Did you go see it? OwO It's in the trophy case

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 07:37 PM

Christmas can be sad sometimes. Sometimes I get a little down because I'm one of the few unattached people in my family so when people start doing things with significant others I get a little bummed. And on a societal note, I think that sometimes it can be awkward when somedoesn't feel all the usually holiday stuff that is "supposed" to come with holidays and it can feel wrong somehow.

I had an okay year, though I find I much prefer the days leading up to Christmas than the day itself often. I got some clothes as per usual -meaning I'll need to put on a "fashion show" at some point. Thought I got out of it but apparently not. -.- Got a beginners flute book so I can re-learn my fingering. Finally one with a decent chart in it! And my sister and brother in law gave me some fancy tea and steeping mug which goes lovely with my new rubber ducky tea steeper! :D.

I also got a set of kitchen knives, each meticulously labeled with length and purpose. I think that was courtesy of my stepmom. When I'm finally able to get my own place I'll have at least enough stuff to stock the kitchen. :)

Demonskid 12-26-2011 07:46 PM

Quiet go to the group page and see your ornament too :3

*tries to find a way to resurrect my thread with out breaking rules* -w-

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 07:50 PM

I did see! It's beautious. :)

Which thread would that be?

Demonskid 12-26-2011 07:53 PM

My japanese learning thread.. the people who used to post in there don't post no more ;o;

I want to take these lessons I have from japanese pod 101 and put them in there >x< but I dun want the thread to die D;

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 07:57 PM

Ah. Well, outside of some sushi terms my Japanese sucks, not that I've actually tried to learn it so I shouldn't complain.

Demonskid 12-26-2011 08:00 PM

=w= wanna be my selfstudy partner? we can bring back the thread since i has new lesson/infos =w=

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 08:05 PM

I think Mandarin might be more useful where I am (or Cantonese. Not sure which) but I'm not averse to picking up new words and phrases here and there in any language. My snag is sticking with things long enough to actually become fluent. I dropped off my self study in Swedish so I'm forgetting a lot of basic stuff. Need to make up some lists of vocab and refresh my grammar terms.

Demonskid 12-26-2011 08:09 PM

OuO I'll go resurrect the thread then ^-^ I has Hiragana lessons for beginners.

silly tentens and marus ><

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 08:11 PM

Hiragana?

Oh, can I common grab the white belts jeans?

Demonskid 12-26-2011 08:22 PM

Hiragana one of the Kana :3

Kana have hiragana and katakana

then there is Kanji ^-^ I posted *jumps on cat* is that the only item from common grab?

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 08:39 PM

Pretty much so far, yeah.

Umm, I have an idea of Kanji as caligraphy of sorts, or symbols. I'm really feeble when it comes to anything Japanese. What I have picked up has come from menus, magic cards, fanfiction and anime, and naturally I don't put much trust in any of it.

Demonskid 12-26-2011 08:48 PM

Menu's could be ok if it is a true Japanese place.

Um *stole this from yahoo:

Quote:

Kanji, are the characters of Chinese origin that actually represent things or words. Kana don't, they're just phonetic symbols telling you what sound to make, and although they are derived from kanji, they themselves have no meaning.

And yes, you can write most things with kanji - although it often has a hiragana suffix. Anything that can be written with kanji can be written just with hiragana, or even katakana, although that's not usual.
:3

I prefer the internet for my japanese learning. A lot of anime/manga you can't trust on proper structure and what not ^^,

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 08:56 PM

Ah, I get it. When I've come across "kanji" it has usually refered to spells or marks of power (fantasy reading for instance) or as symbols for something. It didn't seem to me like something that would be used in every day communication, but this is hardly an educated opinion. ;)

Demonskid 12-26-2011 08:58 PM

Hehe :3 I used to think that because of Dragon Ball Z x'D

I'll put some samples of the Romaji/Kana/Kanji up in the other thread

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 09:11 PM

In one of the novels for the Magic the Gathering Kamigawa card set the main character could do something called blood kanji, which was what it sounds like. Symbols written in his blood that would cast spells. Another character was learning Kanji but not good at it. I remember she send a note to the main via kanji written on a piece of paper and it flew like a butterfly, but it was tattered and ripped when it got to him since she wasn't good enough at it yet.

The stuff I picked up with that magic card set I've sort of cross-referenced with other dubious sources to sort of pick out some meaning. For intance, kami appears to mean something like spirit, since it's used to refer to the spirit world critters that are invading the human world because the humans pissed them off. One card, "hanakami" depicts a flower spirit, and while looking up the Cherry Blossom Festival on Wikipedia I encountered the term "hanami" which refers to "flower viewing" apparently, so it appears that "hana" means flower or blossom. That's pretty much how I've been picking things up.

Not totally reliable, is it? ;)

Demonskid 12-26-2011 09:15 PM

Actually that is correct ^^,

Kami = Spirit/God
Hana = Flower


I have some of that set and plausibly a book or two from that series xD I don't have all the books so I haven't read it yet ._., But yea those translations are correct.

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 09:20 PM

Good to know. :).

I wrote a haiku named "Hanami," I'd have loved to take the Asian literature course as my school but it was full up with a waiting list by the time I was able to register. -.-

Demonskid 12-26-2011 09:21 PM

x'D yea you'd be surprise on how correct some stuff are then turn around to something else and BOOM its soooo wrong it makes you wanna set something on fire D;

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 09:31 PM

It's the terms I see scattered all over fanfiction and chat speak that I usually wonder about. Things like "kawaii" "chibi" "bishounen" and such. I've read there and there about some Japanese terms being used commonly in North America in fashions not totally accurate, like Bishounen being used for young men when it is apparently supposed to refer to young boys like elementary school aged? There is apparently another word for older boys or young men.

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 09:41 PM

Oops! It was the White Mesh pants I was looking for. Can I trade the belts guys back?

Demonskid 12-26-2011 09:51 PM

x'D yea sure or you can keep the belts and take the mesh too

Quiet Man Cometh 12-26-2011 09:53 PM

Probably wont used the belts though. Someone else can take them. :)

Serra Britt 12-26-2011 09:53 PM

Demonskid 12-26-2011 09:57 PM

See ya Quiet :3

=w= I love it when you go "HEY! These items are based off this!" then someone goes and states the same thing you JUST said =w=... REALLY?!

Quiet Man Cometh 12-27-2011 07:04 PM

Is there something I should be looking at? Or is this a tarot thing?

Demonskid 12-27-2011 07:06 PM

It was me complaining xD it's been said how many times that the yearlies were based off of tarot.. and people are STILL going.. "oh so its a tarot thing" =w=,


Anyway.. hellu :3
