So dope!!! I’m sure it will be a great read, I look forward to it!

For the Ancient Author Ask: Pop tarts

While I was in that land, I was given a kind of cake to taste, heated and puffed with air, with a strange, sweet filling. Politely, I ate, as I did not want to offend my host. But with every bite I questioned what I was eating. The cake had no flavor, but the filling was sweeter than anything I had tasted before. And they eat these things for pleasure!

Okay question time: (1) Best academic online journal site, I'm wondering if Jstor, Plusone, or Nature has got your goat. (2) What is an ancient language you would love to be proficient in? (3) Have you ever worked with manuscripts? (4) Is it true Archaeologists really have the most parties and have a lot of fun? (5) Big bodies yay or nay?

Answer time!

1) I don’t really feel like I’m beholden to any particular site. I tend to root through things to find individual articles that I need and then go from there.

2) I would love to master Old Welsh. I think that the evolution of the language into what it is now would be really interesting to track in relation to the influences of colonialism and religion. Bonus points for finding the original character system (if there was one) that was used before the church brought in the Latin alphabet.

3) I don’t know if you could call them manuscripts, but I have worked with historical documents from the archives of my university. Most of them were less than a hundred years old.

4) Yes, we absolutely cut loose at parties. Archaeologists are a special brand of crazy, and when you combine that with alcohol you get a truly wild ride.

5) Of course yes to bog mummies! I don’t body shame!

Oh, well that's reasonable and helpful actually! I just, meant that while it's totally fine for people to not follow me (heck for any reason) I'd like to not be wrongly labeled as being a neo-nazi, since I'm not. I mean, my main grad school research is on marginalized representation in icelandic sagas and how it disproves radical neo-nazi contemporary heathen doctrine and their shite, so hah. BUT! I totally think this blog is a heaven-sent (Valhalla-sent? lol)!

Folkvang-sent, perhaps? We are valkyrie, after all. ;)

And yeah, that’s a totally legit thing to make sure people know that you’re not a neo-nazi of any variety.

Also, as a side note: I would personally be super interested in reading your thesis if/when it becomes available. For what that may be worth.

Have you ever gone into the woods and like looked for monsters or folktale creatures? Have you ever ate breakfast for dinner? Have you ever spiked your coffee or tea?

Yeah totally. I was always looking for dragons when I was a kid.

Cereal is delicious no matter what time of day it is. So it butter toast.

lol yeah. Spiked coffee with coffee flavoured vodka. And I did that at 6am before I went off to college, for months. People fuck you up, man.
