Cos you're a girl, innit? ;)

We'll have you speaking like a Chav in no time :mrgreen:

Seriously, when I read things like I've posted below, seeing non-native English writers do their best on here is like reading William Shakespeare...
INNIT:

Derives from the Chav/Townie/Pikey sub-culture, but falsely over-labelled on the British Asian Communities. Innit is a shortened version of is it not, in context, it would be "is it not?" which we can see is a question due to the required question mark and change in the pitch of the voice to indicate a question is being asked. Chavs, however, due to their lack of education (zero GCSEs) and ignorance towards learning English at school because "i already speaks it, innit", tend to, more often than not, use the term innit when a statement has been used, rather than a question.
Linguists and scientists have studied chav language and have determined the following:
1) they have tried to invent their own language
2) this is because they do no understand standard English
3) they use their "pikey-speak" to communicate with other like chavs
4) they speak in a pattern:
5) (noun), (obscene word), (verb), (subject), (innit)!
6) the pattern of speech repeats itself
7) the order may be altered according to IQ of the chav
:lol:

Hehe, yes I am. When I was 10 I wanted my (new) bedroom to have pink walls. When I was 11, I wanted black walls.. xD I am not that in to pink as clothing anymore, but it's a nice color though :D

Ahwwww, what a nice welcome. Thank you all, I think you are nice people here.

Got the Book today. Yeah! It's the german Version and titled "So finster die Nacht". I found this translation is a kind of strange, because it has nothing in common to the english/swedish title and also a complete different meaning. Anyway, translations always sucks.

I will start reading by late evening today. Already prepared a couple of candle lights, hot chocolate and a warm coat. I'm going to celebrate it a little - Oh wait, what's that? I'm acting like a teenager again. :oops:

Regarding LMI, i choose NOT to see it (yet). I fear I could ruin my current mode (which i love) with LTROI. I want to read the Book first and get close to the Story as the Writer had it in Mind. Get is as pure as i can get it, if you will. Since my imaginations started going crazy very early in this story, this will be a hard task for me, maybe. :lol:

Oh dear, definitively YES, I fell in love with her almost instantly. How can one not?

Already checked it out. It's really magnific and eyeopening. Great work.

Thank you Harls. Expression of feelings/emotions in a foreign language can be problematic. I has the ability to go perfectly wrong.
Harls wrote: Looking forward to reading your contributions in the future
Currently I'm somewhat busy on working out my impressions of my "first contact" with such a strong movie and sorting the emotions that blow up in my face, that i fear i can't write any more than sloppy sentimentality, right now. But I try my best at the moment to be objective. :)

Hehe, "invite Jay" :lol: Btw: Choosing my screen name is somewhat related to this "non-verbal communication" thing between (Human)beeings, that i had in mind after watching the movie and while signing up here. Just if someone is interested in.

I am a teenager, and I don't light up candles..XD; Nah, I think I might do it one day thought. It was a good Idea. When I fist sat down with that book it was summer, super warm. And I sat outside with a glass of coca cola beside me. And started to read, that was very nice too :D

No one has to see LMI, and you don't realy need it.. But it is nice to see a nothher twist on the story. Even with bad CGI and a houge twist on the gender part of the vampire. oh well...-_- The books still kicks LMI asses, so have fun :D or,, get a scare.. or whetever you'l feel while reading the book.. It's a handfull of emotions XD

Hehe, I'm just an old guy, tries to get back his "the good old days" I think. :lol: Lighting up candles, when it's dark, cold and wintery outside (as is is here at the moment) sure enough helps me to get my imaginations running.

Yeah, I'm sure.
