I thought it was your birthday.
Tch, he's not at a condolence year yet. YOUNGSTER!
(Happy birthday, RawPower)
I thought it was your birthday.
I am very well aware of the way how people usually use that expression.Usually, you say "my condolences" when some tragedy befalls someone. Unless you consider being one step closer to death as a tragedy, then it's in the wrong context. ;p
I appreciate the gesture, though.

I feel you there darling. That sounds exactly like me when I am at work. ^__^I used to write articles for a Finnish based company. Way too many K's in that language =P
Not that the above is of any consequence to you, or you should care in any way. I'm just filling dead air here because I'm bored at work.
Certainly all of the above.Hahah. Darling, what did you actually approve? The fact that it has been my favourite game, the notice that even I have been small and innocent once or actually the sad reality that I am neither small nor that innocent nowadays... or perhaps all of those?
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond I didn't expect you to, but I'm quite glad. As a linguist even details about language acquisition most would find mundane are fascinating to me, lame as that is to admit.I surely don't mind you asking, the answering part is a bit harder though. It totally depends how you define the term "bilingual". Finnish surely is my native language and both of my parents were and are Finnish. I haven't also never lived anywhere else but in Finland.
Still I need to add, that I have been in English kindergarten and I have spoke (at least some) English way before I could read or write. Also if I would just talk English with you, you wouldn't most likely even suspect I would be from Finland or even think that English wouldn't be my mother tongue. I have been told I have quite posh English accent (I can't really comment, I don't hear my own accent at all). Also when I switch from Finnish to English I automatically also change the language I am thinking in: When I speak Finnish, I surely think in Finnish too, but if I talk or write English, my thoughts are also in English so I don't really need to translate myself but only type or speak what is in my mind. For example if I need to use Swedish, I don't master the language well enough to do that.
And damn, I don't think you expected me to open up, at least not that long. Hahah. But yeah, I anyways don't consider myself bilingual, even if I can admit that I am quite fluent in English, but when I compare it to Finnish... Well, I am good, but I am far from perfect
We are going to get along just fine.I am very well aware of the way how people usually use that expression.
I have done that too once or twice.I just called myself a slut over Facebook.
I told you I was obnoxious.
Come on dear, you can come out of the closet.Many of my statuses are homo-erotic in nature. Heheheheheh.
Alright guys gotta go get ready for my fat Tuesday excursion that has been forced upon me. I shall report in from time to time with photos. I am trying to devise a way to have fire involved the likes of which I have not achieved yet. I'm not going to be out real late so I should be in TC later tonight.
Come on dear, you can come out of the closet.
Your reading of the intro paragraph about string theory is still among the highlights of my past couple weeks.Eek! A discussion about language. This day is off to a great start
You are bisexual? Why you then even bother and try to get a girl? Come on, kidnap yourself some nice lad and save some energy and nerves. Seriously. I like tits and asses too, but men are way easier and cheaper to maintain.As a bisexual? I never hid that from anybody.
'Cept homophobes, of course.

I should really work on an aussie accent just so I can speak to myself in it when I need to calm down.

I fool around a bit with my buddies, but it doesn't go beyond that. Being gay/bi is not easy in my area.
What do you mean by cheaper to maintain?
we shouldn't forget birth control (if you are a lad), waxing, cosmetics, parfums, clothes, shoes, hair products... and so forth that she things you should also provide just because she does all that "just for you".I'm guessing the wine, dine and emotional structure that has to be built to keep some women happy.

Plus of course all the drama that you need to bear too.
Just get yourself a lad and be happy.
Can anyone recommend some good reading on string theory?
You can now stop living in that adorable dream land of yours.Well, not all girls are like that, are they?

*pat pat* Attaboy.Guys it is, then.
Fuck that noise.
Shhh. He just started to listen me and got a new awesome course to his life.No, just like not all men aren't like that.
You can now stop living in that adorable dream land of yours.
Yes, they are.
Lol. I might be.Please tell me you're joking with this... :|
Yeah I'd have to say the only thing that could possibly cause any offense would be my political / religious views but I think most people are pretty open minded.
Lol. I might be.
Perhaps I try to keep all of them to myself.
^__^
Hahah. I can also heartily agree with you. We are going to get along just fine.Certainly all of the above.
No problem. I am always happy to use my valuable time to answer totally irrelevant and random questions. (And that wasn't even sarcastic, just the horrid truth.)Thanks so much for taking the time to respond I didn't expect you to, but I'm quite glad.

I'm happy with myself because I guessed correctly- you aren't natively bilingual in that you don't have native exposure to both your L1 (Finnish) and your L2 (English). But you are, in fact, bilingual by the definition of being highly proficient in two languages. So congratulations! You're obviously fluent in English; due to certain quirks in your writing style (plus your picture) I was going to ask if a Scandinavian language was your native tongue. Now I don't get the chance to impress you by being a language nerd. Oh well.
I know.But some poor (straight) guy out there might actually believe what you told me.
None of us can be perfect.
Some of us are pretty damn close.
You know I was thinking it, my good man, you didn't have to make the plebs feel so very small.Some of us are pretty damn close.
Hah!We shouldn't rub it in.
You know I was thinking it, my good man, you didn't have to make the plebs feel so very small.
Well aren't you a pater patriae.You know I was thinking it, my good man, you didn't have to make the plebs feel so very small.
Ah, still good to hear it is only relatively short time period.None of us can be perfect. Double-posting is bad, but the shame of it will haunt you only for two, maybe three years, at most.
Started Mass Effect! I made my Shepard a red head because red heads rule. O:

I cannot tell a lie, I was born on the same day as my country. This confers certain degrees of excellence unto a person that are difficult to reproduce.Well aren't you a pater patriae.

I think I see what you did there...Strange. I would think sterile people wouldn't think of themselves excellent at all, given the social acceptance that it is expected of you to procreate, but ok sure.
