@Guardian Angel Haruki

Lol XD pretty much

[21308]

So hey, I kind of got a job or whatever. Shouldn't effect my ability to post (especially at this pace) but I thought I'd share the news. I wonder if this thing will be able to last for a whole year?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@21308 CONGRATULATIONS! XD *fires a confetti cannon into the air*

[Loony]

@21308 Congratz Spinna! Hope it goes well and isn't too stressful.

[21308]

@Guardian Angel Haruki WOO! *catches confetti on tongue*

@Loony Thanks Loonster, it shouldn't be too bad. It's at a local fast food place, and the manager promised me they'd work with me so I could keep attending school with the intention of getting an actual job at some point, but this is suitable for now. What's nice is that it's only a 5 minute drive from my house, I've never worked at some place this close before and it should be much better than my last job which took me at least an hour to get to.

[Loony]

@21308 That's good to hear. Sounds like the manager is sorta nice, so that's great. ' v '

[21308]

@Loony Yeah, they seemed pretty easygoing. It was a very different experience from what I had applying for jobs in high school.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Okay everyone, I am off work and have a few days off. I am going to try my best to get a post up T.T

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I believe in you Akaya!

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Thanks Loon ^_^

[21308]

I'm bored. Hey Loon how accurate is this?

[Loony]

@21308 Pffft, sounds more like an Arabic stereotype than a Kurdish one ("They always sound so angry!" kind of thing), but I can get how people would have that impression if they met Kurdish parents, lmao. Sometimes when I'm speaking Kurdish in public people ask what language it is and they usually say something like 'Ah I thought it was Arabic at first but it sounds much more softer so I didn't think it was' after they ask 'What's Kurdish?". :P

That being said, I'm talking on a western perspective when I say 'outsiders', not a middle eastern one.

[Loony]

@21308 Now THIS...This is accurate.

[21308]

@Loony Lol I guess that makes sense since the channel was called Arabic vines. I never really got the 'Middle Eastern languages sound angry' thing, I always thought Arabic and Kurdish (which let's be honest I probably couldn't really tell apart) kind of resembled Spanish or even French in a way, if that makes sense. Like, they remind of of the more musical languages where all the words seem to flow together perfectly. It probably doesn't hurt that Arabic seems to have a lot of "la" sounds in it.

And... is dressing up like a monk a Kurdish thing?

[Loony]

@21308 As someone who speaks French, I'm going to say I completely disagree and think they sound very different. Both very nice, but different. ^ ^" I do find Persian sound more musical, not so sure about Arabic but I really don't think it's all 'Ugly sounds and angry voices! :(' as everyone seems to put it, sounds much nicer than English if you ask me. Kurdish is very nice too but not as nice as Persian, and Turkish is nice too. Because yes, just because their government treats us like shit doesn't mean I have to do the same and trash their language when it is quite nice. Because they aren't all terrible even though some Kurds act like it. Though Erdogan can go fuck himself though for all I care. Fuck that guy.

Dressing like a monk? LMAO, my friend, those are traditional Kurdish clothes for men. My baba haji wears them all the time, and most of the older men in my family do. I always wanted to wear them but then I'd have some explaining to do as LGBT+ folk aren't taken very well. The Persians have very similar clothing.

[21308]

@Loony I never even knew Persian was a language. And yeah I guess Arabic and French really don't sound anything alike, I just sort of meant that they don't have as many stops as English or German, for instance. At least I think they don't? I don't know though, I'm a dumb American who never got to learn anything other than English. I tried to sign up for Spanish class in High School but my math teacher said I was too dumb.

Lol I never knew that either, when I saw the guy in that video the first thing I though of was Leo Tolstoy in his monk clothes:

Hider

Hey, if you really want to dress that way maybe you could get away with it by telling your family you want to go to some kind of costume party dressed up as Tolstoy!

[Loony]

@21308 Well, Persian is a language, and yeah, I kinda get that.

Pfffft, I don't think they look that alike but whatever you say. And they don't like me dressing up as a dude even for Halloween or Theatre, but it doesn't stop me. But costume party? Man, I don't go to parties ever. XD

[Loony]

...Sure are a lot of people on all of a sudden. XD

[21308]

@Loony I think they all saw that we were doing something and got excited. Probably disappointed them XD

Lol Yeah I get that I was just kidding. I don't go to parties either buy I don't even think costume parties are really a thing except during Halloween.

[Loony]

@21308 Now I feel bad...DX

I wouldn't know because the last time I went to a party was like...Grade 3? And the only time really?
