Hi Everybody
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:27 AM »
Well, I've just relised that I've been a member of this forum for about a month now, and I haven't even bothered to introduce myself.  I know, I know how rude of me?

Well, better late than never!

Hi, I'm DarkGuyver and I'm an alcoholic.... HAHAHA just kidding.  I thought I would add a little humour to my introduction.

DarkGuyver, as some of you will probably relise from my screen name, I am a fan of the Guyver anime/manga francise. 

I found this forum, while searching for more Tess Gerritsen (yes, I watch Rizzoli & Isles) eBooks for my Sony PRS-350 eReader, which I got a couple of months ago.  But found a surprisingly large amount of books for my eReader, which I am honestly thankfull for.

Besides reading, I like watchin action, sci-fi, thriller movies and TV shows.  I'm a martial artist, I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, and I currently study Lin Kuei martial arts (a Chinese martial art, which is the ancester of Japanese Ninjitsu).  I'm a videogamer, I'm a fan of Street Fighter, Bayonetta, God Of War, Soul Calibur, House Of The Dead, and the Need For Speed games (in particular the Underground series, and Most Wanted).

I'm very knowledgable about computers so if you have any questions about computers or computer related problems post a topic and I will see what I can do for ya.  I'm also a technology nut, so any related technology discuss are game.

I hope to meet some new friends here and share some of my collection of eBooks which may be of interest to others.

HII Fera!  :)

Nice to meet you here!

My favorite writers of historical romance are Judith McNaught (Westmoreland Series)  and Lisa Kleypas (The Hathaways and Wallflowers series) :) well, I am new at this genre so as far they are the best :) maybe I'll discover others later. :)

You like them too? and which is yours?

Hi Nino!  :)
pleasure to meet you too^^

Oh My.. really.. if I'm not mistaken, I LOVE the 'first book' of Westmoreland series!
A Kingdom of Dream, right? It's so lovely  :P
I truly-really love it! it's on my favorite shelf.
I didn't read Lisa Keyplas's books yet. But it's already in my-to-read-list.
By the way, if you like historical romance with time travel stuffs, you can try 'Waterfall' by Lisa T. Bergren.
or 'Timeless'..
I also recommend you Julie Garwood's books  :laugh:

Yes, languages are easy for me fortunately! you see I am a translator :) my native language is Georgian (Georgia is a small county in Caucasus) it is one of the oldest language in the world :) and has it unique alphabet, in my introduction I wrote greeting in Georgian :) too. Russian was the second language in my country because we are neighbors and not the best ones :))) but still know the languages! English was my major language at University and as second I chose Dutch. Later I started learning Spanish as my third language when doing master in Brussels. That is the sort story of my languages! oh, and Now I am thinking to learn Persian,  >:D of course if I find time!

 
 :-* :-* :-*
Amazing!!!  :o
It must have felt so..well.. to understand so many different languages..
I don't know, it's like one of my biggest dreams x)
I'm still learning English and Japanese.. (sometimes I try to speak in Spain, Tagalog, and Korean by singing)
with that I think I have learned at least how to pronounce some words pretty well ^^
hey, maybe you can try Indonesian language too :P hihi.

Wow... this thread have been hijacked and rehijacked....  :D

Kidding aside. Hi to NinoVan!  :You_Rock_Emoticon:

Read you are a multilingual. That's amazing. I also have a friend who speaks Russian, Japanese, Italian, English and Filipino (our native language). I don't get how you people do that. Maybe you have this so large BRAIN CAPACITY that can accommodate all those words from different sets of languages, am i right? is that the magic there?  :D

I tried before to learn Japanese but I'd stop during my last year in college. Change of priorities was the reason... got so busy then.

Well, can you share your tips on learning languages? My friend told me before to take classes but ATM, i just cant push that in my schedule right now... been working & traveling alot.

I hope you enjoy your time here.  ;)

Some members had hijacked the thread. I noticed you've been gone for some time. why so?

I've read the synopsis!! but still haven't read it, the one that I tried to read lately is Pandora Hearts..
don't worry, it's on my-read-list xDD
and as for Dengeki Daisy, I've read it for 1-2 chapters but then I was not sure to continue it :(
just like Kimi no Todoke. Have you ever heard about it?

Wow! I read Pandora hearts too. I like the mangaka's style. Light lines, love the intensity and hue of the drawings.
ALICE is so cool! And OZ is just so adorable  :kiss:

Yes, I -Nino-She   speak Dutch! and don't say that you speak dutch too!   :D


P.S. Nino is a  woman name in old Sumer language and in Georgian it is very popular name for a woman and never for a man! though in Italy it is considered as a man's name! :)

Hi!  so you're a girl. I should have known. Well, I am, too, confused about your name. because our culture uses Nino for a boy/man's name. We tend to refer/used names ending in "o" for males and the names ending in "a" for girls. Its great to learn something new from a different country.

delft? never been there. For a real nice city if you ever go to the netherlands you could go to Deventer.

It has a lot of history and the people there are real friendly

Amsterdam is a city you have to know a bit to appriciate it.

sorry darkguyver for hijacking your post :o ^-^

I can't follow this thread anymore. hahaha. First, I hijacked this thread (oh, so this is my first time in doing it) when we (and hudasee) talks about anime. Now, Darkguyver stirs it back and last time I checked they were talking about Mythologies. But now, I don't know about it. :D I'm being lazy once again by not back-reading the replies. :3
