“Ein sat hon úti,
þá er inn aldni kom
yggjungr ása
ok í augu leit.
Hvers fregnið mik?
hví freistið mín?
alt veit ek, Óðinn!
hvar þú auga falt:
í inum mœra
Mímis brunni;
drekkr mjöð Mímir
morgin hverjan
af veði Valföðrs.
Vituð ér enn eða hvat?
Valði henni Herföðr
hringa ok men,
féspjöll spaklig
ok spáganda;
sá hon vítt ok um vítt
of veröld hverja.
Sá hon valkyrjur
vítt um komnar
görvar at ríða
til Goðþjóðar:
Skuld hélt skildi,
en Skögul önnur,
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul
ok Geirskögul;
nú eru talðar
nönnur Herjans,
görvar at ríða
grund valkyrjur.
Ek sá Baldri,
blóðgum tívur,
Óðins barni
örlög fólgin:
stóð um vaxinn
völlum hæri
mjór ok mjök fagr
mistilteinn.
Varð af þeim meiði,
er mér sýndisk,
harmflaug hættlig,
Höðr nam skjóta.
Baldrs bróðir
var of borinn snemma,
sá nam Óðins sonr
einnættr vega.
Þó hann æva hendr
né höfuð kembði,
áðr á bál um bar
Baldrs andskota.
En Frigg um grét
í Fensölum
vá Valhallar.
Vituð ér enn eða hvat?”

Lots of ways.

You can read and translate and speak a language which I hope to be able to do someday.

You make beautiful things (ex: Shirt) something that I lack the attention span for, I believe I still have several projects I started and sat down and never picked back up.

You cook yummy looking food, which I currently can't seem to handle without burning (I keep blaming it on the old stove so we shall see how it goes with the new kitchen)

You are beautiful, I love looking at your picture album you have going, I don't comment because I lack the spare time to do so but I look.

You are creative in ways that make me envious. I am currently starting work on Quest vest that is going to be all leafy for Oriana and I hope it turns out half as well as the clothing you make.

Just a few things :)

Well, by means of encouragement, I still mess up a lot when it comes to my projects--I swear, each project has to have one serious mistake and one drop of blood in it. I just work around the mistakes if I can, and play around with things until I like them. And I have occasionally burned dinner, or undercooked the chicken, or whatever. You just don't hear about that part on my blog. ;)
