● Jan van Tonder
● Van my borste ooit verder as hulle huidige 32A sal ontwikkelaar (shes a 32A
in cup size and she wants bigger boobs)
● Ek gaan eendag 'n gróót skrywer woord (I'm going to be a great writer one
day.)
● Haar naam is Dawn Winterbach.
● Ek is gewoon vroegoggend gebore. Dankie tog dat Mamma besluit het om
my Engelse naam te gee, anders het ek dalk nou Sonop van of Dagbreek
geheet. (I was just born early in the morning. Thank goodness Mom decided
to give me my English name, otherwise I might now have Sonop of the
Dagbreek.) - which is an afrikaans word for sunrise or dawn
● Dawn was Mamma se besluit, ja, want sy is die enigste een wie se hier rond
enigste tel. (her mom calls the shots)
● Woordeboeke is my ding. (loves dictionaries) Ek kan die HAT omtrent uit my
kop opsê. En ek lees tesourusse en sinoniem en spreekwoordeboek vir die
lekkerte. (I can recite the HAT about my head. And I read thesauruses and
synonyms and proverbs for fun)
● As julle nie skrywers van lesers wil woord nie, vergeet dit gerus. Dis 'n blerrie
óú woord en dis net mense soos ek en my oupa en Langenhoven wat dit nog
nie gebruik nie. En Emile. Emile is my kêrel. (If you don't want to become a
writer, forget it. It's a blerrie old word and it's just people like me and my
grandfather and Langenhoven who do not use it yet. And Emile. Emile is my
boyfriend.)

, ● Hy is great. Skamerig en mooi en slim. Ongelukkig gaan hy die môre
universiteit toe en dan is dit die laaste sien van die blikkantien. (He's great.
Shy and pretty and smart. Unfortunately he goes to university tomorrow and
its the last time i'll see him)
● Hy kom later vanaand groet. (coming to say goodbye)
● Hy sal my sekerlik warm vry in die hoop dat ek uiteindelik sal toegee. (hes
going to make out with him and then she’ll sleep with him)
● Jammer, party mense weet nie hoe belangrik dit is dat 'n skrywer ongesteurd
moet werk nie. Dit was my boetie. Sy naam is Joachim. (Sorry, some people
do not know how important it is for a writer to work undisturbed. It was my
brother. His name is Joachim.)
● Joe-haa-Gim. By die skool is dit sommer Joggie. Hy sê hy wag net tot Pappa
oud is, dan gaan hy hom in 'n goor outehuis sit. (Joe-haa-Gim. At school it's
just Joggie. He says he's just waiting until Daddy's old, then he's going to put
him in a nasty old age home.)
● Maar dit sal oor verskillende goed wees wat ons grens. En hy sal weggaan en
nog een of twee keer van Stellenbosch af bel of die e-posse stuur en dalk 'n
naweek huis toe kom en sê hy kan nie sonder my leef nie en my weer trey en
dan. (But it will be about different things that cry us. And he will go away and
call once more or twice from Stellenbosch or send the e-mails and maybe
come home one weekend and say he can not live without me and marry me
again and then.)
● En Emile kán nogal soen. (he can kiss)
● As ek nie so plat was voor nie, het ek hom dalk 'n bietjie meer toegelaat,
maar ek is skaam. Ek laat hom liewer wonder as weet, al voel ek partykeer
soos 'n streng oujongnooi as ek so bly keer. (If I hadn't been so flat before, I
might have allowed him a little more, but I'm ashamed. I'd rather let him
wonder than know, even though I sometimes feel like a strict old maid when I
keep stopping like that.)
