Actually, iTunes was cheaper by 3 bucks. Just saying.

Nice font! Didn't know that was possible here.

Yeah, it is, but it's a pain to change every time!

My embarrassing moment was telling my boyfriend about my new Na'vi hobby. I'm a geek, and he's more of a mainstream sports guy, though he can be geeky, too. We saw Avatar together, and about a week later..."Honey, you know how some people learn Klingon? Well..."

Also, one of my friends posted on his Facebook that he's learning Na'vi, and I was so relieved that someone I actually knew was learning, so I commented and made myself sound like a huge dork. I apologize for making fellow Na'vi students look bad!

Haha, I haven't told my boyfriend yet, but I've told three friends who are sworn to secrecy on pain of death.

why not make them learn it too , they might teach others aswell afterwards and soon you won't have to hide it anymore    ;D
I wanted you to know
I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph
I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'cause i'm broken,
when i'm lonesome
and i don't feel right
when you're gone away

 Hmmm, Mo'at said "It is hard to fill a cup that is already full". When Jake said he wasn't a scientist, she got interested in him. Perhaps she was saying that people that think they know everything, don't want to learn from people they consider inferior. And that they think them inferior because they don't know anything about them. Circular logic.

Another lesson from this film.

Darn it, I did it again.  STAY ON TOPIC, Txepäsiyu!

This happens all the time in the real world.  I remember much of what I am exposed to, and am able to recite much of it, but I can never truly know any of it I think.

Because they don't really care about it. They think the movie is good, but it didn't really inspire them like it inspired me. Plus I'm in a big language-friendly group so we're all learning Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, etc. They usually think the one language is bad enough, I'm the only one stupid enough to try doing multiple languages.

well I don't think it's stupid , I'm a huge fan of languages too , I speak fluently german (native leanguage) , english and there was a time I tried to learn spanish or even japanese because it fascinated me , I think why I'm trying to learn Na'Vi is because it's got alot of similarities to my native language and it sounds quite familiar too , specially many similar sounds , if you need any help with your german I'd love to help you out  :)

I don't think its stupid either, but I'm more academically ambitious than they are!!

I'm not personally learning German, I took four years of Japanese and now I'm studying Chinese, but thanks! ^^

I've been learning german for a bit, and it definitely helps with pronunciation. But the bigger difference from English and german is the free word order. Love it.

Last week mum walked into my room when I was avatarising myself in photoshop and she said "Oh that's so cute, you want to become a real avatar and go to Pandora". I just couldn't bring myself to tell her that I was learning Na'vi after that. :\

She should have more likely asked herself "Who wouldn't want to ?"

She should have, but didn't. :P

Today I told my friend I'm learning Na'vi and he gave me this really weird look that sort of said "I'm worried, but I'm sure you'll grow out of it".

ye , i understand , that's just the thing about us humans , we don't like what we don't know , but you should stick to the things you like to do , maybe you should tell your friend why you are learning it or maybe you should take him to the cinema and let him see himself why you do it :)

with such a reaction you'll just make mothers nervous about stuff and even more curious , you should show her that it's not bad in any way , maybe she'll even  join in  ;D
