Huh, that's an interesting way to write Boniface in Katakana XD;; (I was pronouncing it like Latin...) I have a Pixiv account and I abandoned it because it is so hard to navigate and upload pictures =\ The only thing I learned how to do was fave a lot and bookmark XD
I'll be stalking on Twitter, even if you post only in Japanese. I'm watching a couple of Japanese musicians and artists, so
Pff, your first tweet's about scrambled eggs XD (and what the heck is a smart bodyline??) I think you hit the nail on the head...there are a lot of social networking sites, it's annoying.

I seriously wasn't sure what to do about his name and I spent a while trying to think of what to do. I always called him BONI-fus but I had also heard it could be pronounced Bonifachi, and I thought either was cool XD So I looked it up in Japanese and the German pronunciation is Bonifatieus or something, but I think the spelling is also different. Since I've been using the English spelling for his name, I went with the official English pronunciation, or BONIFASU in katakana.
I actually found out that I've been pronouncing Neco wrong all this time. I thought it was with a hard E but it's like "neko" basically... that's kind of embarrassing. I looked up Latin pronunciation and learned I was saying it wrong. Oh well.
YES. Pixiv is sooo hard to understand, and they put tabs around all over the place, like OMG COME SEE VOCALOID!!! and I wish they wouldn't. I like some of options for uploading art, but I hate actually maneuvering the site, and nobody ever comments on pics. Even uber popular pics will have very few or no comments.
My first and so far only post was like "Tamagoyaki NOW! But I messed up. I don't know what goes in it and I just kinda randomly did stuff...It was brown scrambled eggs but... well... it was edible." Basically. I have yet to find a suitable English translation for the word "tekitou"

Yep, Neco is like 'neko'. That's the first thing I thought of when I learned how to pronounce it XD I won't be able to look at Sam without thinking of the Latin meaning first now, though >D
I pronounce it like "bo-ni-FA-she", with Spanish pronunciation. Wait, that isn't exactly Latin...oops. XD
Yeah, exactly. I've seen a lot of stuff done with Pixiv (like collected illustrations books) but then it's like "wait, why no comments on these things?!" Annoying. I think there's even an English version of the site and that wasn't helpful either XD
Hmm, tamagoyaki. :9 What does "tekitou" mean? (I only know "teki" >o>).

As long as people don't say "Boney-face" I'm good XD
Yeah, I switched over to the English version of the site to see if that actually made it any clearer, but it totally didn't, so back to Japanese I went.
Tekitou... well, like I said, it's hard to translate. I know what it means but there isn't a word for it in English. For example, if I "tekitou ni" fill out a questionnaire I probably didn't think too hard about the answers. Or if I am cleaning up a classroom and I don't really know where everything goes, I will "tekitou ni" put things in some kind of order. It's not quite half-assing, but you don't have an exact, proper way to do something. For the tamagoyaki, I didn't know what went in it, so I "tekitou ni" threw in stuff that sounded like it might work. It's almost like making do with what you've got, but even that's not a proper answer.

I...I now feel inclined to draw a chibi Boniface with a bone face/mask.
Dangit.
Oh, I should have asked "well, what's the general meaning?" then XP I read your message but forgot to not ask you again. Sorry about that. I think there *might* very small might be a word for that in English but I'm blanking out on what it is. I know what you mean.

Oh god XD
I feel like there is a word but I can never think of it, and when I try it hurts my brains.
I also forgot to explain smart body-- I don't think the younger generations use it, but when I'm walking my dog old women always say "SUMAATO desu nee", meaning he is very thin. And being an Italian greyhound (I can see his heart beat when he sleeps... like, seriously, a little area on his chest bumps up and down) he is indeed a thin dog.

Oh, just remembered something I heard last night. The reason so many people use Twitter is because it's the only website that the government apparently isn't able to stalk and use against you, yet.
Like say I say something to you about politics over an e-mail. That's watched. If I did it on Twitter, it wouldn't be. Spooky, no?
