Oh thank you, most people don't notice it or maybe just don't mention it.
Hindi is such a beautiful written language. Every letter is like a little drawing.

I'm not quite as fond of Hindi, the language or its script, but I don't think that's anything to do with the language itself as with being forced to learn it in school, and a lot of people taking this annoying linguistic chauvinistic attitude of, it's necessary to know the language and it's the 'national' language because it's the language of the majority.

It takes like, SO much longer to write in it than in English, lol.

Yes I have seen it written out and I find it beautiful, but then I don't have the history you have with it. I can admire it without having stressful thoughts of it.
I used google translate, I am not fluent at all in Hindi.

Yeah I can understand how you feel when I imagine looking at it as purely a language, just the words, letters and their meaning and no context, personal or cultural... that may not be entirely possible but I can imagine it ^_^

Its like with me and Spanish. I am bi-lingual, and don't find Spanish as romantic as others do.

I see.

Do you dislike it though, or are you indifferent, or you like it and you just don't feel about it the way it's made out to be?

For me its natural to speak Spanish, so it is what it is, for people they are amazed when they hear me all of a sudden switch from English to perfect Spanish!

That's nice o3o

I'll tell CycloneKira about it, she's learning conversational Spanish so she might like to talk to you.
She hasn't been on here in a while but I'll drag her back when she has summer break 'cause it'll be around the same time that I do :D

I have helped a few people with Spanish.
It is harder than you would think, unless you just immerse yourself in a culture that only speaks Spanish,then you tend to learn fast.

I see.

I think the learning much faster when you immerse yourself where it is spoken is true of all languages probably.

Yes absolutely, but I know some people that are just 'language' people and can speak many languages w/o being immersed in the culture, but that is a rare and special case. But any language you don't use regularly you would become rusty in I think, so yeah...

Well, hello. I'm merely dropping in to say that.

Hello Lav! I'm so glad you stopped in.
Hope you are well, and come back soon!

Things have went a bit awry, but that's life. How about you?

Life goes awry every so often, doesn't it?
I am doing well, been reading a lot. I just feel like I need to be alone a lot more lately and reading is the perfect way to keep yourself company.

I forgot about my books. I got really into reading again, and forgot about them. I guess I needed some lighter entertainment. I was reading the autobiography of Dora Maar, one of Picasso's lovers and a photographer.

That is an interesting book you are reading. I have been reading mostly fiction lately. I have a few non-fiction books I want to get into. I am on a quest this year to read a lot of the books I already own. I have 22 fiction to get through, non-fiction I don't really keep track of because I use most of them as resources for the different topics i am "studying".

I read a Frida Kahlo biography before that. I like knowing about the lives of creative people like that. I have a ton of books to go through... It's daunting.

Me too. This month I read 9 books, just trying to plow through my books, but seriously I have enough books to read for the next 5 years I don't need to buy any more. I get into a reading jag when that is all I do. I have been reading fiction lately, but I read a lot of non-fiction too.

I like books about the spiritual side of life.

I'm lucky school made me read most of the classics, so I can focus on fantasy, science fiction and whatever got left out. I used to read around 9 books a month, too. I should get back into that.

I just read a syfy book that I really liked called The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber. I also read Hyperion by Dan Simmons, also syfy that I thought was very good.

I've also read lots of classics due to school.

Name some syfy books that you've read and really liked. I'm always looking for recommendations.

I can't think of any. I'm sorry. I've had this one called Space Music for maybe 10 years, and never got to reading it. It's amazing how humans, or maybe just I, work.

I remember having this old school nerd math tutor. He was a nerd before computers and video games. He had stacks of fantasy and science fiction books. I've wanted to read them all, but the first one I borrowed I somehow lost. That really makes no sense, since I take care of borrowed things. It was there one day, and gone the next. Oh, he was mad..

I bet he was mad! That is why I don't borrow books, I am always afraid of something happening to it. I don't lend books either unless I care nothing about the book I'm loaning out. My non-fiction I underline in and write in them so I can't lend them out because of that.

