Post by: Anneliese on June 04, 2015, 05:56:32 AM: Alright. I'm new here, but I'm definitely not shy. I was told to jump into the general discussion, and this was the first thing I saw, so I figured this was as good a way as any to kind of introduce myself to you guys. So, I suppose the name already covers this, but feel free to ask me anything!

I am so glad you're putting yourself out there...a lot of new people get shy or intimidated, and we never see them after they post their Citizenship app. It's sad cause...well, as close-knit as we are here, we need new friends to become an even better community...but enough of my reflections. :P

I suppose first thing first! What are you looking for in NationStates and from your region?

Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Anneliese on June 04, 2015, 11:23:23 AM: @Wintermoot - I love politics and roleplaying, so I suppose I'm looking for some combination of those. As we discussed, I'm pretty keen on learning more about families on NationStates. I've heard they're insanely hard to keep track of.

@Govindia - Yes! And proudly so!

@Laurentus - My name is German. In High German, it would be pronounced AH-nuh-LEE-zuh, but the regional dialect my parents speak pronounces it more like uh-nuh-LAY-zuh, so that's how I like it! Though it's always interesting for me to think about names being in certain languages, since they are the same no matter what language I'm speaking.
Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Laurentus on June 04, 2015, 11:47:07 AM: Ah, I thought so. As a South African, we learn High German at school (if we choose to learn German at all), so it was strange to see you describe the pronunciation in that way.

How do you find life in America as someone of direct German descent?
Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Anneliese on June 04, 2015, 12:02:17 PM: I was born in the States, and only lived a few years of my life in Germany, though I usually go there over the summer. It's definitely a different culture. I'm not going to say I prefer one over the other, since I think a place is what you make of it. I wish belief in the old gods was more prevalent in the States. They're pretty legit!

Not to mention that only guys wear lederhosen traditionally. While I do love sauerkraut on my bratwurst, it's really not a current stereotype. We are all about the curry these days. If you're ever in Berlin, try the Currywurst.

I loved Hardhome. I don't know where anyone is with the books, so I shan't discuss them. But yeah the episode really put the petty squabbles of Westeros into perspective.

Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Laurentus on June 04, 2015, 08:10:33 PM: I have this strange thing where I can no longer speak any language apart from German with a slight accent. Even my native language, Afrikaans, has a slight English-German accent, while my English has a slight Afrikaans-German accent. I think I can speak Latin with the proper accent, but I'm not sure. My French is just terrible when I try to speak it. Not that I can speak much of it.

And I've also realised that people aren't always completely aware of their accents. There isn't anything wrong with having an accent, it just shows that you've got a rich linguistic history. :P

That's cool.

I was born in Singapore to my family and we moved to the States when I was two months old. I lived mainly in the midwest and east coast. After university, the job (when I had good work) moved me to the Left Coast.

Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Laurentus on June 05, 2015, 01:42:51 AM: That was actually a good answer. But let me trip you up a bit. :P

Surely a serial killer and rapist should be put away out of mercy to his next potential victims? And yet that is also justice. Can the argument then be made that the two are opposites and exist in vacuums?

Another question:

Are you going to respond back to the people who replied on your Citizenship/Intro thread? :P

Can you translate all the German that's on here since there is no auto translator? :P
Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Anneliese on June 05, 2015, 02:37:51 AM: First, Laurentus.

Is putting a rapist or serial killer away justice? I'm not so sure. I have a really hard time saying that it is. In fact, IMO justice is only found when someone is undone by their own wrong action. Of course then you have to add in circumstantial morality. If someone was doing something wrong for the right reason, is it just for them to be punished? I'm not sure.

What I am sure about is mercy. In my life, I practice mercy, not justice. The flaming sword is not mine to wield.

And as for Kaninchen - fear. Why?

This is why
(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.comicvine.com%2Fuploads%2Foriginal%2F11%2F113883%2F3828805-5999894397-kille.jpg&hash=aff9234959814d418bbf23b102f63589)

Now Colberius.

Fear vs loved. That's a great question. It is in my nature to tend toward loved. But I think a true leader will inspire greatness from those around her. And I think true leaders will not be so caught up on being loved that they can't make the hard decision because at the end of the day she should think about her people and what is best for them, rather than what is best for her image and legacy.

Pie. Unless it's pound cake.

Meat? Always and in as many forms as possible.

And I'd consider Star Wars more of a sci/fi though it definitely has a lot of fantasy elements.
How do you enjoy your steak?

Here is mine:

Post by: Laurentus on June 06, 2015, 02:44:30 AM: Have you ever heard of a series called The Farseer Trilogy? The writer, Robin Hobb, is actually good friends with George R.R. Martin, and it is amazing how their works inspire each other.

And as for the reading: please? ;)

Though in all seriousness, I understand if you'd rather not. I can only imagine how many people's ideas have been stolen that way.

Also, who are your favourite writers?

EDIT: You keep nasty chips.
Title: Ask Me Anything: Anneliese
Post by: Anneliese on June 06, 2015, 02:50:58 AM: I have not heard of this trilogy, but I wrote it on my reading list!

And like I said...maybe ;)

My favorite writers:

Tolkien.
Neil Gaiman definitely.
Lemony Snicket is the best wordsmith alive.
Paolo Coelho
Ernest Hemingway
Shakespeare
Ayn Rand
Aldous Huxley
Douglas Adams

I think that's a good starter list lol

I can't restrain myself on the first draft. I usually destroy pages worth of words on assignments when I'm done with my first draft, so respect for being able to keep control on your first draft.

I've found that newspaper editors and journalists can really teach many writers of fiction a thing or two about keeping their shit together.

Shamanism is less a religion and more a practice. I use it to do work with others. Energy readings, tarot, runes, auras, scrying, etc. I can do shamanic voyages and other stuff like that.

Post by: Anneliese on June 06, 2015, 03:29:42 PM: I was raised Christian, but I never connected. So one day I thought man. It would be awesome if I could just go back to the simpler days of the old gods. So I googled it and found out it was a lot more prominent than people think. I started with the Norse, and still use them primarily today as my chosen deities.

But Asatru is pretty political and can be really sexist, and I don't like that, so I was looking for something else. I found Druidry, which I love. And Shamanism is beautiful. Overall you could say I'm pretty eclectic.

And yes. I was thinking of setting up a thread where I could give people readings or rituals etc.

"Hahaha! Govindia doesn't understand German at all. Wonderful! How hilarious!

He asks and asks, but what he needs is to learn German."

Relax people, maybe she'll come back soon, maybe she won't. All we can do is wish her well. And not spam her inbox with messages and mentions.
Thanks Laurentus, but I did ask Andromedian :-/

I would learn German if I had time

Sorry Govindia! I haven't checked this page until now! I could teach you a few phrases, if you would like!

Just out of curiosity, Laurentus where'd you learn German?

Post by: Laurentus on June 23, 2015, 06:06:37 AM: My mother is German, along with her side of the family, so I learnt a bit from her, and had it as a subject during school. I'm far from an expert, and on top of that, I'm very rusty, however. Where did you learn it?

EDIT: Also, "zu" should be included in: "... aber was er braucht ist Deutsch *zu* lernen." :P

The rules of German make a bit more sense when coming at it from Afrikaans. :P
