Yiuel

Red_08 : It does! Everytime I write the basci ending "site" (as in hajimemaSITE) it brings up &*)( because you're supposed to have, in the most common romanization an h between the s and the i, so, it gives the S word, and the censor takes it so. Stupid censor, censoring the most important Japanese verb. Grr! At least, when I write in pure Japanese, it's kana I'm writing, so the censor just skips it (Fiew! I'll be able to write my Speech Contest )

We'll see on the 1st of january...

Shall Yüle be lightfuul to all. And shall sicerity mark the day as it should always be.

Well, welcome Can you present more about yourself? Have fun here.

Oberinjenkai : QUOTE like everything Japanese Hajimemasite! (It is our first time) If you indeed like all Japanese stuff, you'll have fun with me since I'm learning Japanese. Quite a strange language, but fun when you know how to play with it. Makoto ni nihon no subete no mono ga suki dattara, nihongo wo benkyou suru kara boku to asobu koto ga dekimasu ne. Douzo yoroshiku onegai itashimasu. (I am pleased to meet and hope our new relation will be pleasant) Adenum : I hate when the censor passes through my Japanese. It senses bad words everywhere GRRRR.

Blood doesn't make me throw up. I'm probably not normal, but actually, I don't have problem when I swallow blood (but I only know about mine, never had a taste to someone else's blood , I'm not a vampire, though I probably could be). My baby teeth never went out before I was 6 years old, and most ofstood until I was 11. My last one fell when I was 14, if I remember well. It's quite old

Onlymet local celebreties of my home town. Oh, and my Japanese teacher is now famous, so maybe him.

I should make a Melvillian team, made up of Frogs of all colors

24th : Usually we are alone, me my sister and parents. This year, we are even lonelier, since my sister is in California (close to Los Angeles I think). On the evening, we make a great car tour, looking to house decoration all over the place, then we come back and open our fiew gifts. 25th : Father's family coming, we'll probably have both aunts who live in Mtl and my grand-parents. And that disgusting "Boeuf aux Légumes" (Boiled beef with all sorts of boiled traditional vegetables : not that I hate the vegetables used, but I hate beef and favor chicken or pork) Scattered through Christmas vacation we host a lot of people, usually friends more than family member, but family member as well. New year's eve (31st): We usually have a champagne on that day at midnight, and a small buffet instead of supper (dinner for most people out of Quebec). Well, that's about it. And I'll probably wont be able to join WFG as much as I am used to. I usually also follow the year change on Net with esperantophones all over the world. Quite fun to follow the wave of the year (from Kiribati to Hawaii). Argilius : That was too easy!

1400 and still going.

We have an artificial tree, when you use it for years, it gets cheaper and ecologically, it's better. My sister and I each have a small tree as well for our bedrooms. I don't mind them being artificial, I hate the smelling of trees inside houses. (As I hate fireplaces as well)

KTut : BuenAs Noches I just sleep when I need to, but sometimes it kills my day

Either standing or walking, my favorite position will be "hands behind my back". Il also lower my face and never look in front of me (ready to bow). I'll also try to move when I must wait up somewhere.

Greeks, when celebrating, were lying on longchairs, and food was all over them. Slaves were there to give them the food, and the festives were able to do nothing, except talking and discussing...

It is to prepare something great, have a place where I can sit confortably and have all that food in front of me, and eat, without thinking of anything else...

Dnas : It's the same about me, but about a language only I and my sister could speak. At least, I got to understand three languages quite easily, and a fourth is growing

Is it so easy to distinguish? Well, it's easy to distinguish Quebecers, just hear them speaking I wonder if I could distinguish an American from an English-speaking Canadian. I cannot distinguish easily the face of Koreans and Japanese, even though people say it's so easy.

I don't think it's so difficult to mix, when you're in Europe. In Japan, the task is impossible, especially when you're six feet tall and green-eyed (according to my Japanese teacher)...

