...on my pirate ship.
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the fairy princess of Cantin-air (shut up it rhymes)

In Faeryland, born and raised
On the vineropes was where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And flittin' around, flyin' all around the pool
When a couple of pixies up to no good
Started making trouble in my enchanted wood
I got in one little fight and the Queen got scared
And said "You're moving with the leopluridon and bantha in Cantin-air"

I whistled for a dragonfly and when it came near the
License plate said "dong garden" and a lightsaber was there,
If anything I could say that this bug was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo bug, to Cantin-air!

I pulled up to the cantina about seven or eight
And I yelled to my ride "Yo, 'fly, catch you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the fairy princess of Cantin-air

So. Much. Awesome. :D

I see a new reality show in the making here... Contestants have their hands tied behind their backs and are shut in a completely edible room. They must eat their way out (and not everything tastes good).

But there will be obstacles or something? Like MXC (Takeshi's Castle originally, I think) meets Cupcake Wars?

It's a hit!

We'll all be telling people we knew you before you were famous.

I managed some sleep. Feeling better now.

I... remained stoic and manly all though that film. *nods* Didn't cry once...

Back from church, anybody miss me?

My preacher gave me the coolest Christmas gift: a fountain pen and ink. He has a terrific collection of antique and modern fountain pens, and he was very admiring of my two lonely pens. So he gave me a new one.

You're always missed.

That's sounds like a very cool gift from your pastor. And appropriate. :)

Also, found out next weeks roster. Working the day before and after Christmas.
It stinks doesn't it? However, I technically get both of those days off because of my schedule. I do have to come in the day after Christmas, but not until 10:30 that night, so it's kind of like getting the day off.

Speaking of work, that's where I'm headed. Goodnight everyone!

Have fun, or as much as you can at work.

And honestly, I don't mind that much. Dad is on night shift so he's working christmas eve and morning, so we were going to be having christmas at home anyway.


Aww, you're adorable.

I'm not too happy about working the day before, cause it'll be crazy, but the day after christmas (boxing day here) is a public holiday. So I'll get 2.5X my normal wage.

I'm a casual worker, which means my 23 dollars and hour will be 50 an hour. Given it would normally take me all week to earn 250, and I'll be doing it in 5 hours, I'm quite happy to work boxing day.

ION: I finally saw Toy Story 3. And I cried. Twice. I'm such a baby.

Is ok. I cried too. Especially at the end. Up! gets to me at the beginning.

I've needed something to make me smile all day. This did the trick. Thank you!

Morning :)

I have work today. At last.

*starts humming the money money money song*

Yay for money. Boo for less Sian.

I miss you because you never come to visit. Epic Christmas Gift is EPIC!!!!

Bettie, that was the awesome.

Back from work, did anybody miss me :p

Also, found out next weeks roster. Working the day before and after Christmas.

Welcome to my life. The only time I get either off is when it's on my weekend.

I'm a casual worker, which means my 23 dollars and hour will be 50 an hour. Given it would normally take me all week to earn 250, and I'll be doing it in 5 hours, I'm quite happy to work boxing day.

:Jaw: You make what an hour? What are you doing for said employment? On a salary like that I could almost cut my working hours in half and still make what I make now.

ION: Today was a day of sad. We laid my friend to rest. I was honored to be asked to be a pallbearer. I was just very glad my work let me have the extra hour I needed to be able to do it.

Well, there's not really a need as such, for explicit swear words. I know the childish ones, such as uncou, which is "poop". I also know bakayarou and yarou - they pretty much mean bastard. Temei can be used the same way. Aho means something similar everywhere baring Osaka, where it's actually a familiar term of address if you're calling someone a fool. kusou and chikushō is sh*t, but it's more used like we use "damn".

There are others, like sl*t ect, all the ones to do with sex, but I don't think I'd ever bother with them.

If I ever wanted to be insulting I would just drop all the polite tenses from the verbs, and change the "you" to either omae (which isn't so impoliete for guys, but it is if a girl uses it. Or I would use temei, which would be more impolite), and probably change all my verbs to the imperative form. And start sticking "me" everywhere, as it's a suffix which makes other words more contemptuous. Sort of like the opposite to tacking "O" onto words to make them more polite.

It's hard to explain it by comparing it to English, but you can be jaw droppingly rude to another person without actually saying a swear word. You can also be achingly polite in speach and be staying some not so nice things.

Personally, that's one of the things I find so fascinating about the language. If debio's around he probably knows some swear words that are worse.

I'm catching up on backread now. My wife got me a Kobo and a couple of days were spent doing the Gutenberg "I've always wanted to read this." thing.

Anyway, Japanese is astonishingly short of actual swear words. There are ways to be offensive and rude, of course, but for the most part it is done with the politeness levels of he language.

For expletives, as Sian mentioned, there are Kuso, chikusho, and chie. That last is mostly one you say to yourself in a quiet breathy voice. Little kids use all of these and I have yet to see a parent or adult tell them to stop, so they apparently don't serve quite the same function as English expletives.

There are words for male and female body parts that range from kindergarten level, to porn level, but I have never heard them used directed at a person, only when talking about those particular body parts.

There is Shine "sheenay".

It is a command to die. But has more of a meaning of "you are not wanted, go kill yourself and save the world the trouble."

A similar one would be kiero, which is a command to vanish. It carries pretty much the same attitude as shine, but death is not actually required. So, in a sense it is slightly less bad.

These words, shine and kiero, I have seen teachers and parents scold children for using.

There is nothing in Japanese that I have discovered that carries the weight of the English Fword. I have taught 13 to 18 year olds for 15 years. The first three of which were at a very low level industrial school, half of whose students were in some way related to local biker gangs. So you'd think I would have heard something similar.
But you can be incredibly rude to people, and it all depends on what pronoun or verb form you use, add in a little dialect and you can really piss people off.

I just noticed that I'm stronger than I thought: I have been shot on the leg when I was 14 and got a gun pointed at my face when I was 12. How many folks can say that?

Morning :chair

So if today is the last day and all that, can we celebrate my one year on AW anniversary today? Especially as it's chocolate fiesta day?

*Counts nodding heads*

Here we are then :Cake:

Today I refuse to wait in for the parcel of doom, it can go unwrap itself at the sorting office. I'd better make a list eh? Hmm, what if this is the last day? Not much point in sweeping the floor if it is. What did Asimov say 'type faster'? :D

Today's list

  • Read Steven Tyler
  • Chocolate Fiesta Day

That's not much of a list eh?

:Coffee:
