Do not eat
 

I'm not edible fresh meat xD.
Celainia's fallen into the quicksand of inactivity and a couple other sites I've loved have had their official funerals. Hearsay: Trisphee's become slower by the day. Dunno how true that is but I'm here, all 'Ganbatte ne!' and fistpumping, I'll be a Trisphite Soldier if needed. I obv don't have emotional attachment to Trisphee since this is the first time I'm on it, but I love avi sites in general and enough have been shutting down.
I hate it when a site shuts before it's even properly taken off. I hate when a site shuts before I've had a chance to try it *coughpapertowncough* Mene, my fave, is still up and running thankfully.

Welcome!
In general, Trisphee is somewhat contained to a few areas in the Club House, at the moment. You're welcome in my library!

Yeah, Trisphee is very slow at the moment - I believe in part because the administration here is focused on trying to put together several new things. (Translation: I am not overly worried about low numbers here)

Forums are fading in general, from what I've seen... as well as several things internet/coding wise in general. :(

But, you're here *hugs*

As a side note, I can send you some items if you want/think you'll stick around.

Welcome to Tris.

Yeah, we're being a tad bit slow, but we're just rather short-staffed right now.

@Lawtan: Thanks! I lurve libraries, both real and virtual :) I'm interested to know, What new things are they putting together? That's probably why I saw 'Trisphee is closed for nightly maintenance' when I tried logging in yesterday's Indian afternoon :P
@Ginger: I heard the layering system here is pretty cool. I'm still a year away from being 18 and thus am still under my parents' thumb, so I can't video chat at my free will, but thank you so much! I'll PM you with any silly noob questions I may be embarrassed to post in a thread :D What's the annual Nox event? *pulls silly noob face*
@Espy: I understand. Issokay, I like close-knit little communities anyway, even if they are harder to break into. Incidentally are you staff?

I, er, hm. How did you figure that out?

@Ginger: OK...*redcheeks* it just looked so Skypey :P
I've gone to the body shop and am scrolling through loads of pages but am
unable to find myself a body... *gonked at own noobity*
@Espy: I really. Don't. Know. Even though psychology is one of my electives in high school. But wowster. *looks at you awed*

Eh, it's no big. I'm not active staff anyways, haha.... Actually, I'm just a design artist, so I don't have magical pixel powers.

I love taking psychology classes. Would take more if I had the time.

O.o
I admit, I have never had a psychology course...

Umm...Coda (resident program cyber-mage) has a thread called "Wherein Coda is being a ridiculous tease" that may give you an idea...

*Snuggles up to Dandelioness* Hi there! I'm new too. I'm glad to have some company around the site so if I promise not to chew on you, perhaps we can become friends! I hail from Mene as well, but I left a while ago. Personal reasons, though I do miss it from time to time. Hope you are getting the hang of this place. I'm still exploring, but I thought I'd stop in to say hi to some of my fellow newbies. <3 So Dande, do you have any favorite books or movies?

@Ginger Thank you so much! Now I'm not invisible anymore, and I can put on the awesome items gifted me by awesome users <3
@AliceinZombieland *gives you a giant glomp* YOLO, FELLOW NEWBIE! I'd totes love to be friends, newbies gotta stick together! I don't come online every single day, more like alternate days here, so I'm apologising in advance if I ever fail to respond quickly to you.
Hmm. I love too many books and additions to the list keep taking place. I like character development though and I'm annoyed by immature, annoying YA characters :P. I don't watch many movies, mostly I watch the disney animated ones LOL but I loved The Others (2001) and Kahaani (2012). I also like a recent-ish one called The Lunchbox. You'd have to watch the latter two with English subs though because they're actually Hindi movies-although The Lunchbox has a bit of English and Kahaani, a bit of Bengali- but if you're in the US you'd be able to get CDs with subs, easy, at least for Kahaani. Def worth checking out any rainy afternoon that you're bored :D

I will definitely look up Kahaani and The Lunchbox, and I LOVE The Others!!!! One of my more favorite movies! Nicole Kidman is just fantastic in that. She's so lovely; I just watched her in Practical Magic recently. Funny little movie, but it was a favorite when I was a kid.

