Hey there, I'm Olof and I decided that, after spending the entire week studying Na'vi and actually printing Na'vi in a Nutshell and the vocabulary, I should join this forum! I have started to get a basic grasp on the grammar, and I feel confident that this is the language for me!  ;D

As for me as a person, I'm your average LARPing nerd who worships Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Stargate, and of course: Avatar. It was love at first sight, and then that love turned into something surprisingly similar to that feeling I get when I eat a cheese doodle/chocolate/potato chip sandwich. I actually did try to learn a little of the language then, but I gave up for some reason. Anyway, Avatar was swiftly replaced by Doctor Who, which almost outshines Harry Potter! And thus I almost forgot about the whole thing, though I still loved the movie. But a few months ago I came up with an idea for a LARP group, humans with the spirits of animals, highly inspired by native Americans. I decided a few weeks ago that they needed some unique slang, and thus I chose Na'vi, that I modified to my purposes. As the culture grew, so did the vocabulary, and soon I didn't really feel that the modified words felt right, and I was going deeper and deeper into the language, and at last I was surrounded by it, and then I knew that I wanted it. So I deleted it all, and replaced them with the proper words, but it didn't feel like enough. And there I was, watching the extended version of the movie, and then my character decided to be all fluent in Na'vi, and I knew that memorizing a few phrases wouldn't be enough, so I decided to actually learn it. But, and this is a big but, learning Na'vi has during this week become so much more than just some words I will randomly blurt out among knights, elves and orcs. It has become an obsession, and I'm lovin' it!

If you read all of that, thank you. Here's a cookie! *gives cookie*
Everyone is a nerd, period.
