  1. I think it was a little bit of both. They were taught by their family and they wanted to belong to the other kids of their (religious) group, at least the majority of them.
  2. What made you think he isn't a jock? That he wore his sister's dress for a play?
  3. How I wish this were true. My nephew is fourteen. He made a short play for English class with two friends. He dressed as a girl. He borrowed a dress, his sister did the make-up. He wears his blond hair shoulder long btw. He was shocked at the reaction he got. The tamer were something like: Why do you dress like a girl? He: It's for a play. They: Oh okay, otherwise I had to hit you. He: Why? They: If you were gay I had to hit you easy as pie. He had many discussions with other students and teachers. The teachers were okay but the students not so much. He tried to explain the difference between attraction and how you behave. More often than he liked he got: Well if you act on it we'll beat the crap outta you.
  4. Aww he so cute, couldn't eat em. I'm with Samwise Gamgee: Po-tae-toes, boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Oh yes and fry em.
  5. Happy Birthday, Mann!
  6. Yeah me too, though there are ways... You can never say if the video works for other countries. Glad you loved the song.
  7. Sorry there is no translation for this, but it IS my song of the moment and to quote Zombie, 'The guy is cute'.

    Zugzwang

    Yes I know, but I still love to read your comments, greedy as I am. Thank you Jo Ann, without your nudge the whole 'Four Perspectives' might have stayed on my computer. *hug*
  9. This story is on my 'read it again list'. Nice review Jo Ann.
  10. It took us only ten years... so there is still hope.
  11. WHOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!
  12. Yeah, me too. Hope it will be better than what I look at at the moment. Even the referee is bad.
  13. Honestly? I can't really look. Brazil is so off I cringe every time they have the ball and every time they don't have it.
  14. Wrongly, yes. Like Ironically.
  15. Nope, chopped is zerkleinert, gehackt etc. If you want another word (I hate this almost as much as 'zerstückelt') it's 'dismembered'.
  16. One word I really hate is 'zerstückeln'. (cut into pieces) Ha, it's shorter in German! Anyway, a psychologist could probably tell me why I avoid this word at all cost. It's 'zerteilen', much better, 'zerlegen', 'zerkleinern' I know so many synonyms...
  17. I found him for Argentina. Still he is no Mats Hummels...or...
  18. I absolutely agree with 'liberal'. Mine is not a word but a phrase. Whatever 'does the trick'. Words, solutions, things, actions. Meh.

    The day we untangle all this I want a cherry pie to celebrate. And a strawberry cheese cake. We can make it! And I have some ideas whom to kill...as a matter of fact the list gets longer and longer.
  20. I almost fell asleep on the couch. 30 min more. Good thing I had my tablet to browse the internet for more eye candy.
  21. Argentina...Netherlands...Argentina...Netherlands...
  22. My personal version of writer's block is when my English is off. That happened with my last anthology story. Everything just sounded wrong, tenses were off too. I refuse to write a story in German when it's meant to be written in English eventually. It only gets worse when I do that. Thank God for my editors. They got me on the right track again.
  23. Words fail me. Not that I'm not happy but...WOW. Yay!
