The field of lilies and a few scattered dreams. A pair of mouse ears and a big red bow.
You'll find a lot here. Or maybe nothing at all. It's a collection of junk and treasure. You may also find some of my lunch.

Sure am. American born and adopted. Scottish background. My birthmother was first of her family to be born in the US. It gets really complicated from there, but that’s a story for a book and not tumblr. :B
We met playing World of Warcraft. :B We’re gamer nerds. We were friends for a while and we helped each other with college stuff. I dragged him to meet me in Disney World since he goes to school in Mississippi. We were getting cutesy before then.
I can share a pic. >:DThat’s Alex and Geeky. He still plays Warcraft. I can’t anymore.
And I just sent his sorry butt off to bed, that punk.Ah, I see. That’s just too adorable. I love how the internet can bring people together. Too cute!!!!
The internet and dwarves brought us together! Then I ruined him forever with Disney things. I am not a very good girlfriend. :) Well at least I’ll play messenger and send tweets to our favorite actors on his behalf, that lazy boy.
But thank you. :) I’ll let him know when he’s on aim next.

When I read things in English, I just take a guess. I’m just lucky I’m right most of the time and that I can “fake it”. People say I’m good. They don’t understand I’ve just read a lot of things and experimented with writing.
He is! The little stalker is likely reading this exchange right now. He lives in Thessaloniki. :D And he’s there with his mom and his sister right now.
You know he probably should be sleeping now that I’m thinking about it… I should probably go yell at him over AIM.But you’re American, are you not?
Ha, hi boyfriend! That’s adorable, really. How’d the two of you meet?

We do exercises to help us with annunciation. This one is modified from Singin’ in the Rain lyrics:
Moses supposes his toeses are roses but Moses supposes erroneously for nobody’s toeses are poses of roses as Moses supposes his toeses to be.
You do it with a rhythm and you go faster and faster. Not all of it is proper English but it’s the sound you have to get. Say it clearly and say it loud enough to be heard.
We have a bunch of them. Some of them are just a few words long. Red leather, yellow leather. Unique New York. You know you need Unique New York.
They’re tools actors use for speech. If I can’t be heard as an actor, I am one BAD ACTOR. :B
Since my boyfriend hasn’t been speaking English since he left school in the winter, I told him my actor’s exercises might help and also might irritate him.
English is confusing and difficult and I don’t even know how people can have the patience for it. It really has so many rules. When in doubt, give a little more and hope for the best. But because I’m native, I just tend to go on auto pilot and black out how difficult it really is.
I’ll still tease my boyfriend for getting rusty, though. It’s an excuse! I know he’ll tease me when I’m learning Greek.I see, I see. That’s actually quite helpful, yes. Woah. That’s really sweet, actually!
I go on automatic pilot with English as well. It’s something you need to sense, need to feel, I find. I just mess it up with my own language’s grammar.
Oh, Greek is such a treat and awfully difficult! Is your boyfriend native?

In other news… My meds are wearing off…
greece
winners of my heart
iz okay, thats the only thing you could afford to win anyway
Boyfriend: …..xDDDD
My boyfriend laughed at this.
He shouldn’t be. Because he couldn’t say the name Moses earlier. >.>
What did you think/were pronouncing it as?Moses, really?
I don’t know. I’m really cautious of mispronunciations, so we pronounce pretty much every letter, including the silent a. Like, Hun-ga-ry. And well, I usually don’t think of Hungary as of Hungary, but more in my own language, where it’s named differently.Yes I was trying to explain to him what “Golly Moses!” was. When he said he was trying to say it, I had to tell him The Bible. I warped his mind with one of my actor’s exercises afterwards. He hates me. :B
It always seems better to pronounce every letter when I’m uncertain so I agree with that logic. :) I think Hungary is a little interesting because while you say the country’s name as Hungry, the people are Hungarian and you can hear the A better.
Words are funny, yet awesome. And proper names are confusing.Actor’s exercises? What do you mean?
Yes, I agree, but sometimes in English, you don’t pronounce certain letters - which is confusing! Oh, I agree. When you say Hungarian, the A is definitely there!
It is! Language is always fascinating!

I’d appreciate if Azerbaijan took second.
Boyfriend has no true opinion right now.
This has been Geeky watches Eurovision without actually watching it and uses people to vicariously watch it.
Seriously I’m getting some international packages next year. Shit I’m going to have to because US tv doesn’t show anything good. :(