Did you ever read Dune? I read it a long time ago, I was thinking of rereading it.

After that and an incident of one of my prized books vanishing, I don't loan nothing besides money if I don't ever want to see you again. It's the best way to get rid of someone.

I did read it a while ago. I was so fascinated by their glowing blue eyes and the worm. The worm is the spice!

I saw your raccoon video, by the way. She was so cute.

What a funny raccoon right? I couldn't believe it. I got a bobcat too
Im just going to fill that channel with game camera videos. hahaha

I might read Dune again, I really didn't care for it, I'm hoping that age has made me more interested in it.

Yeah lending money is a good way to get rid of someone!

I'm tempted to set out a camera on my balcony and one in the yard to our house, but there's also the idea of what if I do catch something on it, and... I already have too many weird experiences.

Back in the day, my mother had a perfume called Dune. I always tried to steal it because I thought it was from the book. Also, if I had pieced together than the spice is similar to cinnamon... No, I wasn't young. I'm just like this.

Yeah, the other day I was looking at weird stuff caught on game cameras, and I was getting creeped out, but some of them were obviously set ups, people messing around, but still it was creepy.

My mother had a perfume called Joy. I loved smelling it, I have always loved perfume. My favorite scent is Opium and Armani Code

There's a lot of fake videos of UFOs, creatures, ghouls and goblins, and technology allows people to get creative, but I'm sure a tiny fraction of it is real.

My mother had Opium. My first perfume was Blue Jeans by Versace. I went in to try it again, get another bottle, it smelled nothing like it. I'll always remember the smell.

I wish perfume bottles weren't mostly spray. It is hard to put the right amount on, I prefer to be able to tilt the bottle. How I usually put my perfume on is I spray it on my wrist then touch my wrist to each side behind my ear. I guess that is the best way, otherwise I smell like a cheap tart.

Yeah there is so much fake stuff out there, some of it, like you said, has to be true tho.

That bothers me, too, but also because perfume bottles are pretty, and, let's face it, a good part of the price is the bottle design, and the spray mechanic makes the bottle unusable after. Sure, you could cut the top and make a little vase, but I got nothing to cut glass with.

I'd like unicorns to be real, because I'm still 5 years old.

I totally agree! Some perfume bottles are so beautiful, yet once empty they are useless unless you have a tool that can cut glass.

Psssst: I have a secret to tell you. Unicorns are real, they were and still are around, they are magical creatures that vibrate at a high level, that is why we can't see them. (Don't tell anyone! Shhhhhhh)

I'm right there with you, 5 is a good age. We should all be magical.

India makes amazing perfume bottles you can reuse later. The bottles look like something out of a fairy tale.

You know, I do believe our human perception is limited. I wonder what all we don't see. I often wonder how many more colours are out there.

A "friend" gave me final proof he's no friend of mine. That's something that always makes me unhappy, no matter how many times it happens. Essentially, he gave me solid proof that he's all about using a person, without giving anything back.

I did not know that about Indian. I am totally fascinated with Hinduism, and how beautiful their temples are.

We see just a small amount of things in the world. The things we see are things that have a low vibration (a table, a chair, each other). The higher the vibration the less we can see. I have seen an elemental, it was on a rainy day and it was shaped like an elongated orb and it was shiny golden, shimmering and it ran across my yard to underneath the back deck. It was beautiful. That area in the videos I posted is pretty magical. But we have had so much rain that the activity has died down. Have not been able to get any more elementals on video.

Friends ? ugh! I think its not that people are not good I think its they can't fulfill their karmic roles in our lives. People who "use" others are very unaware of themselves or the fact that we are all One. I just had a friend makes plans with me only to ignore my texts as to what time, because he had accepted a "better offer" I expressed my displeasure then just let it go through meditation. The thing is, he is who he is, he can't give what he doesn't have. I too feel he is no friend of mine, and will totally step back. The Univiverse takes care of those situations for us.

