Post by: Lucs on April 02, 2008, 05:03:39 PM
What do you all do in life ? What's your job ? What are you studying? What are your hobbies ? etc...

I'm wondering what X-Freaks do in their life when they're not on this forum :D

Mass media studies to be a journalist. Nothing tabloidish, thank you very much. 8)

I'm on my final year of high school now. After I graduate, I'll try to get to Tartu Uni into International Relations. But if I decide to go to the Paris live, I'll have to pick the second-best uni after Tartu, as they have entrance exams on 4th July (I'd pick the lives over the uni anyday :D ) :P

And hobbies... I sing in a choir and two vocal bands; I'm an internet addict; I love talking with my friends from all over the world, discussing big and deep stuff, also just chitchatting; I love arguing with teachers at school (usually in a friendly way only, tho I guess it has to stop when I enter uni :P ) over interesting topics (politics, history, social stuff etc); I love reading but I'm too lazy to find any time for it usually (tho I still read more than most of ppl my age), mostly I read fantasy ('The Wheel of Time' books by R. Jordan, 'The Black Magician' series by T. Canavan, 'Eragon' by C. Paolini etc) sci-fi ('The Foundation' series by I. Asimov, 'Return from the Stars' by Stanisław Lem etc) but also other good books ('1984' by G. Orwell, 'The Old Man and the Sea' by E. Hemingway, 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J. D. Salinger etc)...

I guess that's about it...

Hey, I enjoy eating too! Then there is a perfect swedish word we should learn all you people that come from other countries (at least you that enjoy eating)! Has anybody heard of the word "fika"? :D

What I do more is what I wrote in the beginnig of the language thread. I study languages at the second year of the swedish gymnasium (my 11th year of school). At the moment I study Spanish, Latin and Russian (except for Swedish and English, and a lot of other non-language subjects).

And in my free time I eat. And hang out with my friends. And eat.

REALLY, noone else has a word such as fika. I LOVE FIKA. VI FÅR TA EN FIKA NÅN GÅNG OK? :D
Title: What do you do ? (Job, studying, hobbies etc...)
Post by: madrigal on April 03, 2008, 07:05:39 PM
haha but fika is far more useful than skinka? :D though what funny noise in skinka are you talking about? :D

Fika nån gång, helt klart!

For everybody that hasn't heart about fika! Fika is a very useful word that often translates into coffee or kawa or кофе or something like that, but the word fika covers it in a far better way :D Fika is when you get together for a cup of coffee AND (this is important) somekind of sweet bread, like pastry, cookies or buns or just regular sandwiches. You don't have to drink coffee, it can be tea or soft drinks or you don't even have to drink anything. It's really a hard word to explain! But it's so useful! :D

Maybe simplified, fika is what you do in a café?

Sorry if it's too much offtopic :P

I was in sweden for a week and loved the language so much that i went to a... uh you call it Folkuniversitetet or so in swedish XD

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VÄRMLAND XD close to karlstad ^^ i wuved it


yeah... it is easy for germans to learn swedish, because the languages are so closely related ^^ but german's grammar is much much much much harder

swedish has a nice and easy grammar ^^; but i guess it's much easier for swedes to learn german than for anyone else (apart from the dutch XD)

But, hey, no problem, I'm used to grammar (I study russian and latin!) so that I don't mind :D

I live and work in Tokyo.  I work for an interpreting school and for a major travel company in their technical college (I guess that's the best way to put it).  I have lived in Japan for over 8 years and have decided to stay for quite a while!

When X Japan reunited in 2008 there was quite a bit of news about them on the TV in the mornings.  Also, Junichi Koizumi (ex-PM) really likes them so I became curious.  The very little bit they played on the TV captured my interest.  The rest is history...

I'm a good deal older than most of you and so my study days are way over.  However, I have a Masters in Education plus an assortment of other qualifications.

I work a lot so I don't have a lot of time to pursue my hobbies.  However, when I do, I enjoy studying Japanese, hiking, writing the occasional haiku (in English), travelling, hula dance and I have a lifelong passion for helping animals.  I have always been involved in animal welfare and currently support a fantastic animal refuge here.  Next month I will return home (Melbourne, Australia) to once again attend the opening of the annual barbaric duck shooting season.  I belong to a group called the Coalition Against Duck Shooting and we go out and help injured wildlife and try to do all we can to stop the shooting.  I haven't been out on the wetlands the whole time I've been in Japan so it'll be quite an experience.

One of my other passions is doing X-Japan stuff like going to hide's hometown and wandering around (I actually lived there for 5 months before I even knew about X Japan....I now see it with different eyes), visiting hide's grave, wandering around where he used to live in Tokyo, going to the LEMONed shop and going to Honganji Temple where they held his funeral.  As much as I love hide I don't listen to so much of his solo stuff as I do X-Japan.  And, as for X-Japan, it's their ballads I really love.  By the way, today I came across a shop selling indies music (2nd hand).  Lots of cool hide stuff everywhere.

So, there is one mighty long post.  Please understand, I have nobody to talk to X Japan about so I can't help myself!

I am also a little obsessed with all new stuff that appears on the different theories of the universe. I think I have read all the books that appeared the last 30 years in Belgium of the universe.

Idem with research of quantumphysics.

Idem with all the stuff that appeared on living with gorilla's, chimps, bonobo's and so on.

I wished I had a brain like Stephen Hawking!!!
