the one with censorship and germanz
So.
Apparently when I practice my Germanz I don't pronounce any of it with an Australian accent. This is a) presumably a good thing, and b) will make me seem SUPER weird if I have to answer questions in class, because the undergrads have this thing where they will pronounce the word properly but still with an Aussie sounding accent. Idk perhaps I am just weird. I am also betting that this has developed out of aural, where James would always berate us for pronouncing our solfa in Australian accents when we should be using Italian or at least rounded vowels. I should record myself saying the dialog we've been given so far--it'd be freaking hi-larious. Or at least, it would be equally hilarious and shaming to me.
WHATEVS.
Yesterday got a bit sadpanda-ish after having morning tea with Lee-lee and Ben, because omg they're getting married and bought a house and have everything sorted out and I have no partner and find it hard enough to hold onto a phd topic for longer than a week and draaaamaaaaz. I find it really difficult sometimes with the whole sadpanda thing, because while I will update facebook to inform the world that I have done something incredibly stupid (ie. almost got hit by a car, burned my hand, walked into things, threw nail polish accross the room accidentally, and so on) I basically refuse to update it to inform the world that I am sad, and therefore not quite as awesome as I might lead people to believe. But the thing is, I know at least five people on my select fb list that have basically added me solely because (usually) I am at least moderately entertaining/funny. And no one finds oh-woe-is-me to be entertaining.
DO YOU INTERNET CENSOR YOURSELF? I clearly do.
