Earlier [livejournal.com profile] kajafoglio provided a link to the Geeks in Love flash animation, and from the To Much Spare Time website I found a link to Zero Wing Rhapsody in which the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody are replaced with the dialog from Zero Wing.

You could hurt yourself laughing watching that thing. It really ought to have a warning label. :)

*blink* This is reeeally random, but I found your journal through the list of people who'd listed Esperanto under their interests...I do that sometimes, since Esperantists are interesting people. *nod* I notice also that you're interested in other languages too and like anime--and generally seem to be a cool and intriguing person. Therefore, I am going to friend you, but as I'm doing it without permission and prior to uncovering your stance on random-friendings, feel free to yell at me if you don't like it and I'll gladly take it off. :3 Anyway, uh, yei? **hopes she hasn't come off too creepy o_O**

It would be rather hypo, hipo... dictionary... hypocritical (ugh, I hate it when I can tell that I don't know how a word is spelled) of me to complain since I have done the same.

I'm interested in Esperanto, but my actual skill in it amounts largely to recognizing the name. Probably about ten years ago I got a book out of the library and did the first few chapters, but without practice almost all of it faded away. I do now have a book I grabbed at one of the local used book stores, but at the moment I'm mainly slowly trying to learn Spanish.

I do find the workings of languages to be very interesting to study. If I had more money and time I would take some linguistics classes. Some of the interest has come by way of becoming interested in constructed languages (while a few people have made some money making languages like Klingon and spoken Egyptian for Hollywood, there are a fair number of people who do so just for the fun of it -- one could almost think of these as linguistic fanfics).

Taking a peek over at your LJ and Sheezyart page. Hmm, reminds me I really ought to pull out the drawing tablet I've started carrying and do more. Clutter, oh my, I don't think my bedroom has been uncluttered once since moving in. The rest of the apartment off and on, but my room... ouch.

I ought to start posting weekly scans of something I've drawn (which sounds like an excuse to get a scanner before paying off the other card :/), and something I've learned of Spanish. That way people could poke me if I didn't post something.

Hopefully my love of parenthesis would seem too creepy. *^.^*

Ohhhh gosh that Sheezyart is so old...need to deal with updates...too many...x.x But yesh, I would be interested to see your drawings. :D Sheezyart is a good gallery/artist community site, albeit a little unreliable--provided you can commit to keeping up with it, which as of the past few months I -really- haven't.

Esperanto is superly awesome, but more for the community that it embodies, rather than the language, which is a tad dull. I can communicate decently in it and read it fairly easily--but I can't really say I enjoy doing so on a purely linguistic level. It's more of a cool way to meet other language geeks and then develop a reason to explore -their- languages, which are almost surely more interesting. Spanish, on the other hand...can't be beat. I wish I were better at it, haha.

Oh, and by the way- parenthesis are worthy of love. :3