YA novels are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, but only when the writing is good. I've tried to read some my friend likes, but they can be so bad that I worry if that's a reflection on youth today. Anyways, no worries about not responding right away. I'm here and there as well, obviously, and I apologize for being gone so long. I got caught up in work and some parties my friends have been throwing for Halloween. October is a very busy month for me.

Anywho, I have no problems watching movies with subs; I also watch korean dramas as another guilty pleasure. I've always been into korean television shows since I was a girl; my grandmother is korean and my mom won't talk about her side of the family so I found other ways to feel close to them, even if they are really silly, superficial ways like watching korean tv. I wish I could watch it without subtitles, but I don't understand korean and my mother would probably kill me if I asked her to teach me. And now I worry I am too old to learn such a challenging language. XD At the very least, it would be hard to practice since nobody in the area I live in speaks Korean.

Do you know any other languages? Are you from the United States and if so, have you ever travelled out of the country? (If not, where are you from?) I wish I could say I have, but I haven't even been to Mexico or Canada. It's an aspiration of mine to travel someday, but I have a lot of debt so it's something I'll have to work up to. I have been to quite a few states though, coast to coast.

I swear The Others is awesome. It's the only ghosts movie I've come across that's got a proper story, others are just a ghost out for revenge, killing everyone with loads of gore, is exorcised, the end.
I do love one particular YA author: Cat Clarke. She's only written a few books but she's OMGamazing.
DON'T apologize for not responding immediately, please! :P You have no idea how that makes me feel :f-deprived:
I know the 'I wanna get in touch with my roots' feeling well :) I guess you could learn Korean enough to understand, if not to speak fluently? You shouldn't keep yourself from trying!
I live in India and have been to US and the UAE. I know a few languages: English, Hindi (India's 'national' language), Telugu (my mother tongue.) I know a few phrases of Japanese if that counts LOL.
There are actually 110 distinct languages spoken in India so you can imagine. There was a lot of to-do about Hindi being the national language because people saw it as the linguistic majority dumping their language on the minorities and some places they refuse point blank to learn Hindi and learn English instead. Nobody cares about whether English has been dumped on us because there are no laws making learning English mandatory unlike for Hindi.

Oh wow, that is incredible! I didn't even realize that many languages existed, let alone were spoken in India alone! I'll admit my world cultures education is somewhat lacking, so it's fascinating to learn so much new information!
Wow, learning to speak Hindi is mandatory? That is unusual. You know, I was just thinking the other day how lovely it would be to have a language, one created specifically so all people can communicate with each other, you know? Rather than have everyone learn one language like English or Chinese or Spanish or anything, create a language that has no ties to one country so it will not feel like that country is forcing their language on us or somehow superior. I know some people can be super sensitive about things like that, but I would really love to be able to have everyone capable of communicating with each other no matter where they are from. Do you know what I mean? Imagine all the things we could learn from each other if we could all communicate this easily.

I think it is beautiful that there are so many different languages though, giving everyone their own unique way of speaking. Accents, languages, expressions, they all interest me quite a bit. I love learning about cultural differences as well. I had a girl from Holland in my store the other day and she commented how a candy bar we sell looks so different where she is from. I never would have even thought they'd package it differently in other countries, but apparently they do! It was really fun to learn that.

So what brought you to the States? Were you on vacation or just travelling? Business maybe?

*Grabs languages*
They will be devoured! Muahahahahaha!

