Yeah, I get it could get really tiring and even maddening really fast. XD
My fascination with the Winter War began, of course, with the "OMG FINLAND IS SO AWESOME IT EVEN DEFEATED SOVIET RUSSIA" meme. XD But really, I wanted to see what the big deal really was - oh, and also I'm obsessed with Finland. Have I ever mentioned that? (Okay, I most probably did, knowing me.)
But anyway, I decided to stick around when I got to the less known, less heroic part of the story. Actually, I know a few basic things about the war tactis (read: "Seriously, didn't the Russians bother checking the weather or the territory? Man, Finnish guerrilla suonds awesome!"), but I got hooked on minor stuff like the way the war was portrayed by foreign press and weird stuff like the drug abuse in the Finnish army. Oh, and the sometimes-true-sometimes-not anecdotes, let's not forget those!
In my perfect little world, my ideal man would romance me with either Greek lyrical poetry or skaldic poetry. <3
(Or by talking Finnish to me, but, shh! That's just one of my oddest kinks. I still wonder why the heck I can't just find French and Spanish cute and sexy like everyone else ...)
