Maybe. It's a thing I've been thinking about a lot. Firstly I don't really like my names- I like my first one - because I'm named after an Astrid Lindgren charachter who grows up and realizer her father is a kind of a dick. And she also runs away into the forest. It is way to apropriate. However my first name by itself is uniqe in Sweden since it's dubble barreled. And then one of my middle names is litteraly "fathersname"daughter islandic style. I have a super, mega terrible relationship with him. (Ronia the Robbers Daughter is the book by the way.) As I've mentioned earlier I have quite controlling parents, be home at 10, always answer your phone, who are you talking with, who is he/she, I will take out my shotgun when you bring a guy over, you look like a... well it's not apropriat to call your daughter that, you should wear skirts to you ankles kind of controlling. Yeah. As such a lot of the themes of my writing are about choseing your family, non-blood-bonds that are more important than blood ones, female friendship, .etc. And I would be very identifiable. I think you can see where this is going. WARNING LONG RANT ABOUT THING I AM WRITING The thing I'm working on now (at the outline stage) is under the working title of "Battered Womens Social Club" about four women who are married to four brothers of a rich-ish clan. And these four men are terrible abusive husbands. And on a moosehunting trip in winter (super mega illiagal) the four women are snowed in in a cabin together. They are friends before this and look out for eachother but now they are stuck alone together and have to survive. And then the terrible husbands don't come and it's cold and they are running out of firewood and the snow keeps falling on the not-that-structurally stable cabin. So they go to find the husbands all four of them. Rebecca the young secod wife of one of the men. She is 20 years old and they've been married for two years, the first wife is not spoken of. She is maybe the most anive of the women. Catharine the olderst of the wives who is quite protective the other women and very reckless with herself. She gives the others makeup tips and examines wounds so they aren't to bad. Laura who used to be a wildlife biologist and actually studied moose population. Has a hunting licence that she had to get for shooting and sedating animals. Is the only woman who has children and is very protective of them (they're with their nanny in stockholm during this trip). Theodora used to be a laywer in a succesful firm. She is very no-nonsense about most things and very pragmatic. So they bringa gun for protecting against bears and moose and just stuff 'cause it's dark and scary and so much snow. And then something goes terrible wrong and one of the terribe husbands iis shot maybe dead. And Laura fired the gun she was carrying. And all four women get in the car and drive back to Stockholm. And wait for the police to arrest them. But the men deside to handle it the family way since !. they weren't hunting legally, 2. They were super drunk 3. Laura may not actually have shot the guy so they might be keeping it quiet since it was a genuine alcohol induced accident. And then some other stuff will happen. Outline stage.
Anyway - thats the kind of subject I like to write about - so... Publishing a book about that kind of thing might not go down well with my family. So... Maybe?
My mom would though! But on the subject of writing - In six grade my wonderful swedish teacher told us all to write a nocel. We were all going to do this. I had had an horible teacher before - think the trunchbull - and I had stood up to her very effectivly. Because if there is one thing I do well it's dealing with emotionally abusive idiots. And I got the respect of the whole class. Because I didn't but up with Miss. Trunchbulls shit. And one girl in my class read Matilda and told me I was Matilda. Which is the nicest thing someone has ever said to me - for many reaons. I could write a ton about Matilda and some day I proably will but - My new wonderful Swedish teachers got two students writing about a teacher killing her students. Like, I wish I still had the thing I wrote and if I find it I am translating it into English, imporving it a bit and giving you some commentary about who the diffrent events is a sartirical commenbtary about events at my school because I was one hilarious 11 year old. And my Swedish teacher sat down and probably took a glass of wine and thought - how horrible of a teacher am I? Am I this terrible? And then she asked about it and I explained that no - you arne't and found out I wasn't the only one writing a revenge fantasy. Another guy from m class. I'm amybe going on a date with him. We had a very suggestive facebook chat yesterday. And I could write a very long thing about circle of abuse and shit but eugh... SometÃmes you ust want to go on a date with a guy you've known since you were 6 and not worry so fuckin much! Woo!
Thank you! On a side note, wonder how people would feel if I started measuring time in BS and AS. (Before Sappho and after Sappho)
And she also runs away into the forest. It is way to apropriate.
And I can overstate how well known this story is in Sweden. The ER nurse was like "Ronia the robbers daughter?" and like veryone knows the story. EVERYONE. I'll see if I can find it online in English because holy shit did they give me a fitting name. Haha, like the whole community searched for me that night.It was pretty damn hilarious to see pictures on facebook of a clear starry night afterwards from like my whole timeline. Also I'm pretty sure I inadvertenly scarred a five year old for life - my chemistry teacher who had a five year old daughter had told her that a girl in her chemistry class had ran away and got the point of "and then she took of her shoes..." when the five year old ran away and cried and was probably very horrified that her mother would tell her about a girl freezing to death. Leaveing her mother to hurry to assure her that I had survived. Ah. fond memories. Appertly there is an anime. I will find this anime and I will watch it.
