Don't worry, puzzlebox, I have close friends with a similar relationship (jokes only we can get, years of shared experiences, certitude we'll always be here for each other even if somehow we're not in contact for a while...). While I realise it can't be the exact same thing, I certainly don't feel a "gap" or like I'm missing anything.
In a way, I guess they are my family more. I think it's a good thing that I chose them and worked on getting that close rather than have it "just happen", if I'm making sense. It makes it feel more special to me.
I totally get that. My family are socially obligated to love me, and I am absolutely certain that they will be there no matter how much I screw up.
Likewise, there are a couple of non-family people in the world where I know I could turn up on their doorstep in desperate need, after years of no contact, and be assured of emotional comfort and a place to stay. Some people are just more awesome than I deserve.
(I'll say humanity, all of us, etc etc. This comes from an American's point of view)
It's one thing to love and accept some one, it's another thing to watch them at the end of their puppet strings in the hands of a jack ass. He lives in this socially constructed reality know as life, known as known as life.
He gets along, he has his fronts for confidence and he has his insecurities as you would all call it, his "flaws"...
He "has", he "has". Like most of us he thinks he's a "individual". He's self absorbed, selfish, inconsiderate, with no comprehension of his being source energy and his place in the universe.
He'll live a "average", "happy" life but he won't even discover purity and feeling beyond feeling, thought beyond thought, because he's programmed where he's captured into a socially constructed net. Like most fish he feeds the fishers.
(There is something else out there).
He can be what do you call it a "jerk", "rude", "hurtful". Are these the right words, does this mean something to you?
Words, thoughts, intelligence, all these words are human and are very tamed when it comes to understanding things above "us", "we","they" "them". "I", "he" "she" "it".
Most of us are only aware of one existence. Most of us are only aware of 3 dimensions. Most of us have pride/ ego, all these wonderful things "that we all have" and we are all written the same and we learn that we are all the same simply because we perceive ourselves in the "same".
Well, as source energy we are all part of something greater, rearranged, can not be created nor destroyed. We are all the flow, waves, energy of the cosmos. We are rearranged as the world around us is rearranged, we are all part of the same energy source.
You'll talk to most people and give a point of view into something, insert your information, intellectual curiosity and automatically in their minds it's rearranged as a statement, as a argument. Fight, argue, dominance, ego, sexuality!
How often can you stream your consciousness, your true conscious into a conversation and have some one open mindfully accept your point of view or assert their own without being needy, insecure, argumentative?
No one really understands wholeness, understands how we are all connected, circulating energy. We each have a life force but you can't deny that ALL of us aren't connected to one person or another in our lives.
And do you comprehend how your thoughts and feelings truly affect that person? Do you understand the power of imagery, the power of emotion, of actions? Does anyone?
Most people blindly go through a money driven world, where there's an angle to make money, some one makes money off them. With their emotions/ their subconscious, brain power, insecurities.
The entire world is naive and juvenile.
No, humanity is "a pile of shit".
It's easier for me to turn to the dark side. Though I should be saying i love all of you.
I never really got on with my brother (older than me by a little under 3 years) when we were growing up together but after he moved out and I shortly after got a place of my own our relationship became more like friends and we grew closer as a result. We've also since lived together for a couple of spells (the last spell was for about 3 years) but that didn't change our relationship to what it used to be liked when we lived in the same place. I guess you do learn to appreciate those closest to you as you get older and I'm certainly glad that is the case for us.
I should mention that my sister is two years younger than me. I'll be turning 23 in November and she'll turn 21 exactly two weeks later. And it's not just me that she's alienating herself from, it's the whole family. What's really annoying is that I can't get her to spend any time with me, but if she happens to be home, she gets upset when I leave her to go to my bedroom. Today, she was upset that I left to take a shower instead of watching The Proposal with her. But if I should suggest she watch Zombieland with me, she's out the door to her boyfriend's before I can finish the sentence. And what makes it really frustrating is that we do have a lot of the same interests and tastes in movies and stuff.

