[Member Spotlight] chikygrl13

There once was a woman named Chiky,
Whose ex-boyfriend was a real dicky,
So she got real picky,
Cuz most boys are icky,
But then she met ~Elan~ who made her knees shaky. :eek:


Yes, folks...in the hot seat today is MTaG's beloved archivist, Chikygrl13! :D

Tell us two truths and one lie--the other members will be asked to guess which is which.

http://www.mindtheagegap.com/forum/image.php?u=33&dateline=1171403241:

1) I am an acomplished violinist
2) I speak fluent German
3) I studied at a Rabinical school

I know #3 is definitely true. :p

Not sure about the other two...

I think #2 is a lie!
And: YOU HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD, Chiky!

I'm going to go with #2.....

I think I remember reading that Chiky plays the violin....

Wow, your an accomplished traveler too! Puts me to shame!:(
Your not a good liar, if you speak fluent German then why haven't you been to Germany? So I pick number 2 as the lie.:)

Nummer zwei ist falsch.

I'm goin' with #2 as well. I seem to remember #1 and #3 being mentioned at other times.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales

Whoa! Is that for real??? And how the hell do you pronounce it? LOL

"Archivists make it last longer..."

Heh, that's great!

I think #2 is the lie (same reason as golf4al).

P.S. I think you were adorable! :)

Whoa! Is that for real??? And how the hell do you pronounce it? LOL


It's really hard to pronounce!!! Most people call it Llanfair PG, and the town (of like 12 people) pride's itself on having the longest place name in the world!!!

It's Welsh, obviosuly and it means "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"

It's a nice little town on the island of Anglesey in Northern Wales!!

Cool. I looked it up after my last post. I imagine it's extremely hard to pronounce! Can you pronounce it?

So, other than Natchez :D, which town was your favorite?

honestly, I COULD pronounce it when I was there, but it's been a couple of years!!!

oh favorite towns...
Paris, absolutly Paris!!
and Dublin!!!
All of Ireland!!, especially Dublin and Tralee.

New York, of course! I lived there as a kid!
and Knoxville!

But then she met ~Elan~ who made her knees shaky. :eek:





yeah, we'll see about that!!
Haven't heard from him since Saturday...
:confused: :confused:

Don't be upset about it Chicky! This is not the end of the world. Put a smile on your face :) .

oh not upset! not at all!
just disappointed!
I've learned to deal with rejection.

Did I miss the answer to the truth and lie question?

Now as far as this guy....don't worry or panic because you haven't heard from him since Saturday. Men and women have different frames of reference when it comes to time. For us it drags when we want something to happen and for men it speeds up. In the male mind, a week is no amount of time at all.

Believe me. I've seen this happen over and over. I'll be stressing out over not hearing from someone and they don't have a clue that a bunch of time has passed by.

It's just one of those Mars/Venus differences. And speaking of Mars/Venus....Mars and Venus On A Date is a good book to read to see the differences between men and women in the dating stages. It was recommended to me by a good friend (and you know who you are.... :D) and when I read it, it did give me some perspective. It still didn't make it any easier but at least it was more understandable.



:love:

Sie sprechen nicht Deutsch, und ich auch nicht!! :D

Sie sprechen nicht Deutsch, und ich auch nicht!! :D
Wie wissen Sie das?

Ich liebe Deutsch. Es ist wundershcon lange.

Ich liebe Deutsch. Es ist wundershcon lange.


Ja!! stimme ich!! zu! Ich habe liebte immer die deutsche Sprache und die deutschen Leute!!

Ich liebe Deutsch. Es ist wundershcon lange.


Ich liebe auch Deutsch.

Is it a German forum now?:D :p :eek:
Looks like Chiky DOES speak fluent German and I was wrong! Tell us what's a lie, Chiky!!!

Bitten Sie hier nicht Deutsch sprachen. Ich möchte andere Leute Sie verstehen. :)

Ich mochte ein Doppelzimmer mit Dusche, bitte.

Wir mochten bitte bezhalen.

Wo sind die Leute?

And that is about as much as i can remember besides the greetings and the numbers of my two years of german in college. I am ashamed :o LOL

Of course, Ich komme aus Spanien und ich liebe MTaG :D

And Chiky that is a whole lot of places you have been to!

I also think you were a cute 5th grader :D

Ich mochte ein Doppelzimmer mit Dusche, bitte.

LOL...I also took two years of German in college and I don't remember much of it either. :)

Somebody teach me German. I want in on the Deutschebund.

I want to speak French....I could care less about German....

.I could care less about German....
I hope the man of your dreams isn't German. Heinz may as well throw the flowers and chocolate away.

Achtung!

(that's about all i know)

I hope the man of your dreams isn't German. Heinz may as well throw the flowers and chocolate away.

Oh crap! Actually, he is! I forgot all about that....but he's from Iowa so I think I'm safe. I don't think he speaks German either....lol! Oh and his name is Tom....not Heinz.....lol! :p

um...ja :o auf meine etui ich habe ein gummi :D ich mochte eine dose cola bitte :cool:

yup, my school german lessons sure were handy!

Chiky? I swear I thought you played the violin. *ponders*


Shan

Wow, alot of you speak some amount of German. I would like to learn Italion.

Chiky, you sure have traveled quite a bit. Must be quite an experience.

I would like to learn Italion.

Me too! I love Italian opera.

I also love German opera, hence the German lessons. ;)

When I made the original post I knew I spelt Italian wrong. I kept looking at it and drew a blank. It is a pet peeve of mine... ugh, I can't even blame lack of sleep.

Anyway, I also have a liking for Italian opera. I don't think I have ever heard German opera though.... hmmm.

Chiky? I swear I thought you played the violin. *ponders*


Shan


actually I play a variety of different things....
but I'm not saying which is true untill Em tells me too...

i picked up a little Italian when I was in Italy...
Duve el Bano is particularlry important...


my motto should be "Study history and travel the world!!"
MOST of my exploits have been gifts from the fine tax payers in the state of California!!!
I don't go on vacation... I go on "RESEARCH" for several trips I've gotten grants from my University and other organizations. There were a couple of scholarships I've won that have paid for some of it and loans for the rest!

AND since it's all "work related" all of it is a tax write off!!!!

but I'm not saying which is true untill Em tells me too...

Dang it! I'm so curious now!

i would have to guess... "where is the bathroom?"

i took some spanish in HS and bano (with a ~ over the n) is bathroom if memory serves. i'll have to go look it up and see if i am right.

but I'm not saying which is true untill Em tells me too...

Do it! Do it!

(I didn't realize you were waiting for me. :eek: :o )

Okay....

the TRUTH!!!!

I have been playing violin since I was about 9 years old, and have played with the San Fernando Symphony Orchestra and the LA Jewish Symphony.

I have taken SEVERAL classes at the University of Judiaism here in Los Angeles.

The LIE...

while I have studied German since I was 12, I am by NO MEANS fluent!!! And have not yet traveled to Germany to test it!!

YAY! I was right! lol!

LOL...Chiky, you had us all going with the German thing! :D
