Back From Vacation

[asuka_was_here]

Greetings, all. Just wanted to let you know I have returned from my lovely trip to the Bahamas. Which was interesting, to say the least. Well, then. I'll have to elaborate more tomorrow, when I'm alive (read: not about to collapse from exhaustion), and when I mange to upload some of my four hundred photos

"Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long. If you're going my way..."
I'll shut up now.

Welcome back! I'll be delighted to look at your gallery of lizards and other such beings upon my return tomorrow. Go get some sleep.

The tablet will show up eventually; be patient.

Did you get sunburnt? I told you not to et sunburnt. Did youget drunk or tipsy either? Are you in one piece? Are you missing a vital part of your being? And I don't mean your virginity; unless you were raped I don't care if you go lose your virginity.

I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Ja!

I di not get sunburnt (actually, I barely got tan), I did not get drunk, no one would be ABLE to tell if I got tipsy because I always act that way, m being is entiely whole, I still have my virginity, and our car has some issues. More on that later.

You are way to high-strung when it comes to being worried about people :P

So the worst thing that happened is that your car has issues? Ok, good. And yes, I know I worry too much, but that's me.

The car is no longer attached it's fender. Which we have named Curtis. Enough said.

Welcome back!

Can't wait to see your pictures! I love pictures of nature!!!

In France we can say "Salut" for both hello and goodbye. I think that word would be the equivalent of "hi" in english when you say hello, it's a bit familiar, but used every days lol

Thanks!
I'm atually cleaning up the pictures right now - there are just way too many to post them all, really, so I'm going through and picng out the best ones. I had a really big problem with overexposure because the sun down there is so intense, but other than that, I have some pretty crisp close-ups. I might post a few to my deviantART account, too.

That's interesting - my first response to that, incidentally, was to compare to the panish "salud," which means "health" and is used when someone sneezes (sort of like the English "bless you!"). Then I recalled the English "salutations," which, admittedly, is really more of a greeting than a farewell, but probably more closely related.
One of these days, I think I might accidentally kill someone with too much etymology. o.0' I do love examining words, though ^^'

I'm downloading your pictures now! =D

I love ethimology as well! There is a very book if you want (I havenn't read it all yet because I'm lazy when it comes to read in english, but it's great!), it's called The Mother Tongue: English & How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson.

Oh good; I hope you enjoy them! I'm sorry about the blurry ones, though... those are usually the ones I save to make icon texture cuts from, so I stuffed them in there, but some of them are pretty ugly to look at. ^^' I'm certainly not the world's best photographer.

That actually sounds like a really interesting read. Especially since we just studied slang, etymology and language in my Anthropology course. I'll have to keep it in mind. Thanks for the recommendation!
(I totally just ordered a copy of it from Amazon.com for kicks :P I love how you can get twenty dollar books there for six bucks :P)
