Getting to know each other

[JediMaster12]

That is cool that you can speak multiple languages. I somewhat do but I don't consider it very fluent.

 

English is my first language being that I am a Southern California girl I speak rudimentary Spanish since I spent the first five years of my life with my Spanish speaking grandfather and tia. I can read and write Spanish better than I can speak it and I can read and write basic Arabic. I am refamiliarizing myself with ASL or American Sign Language. I love talking with my hands and I get the amusing thought that some people think some signs are gang signs or something. I know various words in other languages and use them interchangeably with English. An example would be Dutch words and Afrikaans, a 14th cent bastardized version of Dutch. The languages I use when I do that are Dutch, Afrikaans, German, some French, occasionally Chinese and I think once I used an African language. I know it's wierd but part of it is that I love world lit and I bother to learn the words and pronounce them properly.

 

My other unique talent is that I can handwrite backwards, meaning from right to left. It improved when I learned to write in Arabic since in Arabic we write from right to left. Yeah I write like daVinci did. No I don't follow the daVinci Code or anything like that.

 

Well that's a new bit about me. Nice to meet old firends and new friends.

I've been here for a little while, but I haven't noticed this thread yet. So here goes:

 

Name - Shadow Clinton Smith (my real name on my birth certificate and everything.)

 

Age - 16 going 17 in October

 

Ethnicity - Italian, Irish, Mexican, German

 

Location - Just moved to Tavares in Central Florida from my real home in Hollywood which is north of Miami. I miss the ghetto.

 

Occupation - Nothing right now, I do things here and there to make money.

 

Random Things - I speak a little of German and Spanish, I've been banned from over 20 churches across the east U.S., and I'm 5 different kinds of crazy

 

Hobbies - Playing and modding KotOR (obviously), random acts of lawlessness and scaring conservative old people.

 

Favorite Music - Rammstein, Megaherz, Korn, Eisbrecher, Disturbed, Emigrate, Sepultura, the list goes on lol.

 

Favorite Games - KotOR 1 and 2, Battlefront, Jedi Outcast, Republic Commando, C&C Generals, Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas.

 

Most Awaited Games - The Force Unleashed is pretty much the only one I'm overly excited for.

 

I also have a MySpace, which is the home page on my LF public profile.

JM12, I'm not really that multilingual. What I can speak is pretty basic, and I have a bad habit of getting the intonations wrong:p I can hardly read Mandarin... I think one of my friends told me before that you need to know upwards of 10,000 characters just to read a Chinese newspaper. Wow... So many languages! Hehe, English just doesn't have a word for some things:) I'd love to learn other languages but I figure I better focus on my Mandarin first.

 

SykoRevan, you have such a cool first name:p

[JediMaster12]

The fact that you know the basics is saying something. BeeHoon. From my perspective, I can read and understand other languages better than speaking them. Yeah I do interchange my words ocassionally and is a common characteristic I use for one of my story characters who speaks multiple languages. As to learning other languages, you can say it is somewhat of a must in my profession. In anthropology you have to look at other works in other languages. In most PhD programs there is the language requirement. Lucky me eh? But first I got to start on my masters.

How long did it take you to do that Hall? That is one cool picture. I know I can't do that though I could probably do it as needlepoint. Yeah I do the housewife things too. What girl can't?

[Bee Hoon]

JM12, whoa... What does anthropology involve? Lol, yeah. I always tempted to lapse into Manglish (Malaysian English...or mangled English?) *raises hand guiltily* I'm lousy at "girly" stuff. Heh.

 

Hallucination, whoa. That must have taken quite a while to do.

[SykoRevan]

SykoRevan, you have such a cool first name:p

 

Thanks I get that all the time lol.

Dang, how did they know? . Naw I do odd labor for friends, neighbors and stuff, most of the time just as favors with no pay. I'm not doing anything illegal officer... *whistles nonchalantly then runs very fast*

[JediMaster12]

JM12, whoa... What does anthropology involve? Lol, yeah. I always tempted to lapse into Manglish (Malaysian English...or mangled English?) *raises hand guiltily* I'm lousy at "girly" stuff. Heh.

I'll break it down for you:

 

'anthro' comes from Greek anthropos meaning man

'ology' comes from the Greek word for 'logic of' or 'study of'

Put it together and you get Study of Man

 

Basically we study man from the evolutionary theory to modern day. It can involve modern cultures, or archaeology where you get sites like the pyramids or Palenque.

There are four sub categories:

 

Archaeology which is the reconstruction of the past

Linguistics which studies languages and their family trees

Physical Anthropology or Biological Anthropology which deals with the physiology. It can include the evolution sequence, primatology, forensic anthropology

Cultural Anthropology is where we study modern cultures to get asense of how previous cultures lived or we see how cultures adapt to the modern world. It is where ethnography fits in.

 

I hope that helps.

Huggelz to RJM!

[The Doctor]

I haven't really been gone long enough for anyone to notice, but... I'm back again! I rather missed this place, for some reason. I guess after getting past angers off my chest, I grew to love the place the way I did before they came around.

 

And yes, I've started the fic I promised to bring with me.

[Hallucination]

Welcome back!

 

So will I be editing this fic before or after it's posted?

[The Doctor]

Well, I'm not going to be sending you chapters every few weeks, if that's what you're asking. I'm taking up ShortFic writing again. I'm picking up the filler stories again. Check out my new thread in the CEC.
