011: Hvor længe vil du ydgyme dig?

First off, Ubuntu and me are not friends. I don't get along well with it, and though I don't really try - I don't feel as it's a great OS for myself. I'm slightly confused, wondering why it doesn't burn CDs on my Portable CD Drive (there IS a reason why I got that) and why DVD's never really play.
I want to be able to edit the songs within the songs, not going into a media player such as Rhythmbox or Banshee. >>;

Anyway.

Life's been everywhere since I last edited. I'll give you the basic details (if anyone still reads.)

Trip to Williams Lake, BC.
That was quite the slightly pointless trip, as I started out being with the family 24/7, then I kinda just drifted. I was seeing more of my friends than the people that I was raised with - that I really do feel ashamed of, and I'm constantly saying "I miss the sheep!" or "I miss you, mum." Although, I never do any effort to contribute towards that. :(

Been working, etc.

Trip to Barrie, ON.
I'm not getting too much into this. Too much to say. xD James and Frank are an amazing couple and honestly, they have helped me out tremendously in the time that I've known them. :)
All in all, I was quite thrifty during the ratio of the trip, and the $6 haircut was the best I've ever had. On the other hand, I did my part to attempt to help out, and the strippers in Gimli were quite bad.

I'm not sure what I feel about Calgary now.

Work had a major turnover, and I'm mostly back to my old self. I have grown up for better or worse too, but something tells me that I should slap myself across the head for overworryness.. >>;

"I musn't run away" is my biggest influence in life, at the moment. I was asurred that everything in life was going extremely well, then BAM, a major bit of news comes from Dan's mouth.

I'm still not how to react, but hopefully I'll be calm this wednesday.

010: Taboo, maybe?

I'm not a linguist, but I had a slight idea that I gained from a girl's perspective from a facebook group, that I'm going to base off one language.

There's many different types of Inuktitut in northern Canada. Wouldn't it be easier instead of having many different dialects to grasp the language into a whole? Maybe do some studying between the people and incorporate the differences into each dialect, making it easier for others to learn and possible revive the language? Greenlandic has three different dialects (West, East and the Inuktun spoken by the þúle.)

Not combining every language into one, but I've experienced some confusion from moving from Australia to Canada with the English that both countries present, and am now finding it difficult to maintain a 'preferred' status quo in the language.

I know that each nation represents themselves via the language that they speak, but possibly combining the different dialects, have a base language for each nation to speak would probably be preferred wouldn't it?

One other idea is grabbing all the First Nations languages of Canada (and possibly the US) and upgrading their alphabets to use the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics with each language. This would mean possibly adding letters and deleting some for others, but it would be another basis for each of the languages.

The syllabics are found here:

(There are many more places out there, just have to find them. ^^;)

'Cause really. Who would want to read something like this?:



Opinions.
