I'm not dead, I'm not dead. Just barely alive, that's all. I may not update that much either the upcoming months... who knows. Sorry for not being around much.

So this is a shout out for all *insert a language here*-learners to go join lang-8.com! :) As you can see, it is basically a journal system with a linguistic approach. You can read more about it here.

In case you care about what I wrote there last week: ( 「はい、どうぞ！」 )

Then more people went to correct my Indonesian entry (straight from my head) and I'm really embarrassed about that one. I am not posting the correction as it's not very interesting text, basically an explanation on how I learned Indonesian and blablabla.

The thing that is holding me back is that I haven't properly studied the grammar for these two Asian languages (those people must have noticed lmao) or have read a lot of text by natives, which I did for English, German and French... I've gone on completely different routes between those two and the other 3 (5?) Plus, western languages and Asian languages are worlds' apart of course.

I really like lang-8, it isn't huge, yet, and the interface isn't topnotch; there's room for improvement duh... I've yet to see some Dutch entries by non-natives, I'm a bit hesitant about correcting English texts >_>;

Side notes:
- BKI is licensed?! It was probably the last thing I ever expected to be licensed... It doesn't seem like that kind of material to be released overseas. ...I patiently wait for another confirmation.

- My cousin asked my brother to tell me I should sign up for Hyves to keep in contact with me, but the thing is: I HATE THAT SITE. It's basically the Dutch version of MySpace. I guess do want and do not want to contact her.. we never meet anymore due to issues with relatives, so that's a shame, then again I don't have much to talk about with her. She's the accomplished grandchild of my dad's side of the family, and I'm one of the failures (for now), who likes to work herself into trouble!

- I've been wasting my time on sims 2 once again, inspired by a certain person. *blames* :(

Ending with a meme taken from friendslist!
