Well. Just finished updating half the mesptlings. Will update the other half (ie the two in minas tirith) in a while. I have to do a few mamono posts.

Anyway. Enough about my RPs, back to me. I was supposed to run some errands today, but I'm just really nore in the mood. My body hurts and my mood is... well... not a happy one. I don't get it. I got lots of sleep. My body woke up on it's own, no alarm or anything. Still, I feel exhausted.

Mmn. I dunno. I guess I'll start cleaning my room today, once I'm done with m-g. And maybe make a few more icons and do a post. It's been a while. I've just been so busy &/or tired that iconness just has not been happening. Which is sad, as I have a lot of ideas for them, but not the energy to do them. (Let's just say there are many animated Gackt, Diru and gakuhai ideas residing in this mind of mine)

And in case I forgot to mention it earlier, thank you and much love to anyone who participated in the journal spamming yesterday. I wish my LJ was always that active. It was fun. Though yesterday's stuff was all really rather silly, too. I would love to have insightful, intellegent conversations in that format as well, someday, but alas I draw only lunatics to myself. Still, I love all of you, my kooky crazy friends.

And I am now determined to pick up enough German to have short conversations with you. lol >.> I am such a whore for learning language.

*blush* ...only for me, you wanna learn German o^-^o
...anô, are you sure you don't have a fever... *g*
No matter who I talked to, all who tried to learn this language, said that they don't get it (esp. Japanese people have problems, because in German we have 3 definite article and they don't know which one belongs what -because there's no scheme)

I would like to know so many languages esp. Mandarin, Korean and Spanish ... but I guess, I'll never learn one of those -.-

Ah, yes, but I'm starting from English. It's one of the languages most similar to German. (Because of the anglo-saxon roots, ne?) The rhythm of speech for both is sort of square, and there are many words that are very close. Not to mention that English also uses many German expressions. (even if I can't spell them)

The fact that I've been exposed to quite a bit of German because of my music classes could also help. There were a lot of famous German/Austrian composers, you know. Vienna was the center of the classical music universe. (And a place I would love to visit someday)

Perhaps we could both discover vienna, because to my shame, I've never been there >.<* I've only passed it by about 7 times, when I need (gosh, what's the past tense of need ?.?) to go to "Eisenstadt" where ani studied for five years...

One thing, I still wonder about is ... why do people say "kindergarten". Because it is a German word. I mean, they even didn't changed Garten to garden o.o mhhhh....

Same reason we say things like "Gusenteik" (pardon my spelling >.o it's sort of phonetic-ish) and "blitzkrieg" and, in the music business "singspiel". English is built from stolen and modified words in other languages.

And that'd be so cool to meet you at the same time as exploring Viena. o.o If only I had the money. :\ Or a passport, for that matter.

^^ mhm, so there are more such words ...
well, German too, has lots of words "stolen" from English (esp. teenagers like to use engl. words because they think it sounds "cool" so they all mix it up .-. exemple:" Als ich mir neulich den neuen song von xyz geburned hab, da hab ich erst gecheckt, dass ich zu meinem malheur gar nicht genug cash hatte, um meinen Kumpel dafür zu entlohnen" *German-Gangsta-Slang* XD), French...
