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?

seizing power is most of the fun
Today I wrested control of my World History group's Socratic. Which is an essay, but with added wank and pretension. It's extra hilarious because the same guy who spent fifteen minutes of the first class telling us how he is a PhD, and runs his classes to that standard also keeps reminding us how to spell 'professor'. One F, two S-es, people. I'll never forget again. 9__9
It's not that I'm all "Go history team!" and, or even particularly willing to make an effort for that team, it's just that the girl that who keep telling me how shes a pro at essays has weird sentance structure and bizarre logic. She wants me to mail my finished writing so she can check my grammar. I said "sure", even though I coup d'etat-ed that essay because I don't trust her writing skills. (The third member of our team is a guy who nods and goes "uh-huh" and gets out of firing range when we fight about commas.)
I like to pretend I like academia, but I think really, I just like to wrest control of group projects, or, failing that, projects that aren't even mine. A non-school example is that right now, I'm trying to long-distance strong-arm my brother into using the journal host of my prefference, for absolutely no reason at all except that it's where I'd host a journal.
Him: Why do you even care?
Me: I don't, really. I just want you to give in. It's kind of like winning, but better, because every time you log into your blog, I win again.
Him: There's shit wrong with you, you know that?
Me: No, seriously, tabulas has image galleries! :D !!!
Him: I'm putting you on permanent invisible.
Sometimes I can totally see when I'm being control freaky and unhinged, and reading what I've just written, its funny, because its exactly what I'm doing, and exactly why I'm doing it, but it's still pissing me off that he's not agreeing to blog my way. GRARGH!!!
I can't cope with this.
