Awagode

Maybe it's just on my mind xDDDDDDDD. And sorry, I just edit it :3.

Yeah, I know they sometimes mention it, but they list them as they do for a language that they speak fluently. I think (if my memory doesn't fail me), that there's already anorther topic for the languages you learn (anyway, I'm not 100% sure). So, in that way, you're right . The other thing is that learning them and knowing random words are two different concepts. As I said, I know how to say happy birthday in 10 languages, but I do not learn them. Argh, I'm beeing really repetitive, but I just needed to get it off my mind. Duh. D: Sorry for this reaaaallly boooring speech.

Well, the topic is spoken laguages, right? Cause I see lots of people who know some words in 'x' language and they include them in the list. I think that you speak a language when you can communicate and writte (even if it's not perfect). BUT NOT SOME WORDS. I mean, I can sing happy birthday in, at least, 10 languages, but I don't speak them. Even if I do have some notions. I can say 'I love you' in 8, and I don't speak them neither. Say you are learning them, but don't say you speak them. I've been learning German for 7 years, and I'm still not fluent at all, so I just say I'm learning it, but I don't speak it. My intention is not no offend anyone, it's just that I'm into languages since I'm little, and I know the enormous effort that you must do if you really wanna get it. Random words it's not even a level (: That's quite all. I just wanted to enphatise this point ^^.

Guys, in a few days time I'm going to see a Dojo with my father in order to see if he finally agrees on letting me learn Aikido. *O*. I wrote an email to them weeks ago and they are willing to see me and my parents. I'm beeing quite insistent with martial arts, so my father said yes ·3·. So Cindy, maybe if you do the same as me your parents will make up their mind. Try to find a good place near home and talk to someone, then take your father/mother with you, so they can see what karate really looks like. And good luck!

I couldn't stop laughing when someone told me her guinea pig just got eaten by a fox >__< (there was also a girl with whom I had a private joke about it).VERY VERY embarrasing moment ·//·.

Thanks very much ^__^.

Heart it today in the news. It was actually quite shocking >_<. Great everything is OK. At least the buildings were prepared.

Kyuu, he got sooooo owned xDDDDD.

As I asked to AixConan: have you ever used your martial art's skills in real life? I mean, aside of your training lessons, have you ever needed self-defense in your daily life? I'm just curious about it (:.

Thanks! I'll take your warnings really seriously (:.

Oh, effort is not an issue. I've done lots of other sports and I don't usually give up. Martial arts are something I've always wanted to do and I thing I'll handle it. That's another reason I want to choose well, because I want to be happy with my choice.

Wow, that was really helpful o_ó. Basically, I want to learn something useful that I can apply in real life. I don't live in a dangerous place and my city is usually calm, but if I have to do something I want to do it right. What I like about Aikido is that it inclues that mental training as well. My weight is 50 kg and I'm 1'60m height - more or less. According to that, I want to take advantage on what I could do best. (As you can see I still quite lost xD). Wich one does defense and attack at the same time, using not just the physical strength but more aspects of your body's natural moves?

Ok, I'll try with Krav Maga. Now the problem is that I'm from Spain, and martial arts are very rare here. And my father said he would let me do it if it was only for girls. So I'll try to find something not to far from home and just for girls and I'll tell you. You've helped me a lot, and I've discovered many styles that I didn't know, so thank you, thank you very very much ^.^ Edit. I just read more about Aikido. I seems really interesting as well. Can you also tell me something about it, please *-*? Any personal experiences are welcomed. I've found a good center (a little bit far, but whatever) and I would like to try it.

^Suika, I forgot to say I'm not flexible at all ;___;.

Oh! And how do I know wich style suits me best? (I'm a bit of an ass, I know ;_;. I may be saying sooo stupid things that the ones who really know about this may have their ears bleeding.I'm really sorry, I just want to get it right!).

Sorry for the Conan-Ayumi fans, but it's always been ShiRan and (thanks God) it will still be like this (or that's what it looks like ). It would seem way to unrealistic if Conan lets Ran down for Ayumi or Haibara. I think that Ayumi is cute and really sweet, but she is only 7-8 years old, and we all know that Conan is 17. Obviously, he knows that Ayumi's feeling are not the same as Ran's and if they were, he just doesn't want to hurt her (or maybe he is as blind as a mole, as always xDD - I'm talking about love, of course!). He loves her, but as a little sister. She may be quite anoying sometimes but -sigh- she's still young. ~ (Come on Shinichi! We want to see how you kiss Ran! :mrgreen: ).
