It is. I grew up with horses, cats, rabbits and a dog, and I love them all dearly. The only con to having many animals, (as I understand you've experienced too) is that you experience many losses. Through the years we've lost 3 horses, two cats and a rabbit, and it's just as hard every time. I'm sorry for the losses, did you get them when you were older or what do you mean with the parentheses?

I know, I actually found out recently that there's even a name for those words! xD It's called Cognates. Haha, I actually have a whole long lost of languages I want to learn someday. I'm half Finnish, so I wanna learn Finnish, then I wanna learn, Japanese, French, Italian, Portuguese and German and maybe Mandarin. ^^'

I'm from the south of Sweden. (I wonder how much I'd understand of your German... Both are germanic languages after all.)

xD My little sister were browsing Tradera (which is like the Swedish version of eBay), she saw a figurine of Sailor Moon, became curious and looked it up, and found a video of the Swedish dub of it on Youtube (which is unusual, cause Sweden dubs almost NO anime at all. I think the only ones are Pokèmon, Sailor Moon's first two seasons, Yokai Watch and Glitter Force... And Ghibli movies of course, sigh), and then showed me. I think we watched the 2 first seasons of it over the course of four days! xD

Are you doing anything fun for the weekend? I'm going with some friends to see an event at a mall tomorrow. Have you heard about the celebration of Lucia before? Or Saint Lucy in English. It's a Swedish holiday celebrated the 13th of December, celebrating a (for some reason) Italian saint. Here's the Wikipedia page for it if you want to read about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy%27s_Day

It probably sounds pretty weird for non-Scandinavians who aren't familiar with it, but it's a wonderful and very atmospheric day, celebrating the light and family. I don't really know why we celebrate a Italian saint, but I like it very much. Anyway, me and my friends are going to watch a pre celebration of it and then shop for some Christmas presents.

So, what are you gonna do? Also, are you participating in MyAnimeList's secret santa?
