500!

[ltgmars]

This is apparently my 500th LiveJournal post. To think that I've only had 500 things to say in the span of nearly six years. (Though personally I'm surprised that I even had that much to say.) To celebrate, I'll treat you to some fun facts:

1. I intentionally mispronounce some words. One example would be "Chipotle", which I pronounce "chih-POT-uhl".

2. I unintentionally mispronounce at least two words for regional reasons: "miracle" ("MER-ih-kul") and "pillow" ("PELL-oh"). (I blame my Indiana hometown and the characteristic Midwestern pin/pen merger.) In addition, I unintentionally mispronounce at least one word when read but not when said out of a written context: "awry" ("AW-ree" -- the word splits in the wrong place in my mind when I see it). I also used to misread "determined" as "DEH-tur-mind", and for years I never made the connection to the spoken word "determined" (pronounced correctly), which I knew and used independently.

4. If you misspell something, I will judge you. In turn, if I misspell something, I expect to be judged very harshly and openly. (At least if I'm a hypocrite, I recognize and welcome the consequences. Eheh.)

5. I'm a shameless collector (anal completist). If I've decided to collect something, I collect to completion. One such collection (which I'm still working on) is of Agatha Christie books. I've probably only read a tenth of what I own so far.

6. As of yesterday, I've gone skydiving. *thumbs-up*

7. I'm afraid of the dark and sleep with the lights on.

8. I'm really weak at writing effective summaries (they're either a sentence long or almost as long as whatever it is I'm supposed to be summarizing), so OH MY GOD, CAMI, DON'T RUSH ME.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, "BRAND NEW DAYS"! HOCH SOL DIE LIEBEN, HOCH SOL DIE LIEBEN, HOCH SOL DIE LIBEN, EINMAIL HOCH. . .

:Dv yes i did know the name of your LJ off the top of my head. wags tail, looking for approval in earnest.

now, summary. thanks, doll.

also what the hell is up with your username? it is for 'lesbian transsexual gay mars' (oh mars, that cad!) or is it for 'lieutenant general mars', which i assume is some sad nerdy japanese cartoons thing. inquiring minds want to know.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I never explained it to you? It's actually sadder and nerdier than you thought (and I know you thought of some sad, nerdy things).

"LTG" stands for "Love That Gohan" (from Dragonball Z), and Mars is for Sailor Mars, my favorite character in Sailor Moon. It's been my username almost as long as I've been on the interwebs.

*watches as an ominous finger clicks on the "defriend" button once and for all*

. . .

summary, stat. i - look, until i get some hilarious/ dirty gay sex jokes involving kanjun and arashi we just - you know, i just think we need to cool off until that happens. sorry, but i am trying to save us. this is the only way.









walk at least 30 feet behind me. thanks.

oh wait. so if i were to buy you a username change token, you'd. . . use it, right? right. you'd change it to something cute and ironic. ippeesandoo, for instance. remember when ohno said that on AnS? that was cute, but it also doubles as a sly nod to your love of japanese dialects. hmm? hmmmm?

LoL. I have over 7000. X.DDDD

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Not OVER 9000??? Too bad. :P

You've also been around two years longer. And you post daily, at least. XD

[impressioniste.livejournal.com]

I've never said 'chipotle' out loud, but when I read it, my brain automatically reads it the way you say it. X3

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm the opposite. When I read it, it's pronounced properly, but out loud I've gotten into the habit of mispronouncing it just for the sake of mispronouncing it. XD

[coldwrapped.livejournal.com]

I've apparently posted almost 1000 in the four years since I moved to this journal. And something like 350 in the three years I had the old one. XD

*smooch*

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

It's incredible to think about how much time people (like ourselves) have invested in something like LiveJournal. It's years and years and hundreds of entries. It's the mark of a truly fun and useful site, I guess. XD

Uwah, congrats on your 500th post! /o/ And don't feel bad that you only had 500 entries in 6 years. I've been on LJ for 1.5 years & I only have like, 40 entries. .___.

OMG I pronounced Chipotle the same way you did! Until I heard how my friend said it. /fails I think I still call it that way sometimes lol. XD

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

\o/

But seriously, "chih-POT-uhl" is so much more fun to say than "chee-POHT-lay".

[eternitat.livejournal.com]

I pronounce it "chee-POH-tleh". Phonetically.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

As it should be pronounced, haha! :D
