Next day is the Japanese final, followed 24 hours later by the Chinese final (which I get to take on my 21st birthday wooo ; ;). Fortunately I won't have anything the day after my birthday, so I can do whateeeeeever I want. >:3

Cerberus.Irohuro said: what is your major anyways carr?~ I'm a double major in French and Asian Studies. The French major is a bunch of lit and papers, which I hate. .__.
Asian Studies is admittedly kind of a ridiculous major because of how broad it is - encompassing the history, culture, and languages of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, etc. I'm only focusing on China and (more recently, to a lesser extent) Japan, but because there are only minors offered for those, I ended up in Asian Studies with a Chinese minor. XD Chinese and Japanese are the only fun classes I get to take anymore; the rest is a vast sea of depressing French literature about starving orphans and greedy old antisemitic men.

i'm sorry for you (about the french major)
honestly if i could afford to go to one of the more expensive universities i'd major in linguistics (concentration in historical).
the evolition of language families and the dialect continuum between certain languages is so incredibly fascinating!

Something I've always wanted to study too. :D I just have too much fun in actual languages courses to do anything else though. XD I'm only in French lit because there's nothing left to do but study literature after you already speak the language (my depressing situation since high school XD). Also French was the first foreign language I ever studied, so it would feel weird not to major in it. Shame I'm not into non-creative writing. x__x

It is a little confusing sometimes when I get drunk - I kind of lose control of which language I'm speaking. <__< Most of my friends are at least bilingual though so usually someone will understand lol

Yeah... me and my friends noticed that taking more than 1 language at a time gets confusing especially when one language has a better word to describe something and you just end up mixing a different language in without noticing lol

Really? I've never had any problem except when you only know one word in one language and not in another, but that's no different than just studying one foreign language and not knowing the word.

i sometimes mince words with swedish and english (or whatever language im learning at the time and english).
the first language i tried learning was actually korean, i was in 7th grade and we had geography class, and when we got to asia, a korean woman came in to speak, and spoke a little on the language. taking about how it had a similar number of letters as english, and that got me interested. i found an amazing site that had a large amount of korean lessons (also lessons on teaching how to read russian and greek).
next was russian, because my syster had t.A.T.u.'s first CD, and it had two bonus tracks in russian, and i was curious to how they were read.
so i went back to that site, and to this day i can still read the russian alphabet thanks to it. (as for language lessons, i got the book teach yourself russian, teach yourself is my favorite language learning series btw).
after that i found word2word.com and things got crazy from there lol

I just have the occasional slip when I'm reading Japanese and try to read all the kanji in Chinese. XD

The only problems I have now with other languages after majoring in Chinese is that they're just overly complicated ._.;
I'm trying to learn Irish since it's supposedly the biggest ethnicity in my ancestry and all the ***is just tiring. Subject/Object pronouns with two forms each, and all this verb conjugation and junk that I know how to do since it's all characteristic in other language systems I've been exposed to, but I'm just too tired/lazy to do it now.

Heh, that's only a problem if I don't already know the word, or else I can read it normally.
How far are you in jp/chn btw?

yeah it's stupid, especially if you don't have someone to hear it being spoken all the time. (I presume you're talking about scottish gaelic though)

in english they're more commonly differentiated by irish (irish gaelic) and gaelic (scottish gaelic), so when you said gaelic I assumed you meant scottish gaelic.
Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
