Tashi delek everyone! (That’s ‘hello’ in Tibetan.) I can speak bits of Tibetan, Indian, and a ‘candy-bag assortment’ of other languages. I mostly just know the hellos. But I mean hey – that’s important! If you’re going to some foreign country for the first time and if kidnappers come and get you and hold you hostage you’ll at least know the hello for the country’s language and who shouldn’t be polite to foreign kidnappers? J At least, that’s the logic I see in it.
Below is the ‘Reply to Comments’ post everyone’s been waiting for! Keep ‘em coming!
I dance, too! I do Hula and Tahitian! It’s fun.

Over this summer, when my family and I took a trip to Hawaii, I took a hula lesson. (Notice the ‘A’) Never got much experience beyond that. But I always thought Tahitian looked fun – lots of hip-shaking, which I think is probably one of the aspects of dance I’m better at. I just love the way Shakira dances – her song “Hips Don’t Lie” is #2 on my mp3 playlist. And that’s saying something, because I don’t listen to my mp3 that much anymore.
You see, usually when I want to listen to music, it’s for dancing. And since I don’t have a lot of dance songs on my mp3, I mostly just listen to Music Choice or my Yahoo Playlist now. But dancing aside, I’ve been listening to this one song, “Near to You” by A Fine Frenzy, over the weekend. It’s not a song one can really dance to, but I love the melody. I even printed out the lyrics to the song so I could sing it to the music. Granted, the actual artist of the song sounds about 10 million times better than I do, but I like singing songs anyway.
Now how did I get from dancing to singing?
Good luck with The New Yorker!For your website, maybe you could list tips on writing? But just start small, and you can always add more content. If I think of more, I’ll be sure to tell you!My website: http://www.inkdreamer.com

Thanks – I’ll need it! I’m seriously thinking about your suggestion, but then I also think I might want people to have some time to read my work – hence, if they think I’m a good writer, they might think I have good writing tips. So you’re right – right now I’m just ‘starting small’ and brainstorming some ideas for the website. I might add content later on, but I want to start nice and simple.
To Clem: I sent you an e-mail. ;)
And now to everyone: As for the progress on my website, shhh... it’s a secret, but it’s coming along! You guys will just have to wait and see.
Hey Pema, Can’t wait to see your site! ;]
And That’s really cool that you could speak a little bit of each different language even if its just “Hello”, lol. :) I myself, know a few too, I think its unique.
P.S. I didn’t find the time to comment last time, so I made sure i did this time because I know you Just LOVE to read them! ;D

I can say Mount Everest in Nepalese: Chomolongma. You say it “Chummuh-LUNG-muh.” Say it out loud, it’s REALLY fun.
