finished with the Finnish

I am a foreigner in my own country. I struggle when I speak to my neighbours. Linguistic minority: inferiority complex. Home is not really home. I'm so sick of this.

I am assaulted by the strange and threatening Finnish language wherever I turn but it runs away laughing when I try to make friends with it.

Perkele.

Thats great. In India, there are more than too many languages. I know three lingos. {One mother tongue:Tamil, 2nd Country tongue:Hindi, third:State tongue:Bengali.and obviously English, which I consider to be the worst tongue in the world}
Hell, its good that you know your country's lingo!

Great to know that you saw Pitch Black Now, buy the DVD of Chronicles of Riddick and watch it. Then go see the animated short The Chronicles of Riddick:Dark Fury then play the gaem The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay: Developer's Cut Then buy a pair of Riddick goggles and build a Riddick shrine, and pray like hell for a sequel. Plus, I like the fact that you hate brits too.

Yes, and then I explain to my employers the fact that I never have time for work by insisting the real world is on another planet and that I don't have time for unrealities...

Ha HUMAN! This world is illusion: Maya the Hindu word for it, which was stolen by the Wachowski bros in Matrix. In any case, I just noticed did you finish off with studies and joined Consultancy?

No, it's a while since I did any studying except for studying the lives and loves of humankind... I'm trying to survive on doing translations.
