New words are always fun to learn!

[hwan_woong]

I had an interesting conversation with Neal today. It all started with a question. At first I thought it was just a simple question of asking the definition of some highly educated & convoluted vocabulary word. Neal refused to aid me in this quest to learn more English vocabulary. (By the way, the word happened to be "funky.") That was quite a

Ah, you have a tux??? shoot......is it seriously okay to wear a suit??
ugh..

And yes, you do seem different in your LJ. LOL

[hwan_woong]

That was a typo. ^-^;; I guess it was some kinda of Freudian Slip? (I learned this in Psychology textbook I borrowed from JP!)

I think you are more open in your live journal. In front of other people, you tend not to divulge your feelings as much, I think. But it's cute ^_^.

Speaking of word definitions, I had a similar experience today! It was during seventh period. Paul and I had a short discussion over the word "kinky." I told him I wasn't really sure what the word meant; "something strange or weird," I thought. Apparently not so, though, judging by Paul's laughter. It's probably something dirty, knowing Paul.

Just remember Kinki (province in Japan) and kinky (um...find a dictionary)...are two very different things!

[hwan_woong]

Haha ^-^

What does kinky mean any way? There are so many words I don't know of... I guess I should buy a slang dictionary.

For you edification

Hoffmann,

nerd = Edward
kinky = not Edward
funky = Edward's hair when he used gel all the time

Better Definitions:

nerd: a foolish or
contemptible person who lacks
social skills or is boringly
studious: one of those nerds who
never asked a girl to dance.

funky: having or using a
strong dance rhythm, in
particular that of funk: some
excellent funky beats.

2. strongly musty: cooked
greens make the kitchen smell
really funky.

and lastly,

kinky: involving or given to
unusual se*ual behavior.

(of clothing) s****lly
provocative in an unusual
way: kinky und***ear.

2 having kinks or twists: long
and kinky hair.

Yay, I am so glad you are coming, Hoffman! Oooh...tux! I'm excited~~ ^_~

Online I think I am also a "different" person...really I am just like more like the real me... Without the awkwardness of actual face-to-face contact I can spill...a lot...(maybe too much) about myself. It is kind of overwhelming, even for me sometimes. But I don't think it's a bad thing to have a forum where we can release all our bottled-up thoughts and emotions, you know?

Sometimes I think it is best to know a person online and off to get an impression of their whole self...if you know what I mean?

[parking149]

well, i don't think any of me (at school, home, or on line) is real me. i'm not sure who real me is. but i feel like there are a part of real me at home, another part of real me at school, and probably more in different places...i don't know what i'm talking about. forget it. i real don't know who i am...do you know who you are?

[fireflyrebirth]

No...

Figuring out who we are is what we are all doing this time of our lives, I think.

[hwan_woong]

what do you mean by "real me"???

[evitable]

Yay, you've decided to come to Prom!

I guess it is kinda hard to figure out the meaning of the words "funky" and "nerd" without context. You just have to hear it being used a lot and you'll gradually understand.

I think people are less inhibited online and can express their emotions more, especially on livejournal 'cause it's like a journal. I used to keep a journal to write in when I was sad or angry... but now I just do it online!

[hwan_woong]

I don't know if I could ever write perfecly honest in live journal.
