Glorified pig latin! (this is a rant, a long rant)
ok so apparently I thought I was really over Avatar and I could just think of it as a movie that impacted me, that is it! No more mourning! no more tears! But I just got into this argument with my sister when I brought up that different people around the world are learning this language and using as like a go between langauge. "They're retards." She replies. "Wait what?" I couldn't BELIEVE she said that. I was so offended. She goes. "I can't believe you're learning a fake made up language from a bunch of STUPID LOOKING FAKE BLUE PEOPLE!". I just stared kind of in shock and then said. "For one the language wasnt made up from the na'vi, it was made up from a linguistics guy who developed the language for the movie, but it is a learnable langauge." "OH PLEASE IT'S GLORIFIED PIG LATIN!" That one got me I felt like I was punched in the gut and out of no where tears started to well up in my eyes. I'm thinking 'wtf?' So I told her "Pig latin you can learn in a day, you act like you've actually tried to learn na'vi" "I wouldn't do something so stupid! It's a waist of time! What GOOD comes out of this?! How is this CONSTRUCTIVE?!" She has quite a temper when you disagree with her. Then she continued on just yelling at me about how stupid and blue the na'vi look and how people are somehow being selfish by not doing something 'more constructive'. I tried to explain that it was just a hobby to people...unfortunately in a broken up voice... "I don't care what you say, PEOPLE ARE DUMB IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL LANGUAGE, PEOPLE NEED TO GET A LIFE!" It ended like that because I couldn't stand hearing anymore plus I couldn't let her see me cry over this....sighhh....I just really needed to vent...I'm so glad I have these forums...I'll no longer bring Avatar up to my family I'll unfortunately only be able to talk about it here...I mean even my mom was shaking her head and right now as I'm typing she just asked "If you could, would you turn blue?" of course I answered "No because noone else HERE is blue". and she goes "Well noone else hear knows Na'vi either...". and shook my head and said. "No one in this HOUSE. There are plenty of people that want to learn na'vi and that DO no na'vi, just not YOU guys." She just smiled at me...you know that smile people make when they think you are naive... Then she goes "But who are these people?" and I answer "Avatar Fanatics Like Me." She just shook her head at me and said "Come out of the clouds..". sigh...I love my family (I guess), but I just feel so alone like all I have are my dog and cat who understand me more than the people that've b een around me all my life! I know I have the forums but...I don't live in the forums and now my sister is trying to act like nothing happened..she doesn't realise what she's done to me....well that's all..I'm just having a hard time coping with the fact about how alone I really am. Really I just want to tell her to F*** off.
