Mood swings, adventures in pronunciation, and harmonicas

[yuuago]

✿ I've been having mood swings all day. There's no explanation for it, and the only conclusion I can come to is that two days home away from work is enough to drive me nuts. My family, I tell ya', they're enough to make anybody loony.

✿ I finally managed to settle down for some studying. Mostly working on small vocabulary. Numbers, that kind of thing. And pronunciation. I swear, I'm going to keep banging my head against it until it sticks. I'm finally on my way toward not mixing up the difference between the way a and ä sound (umlauts aren't there for decoration!) but that's actually only because of, er, something I will never forget about Estonian language (the Estonian word for "two", kaks, sounds kind of like the English word cocks... and the sound in Finnish for kaksi isn't much different). Well, whatever helps, I guess. orz

✿ I have now heard (well, read) someone say that giving a blowjob is similar to playing a harmonica. I don't think I will ever look at my harmonica the same way again. (Though I will say that I'm pretty sure the person making that comparison has never played a harmonica, because uh... it's really... it's not much like that and er I'm just going to be quiet now)

✿ Finally, we went out and bought me a replacement hat. It's not much like what I wanted (I wanted something made in Canada, damnit, and coyote or beaver rather than rabbit fur because it holds up better) but, well, it's not a bad hat. At least it's the right style: full-fur and boxy.






So, there we go. That's... that's it for now, I think. Considering this entry has been kind of (well, a lot) ridiculous.

(Man, I feel like an idiot. I will possibly regret this silly entry in the morning.)

Yuu why are you so adorable, Yuuuuuuu

[yuuago]

I don't know what you're talking about!

Thank youuuu

I'm glad you finally found time to study. (Haha, now I have to get back on it or you'll get ahead of me!) Let me know if you find a trick to remember u, y, and ö, 'cause they still all register the same way in my head.

And that hat looks so soft! *A* And cute.

[kainoliero.livejournal.com]

Hm, don't know if this helps, but u can never be paired with y, ä or ö in a word that's not a compound word. E and i play with everyone, a, o and u / ä, ö and y only like each other (and e+i).

Likewise, you can pair up the vowels: a+ä, o+ö, u+y.

[diplopod.livejournal.com]

Oh, vowel harmony! I know about that! It's the pronunciation that gets me. I can never remember which one make which sound because they all sound the same to me.

[yuuago]

I still have problems with ö, can't quite get the hang of that one.

Argh, u and y. I have problems with it too. 8| Like, I usually remember what y sounds like, but I have trouble remembering u, except that "it sounds different than y". Sometimes it helps if I remember how it sounded when a friend of mine tried to pronounce "Yuu" with Finnish pronunciation in a recording, buuuut usually I forget it.

We can almost be hat-buddies! Mine's the same style as yours, just different animal. :D

I swear, if I had got my morning coffee yet I would have painted Snu's screen at the comment about blowjobs = playing harmonica. I'm still trying to figure out what it means. You give a blowjob by blocking wrong holes with your tongue and breathing in through the right? Rest assured if anyone did to my harmonica anything resembling a blowjob I, I, I, I WOULD LET THEM KEEP IT. Yes.

[yuuago]

I WOULD LET THEM KEEP IT - Same here, seriously. The thought of someone abusing it like that is just... BUH why would someone even think it's similar.

(Wait a second -- I don't think I knew that you play! If it'd been mentioned, I'd forgotten)

[kainoliero.livejournal.com]

I can also make croquembouche.

[cher-arlequin.livejournal.com]

I am going to steal that hat from you. /grabby hands

[yuuago]

Ffff NO STEALING IT. Not until winter is over, anyway!

[thelastfruit.livejournal.com]

you're so adorable ngl

[yuuago]

Am not!
But I'm glad you think so.

[gluecookie.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I've never really thought of kaksi in that sort of way before...

... also, you've probably heard this before... but you look cute!

[yuuago]

Clearly your mind has been opened to a new and terrible concept. ;)

And ahhh if you say so, thank you <3

giving a blowjob is similar to playing a harmonica
Trying to figure out if the person had never given a blowjob or had never played harmonica.

Also, this thought process:
1) Whoa, Yuu is blond?! Huh.
2) SHEIK.

[yuuago]

My bets are on never playing a harmonica, just 'cause it seems more possible to me, but WHO KNOWS.

Also-
1. Well, what did you expect? ;)
2. NOOOOO now I want to play that time-sucking game again ;3;
