wow.
I mean, yay and everything but...I kinda see that as a bit harsh. Not saying rape is anything to be proud of. It's an awful thing but I don't know...well...if he was young maybe but he's old and has kids. Plus it was his own children that he hurt. Not gonna say it's a good thing, but at least something was done.

Anyway, You and Caije make up I presume?

Both awesome news Bloody! I'm happy for you! :D

I shall be distant too a little. Gonna be traveling and when I get back I have sort a lot of things.

153
Too quiet Mandy! Talk :D

155
Same.

I forgot to tell you guys (I think) but I died and this time for good. I won't be back in the game at all since buyins have stopped. I actually lasted a whole week without dying ^^ So happy :3
They're thinking of doing it again for the spring, this time with Juniors, and I'll be doing it again if they do actually go through with that >:3

So, how's days going by for y'all? FOr some reason, I've noticed myself speaking my home language more. It's strange but now I rarely talk to my mom in English unless I'm talking quickly.

It's really funny actually ^^ So you have to first understand how I speak at home. I almost never speak to my siblings in Urdu (home language). My parents though, I usually talk to them in Urdu. I'm not as fluent in Urdu as I am in English and my dad doesn't know it that well either. My mom is the only one in the house who is fluent in the language.
There are a few words that we say only in Urdu even if we're speaking in English, for example, water. In Urdu water is [i]pa-nee (phonetically). When we want water, at home we say, "I need to go drink Panee" no matter who we're talking to.
The habit of saying parts of words in Urdu kind of goes with us to school so sometimes we forget and for the example of water, I've had a significant amount of cases where I've asked the teacher, "May I go get Panee?" instead of  "May I go get water?"

There are a whole lot of other words too and the same happens vice versa although not as funny. But when I talk in Urdu, I'll mix English words into it since I don't know those words in Urdu. Like colors and numbers. I know a few, but I usually forget while talking.

It's fun having a second language. When we're in stores to buy stuff, it's like our secret code no one else knows ^^ Especially since it's not a very common language like Spanish.[/i]

:D same feeling! Oh and my siblings call me Apiyah since we don't take the names of anyone older than us as a sign of respect. So I'm the only one who calls all my siblings by their name. My youngest brother has to call everyone by the sibling name. Apiyah, Bhayia, Apa, Baji, etc. They all just mean older brother or sister. I grew up thinking my name was "Apiyah" because I never heard anyone say my name. Even my parents would call me Apiyah. After I realized what my name was, I never liked saying it. I still don't. I just avoid saying my name as much as I can ^^ It sounds weird :P
My siblings are so used to it too that they don't like saying my name when talking about me to others.

Wow, that's...Awesome! Must feel like secret agent/spies when you go places and speak different languages. :D

Only special name I get in my house is Baka... >.> it's a nickname I picked up somehow... But you guys' sound pretty and mystical :magic:

Pretty and mystical? I'd say confusing to be honest, haha. I know two dialects in Chinese that I switch between fluidly (like same words/writing but compleetely different pronunciations) I remember once I was in Hong Kong and someone asked me a question in Mandarin and I replied in Fukien and they kind of just embarrasedly thanked me and walked away and I didn't realize that they probably didn't understand me until like 5 seconds later. >////<
