I feel like this story sums up something about my life, I’m not sure what though

“In elementary school people saw each other at school. You went to each other’s houses after school. That was it, no one ever talked on the phone until like the later grades. And I was horrible on the phone, I was so nervous. And then I remember I once called my friend, worked up the courage to call my friend. A really good guy friend [not a girl]. And I said ‘hello’ and he said, ‘Hey’….I was like, ‘Wow. He is SO COOL on the phone’. It never occurred to me to be casual on the phone.”

“The Yule Lads, or Yulemen, (Icelandicjólasveinarnir or jólasveinar) are figures from Icelandic folklore who in modern times have become the Icelandic version of Santa Claus. Their number has varied throughout the ages, but currently there are considered to be thirteen.”

Some examples:

Bjúgnakrækir= Sausage-Swiper — Would hide in the rafters and snatch sausages that were being smoked. 

Gluggagægir= Window-Peeper — A voyeur who would look through windows in search of things to steal.

Askasleikir = Bowl-Licker — Hides under beds waiting for someone to put down their ‘askur’ (a type of bowl with a lid used instead of dishes), which he then steals.

I Love these guys!