(Translation; I need to work on my culture/language-based works)

@Lawtan: So then you should become a Lingonaut and explore languages and clutures... through Google perhaps? It's more convenient than swimming the seven seas from continent to continent :P

@AliceinZombieland: Linguists could try doing that, computational linguists actually come up with theories about language creation and evolution and stuffzors. Thing is the language would probably be developed in one particular place, and if you've ever learnt non-European languages you'll know that grammar and mechanics of languages vary so much, and if a language was developed by someone the mechanics of their language would probably creep into it. For example, my friend is trying to learn Telugu and I told her that Nuvvostanante nenoddantana means 'If you say you will come, will I forbid you?' (That's the title of a crap movie btw.)
In Telugu it's only two words! In English you add on many words to say something, in Telugu we have a lot of variations in words. That way Hindi and English are kind of similar and Telugu and Japanese just a little similar :)

@Dandwlioness
I know 4 languages (though my Latin vocabulary sucks at the moment) - I just have Engineering to learn (for Mechanical Drafting); art to practice, a language program somewhat based on the structure of languages (and all the coding that goes into that); the Natural Sciences + History, Anthropology, and Mythology (for writing); Art (Digital 3D, 3D, Digital, Oil, Watercolor); Innovation (Green!); College (which has the odd ability to make me feel like I would be better off sequestering myself for 4 years and teaching myself); Starting Let's Plays (seems to be more effective at gathering a group of people than most other things, these days...); Figure out how to live a sustainable life on my own; train animals; sail; and other things...

(Note: This is a display of me being conflicted, not me trying to show off. I have in no way, shape, or form figured out how to fit all of this in, along with personal health/hygiene, yet)

Wow, Lawtan! You're practically as busy as I am ^_^
I've got school till 4, then four hours of coaching for the medical entrance until 9. (And dammit I don't even wanna be a damn doctor.) I come back, have dinner and still have to do my homework. I like your to-dos better, at least they're varied and are not ALL studying!

Often languages have certain words or phrases that cannot be directly translated because the need for inventing those words only arose in that society for some reason. And in a translation it's not always easy to remember that the words of the original are not in the same order as the words in the translation because the two grammar systems don't permit it.

;~; Sowwy, Dande

...Have you thought about trying to incorporate medicine with whatever you want to do? Perhaps like drawing the human body, or writing about the effect of a disease on a fictional character? Perhaps think of the medical procedure for a simulation game, or a song made to sound like some part/process of the body? (Not meant to make more work - just a thought to make your work more bearable)

.-.

Ehh. Still doesn't look like it's worth sacrificing one's life to crack the exam, then sacrificing one's youth studying 10 years, even if I'm able to follow one of your suggestions at the end of it. I'm averse to science itself, maybe if I liked science I'd be able to study it for the sake of studying it. But people only study to get a job really. :s-cry:
Oh well. Maybe at the end of these two years I'll snap and do what I want to do, even if that wouldn't be very, erm, safe.
Thanks though, Lawtan :p-smile:

*Stands by with superglue/first-aid kit, cookies, and milk, for Dandelioness*

@Ginger: Lawtan gave me my beautiful hair <3

@Lawtan: Aww, yoush sho shweet! *glomps you hard*
When my nose is so hard at the grindstone I can't breathe, I'll come look at this post :p-cute:

What do you really want to do that wouldn't be very safe?

I posted the wrong thing >,>

Oh, there are several things that risk life and limb for research, thrills, and wonder - deep sea diving, hang gliding, etc.

*Hugs Dande and Alice*

hi there, Dandelioness! i just joined today too! =)

*Hugs Lawtan* Very true! I would be terrified to hang glide. Omgosh. I'm petrified of falling. (Not really heights, just falling from said heights. I used to want to be a marine biologist. Before I even knew what that was. But I still technically don't know exactly what it is they do. XD

Sorry for my late response.
@AliceinZombieland: They research aquatic life which has to be awesome because aquatic life is so biyoootiful. I didn't mean physical safety, more financial safety. My country hasn't the greatest employment schemes.
@Lawtan: *hugs back* Oh thanks. And ^^ ^_^
@trystan830: Wow you're online so am I obv! Welcome to Trisphee, isn't it a blast?
