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?

pimping self . . .
. . . or please read my original fics. Then you can come back here and tell me all about how I suck as a writer, and can't spell to save my life. I don't mind. Any attention . . . XP
what lurks
Notes for now or later:
I write original fics as if they were fanfiction. By which I mean, I have a whole universe worked out and write small misadventures that occur/segway somewhere off that timeline. Sort of how fanfic segways into/off-of the timetable of canon. And whenever I finish one of these 'shorts' I post them and pretend they actually make sense on their own.
This is my personal, preferred way of writing. For all it's crakishness, its more fun. (Because its less work. What? Communicate? Whats that? Set-up? Why? Explanations? Huh?)
I'm never sure how much of anything makes sense, because it all makes sense to me.
So, go ahead. Have at. I'll put my tomato-proof hat on.
