    I'm fine too, but school's been stressing me out lately.

    Well, it exists. And it all depends on the country. Since I've told you some of the differences between Bulgarian, and Russian, take those two for example, and compare them.

    Bulgarian accent? That's something I've never heard of before, haha. :D I keep on thinking that every Slavic speaker has the same accent, but yeaah. x)

    Grammar is, like, the best part. :D I find some stuff hard to pronounce due to my Bulgarian accent, tho.

    I find pronouncation to be the easiest part in any language, haha. The worst part for me is the grammar - the word order specifically. :(

    Slavic languages are complicated. Foreigners always seem to mispronounce the words when they speak Bulgarian, for example. Which is, ironically, the easiest part. {XD}

    Always interesting hearing a new language fact. :) I'm a fan of Slavic languages, but they are usually really hard to learn. (Polish, Czech etc)

    Probably. Both languages have words taken from Bulgarian, and Latin, tho.

    Not at all. Russian is like a softer, messed up version of our language. Bulgarian is rougher, and we read words the exact way they're written, unlike Russian. The Cyrillic alphabet was based on the Early Cyrillic, developed in the First Bulgarian Empire, you see.

    Take this last name, for example: In Bulgarian, we say Ivanov. In Russian, they say Ivanovic. See how they change it? Let's go a little further:

    Здравей/те (Zdravei/te) - Hello. The -te is added for plural, or to make it formal.
    Здравствуйте (Zdravstvuite) - Hello, but in Russian.

    I check 9Gag every day. It is currently flooded with either GOT posts, or anything World Cup-related.

    Yeah, it does seem like it. It also feels like a sharper version of English.

    Huh, I thought it was the other way around. What I know about Bulgarian is that they use the Cyrillic alphabet and hello is zdravite or something.

    I frequent 9Gag too, usually before I sleep - something to get me tired and all. And you're probably right, I've not seen those kinds of posts only on 9Gag, but everywhere else as well. :P Might consider watching those episodes, eventually.

    I've had a few Dutch friends, and what I learnt is that Dutch is the messed up version of German. Kinda like how Russian is ♥♥♥♥ed up Bulgarian, but not many people are aware of that.

    Thanks to 9Gag, I was able to sum up Game of Thrones in a sentence, or two:
    Lots of sex/incest. If you like a character, he/she will be killed off. That is the law of Geogre R. R. Martin, the person behind the series.

    As much as I'd like to call myself trilingual, I can't, because I'm not that fluent in Dutch to consider myself one. I speak English, Tagalog and I'm learning Dutch myself ... since two years ago. :d

    Hm, my cousin sent me her episodes of Game of Thrones, but I never watched those things yet. Don't feel like watching those either, haah.
