Because I use a lot of Indo on this mostly English site, here's some lingo for the uninitiated:abang=big brother
ade/adek=younger sibling (gender neutral)
bete/bt=a negative emotion, usually irritation or a bad mood
cewe/ce=slang for girls
cowo/co=slang for boys
ja'im (jaga imej/image)=guarding your social image
kakak (pronounced kaka')=older sibling (gender neutral, or female, depending)
--kak (ka')=honorific for older siblings or 'sempai'
kuliah/kul=college
gwe (sometimes gw, gue)=slang for I or me
SD=elementary school
SK (sometimes es-ka; setia kawan): solidarity, loyalty (among friends) skul=school
SMA=high school
SMP=middle school
TK=kindergarten
wa=slang for I, me (same as 'gwe')
what are all those 2s? this is shorthand for a 'kata ulang' or repeated word. ngakak2 is read ngakak-ngakak= laughing very hard
any words that need to be added?

home again
Back in the states. Feels very un-home-ish at the moment. Un-home-ish and too damn cold. Just got here. Am muy wasted. Fucking long haul flights. Why the mothers of small children sleeping across seats feel the need to put backrests all the way back is beyond me. No one was even usign the damn thing and it would have so spared my knees. My left knee, in particular, which hates not beign able to straighten out properly. Had to walk up and down the aisle, but it did nothing but get me looked at suspiciously. Huh.
Hassled by customs more so than usual. ><;
Had to undo the locks on my suitcases to re-check them after customs and then hand them over to some goof who rifles through your carefully packed stuff behind a partition. You don't even get to stand there and keep an eye on your junk anymore.
When I got my suitcase back, I noticed that they hadn't refastened the one remaining luggage strap (the first got pulled off somewhere between Jak and San Fran). The remaining luggage strap holding the stuff in my 3/4 filled bag in place. Oi.
At first I thought all my bajak2 anime was gone, but no, it had just shifted way down to the bottom. Haven't unpacked anything, but bet to hell all my manga is rumpled. *sniffle* DNAngel covers so pretty . . . . They better not be ruined!!!
Anyway . . .
Sorry I didn't get to meet you all, or any of you actually. between keluargaan and my damn stomach bug, I only got to see even my old friend once.
B: I got you an oleh2. XD
UT: Really? Mana?
B: I forgot it at home.
UT: Hah? Bodoh banget sih! Trus ngasihnya gimana nih?
B: Next time I come home . . . I don't need to get you anything. XD XD
UT: Kancut.
People kept asking me if I'd dyed my hair. XD How strange. They said it's not 'pirang' anymore. Was my hair ever pirang? ^^;; This is my normal haircolor, tau!
UT: Oh. maybe you used to be 'kurang gizi'. XD
^^;
I miss her. I . . . er . . . forgot to answer her last sms. ><' Gomen ne!!
UT: Gwe engga kaget. Itu kan kebiasaan bangsat elo.
