Hmm, i never really had the thought that Japanese sounds similar to Korean...
Although i guess all neighboring country languages sound similar just like several European languages, Chinese would fit into there then as well. Dutch and German are more similar i think, but French, Portugese and Greek are also similar sounding i guess, and Swedish, Norse and Fins as well.

@KethliaAwesome, more than anyone here :). I don't know either of those drama's, or do you mean"The 1st shop of coffee prince", i really liked that one. As for k-pop i must admit i also don't listen to much others besides my two favorites; Shinhwa and Kim Jong Kook, for the rest i mostly i only know them by name. Like BoA and Bi, i have heard of them and might have heard some music from them because of the variety show i watch. hihi

I have the feeling we're all around the same age with only a couple of years difference, but i'm curious if that's correct. So if you don't mind, wanna share how old you are?
I'm currently 35 years old, although i seem to life like a 25 year old 

Yeah, i understand about the enter, i love to enter to go to the next line, but i'll try to not enter while on the tabbie hahaha
As for the icon, i saved the bookmark on my homescreen/made a shortcut to the bookmark, or something along those lines. Sorry, i'm kinda new in using a tablet (seriously).

OMG@Tikathey're amazing! Especially love the blue roses, they're done beautifully, and the phoenix 5th pic, i think i remember seeing the design for that one.

@SoulDragon has quite the collection 

You mean dragons?

Hihi, my dragon collection up until a couple of years ago:
http://www.fantasy-etc.nl/dragon-collection/

oh and a pic of me as seems to be the main point of the topic:

Could you make a pretty icon for on my home screen if you have time? @Timberwolf

Or is that something you don't have any say over?

Oh and when I use enter I go down 2 lines, on pc you can do shift+enter, but it doesn't work like that on a tablet apparently...

I actually got a new big tablet so i'll be able to get on here in the evening as well,
because in the evening i don't feel like starting up the pc and sitting at the desk.
(And also to be able to see some handsome guys on a bigger/better screen...)

Japanese is a beautiful language, when watching anime i also picked up some words.

But i've ended up studying Korean after transferring from anime to korean tv, i think as far as culture it's very similar to Japanese, probably the language as well.
It took a while before i really seriously started learning because i couldn't find a teaching method that worked for me. I'm learning on www.talktomeinkorean.com now (maybe there's a same one for japanese), i love the way they teach! It's easy to understand, in short lessons and also the teacher are joking around a bit in between to keep it funny, also whatever you've learned keeps being used in later lessons. It's absolutely perfect for me.

Unfortunately i've found out too late that i have a knack for languages because in school they used a method that wasn't working for me, even my english; i barely passed the class in high school and then i ended up online on forums, and mostly you guys thought me english . When 2 years later i got english classes again the teacher said i was free to come and go to class whenever i wanted because he couldn't teach me more then i already knew (he almost got a heart attack when i signed in Wizards First Rule for writing a book rapport).

haha, well, nice some people know. It's been awhile since i last watche a drama, and then it where mostly old ones anyway. I love watching Runningman (old episodes these days).

@hirondelleLOL I totally agree, i also go for the older guys there. The "boy"-band i like are guys from 37 and 38 years old haha, and another i like very much is 41 years.
Those young ones don't really interest me either like that.
But it's just a kind of tv-shows that can't be found on tv here.

@FireNymph!!!!! ~huggles tightly~ Good to see you again  

Welcome back DA, good to see you again ~huggles~

@SoulDragon I did. Save away.

It's definitely poster worthy 

For the completely random things you feel the need to say but don't really need a reaction on.

Like: My mom just called and asked me if my new bed had eaten me
(i didn't reply to her messages for a long time which is unusual for me, i was too busy reading here hihi)

Well i'm from the Netherlands, so i don't know any better than soft-drugs (and prostitution) being legal.
The government makes tons of money from taxes on it indeed, so they would never make it illegal.
Because it's legal it's a rare thing to find someone who didn't at least tasted a joint in their teens, amazingly my friend only recently tried for the 1st time, he's 35 now hahaha. Anyway, yes because it's legal more people try, but also makes it less interesting for (mainly) teens than it would be if it's illegal. Most of the people i know have tried it and didn't like it or only smoked during their teens at party's and vacations. Some smoke more and still...that's their choice and not bothering anyone. It's much more annoying if there are scary people selling illegal and dangerous stuff than if there is a store with funny colors and green leaves on the window at the end of the street.

