Don't you just love bering bombarded by radiation in an attempt to determine if you're normal, or a Genetic "step forward?"
Apparently, My lack of third molars on the bottom makes me a piece of an evolutionary chain or some such. Woop dee doo.
Whatever. Dentist trips suck.

Is "Undomesticated Equines" a reference to "Wilf Horses" by the Rolling Stones?
Do you agree with all the stuff about people from Pittsburgh in your profile? I checked several I can more or less refer to and I was disappointed to find that what they have for Spanish and Hispanic have some of the same points and aren't in common really. I remember a friend (Catalan/Spanish) getting cross because in Kill Bill Vol 2 there was a typical (and clichéd) Spanish song when the Bride was driving round Mexico looking for Bill. The lyrics matched with what had happened before in the film, but it's not a flattering confusion in either side. I'm not talking about myself, I'm too mixed up to bother.

Undomesticated Equines is actually from an old episode of Stargate: SG-1, and there's a post about it way back in the archives somewhere.
For a long time I wanted to be bilingual, but it proved to be too much for me. Maybe if I'd started younger, it would have worked, but Spanish never came easy to me.
Anyway, I think I'll add you to my friends list.

OK... I've never watched any Stargate...
I'm now learning French in university and I'd like to go as an Erasmus (exchange) student to France sometime in the next 2 or 3 years, this summer as well, see if I can get a job. I'm an early bilingual-trilingual because of my family and from living in Catalonia. French is my first really foreign language. How old were you when you started wanting to learn Spanish? I believe my dad was in his mid 20s when he went to Venezuela and he barely knew a word in Spanish then, and now, after having lived for about 25 years outside of UK in Spanish-speaking coutries he's really fluent and barely has an accent, and always has been for as long as I remember. So there is hope...
That's always so nice and flattering when someone adds you like this. I've just added you back.

I imagine if I moved out of the US to somewhere spanish speaking, I could get it down, but I just don't see that happening for a long time.
Anyway, while I'm sure I could learn it if I were in a position to use it everyday, it's not the top of my prioritys anymore.
I hear that a third language is easier to pick up than a second, though having grown up with two that probably won't be your experience. Good luck with it regardless; Trilingualism(sp?) is very cool.
