@Fading - Yeah, slang can get complicated. Like when people say "That's sick!" But they don't mean "That's gross." They mean "That's amazing/awesome/great!"

@Fading - XD I use dude a lot. But more like an exclamation than a noun. ^_^;; Like, "Dude! That's crazy!"

I was just going to say something else and you made me forget =/

*thinks* Man...what was it? x_X It was something else about slang...crap.

And then there's all those common sayings that you have no idea what they mean.

You read them and you're all "What?" And then you have to figure out what the heck they mean. I remember puzzling them out in French class. One of my favorite things was just window shopping. Window shopping means browsing or whatever, but the translation in french means "Window licking". :rofl:

@Fading - The French say "lèche-vitrines" and lèche mean lick. Thus, it translates to window licking. XD

@Risika - Um...tree brains and translating?

@Fading - DON'T DO IT! It'll hypnotize you into sleep again!!! D:

@Risika - I'm a one language girl too. I studied both French and Japanese, but I don't speak either of them, just English. Well, ok, I can read a bit of French, but I have the vocabulary of a three year old or something XD

I love mushrooms! I'd never eat some random orange fungus off a tree. Most random fungus are poisonous! But I do love non-poisonous mushrooms :D

@Fading: Nope! Or not really anyways. I can eat them, but I'd much rather not. They have a funny texture, especially sometimes when they're cooked. >.<

@Cookie: French is too flowery for me, but I did take some Spanish in school. I wish I could study Japanese properly. I don't have the confidence to try and learn a second language without a proper learning environment. I'd hate to get it wrong. Dx

Yeah, random brightly colored tree fungus = bad for your health.

I love the way mushrooms taste...well, not so good when they're raw, but I love them when they're cooked properly! <3

Same here. I want to have the right learning environment...so hopefully one day I'll get stuck in Japan or something to learn some authentic Japanese XD;;

@Fading - Don't do it! Don't give in!

We should have a mushroom shaped wedding cake! XD

@Risika - Aww, mushrooms are yummy. Well, some of them. There are some that I can't eat at all. There's this one kind of mushroom that pops up in some Asian food, might be a shitake mushroom, but it has the worst texture, like rubbery bubble gum. Ugh. i hate it.

Ironic that you would say that as both French and Spanish are romance languages with the same basis. They are quite similar. I took some Spanish as well. I've studied three languages! None of which I can speak. I think I'd do better studying Japanese on my own though. If I could motivate myself to do it, I'd be better at it than under the stress of a classroom environment, trying to keep pace and stuff or have an angry little Japanese lady yelling at you.

I'm not very good at picking up languages. I did french lessons for like, 6 years and nothing has stuck in my mind. I love the idea of talking in a different language though. I just don't have the patience and drive to make myself remember any of it D:
I haven't really tried mushrooms, but I don't think I like them from what I have had..
I'm going for a shower now though, bye!