India is... amazing, I don't know what else to say. I found that you can get amazing things from India for very little money.

I've been binge-watching Star Trek for that very reason. Though I'm pretty convinced we need to get to know our world first before we can move on to space exploration.

I've gotten good at doing my nails. I thought I'd share that. I bought these eye lid tapes that don't work on me, and I figured out I can use them on my nails, instead.

I've made three "friends" recently. One thinks he's the only one going through things, only one who had a horrible time in high school... I just don't have time for that level up head-up-assery. Another lied through his teeth about everything imaginable, and the third is the one who won't let you talk about anything, but will ask for a favour, then drop you.

I believe that there's a good person inside everyone, but the world is so chaotic that people get lost so deeply. I guess people are slowly coming around.

India I would never visit, but admire from afar.

Love Star Trek and OMG I just did my toenails with glitter nail polish using a sponge! Saw a tutorial on youtube. When the sun hits them my toenails explode with light!!!

I am weaning myself of friends that just use me to vent, to complain blah blah blah. Except for one friend that I love like he is my son, I can never leave him.
I can't help if someone doesn't want to be helped or take my advice. It hurts that I can do nothing about their pain, and being an empath makes it even worse. I cleanse myself afterwards and pray for them and light candles, its all I can do. If you continue doing something that hurts you and that will end badly and you don't change then my pain level increases for them. So sad.

I would want to visit it, but.. I'm not sure how safe it would be. Who knows.

Oh, you should check out Simply Nailogical. Hilarious, and sometimes she posts tutorials. She's my favourite nail person on YouTube.

I'm pretty much the same way. If you constantly cry, without taking any advice or criticism, not to mention you argue with me if I tell you an honest truth, instead of inanely coddling you, then I can't help. I recently tried to be friends with a closeted gay man. Evidently a very unhappy, negative person, and I got called an idiot, a.. female genital because I asked him if he'd be friends with me in real life, since he lives near enough. I thought it was a fair question, considering he said "No one can know I like men." and I'm pretty flamboyantly open.

I'm sorry I never responded to this post, I'm half brain dead at night I just never saw it!

I'm done with people really. I prefer to hang out with my books.
I think that online dating? thing is so problematic. It never seems to work, short or long term. I feel so sad for people that feel they can't come out. Did I ever share with you my favorite TED talk person? Ash Beckham. Amazing. Especially the closet one, look her up.

I do enjoy TED talks... I'm much more comfortable around teacups, rocks, plants, make-up and whatever laughable art I create, but there's always this voice telling "You're lonely, you need other people..."

Considering what hateful creatures people can be, one only need to come out to one's self. In this other social place I frequent, it's become habitual that someone has something mean or rude to say to me. People I don't know and never talked to. Or people I've tried to be genuinely nice to. Actually, someone I've tried being nice and supportive to decided to call me ugly, and I responded with "Go look into a mirror, and stop being hateful." I feel like I've tried the sociable thing, and I'm ready to live in my own little world again.

Ooh, I got a Star Trek perfume.

Star Trek perfume? What does it smell like? Tribbles? wasn't that what those furry creatures were called.

People, especially online, are just plain mean. I am very careful who I talk to online. If someone calls you a name just say: "I may be ugly but I'm still awesome!" Don't let them diminish you by responding negatively. That takes your power and gives it to them. Of course, you can always just delete/block.

I had a person on here PM me with some crap about something I did, that he couldn't be friends anymore. I had NO idea what he was talking about, literally NONE. I did not know where it came from. I just deleted the message and blocked him on here and any other place where we were talking. I don't have time for drama.

It's pretty nice, actually. There was a Kirk, Spock and Uhura one, and I wanted the Uhura.

I was trying to be nice to this person, and he acted like a jerk twice, then I saw him say some really dumb, horrible things in public, so he's blocked. I really don't put up with a lot. I usually block a person at the first sign of negativity.

I have no time for homophobes, self-hating gays, any religion-based bullying... or anything of the sort. Also, people can't take a joke. That's really sad.
