Invitation to a Special Party

[Seabody]

Who speaks that?

The Maori people.
New Zealand, Maori are the indigenous people.
Before Pakeha (white people) came to NZ, it was just Maori here.

Oh. Do you speak it fluently?

[Seabody]

A little less than fluently.

Ko Seabody toku ingoa.
Ko Carl and Pam's Sims 3 Forum toku iwi.
Ko Seabody's Space toku hapu.
Ko Internet toku waka.
Ko Carl and Pam toku matua.

(rough translation:
My name is Seabody.
Carl and Pam's Sims 3 Forum is my tribe.
Seabody's Space is my subtribe.
Internet is my canoe.
Carl and Pam are my parents (figuratively speaking, of course. I think Chronic, jessiethedog, Fez and possibly Esther know my mother's name.)

[imaGleek]

Why does every sentence begin with Ko?

[Seabody]

Well, that's called a Pepeha. (Introduction)
The generic format isn't exactly that, but I haven't studied Maori for a while.
The format for a sentence in a Pepeha is:
Ko _____ toku __________.
So, My _________ is ________.

E.G
My   friend  is   Simstar3  , for instance.

[imaGleek]

Ok, that makes sense.

[Sportsfan]

Seabody: if you speak Maori at the party I'll speak my (terrible) Spanish.

[Esther1981]

Carl and Pam are my parents (figuratively speaking, of course. I think Chronic, jessiethedog, Fez and possibly Esther know my mother's name.)

Hmm what's your real name? I do have a guy on my list on fb that I know is from here, his avatar is a sim, but I haven't talked to him(you?) on fb.

[Seabody]

Seabody: if you speak Maori at the party I'll speak my (terrible) Spanish.

I'll try.

Oh, and Esther, if the picture is of a guy with a beard and looking sour, then that's me. In the interests of privacy, I'll say my first inital: S.

[Esther1981]

Ok, yep that's you.

So I decided to bring my cousin along. I think a nice game of shuffleboard is in hand.



Here I am playing shuffleboard with my cousin. My cousin is the blonde accompanying me. Her boyfriend is playing World of Warcraft.



My cousin is quite good at it too. I must say. My cousin was talking about how great her boyfriend is and the nice ring she got from him. Here I am saying how I really don't want a boyfriend and how much boyfriends or any long term partners are too much a waste of space while were in the beginning of the young adult stage. Heather (my skinny blonde cousin), is a hopeless romantic, while I have commitment issues.



Heather isn't too interested. She's spending time with her boyfriend of 6 years now. I think they're planning they're 6 year anniversary.

Me on the other hand, after a hard days work at Sears, I have to look my best.

[Sportsfan]

Welcome to the party Jeana! Where did you get the shuffleboard?

[Seabody]

Late Night.
EDIT: Or did you mean in RL?

[Sportsfan]

Late Night.
EDIT: Or did you mean in RL?

I meant in the sims. I don't have LN so I didn't know.

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Oh come on Jeana, just add your sim to the swap shop and add an updated version when Pets comes out. I`ll do that when pets comes out because I want to add the horse riding skill to my simself (I`ll also improve my sims collecting skill and gem collection, I major rushed that).