I occasionally have a similar relationship with my brother (who is two years younger). Anything I like is automatically classified as stupid, regardless of how great it is. For instance, he refuses to play Tales of Monkey Island, because I like it, even though he loved Curse and Escape. It's frustrating, though I suppose that since I've always done everything first just because I'm older, he feels that he needs to only do things that I haven't done to be his own person, not just a copy of me. So, in a skewed way, it sort of makes sense.

I'm younger then my brother, but it's usually vice versa here. For instance, I go in the pool all the time, yet he never does because he "doesn't want to". Right..
The "whatever's on your mind thread"? I better stay away.
My imagination and thoughts consist of nothing but random words, stories that make no sense, and rants about small trivial things that most people wouldnt even bother talking about.

Nihongo, which is written with 3 kanji (ni, hon, go). Go is the kanji for language, Nihon means Japan ("sun book", as far as I can tell).
I've always written the "masu/mass" endings as part of the verbs, incidentally. So, wakarimasu. I tend to write "wakarimass" because that's how I pronounce it, but I guess the right way to romanize it is wakarimasu.
Of course there isn't a "right" way to split words since Japanese doesn't have space between the kana or kanji.
Also, I'm terrible in Japanese. I don't want it to sound like I'm a super specialist. I love the language, the structure, the way it works, etc, but vocabulary-wise I don't know many words at all so I'm not very likely to be able to withhold a day-to-day conversation.
Oooh! I love Japanese. I can't speak very much and I can only read the kata kana no, tsu, su, wa, ro, and to but someday I really want to learn more. Then, maybe I can talk to my second cousin's family and my mom's friends.
In case you're wondering, it's Mona from the WarioWare series. The only thing that's even remotely "productive" is the running sprites I finally made for her:
It may seem a bit lacking in animation / look jerky, seem a bit weird, but I wanted to give Mona her distinct run from one of the WarioWare endings, and animate it in the same style as the WarioWare series, just like how Wario's moves in Super Smash Bros. Brawl were a bit jerky.
avi, I had never thought about it before, but yeah. Sun book. Of course, I only know this for it's Chinese name. (tze ben) Ive been saying it since i was a kid, but I never really thought about what words put it together.
In other words, the chinese word for america (mei guo) literallly translate into beautiful country. That said, mei is just phonetically chosen.
Guess who just learned that there is no Go/Ga in hiragana (why would something called Hiragana not have Ga?) Or at least that is what my reference (which is a 2 dollar iPhone app) claims.
Well Japanese word for America is (wait for it) America, Just pronounced differently

So American is Americajin
Amerikajin would be the person, yes. Nihonjin for a Japanese person. Furansujin for a French person, Kanadajin for a Canadian. And so on.
"go" and "ga" are just "ko" and "ka" with an added symbol.
Syllables beginning with the voiced consonants g, z, d and b are spelled with kana from the k, s, t and h columns, respectively, and the voicing mark, dakuten. Syllables beginning with p are spelled with kana from the h column and the half-voicing mark, handakuten.
The dakuten is like a slented " and the handakuten looks similar to °
I feel a need for a sort of "Learning can be FUN!" graphic on these occasions. Because I, for some nerdy reason, found learning that little detail extremely entertaining. I might just be tired
I've learned that while it's possible to create a thread that cannot be derailed, it's impossible to create a thread that cannot be trolled. Relatedly, I've learned that it's possible for trolling to remain on topic.

YEAH!!!! BABY!!!!
I think you're right. I think I could use some venting.
This is pretty awesome.

Norway is awesome!
I once threw a snowball into Norway.

(but Unfortunatly I can't spell much, so I have no clue what I got there and have no clue how to spell out I can only speak a little)
I tried to google translate that and it said it can't translate Quechua. Strange, looks like Japanese to me.
Nihongo is the word for the language. Google Translate only recognizes it if I put it in a form of Kana
My imagination and thoughts consist of nothing but random words, stories that make no sense, and rants about small trivial things that most people wouldnt even bother talking about.
Wait, Nihogo, or Nihongo(as you spelled it in your original post)?
This thread is for everybody.

Then you'd get ni ho n go ga wa ka ri ma su. In kana, of course. Why, do you want me to link you to the kanji or something?
All I was trying to say is that I understand Japanese
Worst part is, I'm not even doing anything productive, all I do is create costumes for the Mona sprite I've created.
