Space! The final...

[elaby]

I never thought I'd say this, but I really wish this paper didn't have to be double-spaced. I would be content to include every ghost story* people have told me and talk about them in connection with my focus on how they work in community-linked-to-identity. But if I put everything in that I think would be interesting and fruitful to talk about, my paper would be a bazillion pages long. I don't want to do that to my professor; he's a nice man.

I suppose having too much information is better than too little, though. I'll be singing a different tune one I start working on Sam Space and his body descriptors e_e

Moomintroll icons! I must make some of my own now! *bounces*


*My ethnography paper for Folklore is concerned with ghost stories and how they spread, are told, and function on a college campus.

Moomintroll icons! I must make some of my own

Ohh, now I am thinking it might be cool to have Mummenschanz icons...

(And I would probably be one of a small handful of people on my f'list who even know who Mummenschanz were...)

I have no idea, to say the least ^^;;

Now, THAT is a gorgeous paper topic. I mean, every campus has its resident spook(s). Maybe when it's all finished, you'd post a copy? Or I -guess- I could give you my e-mail to send it to me. I'd love to read it. :3

And I haven't a clue what a moomintroll is, but that's an adorable icon.

Hee ^_^ Sure! It'll be hooge, so I'll probably ask for your e-mail. It IS a fun topic! I'm glad you're interested :)

Moomintroll is a character from some Finnish children's stories that are apparently immensely popular over there (and in Japan, I hear, though I can't get ahold of any of the anime). They're SO cute, and charmingly translated into English.

Do you need to interview anyone for this topic?

[elaby.livejournal.com]

I've already gathered more than I think I can get into my paper, so I'm just working on writing it up now. I wish I'd had the time to interview you! Our professor kind of stressed that we had to talk to people we didn't know, so I tried to find some of those first and ended up getting too much information ^^;;

No problem. Who do you have? I did my Folklore class with Feintuch.

Yeah, that's who I have! He's really great. What did you do your ethnography project on, if you had to do one?
