Greetings! I am Burning Silver, call me Silver if you like, and this is my primary page; open to all. (Obviosly) I welcome anyone and everyone to trounce upon my things, all I ask is that you don't wear cleats when you do so-they tend to hurt. I hope you don't mind my insane instability and impulsive randomness; if you do, I'd advise you find somewhere else to spend your time. On the other hand, if you find that you are some-what entertained by my peculiar jesting then I hope you enjoy your stay.

Than-x for stopping by:
~Silver

Family :3

Here's a small lesson on the family and immediate members. (I will elaborate on this at another time :3)

• father: otoosan (oh-toh*long o*-sah-n) = someone else’s father
  chichi (chee-chee) = 'my' father (only used when speaking of your own)

• mother: okaasan (oh-kah*long a*-sah-n) = someone else’s mother
  haha (hah-hah) = 'my' mother (once again-only used for one's own parent

• grandfather: ojiisan (oh-jee*long e*-sah-n) ; also a term for elderly men-not necessarily an 'actual grandpa' (sort of like the English term 'gramps', just not considered rude)
• grandmother: obaasan (oh-bah*long a*-sah-n) ; also can be term for elderly women- just like ojiisan
• older brother: oniisan (oh-nee*long e*-sah-n) = someone else’s big brother
  ani (ah-nee) = ‘my’ older brother

• older sister: oneesan (oh-neh*long eh*-sah-n) = someone else’s older sister
  ane (ah-neh) = ‘my’ older sister

• younger brother: otootosan (oh-toh*long o*-toh-sah-n) = someone else’s younger brother*
• younger sister: imootosan (ee-moh*long o*-toh-sah-n) = someone else’s younger sister*

*When speaking of your own younger siblings, remove the ‘san’ on the end. This is a title of respect and it is considered wrong, rude, and conceited to place honor on your own family.

This was a brief lesson on family titles. Thanks for joing me today, I hope you find this helpful. As always, if you have any questions, just pm me or comment them in!! :3

Snuggly Sweaters and Abused Fingers... and carrots... >:3

*deep sigh* I just finnished a super long post for my world ~Nihongo In a Page~. It doesn't look so long after posting it of course; but a lot of work went into it..well, as much as my sweater-warmed, exhausted brain will allow!! I was doing bunches of 'double checking' to try and make things as easy, understandable, and accurate as possible. :3
If anyone is interested in learning to speak a little japanese you can check it out. Or if you just want to know how to say something specific in japanese you can just ask. (pm me or comment if you'd like) Such as your name, or if you'd like a translation of some word you may have found in a manga or anime (I get those a lot :3). An english-japanese dictionary would work for some stuff: but the definitions often given in those things aren't.. well, 'how it's spoken'. There's many words that have 'dictionary' form and various 'speach' forms.. >:| (it's rather fusterating actually...) *laughs* None the less: the offer's there, if anyone would like!! :D

What's everyone got planned for this upcoming weekend??

LOOK! A KITTEN!! :3
