shadowkat1. I really need to stop strolling the internet (ie. social media) whenever I get antsy or bored. I find weird stuff.
Boyfriend decides to learn girlfriend's native language, and after two months tells her that her pronouciation and grasp on it is rusty, and she needs to relearn it, she doesn't know what to do because he refuses to let it go.
This was posted on reddit, and tweeted by Courtney Milan, a romance novelist (and former attorney, current social media activist. (Social Media Activist are people who fight for social justice solely on social media. And possibly in their romance novels...)
Apparently the language is JAPANESE. And he's learning it through an app, and has decided that native speakers are wrong. (LMAO! The berk. Wait is berk a word or am I channeling Joss Whedon again? This is what happens when you watch a tv show one too many times, the slang becomes embedded in your personal lexicon.)
Reddit and Milan's reader's advice? Run don't walk away from the idiot.
LOL! I shouldn't find this funny but I do. And I thought I was romantically challenged.
2. And continuing on this theme of absurdity -- the Kensignton FB page had someone post -- "Are there any younger people (say 8-13 yrs old) in this group? After all that millennial talk from this past weekend, I was thinking it would be cool to organize a meet up, perhaps an evening out for drinks, so we can meet each other and build a sense of community, that exists offline lol." This is above a picture of two young children, one (a young girl) guzzling a bottle of gin and the other (a young boy) smoking.
I found it funny -- because it is absurd.
3. What did your parents almost name you? (Found on Twitter)
