Everyone thinks I am a dork, but I love Icelandic. I am infatuated with everything Icelandic. I don't know what it is, the language or the culture or what, but I want to be Icelandic. I want to go there and look at it's fjords and eat Icelandic candy while listening to Icelandic music. I can pass on traditional Icelandic food ;)
I am totally excited because I am taking an Icelandic class next semester and I can't wait! I have a dream that one day I will be able to write and speak fluently. I spent a lot of time today writing to my friends in Icelandic and it got me all excited because it reminded me that I only have a few more months before I will be doing all the time for class.
Anyway, I am super excited, that's all.
P.S. I am thinking of getting an Icelandic BOM. Am I ridiculous?

I happen to believe that having an infatuation with other cultures is totally healthy and should be encouraged. Of course, this is coming from someone who has an obsession with 2 or more cultures... so take that statement with a grain of salt.
I completely understand your obsession. Unfortunately, most people don't seem to get it, especially since it's Iceland. But we are going to have an amazing time in class next year, and I don't care how often people tell me it's a pointless language to learn.
I also find myself obsessed with Iceland...what's not to love? That's really cool that you are learning Icelandic--are you taking classes or just teaching yourself?
