Kiwii Has Arrived!
 

Well, I suppose I should stop exploring the site to actually make my first post here. c:

So... Hello! Feel free to call me whatever you like, as long as I can tell you're talking to me. :] A few things about me... Well, I don't use "text talk" unless I'm sending a text and the full message doesn't fit. The exception to this are, of course "lol," "omg," etc., and smiley faces.

I'm a hobby artist who is about to take the plunge into her up-and-coming web-comic, as well as industrial design school - more specifically, transportation/car design. ;D I can speak a bit of Spanish, German, Italian, and Russian, in order from the first learned to most recent. There's a couple of Jamaican words that I know, but nowhere near enough to be able to say that I know enough to hold a conversation. Sadly, none of these have been taught to me in a class, so this fall I'll be taking a language course, preferably one that I don't know yet. I just love languages that much. <3

Okay, enough rambling. I'll just stop talking here and once again say, "Hello!" :}

Hello, hola, guten tag, *skips Italian*, privet! :) Welcome to Tris!
I hope you enjoy yourself here and stay with us for a long while to come.

If you have any questions, please, don't hesitate to ask us. We're a friendly bunch and don't bite! :)

Haha; thank you! Everything looks very interesting so far, so maybe I'll get hooked~ ;]

And, I'll keep that in mind! Again, thank you. c:

Hello and welcome~

I hope you come and chat with us and have fun here as well.

Sorry, I'm a bit new.

You're welcome! :)

So you're a language fanatic, too, eh? :P

Yep. In my mind, there is no such thing as an "ugly" language. :3

Hey, welcome to Tris.

Ari's probably got most of your questions, and that's fine too -- I'm rapidly alternating between deep anxiety and profound elation, and my tongue tends to get away from me when that happens.

Oh! So sorry; I didn't see your post. x:
I hope I'll be sticking around and do just that. ^^

Espy,
Thank you! :]
And may I ask what is causing such... "mood swings?"

I'm not sure you'd want to hear a tale of college life fraught with "wanting to try too many things and throwing grades out the windows", "not making the best of decisions", and "emotional turmoil".

Nice. And I so agree with you. Languages are such wonderful things, I personally wish to learn as many as I can. <3

Currently I know English (obviously :P), semi-fluent Cantonese, a decent amount of French, some Spanish, a little Mandarin, some American Sign Language, a small dabbling in Russian, and some Japanese. Those were not listed in order of when I learned them as I don't remember which I learned first. >_> I just listed them off the top of my head. :P

Ooh. Languages. I'm fluent in English (...of course), conversant in Mandarin, can understand but not speak a bit of daily Taiwanese, semi-fluent in Spanish, and want to learn German, Russian, Italian, and Irish.

That's okay, you've replied now. ^.^

Espy,
Ah, college life; the world I'll be entering in the fall...
I'm not sure I'd be of any help academics-wise, but if you ever need anyone to vent to, feel free to drop me a message. <3

Arikana (and Espy, haha),
Same here. I haven't had the opportunity to learn any Asian or Latin languages (other than Spanish and Italian, of course), but it would definitely be something I would try to do when I had to time. Oh, and African dialects. -v-


I'm pretty sure my typing is becoming difficult to read, so I might head off to bed soon, seeing as it's almost 2:00am here. Haha

Huh. You're younger than me? That's an interesting thought. Yeah, it's 1:35 here, and I need to break my habit of sleeping at 4.

Hello and welcome.

Espy,
It would seem so.

I usually go to bed at around 11pm, but several things had my attention. Haha

Massy Deacon,
Hello, and thank you.
