[font=Tahoma] Pax is a nickname of mine in RL and online; it was chosen for one form the Latin word for "peace". (It was more of irony, since I used to have a physically explosive temper. I've mellowed out significantly, though.) Any particular reason you chose Nahuatl?

My native language is Gaddang, though depending on the area, there are also different names for it (Ga'dang, Baliwon, Ginabwal.)

Wow, I'm at the mark where the lyrics on your sig are being sung, and I'm in awe at Asaf Avidan's vocals. You don't always here people like this. I've never really heard of him prior to now, but I'm going to have to listen to the rest of his work now. <3[/font]

So I'm pretty sure I need to be in this cult. Hi guys.

Do you still need someone for plushies?

Yay!
YES we do. Do you want to be an admin? That would entail keeping track of the people who sprint for plushies once a month and administering a prize to the person who makes the most progress. c:

Do you remember when? D:

Please, don't get me the wrong way but for some reason I thought that the language in Philippines was Philipino because it's like when tell we speak "mexican". Gaddang, wow, I learnt something today! Never thought pax would be latin! Makes sense the x.

And nahuatl, I don't know. I was doing a class project and we needed a creative name, here in Mexico the people who still have their traditions from the old world speak a lot of different things and nahuatl is the most common of them (the most common of the uncommons! :D ). I really love culture and traditions so I searched a lot of words for my project and one of the words I used and decided to keep for myself was my UN. It sounded about right and I now use it for a lot of websites!

Asaf has a very popular song called "One day/Reckoning song", the popular one was the remix by Idk who but the original he sings is gorgeous. I am loving his vocals too, he's just too awesome!

Well, that depends how you prononce mononoke. Here in spanish we pronounce them as they are but that doesn't make sense to explain in english because you said ABC different in english than in spanish (or any other language) @

[font=Tahoma] I think it was some time last year. Could be wrong, though -- I was quite inactive from June to December then. :(

I know, right? Even faster than some Small Talk threads (which I tend to shy away from, because of how quickly they move.) Just now, I got 3 pings from this thread in the span of a minute. xD Feel free! I like being referred to by that name. :)

The Philippines has around 193 separate languages, but I don't blame you (I laugh when people think Mexico speaks "Mexican"!) Filipino (yes, that is how it's spelled) is the official language and lingua franca, but most of us only speak it as a second language. When I moved to the city, I understood not a single lick of it -- there is very little intelligibility between my native tongue and the others spoken in my area.

That's a very interesting story behind your username. o v o I was aware that Mexico still has living indigenous languages (i.e. street signs in some places in the country with Spanish and indigenous text,) but wasn't familiar with their names. I've injected some words from my native tongue to class project group names before -- classmates would like it because it's a novel idea to them. :D

... You're going to make me want to change my UN to "Dodori" (our word for cicada.) xD

Though my language is from the ethnic group I descended from, a lot of "living testaments" to our culture are very sparse nowadays, save for folk songs. The songs are almost the only strong legacy passed on to us, and even then, my cousins don't like to learn our language because it's "unfashionable, old-people speak", etc D: On the other hand, I see a lot of people from the majority ethnicity in my province pretend to be one of us!

Yessss I'm listening to the Wankelmut Remix right now! The original is great too, though, although the remix suits my current mood better!

Oh, so I wasn't so wrong! Filipino is a language indeed. And that's how it is spelled in spanish too :P Sorry, wasn't sure.

Cicada! That's a new word. That's a cigarra for me, I don't think they're common here tho... or maybe yes? I've always lived in the city :c How about you go get a tattoo of it! I've seen those draws before but never knew what was it!

I'd be delighted to speak any native language but there's priorities like english and german. I'd love to learn latin, I had a friend who used to go to classes but he left it. And I know a girl who was going with him but never knew if they finish it, I wonder if they were actually learning.

Wankelnut Remix is super great! That's the first one I listened and yeah, it gets you in a great mood. I love it <3

Congrats on the ticket. I haven't had much luck today, somehow. Still some way until I can get the body paint.

Hah, so popular! It's definitely great for getting raffle tickets. ^_^ I'm up to six since they upped the chances. I have so many pseudonyms that I sometimes lose track, haha. >.> I'm pretty positive I'm the only person in the world with my full name, and I like keeping it secret, even from rl friends. shrug

AH I want the body paint too. But the hoarder in me is telling me I need everything from the shop, period. So I need all the raffle tickets. I only have three :x I'm not super talkative

But yes, that's what I did. :) I bought all the cheaper Retired/Special beanbags to get them out of the way before they get expensive. I really don't want to sift through my plushie or sticker wishlist sections shudders

I wanted to quest so badly but life kept me busy. I should have the morning to myself before the hubby picks me up on his lunch. We have errands to run.

@ introvert that's a lot of raffle tickets to get! I gathered as much from your username, but I'm sure you'll get more as time goes on. & maybe your more talkative friends can help you! cough me because after I get that bod paint and since they don't have beanbags/books I'll probably be able to grab some stuff for you couhg
I… am trying to get more into other collections. But there are so many plushies that I'm kind of apprehensive about it ;u;

@ Blip 3057! Oh, wow! You're really up there. Keep us updated on your progress so we can celebrate you when you break onto the high scores! :D YAY FOR RAFFLE TICKETS

@ Mistress_Murder This is really late, but good luck with your errands! c:

Thank you for the luck! Selling's going well so far. :)

@ ksafalis IT IS. It moves really fast.

I love it when I go to the most recent page of this thread and see really random gifs. It's so great

So, does anyone have any clues as to what they're going to sprint for next month? I think I want to do gourmand. Or hoarding! Since that one's supposedly going to retire soon. sweats >.>

I just want to remind to fellow stickers collectors that the anniversary stickers are going to be retired on the 12th of this month (that means, Sunday!) This is the list of those stickers and I am listing them from the easiest to restock to the hardest to restock (and that I'd recommend you buying from SS if you're not an avid restocker) Birthday Card Sticker

[item=Happy Birthday! Sticker] Happy Birthday! Sticker

Birthday Cake Sticker

* Birthday Hats Sticker

* Birthday Presents Sticker

  • means you should buy it from SS

[edit] Also, remember that these stickers are being released for only a month so go figure out how many of them should be out there.

I lied! I mean, I didn't mean to but oh well, sorry!!
