I managed to guess what the first sentence would mean :D And a few other really obvious words. I take it that funny love child between a "p" and a "b" = "th"? yes okay that's a bit obvious Now I resemble those kids who spell Preuben when referring to Preußen just a little bit less. That 3 in knight throws me off, still. What's that supposed to sound like?
Now, in regards to Old English : what the hell.. Hurr, well, if anything at least now I see how English is a Germanic language?? (I mean, now that I see what it originated from? i would explain myself as to how it's reminding me of it but I don't know enough about language to explain myself here and I would end up looking like more of an idiot than this very long run on sentence is already making me look as this is seriously not my area of expertise orz) That æ has always thrown me off, it looks like two letters smushed together, not just one word. ð looks a bit like dynamite. Ahh I'm trivializing this, aren't I? Sorry D: Anything involving the way language works was never, ever my forte. And I'm not even talking about just learning about them.
How does it sound spoken? Accent, pronunciation and all. I mean, if you're able to explain it.
Hah, we read Animal Farm for school in grade nine, same year we learned about the Soviet Union (this was actually pretty cool). And then I read Fahrenheit 451 earlier this year it's a really short read, I don't think it's even 200 pages?) It's strange for people to look down on others for not having read those things though, when whole lot of those people wouldn't have ever read those books themselves if it wasn't for the English curriculum during their school years.
AND I THINK I KNOW WHAT COMMENT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? I remmeber someone saying that to someone who didn't know who Giles Corey (?) was, and apparently he's from this movie and I saw that and I was a bit ticked because I'm pretty sure he had to do something with America's early days. In other words, you probably would have never heard of him unless you're American. We make fun of that kind of attitude a lot on the meme, but apparently there are still some people who assume America = the world :| Okay, most of the people on the meme are from there but still. . . .maybe you were talking about something else.
Aww, that sucks :( Maybe one day you'll find her again, you never know~ maybe she's got a devart or a domain that you'll just magically stumble upon.
alsdjflsakjf they're so adorable. Why are all foreign fans so adorable, I don't even -- buddy I'm always logged in. Like the fifth reply I gave to you on here was almost a deanon aah.
I don't think I could cosplay? I don't know, I like reading about costuming and looking at it and designing it but I'm not so into the actual dressing up (and I hate having my picture taken, I cannot emphasize this enough). Not to mention my sewing skills are pathetic, if not nonexistent (in CTS class we had to make a pair of pajama pants. Simple enough, everyone could do it but I managed to turn mine in some giant big tube. I can't even sew two pieces of cloth together right). It is really tempting though, especially when you're looking through all those photo shoots. My one friend went to one a few days ago and she wrote this huge post about it and she sounded like she had the time of her life (it was in Edmonton, so close, but so far. . .) I don't know who I'd play as though, the last look-alike thread everyone told me I'd be Hungary but arghh that's so obvious and everyone goes as her anyways. deep in my heart I would want to go as Denmark or Turkey or something.
I should add that if I wanted to cosplay I couldn't do it at the regular old comic con over here cause I'd be going with my buddy and he would shake his head in shame if he saw what my ~secret internet life~ brought me too :') That and the cosplay thing isn't so big at that one. Maybe at the anime con, here.
Is there a place you can request ideas to LJ? Cause I hate not being able to browse more than one tag at a time, too. I'm thinking about how much easier life would be if we could do that, and I now find myself in a state of pure dreamy bliss.
