Yeah, I just can't stop playing Diablo 2. Although I haven't beaten it on Hell (I always grow weary before that), it's the kind of game that I'll pick up again at least once or twice a year, with some brilliant new skill combination idea, and play it intensely for a week or so.
Sweden right now is snowy and kinda cozy. The downside is the darkness; sun sets around two o'clock in the afternoon, so I really don't get that much daylight considering I work the nightshift.
Where in the US are you from?

From NJ, where everything costs a fortune. I always wanted to visit Sweden I hear your country in general is the most content with their lives. Wow 2 oclock thats so early! What about during the summer does it stay out extremely late? So i have an interest in religion, what are common practices in Sweden? I am Pagan, but I am definitely not the norm. Although we are on the rise. Any neat Yule/Solstice/Christmas practices? Sorry im so nosey, I am just very curious!

I'd say we have a pretty decent country here, yeah. Political power is rather well balanced between the many parties, so most people feel they have a say in things. We have a solid welfare system, too, even though the current government is upsetting things a little. We also have a very strong personal integrity movement.
In the middle of summer, it never gets dark at night here. It differs from where in Sweden you are, though. It's a very large country, and the southernmost parts are a lot more balanced when it comes to daylight.
Religion sure is interesting. Personally, I oppose all organized religions; I don't think people should need rules and boundaries to be good people. I'm a bit of a Pagan myself, and one of my favourite Swedish holidays is the Eve of Valborg's Mass. It's the last truly pagan holiday still left, when we light giant bonfires and sing in welcoming of spring. Resembles Beltane a bit, just a bit more child friendly. ;-) Also, Midsummer's Eve is another one which has a lot of old traditions attached to it, such as jumping over seven fences and picking seven flowers at midnight for your dreams to reveal your true love's face.
Christmas here is pretty much like in the US nowadays, except we aren't as extreme when it comes to spending, and most people still like to go to the countryside for the holidays. We have some odd practices before and after Christmas though, such as the celebration of the saint Lucia.
Sweden doesn't have a religion of state, but the most common one is still protestant Christianity. If you ask the typical Swede about their religion, they'd probably say "I don't believe in God, but I believe in a Higher Power." Very diplomatic. :-)
You say you're a Pagan; tell me more!

Wow, I see that Sweden is very similar to Alaska, well now that i think of that of course lol. You said a lot of people still like to go to the countryside? Is that because of family? Do most people have family in the country? Yes the US and our spending is horrible, and the stress is a lot for us around this time also because of the amount we are expected to spend. I probably drop about 1000k on xmas. We dont really have a lot of pagan traditions we celebrate here as a country. There are a lot of christian holidays which capture pagan traditions. I have been a practicing witch since i was about 13. It kind of just found me. I believe in an universal energy which flows through us all. Im not sure where i go from there. But by putting faces and masculine and feminine energies it becomes easier to connect with. I believe we created the gods in our image and not the other way around. But i do believe they are real entities...kind of confusing isnt it? I celebrate the 8 sabbats. Which are solstices and equinoxes, but since my family is primarily christian i also celebrate those holidays also. I am a solitary, which means for the most part im on my own, but i know the pagan community of NJ and different groups around here. I tend to hop back and forth and have made friends with everyone. I have two little girls, and I teach them to be careful who they tell about what I practice and our gatherings because society can be cruel and naive. I love being pagan because it isnt really an organized religion and we dont really believe in sins. Have you ever been to the United States? We have some beautiful places to visit. Ive never been outside the US but I hope to travel the world. We dont have a State religion either...but mostly christian, then prob catholic, then jewish....
I am so glad to have met you!
