Introduction thread for new JPLOP friends!

[Yattaruchan]

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah Eri is the best. The perfect mix of everything as far as I'm concerned, including just the right amount of oddball/craziness that only she can do.

And as for Berikyu, even though I've always liked them to some degree, especially Okai, I thought they were a little too young to follow properly. My real love for them started during the Yorosen show. They'd matured really well physically at that point, and were very entertaining and funny. And since then, I can look at their younger stuff more openly because I know what/who they became. If that makes sense to anyone else.

^ Welcome to the wonderful world of H!P and J-pop!

Name? Stamen (I think it means somthing like.... "the one who will continue standing on" , and it's kinda cool, but if you search it in the internet you'll find only images about flowers, it seems like stamen in Englsih stands for the reproductive organ of the flowers.... yeah.... m... nice )

Despite its modern botanical usage, the English word stamen (as well as stamina, originally its plural) does in fact have the same origin, being derived from the Indo-European root *stā 'stand'. The Latin word stāmen referred to the vertical threads (the "warp") in an upright loom.

Here's an article on the subject: http://www.languagehat.com/archives/003141.php

At this point I must also say: Welcome to the wonderful world of etymological digressions!

[stam4o]

^ Interesting, interesting, it makes a lot more sense now : O
I like my name very much, it's unique and applies well to my weird personality, and it's even not common in my native country....
It's spelled (stɑ-mɛn), like sharply, and not (stɛː-mæn) how it would be read in english. But people have called me so many ways already, that I just don't mind if it's misspelled, actually it's more fun for me to have so many name references I could answer to

[Sohee]

Welcome. :0 I hope you'll like it here. We're all nice, really.
...most of the time. :3

[Yattaruchan]

Yes welcome.

One of the reasons I finally got on these forums was, apart from loving H!P of coarse, because it seemed like a quite a friendly atmosphere, like what Sohee implied.

[stam4o]

Yup, I'm starting to notice it
Though I still get a bit lost, much much information @_@
