Yesterday i went to the library to get some background information for American Gods. I looked for something on norse mithology in the first place, and then maybe something native american and egyptian.
I scanned the two sections about "introduction to religions", and everything i could find in the norse/scandinavian/viking stuff were two books - one a practical guide for modern pagans, the other a big album full with whole-page photos. Nufffing else. No myths, no cataloge of gods, or rituals, nor anything about the Eddas, nothing. One shelf was half empty, so maybe someone took all the norse stuff and i just came in the wrong time, but hell. This was really annoying.
The egyptian books were all big ones or practical guides of how to use ancient wisdom in modern life, so i only took one about indians (the smallest and least flamboyant). Plus two more about them from the American history section i stumbled upon on the way out.

Ah and after that i spent the whole afternoon trying to make up my courage and telling my cousins i dont want to go out 'coz i dont have money and more importantly i've had enough in the last two weeks from crowds and loud pop music. I only managed to say i only go to the pub with them but not to the club after. I tried to explain why the prospect of disco music and dancing does not make me happy, i'm not sure they get it, but they were in a peaceful mood so i didn't have to start the "what about you going to really loud rock concerts 3 times in two weeks" thing, they just let me drink my beer and go home.
Life's hard.
