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?

Yaoi-Con (meandering into off-topic annoyance)
I live a 20-minute train ride away from San Francisco. Add the ten minutes it takes me to walk down to the station and its still only a half-hour commute to the city.
A commute I take every day I have class, so its no big deal.
I could so totally go to Yaoi-Con.
Except its gotten kind of . . . . Well, in the words of people more literary than me: "myeh."
If one could just drop-by, I definitely would, but I'm unclear on whether one can just show up, or if theres tickets involved, or what. It doesn't seem worth the hassle of registering, etc. Just to see fangirls pimp their AMVs, and play 'omg-I-am-such-an-insider'.
And squee-ing. I can't frikkin' stand squee-ing.
Especially superior fan-girl squee-ing. Especially of the 'my AMVclips are so much more rare' variety and the 'I am more hentai' variety.
And dont' even get me started on the 'stick to the rules of physics in anime fanfic I teach English' variety. It's anime. Hammers appear out of itty-bitty pockets in anime, and you're upset that someone had stars visible in a city.
Give me a break.
Oh, I have so much hate. It's Low-blood-sugar, forgot-to-eat-since-lunch-yesterday hate, but damn, I could take you all out with it.
(Things ranted on, then deleted: PL Nunn's art work; Live Journal; Live Journal users; I-am-so-in-love highschool guys on my gay forum; Giant sig images on AI; High-schoolers in general; More-of-a-fan-than-you fangirls; I-had-it-before-you/saw-the-trailer-first fan mentality; the smut=kudos standard of yaoi fandom art appreciation; fandom superiority complex; cosplayers, etc) When the topics ran together into generalized irritation at every-damn-thing I realized I needed to eat something.
