Happy new year 2005 to you, too!
Being a professional linguist and lover of languages, I always enjoy reading your blog. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
By the way, I hope you already found a new job where you can exercise your talents...

Happy New Year to you. With the celebration of the New Year I would like to add some comments about the Friendship as my message. My own personal "OPINION" about friendship is a little different. To me peoples "WHO GIVES POSITIVE SIGNAL, HAVE FRIENDLY WAYS, AND KEEP FRIENDLY ATTITUDE" are only considered to be friends and worthy of friendship. To the peoples whoever DON'T AGREE, for them this is all I have to say, "stay the hell away from me okay and keep the gap. I DON'T KNOW YOU."
