> WHAT? I have NO idea how you got that. You must have picked up some Spanish from being exposed to it or something. I looked at that sentence again, and even being serious about it, I can't decipher a single word. I do believe that "llama" means "name" from the context, though. (And I got that from Elly's post, and had it confirmed here. I AM NOT A BIG DUMMY.)

"Me llama _____" basically means "I am called _____." Comes from llamar, which means "to call."

My whole little Spanish line there basically said "My name is Ria. I hope that I don't have to go to bed very late... I hope that I can go to bed a little early because I have school tomorrow."

There you go.
