Well in that case, here's a tip and its of no charge to you. Usually people don't respond well to scowling money grubbers.

Well shit. What will I do, then? How will I go on if I can’t please everyone? I guess it’s probably a good thing that I couldn’t care less what people “respond” to. But thanks for the heads up, you truly are a gem.

Never really bothered with them, myths. Fairy tales told at bedtime to frighten little children. 

[lavudalle]

You don’t believe they have any reason or truth beneath them?

I read On the Road a couple weeks ago. That was pretty terrible. I’m halfway through Valley of the Dolls, which the jury’s still out on. Running With Scissors was pretty great. I recommend that one. And Wolf at the Table. Same guy.

[lavudalle]

Tell me how Valley of the Dolls fairs, if you remember. One of those titles stands out to me. I will have to check them out if I get the chance. It almost sounds like you might be a Sarah Vowel fan, if you’re reading list gets thin.

[gunnardown]

Aye. What’s got you so focused on norse shit? 

[lavudalle]

Some personal business has drawn me into myths, really. The norse shit is just what seemed to have stuck... 

[lavudalle]

I am curious. Do you do anything else besides whine about lousy tips?

No, not at all. My soul purpose in life is to complain about how little money I make. Do you do anything else but judge other people on their blog rants, per chance?

If I want books, I buy them. Libraries are too much pressure. I lose things under pressure. I might as well pay for it up front.

[lavudalle]

Noted. I tend to be a doodler and note-taker in the margins so you might have the right idea in this case. Any recommendations, stranger?

[andreashelfish]

Our library’s pretty big, too. I haven’t been since I was like 10, but it’s fancy.

[lavudalle]

Not much of a reader? Or you just have enough literature at home to satisfy your reading needs?

[lavudalle]

Slow spring day at Greene’s means I have nothing to do but play with these cameras.

interesting bedtime stories.

Bedtime stories are usually better if they don’t cause strange nightmares but you’re right, all the same.

[andreashelfish]

Yeah, it’s entertaining. Lots of incest, though. Which is weird. Yeah, my mom had a copy of the Book of the Dead. I know about the underworld stuff, how they would weigh someone’s heart, and if was heavier than a feather, they’d be eaten by this fat crocodile like creature named Ammit. 

[lavudalle]

Sounds entertaining indeed! Maybe I’ll actually have to get a library card...

[andreashelfish]

No, he just reminds me of someone I know. So it’s kinda funny. But okay, that makes sense now. Myths are cool. I really only know the Greek and Egyptian ones though.

[lavudalle]

I love Greek & Roman mythology as well. I know a little Irish mythology but that’s about as far as my knowledge extends. Egyptian mythology? What’s your favorite Egyptian myth? I’m curious as to what their myths are like...

[lavudalle]

I worked a short shift at Greene’s this Memorial Day morning but all I can think about are the wolves chasing Sòl and Màni in Norse Mythology. 

Sòl and Màni are the Sun and the Moon, constantly set in motion around the earth because they’re being chased by wolves. Night and Day would never come to by for the other side of the world because Sòl and Màni are basically lazy and won’t orbit on their own. They’re described to sit in chariots that are driven constantly around the earth, chased by two great wolves that constantly nip at their heels.

In the end, or Ragnarok, the beginning sign that the end of the world is coming is the moment the wolves finally catch up to the Sun and the Moon and eat them both, taking away both night and day. 

I dream about it now. A wolf, dark and driven, finally swallowing the great white moon that has evaded it and tormented it for so long. I catch myself doodling it consistently. My entire book is filled with doodles of these two wolves, forever chasing the sun and the moon. 

Then, their is the hellhound. I only dream of the Fenir Wolf the night before the full moon, when the hunger and hatred is almost too much...

[andreashelfish]

Him, I do know.

[lavudalle]

Right. It’s the muscles and the smile, I get it. Errr, yeah. The book is about him and other myths of his people. Norse mythology. I like myths. And yes, him.