First reaction : If they need to disguise themselves, what a pain. But, there's something I must verify before any further comment. I know there are laws regarding the Canadian flag, I'll go look about them. Second reaction : I knew there were some law about it : I wonder what will happen. I know that if you claim Canadian citizenship in Japan or Korea, you'll be more welcomed than if you were to claim you're American. Some of the quotes in the article are a little hard for me, since I don't see Canada so progressive as they think. It may be a matter of culture... And they have so strange set answers to me (Hockey, the only sport! Wayne Gretzky? Gneu??? In fact, I hate hockey ). I know how I'll distinguish myself : I'll go with a Quebec flag, everyone will wonder who I am

BO : Odd story. Well, I'm bizarre. Don't ask me how I sleep, I may sleep in about any thinkable position. The best one though seems to be "sitting". I go on a corner and kinda sit on my bed or something close. I can also sleep in the position air-comfy : instead of lying completely on my bed, my back is on my bed, my feet are on my chair and my legs are in the air. I also must have my neck lifted to be able to sleep (I have a huge back that makes my head fall when I lay on my bed, so it isn't comfy at all) The best position I ever slept with is the leg up position. I'm on a sofa, my legs are where my back would be if I was sitting in the sofa. It's very comfortable. And I cannot sleep on my back

"Ta gueule" is a small version of "Ferme ta gueule", which means "Shut your mouth". In Frnehc, we distinguish between a person's mouth (bouche) and animal's mouth (gueule). So, it rather impolite on its own, and with imperativew, you're on the way to be vulgar Here, in Quebec, we pronounce it "Ta yeule!", changing the hard g into a y slide. It familiarize the tone (but still is vulgar) : "Ta gueule" will be said to strangers, or people from which you want to be apart. "Ta yeule" will be said to friends or peers, but it doesn't mean its a joke (but it can be) You can give a plural by saying Vos gueules/yeules. If you want to be pedant, you can use politeness : "vot' gueule". But it really feels pedant. Since "yeule" is never said to foreigners, "vot' yeule" is not used much. The distinction between yeule and gueule is only for youngsters. Older people will either use yeule, if they are low-class, or gueule, if they are of a higher class. The connotation then is that it is vulgar, simply (without any familiarity distinction). In fact, it is possible that there isn't any distinction at all, andit may only be my "egolect" (that is, how I use and feel French myself). We never say "ta yeule" to people to whom we show respect. The corresponding polite expression is "Taisez-vous" (in tutoiment : Tais-toi).

Well, here in Quebec, we have as the F-word. I mean, yes, the English word is used a lot. But it lost its original meaning. In Quebec, we have the "Sacres". Those are words about christian manners, that we use to express a handful of emotions. Depending on the tone you use, "t*b*rn*k (from "Tabernacle") you can express anger, shame or even joy and pleasure. In everyday life, most people use them, but it is lower than familiar, it is always considered as vulgar (but it doesn't necessarly means impolite). You can think of about any word from catholic christianism, and it's probably a "Sacre". On the other side, we almost never use words based on sex. It sounds foreign and Frenchy. Some scatologic words made their way, though : but they still don't speak about sex act. Libanese people speaking French will also use an obscur expression, that we could translate in English easily : "Your mother!" (Ta mère!) It is used much as the Quebec's Sacres. We also use false Sacres, in order to familiarize the tone ("cibole" instead of "ciboire", as a common example). Neutral French in Quebec will never use either.

Curufinwe : Pfffffffffffffffff. I'm not a statistic maniac. Stats are what they are, only a general image of the situation. There's probably some link with Tolkien, about that 25-27 high. It's like that joke about a matematician, and engineer and a physician. An engineer tries to shot a beast, and miss 10 feet before it. The physician miss as well 10 feet, but after it. The matematician says : Well you got it!

Archery... I should try it Welcome here.

If it wasn't for those 25-27, we would have been close to a normal law.
