That was supposed to say "swimming again", but when I typed it, that's how it came out, so I kept it that way. It made me giggle. So yeah, Crystal and I went swimming today, got new tattoos, we got our names written in the alphabet that the Americans on Earth use in cursive on our left arms, and I am cooked. Medium well. stil alive, but edible. We did more experimenting on what you can hear underwater in Ish's foot. We also overheard some weird kids from the swamp talk about Earth (there have been rumors going around since Rei got here), one of them said "You don't tip penguins, it means you're in trouble" and another one made a comment about how the penguins move too fast for you to tip them anyway. We found this weird bouncy rock and were throwing it back and fourth... I kept it. Its name is "Squee".

What rumors???
*reads*
... i don't even know what that means and i've come from earth... as a matter of fact... the penguins are practically in no man's land down in the artic or north pole... i can't remember which. unless their talking about the ones with the eye brows at the equator... then i still don't know about the saying...
heres a few sayings i know:
"don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back"
"don't assume as it makes an ass out of me and you"
Yeah, we know about Earth sayings. We've visited a few times. And penguins are in the arctic.
wait... i thought there was no way back to Earth...
ah well whatever.
No, Ish can fly there. and you've somehow opened another way there by however you got here. Crystal, Ish, and I are debating wether or not to accept any other people of Earth into Elsewhere. We fear that they will bring their ways to Elsewhere, so anyone else that comes has to completely adapt and change to fit Elsewhere.
in other words... your going to force people to change... well atleast you didn't go conquire them first and then tell them to change... that usually leads to a rebellion...
the religious fanatics might be harder to do get to drop their ways... usually its they hear about a new place, then they go berserk trying to convert as many people as they can and "save" them or something... personally i think its better just not to bother with that stuff... only thing useful from those crappy "holy books" are the history within them... though distorted to make things look like a "divine being" did them.
well, no one's maknig them com to Elsewhere. First off, we have to watch them and decide they're the rigt type of person, second, they have to express an interest, third, they have to agree to change, and become an Elsewherian. If they don't want to, then they don't come. We're only taking people that want to be like us.
well... considering i fell here from my closet... unless these holes are randomly opening and closing now all across earth... then i doubt elsewhere will have much trouble for a long... long time...
Well, we havn't officially decided if we will accept any more people. and you're only one person. If you act American, people will just think you're weird. It wont catch on.
But it seems that there havn't been anymore crossworldly travellers. So we're safe for the moment.
uh... i'm not sure how an American acts... i may be from there, but i've had nothing to compare it... maybe accents but thats as far as it goes... only thing i can compare for sure is the economies and so forth... our poor on the street are all conartists... the ones that actually hold up signs for food anyway. they have shelters they can go to and churchs that donate food and clothes for them... other countries poor need the stuff people randomly give up more.
Well, the stereotypical American. Lazy, bored, poor hygene, pretends to be hard-to-impress, full of themselves, obnoxious, can't shut up, those are just the bad things...but there are some regular mannerisms, like sayings, phrases, American slang, chat/texting lingo, and things they might bring with them, cell phones, mp3 players, a watch, American clothes, all could leak into our people's daily lives. This would be bad.
actually... not all americans are lazy... and boredom comes with the fact we are spending to much time indoors usually... poor hygene... ha! you should see some of the other countries. hard to impress... that would come from possibly one, America is a super power in the world i come from, two Americans typically do have better lives and have seen way way to many movies and never stop to smell the roses or don't even see them... full of themselves... yeah... i can say that can be said for most... comes from, once again, the country being a super power, sticking its hand in every little affair the other countries have... obnoxious, thats personal point of view and depends upon what you define it as... and can't shut up, i believe i just proved that now didn't i?
sayings and phrases... actually those usually come from other people and observations from the past. american slang is just people being lazy in how they speak. chat and texting... bleh! unless its on a computer its just a big huge annoyance, not worth the trouble. cell phones require satillite, so if that were to work at all in this world, the americans would need to put some in to your orbit. mp3 players, there are a lot of crude songs out there. time is a man made thing, so watches would usually come, but that has its ups and downs... depends upon who you are and your job... clothing could very well be what starts bringing in capatalism to your world along with the other things.
i think how your world works now is because of its conditions at current.
well, by poor hygene, I meant that, even though most americans can afford to take care of themselves, they don't. other countries that have poor hygene would take care of themselves if they could. well, we're not so much worried that cell phones and things would work, we just don't want people here to be introduced to these things and want them. which they probably wouldn't. They generally don't like things that have been brought from other places. We just don't want to wind up mixing with Earth, and have everything americanized. Once your government find out we're here, who knows what they'll do.
lets see... most likely the goverment will do one of three things... 1, try to some how open up trade with you as thats what they're big deal is. 2, ignore you entirely, seeing you as a country of savages. and unlikely #3, conquer your turf and make it apart of the united states of america.
how capitalism works is, its a type of economy system for starts, where supposedly a giant invisible hand controls how the economy works, no government involvement at all, a company sets the prices for its products and the company and the buyers will have a supply and demand system where the companies and the buyers will eventually agree on a price. in a company for a job, if the worker works harder, they may eventually get a raise, or more days off or some kind of bonus. they're interesting ideas.
however... that damn president Obama is trying to change Americas economic ways from Capatalism to Socialism, where the goverment controls some of the more important resources and has a hold in the businesses... this is almost as bad an idea as communism, where the goverment has absolute control over the businesses and everything... why give more power to the idiot monkeys up at congress when they can't even do half of the things they do without causing a big huge raise in taxes or attempt to take away its people's rights...
i'll admit this... any goverment, is never immune to corruption...
