Family-ish stuff

One of the things I’m always wanting to get to know about how to explain in another language is my family, because I’m very big on family and I like to brag. Well, I mainly just talk about my mother and youngest brother because I have the most to say about them. My middle brother and father has like some bragging and mostly complaining.

But I've noticed a trend. Through-out the languages I learn all the books seem to do the same thing, give me only a handful of vocabulary words to go off. (languages btw mean, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese. Eventually French. [yes, that's me bragging about myself]) So I'm stuck using those to describe my family members. It usually works for my mom and brother, they get things like 'nice' and 'cool', but my brother and dad get like 'short-tempered'. Extra work of searching up other things? I think not, I'll just stick to the truth with the short vocab words I got, thanks.

This usually works except it makes me look like I don't like my middle brother and dad. I do, just only some of the time. I mean, we all have those moments where even the people we adore say something and you want to strangle them. Not enough to kill 'em, but to make 'em shut up. Yeah, well, they do that.

I'm not sure what the point of this blog is exactly, except that it striked me odd that I have this habit. I'm also avoiding homework, specifically piles of Italian homework. I even twittered earlier. Who twitters? Ha ha.
