my vocab has seriously gone down the drain..I stopped at 40 then it went slowly 8DD;;

Lol I can make an educated guess on a lot of the words, based on their stems and a minor knowledge of other languages, but sometimes I'll have no clue what the given word and the correct word mean and it annoys me. XD

yes.... some of them I knew. But most were guesses...although looking @ google was so tempting ;___;

It was kind of amusing how after a certain number of errors, it makes you restart? I think after 120 grains? :'3

haha i actually guessed on the first few words then i started to loseee badly hahaha XD that's pretty neat, i donated 120 before i really stopped cuz i was like O.o? hahaha

Yay! Someone somewhere is a little less hungry! XD

Hiya! I saw you in NaNo website and came here and friended you! xD I might do NaNo this year although my English sucks, I don't want to write in Spanish and I don't really know what to write about... xD

threxhi October 22 2007, 20:03:02 UTC

Hi! :D Always glad to have more NaNo and NEWS loving friends! XD And you should totally do NaNo and no, I don't say that to EVERYONE. But um... start it in English and if you get stuck then just throw in some Spanish? And you could always write a fanfic! XD

nira_chan October 22 2007, 20:11:45 UTC

Yeah... I was thinking of writing a fic but I need a plot *thinks thinks thinks* What will you write? :DDD

I think I'm going to rewrite my NaNo from two years ago, the first year I did it. It's fantasy about a city in a desert and everyone's dying from a combination of overuse of resources and septicemic plague. A member of the royal family (Threxhi, actually, that's where I got my LJ name XD) sets off to try to find the incarnation of their god that is supposed to be the solution to all of this and... yeah. I want to change a lot of it, but I have no ideas and I've had no time to do any plotting. XP I just hope that when NaNo starts, words will come-- I don't care if they're good words, I just want words! XD

hah great incentive there.

threxhi October 22 2007, 20:04:45 UTC

It's quite amusing to do when I'm procrastinating bored. XD

That's pretty awesome. XD Except I got to level 35... and then I stopped. XD;; At least my level didn't drop? But seriously, I'd never heard of some of the words... oO;;

threxhi October 22 2007, 20:06:31 UTC

Lol my level was hovering around 39 for the most part and then my roommate would take a break from Guitar Hero and do the rice thing and it would drop, and then I'd take a break from Guitar Hero and it would slowly climb back up again and we kept doing that for a little while. XD Got like 4,000 grains donated between the two of us, though! XD

And you are not alone in never having heard of some of the words! XD
