we call them "skrangelmygg" and indeed I agree, those are VERY nasty!!

[Yberiel]

Thank you, Dissectica and Kherec.. I am so glad I am not the only one thinking they are so nasty

Death is natural and nothing natural should be feared.
Often when people talk about the fear of death it is actually fear of pain and mutilation.

What scares me is normal/ordinary people.

Normal/ordinary people is natural and nothing natural should be feared. Or?

[Tredon]

Normal/ordinary people is natural and nothing natural should be feared. Or?

Ordinary/normal people are unnatural.

[Carrion]

Ordinary/normal people are unnatural.

People more natural than ordinary/normal is hard to find. By definition. You might try to advocate that people overall are unnatural, as they (we) seem to unbalance things a bit too much, but I don't think that's your angle. Right?

On the other hand, if you feel different, it's probably just because it's more 'interesting' to be different. In fact, most people, even those that think they are different, are very ordinary and common. And that's NOT something to fear. Some people, though, ARE different, in nature, and they should often be feared as they can indeed do unnatural things.

I myself am ordinary, just much better than most
