Perhaps "atra" stands for the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association? And you've rebuilt 201 transmissions?

Or maybe it's Airedale Terrier Rescue & Adoption? And you've rescued 201 airedale terriers? Or adopted that many of them?

Surely it's not the Army Training and Recruiting Agency?

Then again, "atra" is razor made by Gilette.

I give up.

And Twitch is just a nickname I got from a bunch of friends... *EDIT *
And just your initials RMJ, I read a whole other thread that put a lot more significance on those letters than just that.

no, in Lithuanian it sounds a bit different and it writes just like that:"Aušrinė" (p.s. Amelie is my third name, exactly-Amelia )

From a book on mythology I was given the pronounciation "ow-shri'-nay" for Aušrinė. Is that how you would pronounce it?

mm, first two syllables-yes; not really "nay" there is no sound in americans language, which sounds "ė" and "r" sounds rigidly, not like americans say...

Thanks Amelie, always been curious about different languages and cultures. Not wanting to be limited to just my own. I do speak French, well Canadian French, if that helps you in describing any pronouncitations, it also lets me know how hard it can be to accurately describe sounds in other languages.

[Amelie]

you speak in french?! wow! i want to speak in french too, all summer i was learning by myself, but it's very hard, you know, i don't have much time or strength to learn a language by myself...
