Ahh, Feidreva... You and I will become great friends, I'm sure. I'm so happy that you found this forum from Klik and my profile. Another thing we have in common, the great and wonderful super-author KlikStar! I love her to death and I think it's really cool that you want to translate her 4WS to French. Being Canadian, you'd think I was bilingual, but sadly I never could pick up French. Ah, c'est la vie. Welcome to the forum and I hope you have fun!

Thank you so much Angel! I don't know (yet) KlikStar except through her amazing stories but I already like her very much. And to tell you the truth, it's the same for you. I'm glad you like my project to translate her 4WS. It's a tough job considering the length of her texts as well as their number. And I also want to do it properly and try to keep as close as possible to her style. It's also difficult because even though I've read her texts many times each, I often catch myself eager to read the next line and not translating it anymore! ;D And don't worry, If you're not from Quebec I perfectly understand that you don't speak French. As long as you understand what I try to say in my poor English it's fine!

KlikStar is a real sweetie and a true friend. There’s very few people as honest as her. Aww… I meant it when I said I can see you and I becoming great friends. I’ll never get used to hearing people say they like what I write so I bask in the feeling as much as I can. Thank you! Hehe, I wouldn’t have the patience to sit still long enough to translate Klik’s 4WS. I find myself rushing when I read her updates because I’m dying to know what happens next. I actually have to consciously tell myself to slow down so I don’t miss anything. So glad you found the forum! I’ll be spending more time on here now that I re-established my freedom. ;D

Soooo welcome back Angel! I'm glad we will be able to talk more in the coming days, months..... Cuzosu asked me the other day if I wanted to know something about the other members....well....I've got a question about the favourites sayings...what does "Le woot" mean?

Oh my dear, dear friend... Le Woot is an expression of happiness or excitement. When someone does something great or someone gets something they want... or is just all around happy, they "woot". It's sort of like saying "Whopee!" or "Yay!" Some people (I got it from Spoppy) just added a "le" in front of it to be cute. It's like saying "le cry" (I'm sad) or "le grrr" (I'm mad). Le Woot! is just saying you're very happy or excited. Hope that helps!

Lol. And here I am with my late response to your reply to my comment! *dizzy due to rephrasing* I get insulted fairly often by my cousin. It's as much habit as anything else, for us. But man, I almost had a heart attack when he first told me he loved me as a cousin. More than four years of being insulting (in funny ways) to each other, and suddenly he says he loves having me as a cousin? OMG!!! I 'bout died of shock. And Spop--I try to always have a way to relate to people, and it tends to come from real life. After all, everyone has problems, and it's amusing to hear about things that other people can laugh about in their lives, yes? So I have this habit--I try to make everyone laugh or smile when I say, write, or do anything around them (unless I'm uber mad, lol). Not only does it make life more bearable, but it smoothes out rough edges between people, even if I'm not the person the rough edges are grating on! Again, though, Feidreva, it's nice to have you here. We're always glad to meet new people.

Thank you thank you thank you Cuzosu! I like your habit to try to make everyone laugh about something that might be "not so funny" in the first place. You're really sweet! And I may say that from what I read on this forum, you manage to do it pretty well.

I do my "job" pretty well, huh? Feidreva, that's one of the sweetest things anyone's ever said to me. I like to make people laugh, cheer up, be happy. Cranky people get upsetting, sometimes, and honestly, the happier the mood of the people I'm dealing with is, the happier I am, too. Besides, I have a temper, and it's worse than most, so I try to be cheerful - and it's so hard to be cheerful when people are being cranky. Better for us all if I cheer them up before they tick me off, I think. Which, I have to admit, seems to be one of the reasons people like working with me. Well, and when I decide to do something, I work steadily all the way through, only taking breaks when told. XD I may be slower than some people, but I'm more efficient, and take less breaks. *rolls eyes* During inspection one time when I was working at a Burger King, I guess I impressed not only the store manager, but also the inspector -- all because I moved what I was supposed to so I could sweep underneath things. The assistant manager looked all baffled when she saw them standing outside the office, watching me sweep. "What's up?" she asked. The store manager says, "Oh, we're just waiting for her to finish sweeping under the prep table's area." She looked at me and said to them, "That's one of the things I like about her. She actually does a thorough sweep." I used to close with her and one other coworker a lot, and when it was the three of us closing, we'd be done by, at most, 45 minutes after close. Usually half an hour, tops. This was because we all knew what we liked to do--and what we were best at. My coworker once told me, "That's what I like about working with you, especially during close. I don't like to sweep, and I know that if you take the sweep, there WON'T be anything nasty to catch in the mop, like fries or sauce packets. And by the time you're done restocking, wiping everything down, and sweeping, I'm done with all the dishes and finish mopping within five minutes, so we're out almost exactly the same time. Besides, you don't get mad when I get loud and obnoxious." What could I say to that, except, "It's like when Pat throws things at people. You're just letting off steam, getting rid of stress." He said, "Yeah, but everyone else gets mad." I couldn't find the words to tell him that, compared to my twin bros who are four years younger than me, he wasn't annoying at all. XD I second Galenchia; we DO get great members here. And, Feidreva, to be perfectly honest -- I'm just one of those people who brings chaos wherever they go. Difference between me and most? People tend to be happier when I'm around. Keep up the sweetness! It'll get you love, hugs, kisses, and maybe even various stories dedicated to you! Lol.
