Conversation:
also, Hallgerður er tík og Jónas(Hallgrímsson) segir að Gunnar elski hana og ég skil það bara ekki... (also, Hallgerður is a bitch and Jónas [Hallgrímsson] says Gunnar loves her and I just don't understand it...)

no worries, most of us "young ones" nenna ekki að lesa sögurnar anyway (don't want to read the sagas anyway).

Some words were taken from conversations, some from a photo my friend took, and some from an article about the anniversary of a music place.
