[identity profile] twbasketcase.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
ARE TOO. I love your hair!

Also, I swear, it's impossible for most European accents to sound silly. They sound so classy and fun

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you ;; I have a problem with hair bows, it's sort of ridiculous.

Pfft my accent isn't European. It's like a horrific mixture between American and English I don't even know what it is half the time.

All my english friends think I have an American Twang.

[identity profile] twbasketcase.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
See I can't even hear any American at all!

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
HERP. That's usually the case! But I assure you it's there.

[identity profile] blackestocean.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
YOU ARE THE WINNER OF THIS MEME.

Because you pronounce exactly what is written in the meme. Aluminium is NOT the same as aluminum. Admittedly, I think that was a typo but still. That totally made me laugh.

Good luck <3!

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
OMG WHAT TO I WIN?

See I thought all Americans just said Aluminium wrong? I think both terms are correct, depending on what part of the world you are, but yeah. It's not written in the American format SO.

I've never used the term Aluminum AND I DON'T PLAN TO EVER. :D

THANKS!

[identity profile] blackestocean.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're right that both terms are correct. The American Chem Society uses "aluminum" but IUPAC (which is really the leading chem science org) adopted "aluminium" in 1990.

[OH GOD BELIEVE ME THE ONLY REASON I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE I AM IN ORGANIC CHEM. Yeah, I'm a loser.]

Anyway, you win...hmm, what would you like? I can make pathetic drawrings or write you a drabble.

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I did Chemistry A Level so I think that's where I learned that from. I WAS GOING TO DO CHEMISTRY and then I found my calling in the arts apparently idk

lmfao I wasn't expecting a PRIZE. But I never have enough tommy/tammy icons YOU COULD DRAW ME SOMETHING HIDEOUS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO :D

[identity profile] blackestocean.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
haha, I wasn't thinking about giving you a prize either. But I want to! I'll work something up this weekend :)

[identity profile] blackestocean.livejournal.com 2011-02-05 02:21 am (UTC)(link)

So. I guess this is the time to tell you. I'm not a very good artist.

[identity profile] lilpocketninja.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
is it weird if I tell you your accent is, like, the best thing ever???

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
probably a bit considering it can't make up it's mind.

[identity profile] lilpocketninja.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
that's what makes it the best thing ever.

I was reading the words along with you and you got to aluminium and I was like :O! THERE'S AN I THERE?

But then I read your conversation with [livejournal.com profile] blackestocean and now I understand.

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
