I Am Totally Curious!

[Yuukino]

Beuh... I use names for my character that I like. For instance, Sorsha is from the movie Willow, Hikari Yuukino is a character I created based on me when I was in high school... so long ago I am a Japanophile, but otakus scare me whenever I go to anime conventions Personnaly, I don't know "some" words of Japanese. Ever since High school, I have taken it upon myself to learn Japanese (I am an autodidact person). Thus, I do not scream Kawaii (how Kowaii as some do thinking it means the same thing XD) when I see something cute. As Melvin was lucky to witness (for I make a huge case of hiding it), I cry of joy. Yes I do and am ashamed by it. (Hi Aaron btw! Melv says happy new year! :3).

Well... I dunno what my point really was, but I like languages and find it fun to use it where it's still of good taste. I don't throw my German (Aber, Ich spreche kein Deutsh!! ) or French at people's face just for fun (except in this case... Because it says "But, I speak no German!" so you guys don't think I actually am fluent in it... Kinda destroyed the point... Oh well). Being stuck inside for too long has debilitated my mind.

Hum... What was I saying? Oh yeah, I use Japanese or other languages because I can. Because I know them enough and because it makes my choices more versatile. Moreover, I use English names!!! OMG! But I am French! It's a mather of feeling comfortable enough about the language to want to try something apparently different... When I first joined the server, some 4 years ago... There were not so many Japanese names >_< !! It WAS cool, because it was a little bit different and people seek ingenuity. It's cool not to be a sheep and not to follow the gerenal crowd, so we try to find interesting ways to make our in-game names original.

Well, this is for my part on HeRo. I don't use Japanese in my everyday language unless I speak with Japanese people. I think trying to mix it is only something otakus do to seem cool between themselves as with the Yos having their own street language.

As for OTHER language (ah-ah! Animes are not limited to Japanese and english!), I do mix english in my French and rarely, some German to my English. Because I learn so many languages, eventually I will add more of them in my spoken language. Why? Because I cannot always think of the right word in my own language all the time. Because my head is full of holes, and those damnable words escape me sometimes and I go for the one I know but maybe in a different language hoping the person I am talking to will know what I am talking about.

Although, on a nother note, I have to admit, that I find it funny but "chic" to hear English person say French words to sound more uppity! XD In Germany, we found a shop called "Oh la la tr?s chic" (OMG very chic) and it was so ridiculous, I loved it! (cuz it's funneh). I may not sound as litterate as Slate, but I guess it's not that bad.

Just don't mind the weird stuff. Germany without Melvin makes me something something...
