[Abi79]

So what does "abitur" mean ? My nickname comes from Albert (shorter Abi) and the 79 comes from runescape. I couldn't choose just plain "Abi" and I had to choose a number. I randomly choosed "79".

Yay. Should I say that Himmler thought I'm twenty when we first started sending messages ?

abitur = german for (final) exam
Or at least, that's what I was thought

[A. J. Raffles]

Yep. Abiturus = Latin for "he who is about to leave". They're the final exams after which you leave school.

Like an English A-level, I think.

But not an A-level where you study English... *sighs*.

No, actually it's like several A-levels rolled into one.

photocamaras seem to malfunction when taking pictures of me.

The result is always awful.

Ah, like a baccalaureat then? (that's probably very poorly spelled - I started thinking about the word bacchanalian partway through and got a bit distracted...)

I can imagine that.

Yes, sort of. You have to do a whole bunch of subjects and the final "degree" if you like is called "Abitur".

Edit: Oh, by the way, should you ever end up at a German forum, that nickname will lead people to assume you finished school in '79 ("Abi" is the widely-used abbreviation of "Abitur") and thus they'll expect you to be in your mid-forties. Be warned...

Same in Finnish forums.

I think that my preference of not being publicly displayed has little to do with chickenlike behaviour.

I just value my privacy.

This one is kinda more normal though <.<

[PrejudiceSucks]

Ooh, you're pretty good looking!

Better than the rest of the stiffs, anyway

(P.S. This was a joke, although she does look pretty good *evades bans*... cheers)