I've smoked a bunch of times but didn't like it, the only thing it did for me was make me fall asleep within 10 minutes. I've fallen asleep halfway the stairs to the bedroom and halfway from the camper to the tent i was supposed to sleep in....troublesome and not funny to repeat  .

Staring at green lights sounds a bit odd....maybe when you've eaten a bunch of mushroom's...never tried that.

Well as fr my opinion for gender there are two, either a male or a female (except for when something went wrong with the cells while you're still in the womb).

As for sexual and romantic preferences there are tons of different types.
I do not feel it's bad to give each a name (label), it's handy when you're talking about it, but it's also for the person in question easier to explain what he/she likes.
It makes it easier to find people who like the same as you. With that last thing i have plenty of experience; for years i thought i was the only person on earth who doesn't likes having sex, it was a horrible experience that lasted for very long. Online searches and such thing didn't come up with anything useful for a long time. Finally i found out that there is a term for people like me and using that i found there ARE other people like me, plenty of them and that we use the term a-sexual to identify ourselves. Within that term there are some more to make it more specific, for instance: i don't like sex but would like a romantic relationship with only woman/men/both woman and men (and many more options). Instead of saying/typing that out completely it's so much easier to say i'm one of the bi-a-sexuals. So instead of being so afraid of putting/getting labels, there are also times it's a good/happy or handy thing. At least I was ecstatic finding out that i'm called an a-sexual.
I also like to say i'm a fantasy-metalhead (these days even a kpop-fantasy-metalhead) when people ask what kind of person are you, it's the same thing and labels can go a long way and even be made up by yourself. (you seriously didn't think kpop-fantasy-metalhead was an existing thing, did you? But using that idiotic label i did find other people who like all three as well hahaha) .
As for raising a girl in a girly way and boys in a boyish way...sorry... but that's just human nature, let's stay human at least a bit please.

But well, maybe i'm too simple thinking like that because i also find it annoying i'm not allowed to call a foreigner a foreigner except when they're on vacation here, and all those other things that are not politically correct. What should i call them when i want to identify them/him/her???? (ok that's another topic)

(btw just to be clear; i don't have a problem with other people having sex and talking about sex etc., otherwise i couldn't stay on this forum  (i even wrote something almost 18+  and now that emoticon has become a dirty one...sorry)

Shinhwa - Alright

Before i start to get into total fan-girl/excited mode i just wanna check if anyone has at least the tiniest bit of idea what i'm talking about if i say k-pop, k-drama and/or k-variety.
It's a whole thing, really, the Hallyu wave; meaning korean pop and korean tv shows getting known and getting fans all over the world. But on the other hand, it's still not very well known.

So anyone here interested?

ROTFLMAO @hirondelle, aahh is that it, yes it makes sense hahaha

And here I was thinking it was just  me. Probably not as bad as you guys seeing as I only work like 2 hours a day at the moment the upside if being off ill, all the internet time in the world!

 hahaha i'm "free" from work now for a longer period also.
And today especially i'm having a i'm-dead-today day (been busy the last few days),...so looots of time for reading everything here  

Me too, but mostly from the beginning of PI, when the new forum came (the sort like this one) it became crowded so fast it was too difficult to keep up. Always been SoulDragon except from very early on i used the name Kahlan, i changed when there came other Kahlan's but that was about 18 years ago at least.
After a while i heard about FE and moved there and then ended up on NL somehow
Now, anyone remember/from "Nathan Rahl's place? (that was before PI)

Ooohh those nukes from Brian LOL i remember, it was SO annoying hahaha @Timberwolf
