Doesn't mean squat when every language is derived from Latin and every word has its own meanings in another language. |

Only Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian and possibly a few others I'm forgetting derive fully from Latin. : P English is about half French (thus Latin) derived and half Germanic.
Latin, like most European languages, derives from Proto Indo-European which dates back to the earliest writings to come from the near East. Most African and Asian languages are actually thousands of years removed from anything Indo-European. Japanese is about as close to Latin as it is to Finnish, and much closer say to some Native American language.

I didn't go for the Latin form. |

The only Japanese I know comes from exposure to animé and Japanese games, and the only Latin I know is what I can reverse engineer from French. |

I'm rolling the last Player Phase for my CYOA right now...
All I can do is laugh at how bad the bandits performed this round.

Still, although post-amnesia Elspeth tries to be a positively sweet person, she will have to grapple with her former self... |

I do? How so?
I'm not the best person on earth, not the most social, emotional, and what everyone is looking for in a young man. I'm just going with the flow of lfe. Completely serious.

Let me just say this.
Just because your different from what is considered the norm doesn't mean anything. Personally, I am extremely sensitive, I am pretty shy in social settings, I am a passive person who actually tries to avoid conflict. If you feel awkward as somebody your age imagine being in your late 20's? Then again can anyone really define normal b/c what may be normal to one person may be weird for someone else. I remember when I first joined I was nervous as hell. Heck when I started a cyoa I was extremely scared b/c I was scared of it not being noticed or that it would just get buried. ( I really sure there weren't a lot of people who thought about doing a FE and Mario crossover). Also I am somebody who goes with the flow who tries not to take things serouisly but sometimes I can't help it. Then again for me its the little things that matters that why I am always so grateful for any support no matter how small it is.
Sorry about the long rant its just when I hear people say I am not the best or I am not the normal whatever it hits home with me.

Whoah there wrestler, I'm not putting myself down. I have some pretty good confidence my friend. I'll say this though, I usually don't care what people say. People are as fickle as the wind. In a fee ways I can deconstruct everything humans call a society by pointing out the holes in them.
I'm not here for that though. That's not my goal. My goal is to be a conquer of all things.
So I will say this, I don't really pay attention to people's comments. They used to bother me, but not anymore. No one is living my life, I'm in the driver seat here. If they have complaints, they can go do whatever trashy stuff they love to do. Cause you ain't stopping me!
This wasn't directed at you by the way, so don't take it as such.
On topic, me too. I can post again with Rasche...
