Here goes:
Q: do you feel the same about your Swedish self..? I.e. would you feelI don't, because I am Swedish. I can feel British but I'm not British! I think it's to do with living in London during my formative years and not having anyone my age to share stuff like TV programs-we-watched-as-kids, with. I can tell my Swedish friends about what was going on in my life but that's just anecdotes.
like starting a fejksvensk blogg..?
Does that make sense?
I wouldn't say I'd never find it meaningful to do a Fake Svensk (Swedish) blog but I just don't see it at this point in time.
Anyway, thanks for the attention and I'd love more questions like that because it helps me sort out why the heck I'm doing this :-)

I never thought that it was important to share things like TV-programs,having the same books in school,have bin told the same stories as a kid, listen to the same music and things like that before. But now, when I am groving older it really make sense.I often divide people in them who remember Radio Nord and them who were not even born then. I think this really is a sign that I am very old? :-)
I don't think it's about getting old, I think it's about what's important!
I think you are right! Perhaps we find out what´s really important when we are older and have learned a lot from life.
Seems to me that who/what you "identify with" as a young person is quite important as to who you think you are when you're first becoming an adult..also having others around you who understand these things/interests naturally socializes you within your peer group... I mean how could that not be the case..? Dunno know if that's helpful at all, but thought I'd throw it in here :)
