Have officially signed up for Beginners French classes. Monday nights 7:30 - 9:30. Starting Oct 20th.

... Fuck, what the hell am I thinking, doing school again? Oh, right, those boyfriends of mine constantly speak French and I have no idea what the crap they're saying.

Hope this is worth it.

French, huh?

[john_movinon]

Yeah. Well, JP is French-Canadian, and Doug knows every language, and they talk French sometimes. I get annoyed when I don't know what they're saying, so. Will just have to learn what they're saying.

[letsface_it]

Every language?

Sounds like it'll be worth it.

[john_movinon]

Yeah. You know how I have the fire power? Well, his is linguistics - he just knows every language. Even if you started talking to him in a language he's never heard before, he'd understand it and start talking back fluently. And I mean every language, right down to computers and aliens and demons stuff.

I hope so, if I make it through it.

[thecheerleader]

Is this because of your boyfriend?

[john_movinon]

Both of them, actually. And, sorta? I mean... it'll be good for me, I'm sure, to learn more stuff. But it's pretty much to curb my annoyance when I don't know what the hell they're saying.

Plus, I think they'd like it.

[thecheerleader]

They'd probably be amused at the mistakes you'd make while you were learning.

It's a cool idea.

[john_movinon]

Heh, probably. Though, I'd have a couple awesome tutors... well. JP's French isn't the same French so he'll probably end up messing me up more. Oh, well.

Yeah? Well, I think it was JP's idea, originally. But only because he yelled at me when he was annoyed with me being annoyed. "Chrisse, then learn French already!" Something along those lines.

[only_pepper]

If you need any help, let me know. I'm fluent in French.

I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

[john_movinon]

Are you? That's cool. Yeah, I might have to have a study session with you if my boys are too busy doing their own thing... who the hell am I kidding? I'm sure you're busy doing your own thing too. But, thanks.

I think they like the idea, yeah.

[only_pepper]

I'm never too busy for my friends, John. We can make it work.

[john_movinon]

Okay. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

Although, I think I should pre-warn you: I suck at the school thing. I anticipate lots of frustration, and possibly yelling. But hey, at least it'll be in French because I've picked up that much at least from Jean-Paul. Heh.

[rattle_thecages]

I think it's great, John.

[john_movinon]

Thanks, Rachel. I'm gonna try.

[rattle_thecages]

Nothing wrong with trying. Jean-Paul must be thrilled he'll get to hear you speaking in French.

[john_movinon]

Yeah, I think he's pleased with it. But he's likely to get real annoyed when I fuck up pronunciation before he hits the thrilled thing, probably. Heh.

I think you'll enjoy it.

My mother taught me French but only très peu. I'm very rusty with it.

[john_movinon]

Well, we'll see about the enjoying thing, but I think it'll be good for me.

That's kinda cool, that she was able to teach you.

[vote4nathan]

I don't know, I always enjoyed school. It was something I was good at. Most people don't enjoy school though, I guess.
