This month we interviewed the favorite puppy dog of
#madlib, samoyed, for our player profile. All she wanted to do was
beg for treats and constantly had to go outside. What's up with
that?
The REAL samoyed!
And look! She's outside!
where
do you reside? from this planet?
i live in
this small box which i call a room in hawaii
which
island?
oahu,
which is the second oldest of the main islands, or something like
that
the other
islands are nicer...fewer people! too many tourists here
are you
originally from hawaii?
nope moved
here ummmmmmmm 6 years ago for grad school
i suppose
i should finish some day.
madlib
makes it hard to study
oh, you
will :)
where
did you live previously to hawaii?
well
before i came here...
indiana...italy..indiana
again..colorado...japan...pennsylvania...japan again...now
here
were
you an armed services brat?
nope
how
come you moved around so much?
my dad was
a minister so we moved around a lot when i was younger..but that was
just in the state of indiana...well just the northwest corner
actually
we went to
italy so my mom could study to be a montessori teacher. and we were
there for a year
wow!
yup
:)
and did
she become a montessori teacher?
yup ..and
she still is one. one of my sisters trained to be one too

parents live in hawaii too?

me

trips to japan are important!
i went as
an exchange student both times
and it's
really a wonderful place...just stay away from natto and
bashimi
what
are natto and bashimi
samoyed
shudders
hehe
well
natto =
fermented soybeans....they put raw egg on that and stir it up.
it smells
worse than it sounds
and it's
really slimey
ewwwwwwww
bashimi =
raw horse meat
okay
enough
lolol
_kitten_ heads for the vomitorium
you learn
a lot about eating food visiting other countries
and you
tried both these dishes?
oh
yeah
did you
know what you were eating?
i didn't
know i was eating horse
i knew
what natto was
_kitten_ swallows hard
lol
that is
so disgusting!
well i
tasted it ...and was like...
hmmm
this isn't
fish...it's raw..but not fish
and
you're a vegetarian lol
i am a
vegetarian NOW. you would be too after that ;)
well it's
not as bad as the time i had just swallowed the tail of a
shrimp...
yuck
then it's
head (which was still on the plate) started moving
oh my
gawd!!!!!
just
listening to you is making me want to become one
that is
so gross

like that
well...was
just me and my biological sisters most of my life
my mom
remarried when i was like 17, and that's when we got all the
steps

his number lol
what's
his name? does he have a job? how tall is he?
LOL

mind being out with a woman who is old enough to be his mother and
her body sags?

need to
i
will
oh my,

i'm
working on my PhD in Japanese Linguistics
geez,
we'll have to call you dr. samoyed, won't we?
my
research is in the relationship between Japanese and other Altaic
language
um,
what does altaic mean?
this is
why i usually just say "i'm a grad student: :)
it's the
name of a language family, like english is in the
indo-european language family
altaic
languages spread from finland to turkey to mongolia to korea to
japan
does
everyone understand this?
if not,
ask samoyed next time you see her in #madlib

have a linguistic question, ask soon-to-be Dr. samoyed
