I have found my new best friend. GIMP. And no, he did not feature in Pulp Fiction as 'the man in leather', he features in my university open access room computers. There is, in fact, a drawing program that is as good as PhotoShop installed in my open access room computers... And I'm learning this now?!?
*hates everybody, loves GIMP*

13:16:59 [Aradon Templar]: o.O Yossariana. iippo's definitely better, even though it has no real meaning whatsoever. It's kinda created it's own meaning for things that are iippo, which have no other words to describe them. It's like, "Describe iippo." "Erhm.... Well.... The best word to describe iippo is.... iippo. *nods* " :D

w00t w00t w00t!

Re-put here because it got lost in the mindless droning.
Found in the diary of [nokaredes], who actually stalks Exapno. O_o

Multi-national personnel at North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters near Paris found English to be an easy language ... until they tried to pronounce it. To help them discard an array of accents, the verses below were devised. After trying them, a Frenchman said he'd prefer six months at hard labor to reading six lines aloud.

    ENGLISH IS TOUGH STUFF
    ======================

    Dearest creature in creation,
    Study English pronunciation.
    I will teach you in my verse
    Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
    I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
    Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
    Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
    So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

    Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
    Dies and diet, lord and word,
    Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
    (Mind the latter, how it's written.)
    Now I surely will not plague you
    With such words as plaque and ague.
    But be careful how you speak:
    Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
    Cloven, oven, how and low,
    Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

    Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
    Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
    Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
    Exiles, similes, and reviles;
    Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
    Solar, mica, war and far;
    One, anemone, Balmoral,
    Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
    Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
    Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

    Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
    Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
    Blood and flood are not like food,
    Nor is mould like should and would.
    Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
    Toward, to forward, to reward.
    And your pronunciation's OK
    When you correctly say croquet,
    Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
    Friend and fiend, alive and live.

    Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
    And enamour rhyme with hammer.
    River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
    Doll and roll and some and home.
    Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
    Neither does devour with clangour.
    Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
    Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
    Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
    And then singer, ginger, linger,
    Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
    Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

    Query does not rhyme with very,
    Nor does fury sound like bury.
    Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
    Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
    Though the differences seem little,
    We say actual but victual.
    Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
    Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
    Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
    Dull, bull, and George ate late.
    Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
    Science, conscience, scientific.

    Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
    Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
    We say hallowed, but allowed,
    People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
    Mark the differences, moreover,
    Between mover, cover, clover;
    Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
    Chalice, but police and lice;
    Camel, constable, unstable,
    Principle, disciple, label.

    Petal, panel, and canal,
    Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
    Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
    Senator, spectator, mayor.
    Tour, but our and succour, four.
    Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
    Sea, idea, Korea, area,
    Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
    Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
    Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

    Compare alien with Italian,
    Dandelion and battalion.
    Sally with ally, yea, ye,
    Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
    Say aver, but ever, fever,
    Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
    Heron, granary, canary.
    Crevice and device and aerie.

    Face, but preface, not efface.
    Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
    Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
    Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
    Ear, but earn and wear and tear
    Do not rhyme with here but ere.
    Seven is right, but so is even,
    Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
    Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
    Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

    Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
    Is a paling stout and spikey?
    Won't it make you lose your wits,
    Writing groats and saying grits?
    It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
    Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
    Islington and Isle of Wight,
    Housewife, verdict and indict.

    Finally, which rhymes with enough --
    Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
    Hiccough has the sound of cup.
    My advice is to give up!!!

Have you ever heard that little voice - yes, the very same one that is discussed in The Road to ElDorado ("When you look at Chel, what does that little voice say?" "Errr... MmmmRawrYum... *wiggle eyebrows*" "No! Wrong answer!") - you know, the little voice that gets to you when you have just slammed your body hand-first into the bathroom door because it looked like it was further away than it really was?
The voice that says: "iippo hun - get new glasses."

(for people like me only)
Well... I kind of serious. See, my fiancé said to me after I had done or said something amazing or humane or something (can't remember what it was): "Darling, life was created for people like you only." And it is the uberest compliment ever, so I want to keep it in my mood so I'll always be reminded of him.
It's not against anybody (in the sense that "life wasn't created for you!" Not at all) since I am like all people and all people are alike, more or less, so there's no reason for anyone to get offended. It's just there to remind me that someone loves me so much that he thinks that about me.

Also see allymoods to see the whole conspiracy of this all. ^_^ There my frind [ally] has taken this phrase into whole new levels.

No problem at all. To be honest, a lot of people ask about it. It sounds selfish I know, but it's just the wording. And that's how he expressed it (neither of us have English as the first language, but it's the only language we both understand well, so sometimes our phrases are really surreal... all words are correct, but somehow in the wrong order or other wise just crooked... XD)

And then!
16:16:38 [Aradon Templar]: I saw, tis where I got the link here :D *thinks that iippo is uber because of her all-loving type personality of human equality-type thing*

"Yeah. The bigger they are the harder they fall... But also the bigger they are the bigger feet they have, so even though wind has a lot of reach in me to make me topple over, I have enough feet to keep me upright in the worst of hurricanes. They're like roots and they reach me all the way down to the ground."

I thing I'm quite proud of of having written it. ^_^
