  1. I just learned something interesting.

    You know how different "words" have different meanings in Chinese depending upon the tone?

    Well, it turns out lots of Chinese are writing entire text messages in numbers because the strings of number "words" have whole different meanings with their different tones.

    So, here is a "txt message" from me to you:

    8807701314520

    This can (allegedly) be literally translated as "Hug hug you, kiss kiss you, whole life, whole life, I love you."

    Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww!! Romance and a communication & culture "lesson," all in one! Damn, I'm good!! ;-)

    Some of these translations are a bit (*cough*) strange, but it IS Google Translate, after all.

  4. Oh my God you commented!!

    After months and months of lurking and me attempting time after time to draw you out to comment with inside jokes and passive remarks, all it took was a simple post of "testing testing" well then...
