When you plan on participating in the Accelerated Finnish Challenge?

If you only knew my inner struggle to avoid this cool challenge! However I'll just have to take a rain check this time, as the outlook for February is already cloudy with a chance of far too many projects. ;)

When you're the only person who can list all the languages you study, and even you might forget one if you don't refer to your profile here.

Grandma just told someone I'm learning Norwegian... um almost.

Yes, but someone once said that Danish is like speaking Norwegian with your mouth full, so Grandma isn't too far off. (oops, shouldn't say that here!) Maybe Grandma knows something you don't know about your future next language?

when your roommates come home with a new flavor bottle of vodka and say, "I'm looking forward to this". And you, being the lang nerd, think to yourself, I'm looking forward to my new "750 Verbs and How to Use them" book! :)

See, I thought you were going to write that you were looking forward to reading the foreign language writing on the bottle! You had me fooled. :)

ohhh that's complicated.
-i do aim to be able to read all three Scandinavian languages. in fact i do have a very small amount of Norwegian cards in my anki, less than in Dutch or Catalan
-I have a friend from Norway and she knows that. the cards are mostly her tweets, really :D
-she always took it seriously when I talked about my past life as a kid, I lived in a children's home in Denmark. she still takes it seriously. so it's weird to me how she doesn't realize how this sort of thing can be a reason to learn a language - well, she's far more sociable than me XDDD
