It IS a tiara in a contest, didn't you know? ;)

gasp!! We shall be the triumvirate of Evil Angstiness!! Not only that -- the international triumvirate of Evil Angstiness! We slay our audience not in one language, but three!

... and now I must go eat chocolate and drink coffee to restore normalcy to my sanity (I think it was a bit touched by the end of my latest Faulkner novel...)
Oh, you are always fabulous with details and it makes me envious! Again, brilliant job, love ♥

Oh, really? *waves and puts on a plastic smile* I would like to thank the dear Terra sharing the crown in here, since I couldn't have done it without her, and then I also want to thank- wait! I'm not done yet, don't you dare put music on to shut me up, don't you--

Dude, we can be the ITEA!!!! Armed with languages and imagery, highly dangerous. May cause incontrolable sniffling.

Hey, is Faulkner really any good? I've wanted to read something of his for ages...

Mmm...ITEA! Just one letter away from Swedish Furniture Hostile Takeover!

Or maybe we could brew Evil!Tea. I'm up for that. Earl Angst, Dar-crying, Boohoolong...

Faulkner is... debatable. He has good elements and he has good social commentary. But mostly his plots and characters confuse the hell out of me. :(

It took me some moments to get what you ment. And about the tea too. this are the moments I realize just how much of a mexican I am XDDD (I don't think I've ever reaaaally had tea in my life. Tea while playing playhouse with relatives so doesn't count.) Whatever, we'll proudly hold the flag for ITEA and be angsty all day long *g*

Really? Mmm, I'll have to find myself something a bit lighter then. I'm up to my neck with deeeep books in spanish.

Oh, yes, I worried about that joke right after I hit "Post Comment." Ahhh well, remind me to keep such things in mind in the future, lol. (here I've gone and learned all about tea and Hinduism so I could understand my Indian and Pakistani friends better, and it doesn't help me at all with someone who's Mexican! Teach me, oh Great One!) Agreed, angsty all day :)

Ohhh if you want something light, I would highly recommend Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It's angst done with comedy. Brilliant. (it's his memoirs about how, when he was 22, both of his parents died of cancer six months apart and he had to raise his eight-year-old brother on his own). I got to meet Dave last Spring at a reading and I was greatly impressed by his sense of humor. Nice guy, really :)

Teach you, ah, then you'll have to learn how to swear like a mexican XD

First: the all ocasion word that doesn't go into the somber Mother insult: Chingada. chi-n-ga(as in gag)-da(as in data). Nice word. I say it aaaall the time.

Comedy? with such a hell of a life? now I'm intrigued...

Hmmm... I think I've got the pronunciation down -- the only trouble is there's two different ways to pronounce "data," lol -- some people pronounce it "day-ta" and some pronounce it "dah-ta." I'm assuming you mean the second?

And it sounds like a fun word to say :-D I use the French "zut" allll the time because it's so fun to say, haha. "Merde" is a bit hard to roll off the tongue, though.

Yeah! He's one hell of a funny guy. It has some pretty deep stories behind it, but it's an easy read. And he's young, too, so that shows :)

Okay, so another example... teh da goes as in dalai lama. lol.

Ohh, Zut sounds so pretty, what does it mean? The japanese mild swaring words always make me laugh, since Ahou (moron) is pronounces just like garlic in spanish, and Baka (stupid) is just like Vaca, wich means cow XDDDD

You're studying chinese, right? any cool swear words?

A-ha! I've got it then, nice!

"Zut" (pronounced "Zoot") really just means "damn." There's a phrase the French use to strengthen it -- "Zut, zut, et zut!" -- and it's just SO funny to hear actual French people say, lol. It makes you think of short little angry Napoleon or something.

I haven't actually gotten to studying any Chinese yet -- will do so either after my Spring Break (when I find an adequate program and when most of my schoolwork is completed), or during the summer. I will let you know, though, if I learn anything good ;)
