This is my dangly thing. ^__^

Cars used to intimidate me, but I've been driving for ten years now, so they don't intimidate me anymore. ^^; Teenage girls I just want to stab with one of my knives. >.>;

I took two semesters of Japanese. One day I'll go back to learn more, once I can afford it again. ^^
(Korean? Do you speak Korean too? Have you read Demon Diary / Diary of a Demon King?)

^__^ It is a very cute dangly thing. *pets* It's a good luck charm- literally translated it's a "Serenity/Peace Charm"... which is lovely. :)

:) I've heard of Demon Diary, but never actually read. I know a little Korean, but I'm fluent. >.< *blushes* I'm getting around to learning it. But I want to learn French as well this year, so it will take a little time. Japanese is a lovely language... but it's so POLITE. =.=;; Learning different word forms for everything is so... um... well I'm glad I just say "Thanks" in English.

Teenage girls are stupid in general. As a teenager I tended to listen to classical music and read books though. :p Was promptly labeled a dork.

Yay for good luck charms! ^__^ Serenity and peace are good. ^.^

I love Demon Diary, but because it's Korean and not Japanese, I can't research it very well. :( Very frustrating. Japanese things I like, I can look on Yahoo!Japan for posters and books and things. But I don't even know if Korea has an auction site...

Heh, so if Japanese is so different, how does one speak politely in Chinese?

I was a bookworm, which is about as bad as a dork. I spent a lot of time in the library. ^^;

Peace, I can master. But since I am mildly hyper... I'm still working on the serenity thing.

... I have no idea either. ^__^;; I go to Korea just to visit my grandparents you see; they're very very old now and I try to visit them as often as possible.

Umm... Chinese is also kinda hard... since there isn't an alphabet exactly. It's basically just memorizing a lot of different characters.

*squees and hugs fellow bookworm* I had a private mini-library when I was 13-14 or so... I still remember bowing down before my Shrine Of Tolkien (which I still have, incidentally).

*laugh* I'm usually only hyper when I've had a lot of sugar. ;)

Your grandparents are in Korea? Cool. o.o

So, are there different characters for polite words, or is that done in a different way? *curious*

*lmao* Oh, when I moved (twice) I had more boxes of books than I had of clothes. It was funny. Every time, I had to give away books, and I still had more books than anything else!

There was this caffeine measuring site (for fun) that said I was "near death" even though I didn't have ANY tea or coffee at all. :p
In Japanese, there are several different ways to say everything.
Such, "desu" becomes "de gozaimasu", when extra politeness is wanted/needed.
Then different characters are needed to form the words. Unlike Chinese though, Japanese have an alphabet. In fact they have SEVERAL. =.=;;

In Chinese there is much less.. in fact the only one I can think of is:
mmm goi (phonetic Cantonese)/ bu gai (phonetic Putonghua) is "thank you" when someone helps you (means "you shouldn't have"). do ze (p. Cantonese)/ duo xie (p. PTH) is when someone gives you something (means "many thanks"). :)And they have totally different characters.

Books are more important than clothes. In fact if I had to choose between Tolkien and Gucci... I would choose Gucci, sell it off, and use the money to get Tolkien. :D

I know two of the Japanese alphabets. ^.^ Just have to start studying again so I can learn the hard one. ;)

Huh. So what's Putonghua? o.o; Do they still use Mandarin, or is it all Cantonese now?

I wasn't impressed with Tolkien, myself. The man is an incredible worldbuilder, but his actual writing is very dry. x.x I have a lot of Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, and Piers Anthony books. :)

:D I only know one myself, since I just started learning this month.
PTH is the chinese way of saying Mandarin. ^__^ Sorry, am way too used to calling it PTH. Hong Kong is very very close to Canton province, and most of the people use Cantonese (is the biggest dialect, and older than PTH). In the mainland PTH is used most, but here in the HK Special Administrative Region (HKSAR for short), Cantonese is used the most, although many people know at least a little English.

I was very impressed with Tolkien myself- for me, his style of writing is actually very appealing. He's still my favourite author of all time bar none. Ah well, to each their own. :)
