When I was a wee young thing, I went to a language camp in Minnesota to learn Norwegian*. As a less young thing, in ninth grade I first had the option to take a language class in school, and since Norwegian was not offered I chose German as the next best thing. I remember well what a shock it was to go from soft, casual Norwegian (admittedly a ( Read more... )

................ I didn't know you were such a language nerd. LOL. That is so cool, you learned Norwegian! I actually have no idea what that sounds like. Or Latin, for that matter. (I get more interested in Latin the more I read about ancient history... *__*)

Gabe's still a cutie, come on. ;D I like how the lashes and lips turned out! So does this mean you won't be needing my services~? XDDD (Maybe you forgot since it was forever ago >_> I fail)

I am a gigantic fucking language nerd are you kidding, I wrote a paper for a linguistics class about anime fandom's usage of Japanese!

I don't remember my Norwegian very well at all, but it has a really nice sound - Scandinavian language so it really does sound a bit like softer German.

Latin sounds like SRS BSNESS.

Yaaaay thanks! And I remembered, but - no longer being employed I can't really afford a faceup that I don't do myself, so I figured I'd suck it up and do it when the weather changed. n.n;;; Sorry! But you're still first on my list if I ever decide to get Chelidon's face redone. X3

Hahah XDDD Well, I knew you were hugely into Latin, but I didn't know you studied other languages too. You're so awesome. ♥ That must have been an interesting paper, it's quite fascinating how anime nerds use Japanese words in their regular conversation, LOL.

I bet it does sound cool! I've heard some other Scandinavian languages in movies, and they're all really neat. :D Latin sounds like srs bsness huh. I gotta look into that. XDD

No need to apologize m'dear, obviously you do what you want. X3 And hey, painting your own dolls is fun, right? :D I want to see moooreeee~~

♥ *flails in happy embarrassment* I wish I could make time for more linguistics studies, it's really fascinating but of course all my time now is eaten up with Greek and Latin...

Aha, I shall probably have more pictures soon, kinda depending on what I do with this new fic I have started...
