"Right, so I'm just trying to ..record this because I feel like a git, sitting here and talking to myself so I'll put some music in the background and you're not supposed to hear it, uh, I've tried it out, and if you hear it I'm sorry about that. Kay, so these questions aren't really in any order, uh, they're just, I'm just gonna take them as I've written them down. The first question is from insane_sarah, or, uh, Sarah, cause I feel like, can I call you Sarah? Because I feel like I'm insulting you by calling you insane. Um, okay. But her question is how do I pronounce my name and that's a good question because I do have some letters that people outside of Scandinavia probably don't know how to pronounce. And my first name's pretty easy, that's just Alexandra for you who talk English, and I pronounce it as Alexandra. Then my middle name is, uh, the hard, hardest part of my name really because it's got these two letters that are native Scandinavian as said, and it's the ø, which is an o with a slash through it really, and then the å, which is a, which is an a with.. a circle above it, that was hard to pronounce, but anyway, and it's pronounced Løvås, or Lovas if you're a native English speaker. And then my last name isn't that hard but it's kind of hard-ish because it's Icelandic, and it's Kristinnsdottir, and it probab.., it basically means that I am the daughter of my father, cause it's got my father's name in it, and it says "blablablah's" daughter. Okay, and then we have augustfalcon's.. um, not so much a question as a request to cite something and it's a poem by e.e. cummings, and it's called "if everything happens that can't be done", and I've chosen the third stanza. And it gos lik dis.

now i love you and you love me
(and books are shutter
than books
can be)
and deep in the.. high that does nothing but fall
(with a shout
each
around we go all)
there's somebody calling who's we

And it's a pretty poem, um, it's got like five stanzas or six stanzas and it's a bit bizarre, but it's pretty. And then I'm gonna cite a classic Monty Python, um, quote from the intro from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and if you haven't seen that movie you should just drop everything you have in your hands and go see it right now because it's great. And the request came from schnee or how you pronounce it, I'm not sure, please tell me if I'm pronouncing it correctly because that's how it sounds in my head. And it's with Scandinavian letters, uh, the same as I have in my name, actually, so I'm just gonna try to pronounce it with a Norwegian accent, and it's gonna sound a bit weird. Ahem.

A Møøse once bit my sister ... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush givenher by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

And that is a really hilarious quote, and *snorts* if you haven't seen the movie, go see it right now, please please please, for your own educations sake. And then I was asked by silent_twin, or Loren, to cite something as well, and that is:

We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union...

Ask not what your country can do for, ask what you can do for your country!

And I'm guessing that's a military kind of thing, because I get this picture of Uncle Sam, the Uncle Sam poster, the classical one, uh, in my head. So yeeeeah, that was, uh, practially everything and I'll see you guys in written words later!"

I completely failed at citing without sounding all staccato and unsure, sorry about that. I also sound a bit weird at times, but I guess that's just because I'm sitting here and talking to myself, so it doesn't feel entirely natural.
