Well I has no life and ... my laptop is god so I "talk to god/interact with god" everyday.
But lately I've been re-watching WeiB (Weiss) Kreuz and haven't gotten on as often...

Weiß means "white" in German... I wonder what Kreuz means...

W00t! German s**t rules! *now it rules even more in my eyes because I learned I'm part German*
Uh... I heard WeiB Kreuz meant 'White Cross' which would also explain why you see crosses appearing all the time throughout the anime.
But ... in one of the episodes I heard that Weiss or something meant 'Knights'. Which... would be where Knight Hunters came from.
*shakes head*
I'll ask Kelsey when I see her again. She's German as well and speaks fluent German.

Um, well "Knight" is "Ritter" if I recall correctly... ^^;; Cross would make a lot of sense though for "Kreuz," because German words are often very similar to English. (Kreuz would be pronounced like "Kroiz" if you go by Japanese vowel pronunciation, and "Weiß" would be pronounced much like the English word "Vice") Anyway, just looked up "Kreuz" and it does indeed mean "Cross."
Edit: Oh wait, I just remembered that "Hunter" in German is "Jäger;" reason I know that at all is because I've eaten a food called Jäger Schnitzel before, and my friend told me that it meant "Hunter Cutlet." XD;;

W00t! So I was originally correct. But... white crosses also remind me of Okane ga Nai... >.>
*shifty eyes*
And good god woman! How many languages do you know??

I'd like to have a longer, more in depth conversation with my grandpa...

And I think I'm around 20% German...
But I'm only fluent in English. o.o Know a bit of Japanese and a bit of German; that's it.

My grandpa was from Germany actually; Grandma from Italy they moved to America together.She is REALLY Italian, it makes me feel so much more cultural! I wish I could see what my Grandpa was like, but he died when my dad was 7 or so...
Haha, you still know more languages then me.. I think I know some phrases in Spanish, and some words in Japanese... I'm lame!! =O

*pops head back into thread*
o_O
I wish I knew about the rest of my heritage. But I only had enough time to talk with my grandpa about a few things... So ... So sad...
But now when my friend says she's from Pirates... and my other friend says she's from the Maffia... I can totally say I'm from Nazi's and Indians combined.
*Sorry if that offended anyone. I know all Germans aren't Nazi's. ^^*

And all Nazis aren't German. ^^ Generalizations, just because Nazis originated in Germany. It is a movement, in which every human is entitled to join... except, well... Jewish people and homosexual people and all those other ones that Nazis are against. XD;; Nazi-ism fails! D:<
