Wow, school just kinda snuck up on me and left me with absolutely no free time :| I have all of today free though, so I'm going to try to post something. Sorry for being such an unreliable poster, guys -_-;;

I really really really need to get that Japanese character font thingy on my computer @_@

Thank you for that little tip XD I don't remember having any trouble with the no particle at least in high school, and it seems easy enough, I mean, it IS a possessive, but I'm still trying to remember everything so it's all '...okay, this should be insanely simple, why am I messing this up/is my brain shutting down?' XDD Oh I love particles @_@

...Now I know why I like being formal. Less complicated >>>>>>>>>>>> Moar complicated.

At least I know what I'll be doing during my 4 month summer, well, besides making sure I don't forget everything. *Will try to cram as many kanji into her head as possible* XDD At least Kanji is insanely fun to write! Or, it is now. I'd imagine once I get the list of all the kanji I'm supposed to know I'll be flailing, but still. XDDD

Though, best thing about the class? You and a ton of my other friends are taking Japanese, so I get knowledgeable tidbits from you when I spam you with long comments, and everyone else can feel smart when I ask them a ton of dumb questions. XDDD They're going to hate me when we start doing te forms. XD

Te form is not that bad, actually! Well, my prof last year had like a little song for us, so maybe that's why I remember it easily. Nai form is extremely annoying, though. And dictionary form also sucks. The best part? You need both (and another form) to be able to do casual style! Oh, Japan, how weird and twisted your language is. Have you done the hilarious mouthful type endings yet? Like nakerebanarimasen and shit? XDDD Those aren't hard, it's just hilarious to listen to everyone in class stumble and stutter over them. It took me a while to be able to say that one without going like "Watashi wa shukudai o shi...shinake...re...ba...NARIMASEN!!!". In my class right now we're doing the politer form of ~tekudasai, which is ~teitadakemasenka. It's beautiful how LONG Japanese is XDD

Lol if you ever wanna discuss the wonders of the Japanese language, I'm always happy to chat XDD I'm a huge language geek and can go on forever!

As much as I hate songs, I hope my Jap prof has one for us to because dangit they work!

Omg we definitely haven't gotten to them endings yet. We're having our first test on hiragana and introduction on Tuesday so I'm hoooooooping it'll be a while until we get to those. Funny thing, usually, like, when I'm being a nerd and singing along to the Naruto endings, I don't find the insanely long words that bad, but when it's in class, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, omg it takes forever. XDD

Then again, that could also be due to the fact that in class we're reading hiragana whereas my lovely subtitled openings are in romaji. XDD

I will totally keep you from your studies one day by ranting about Japanese to you. One day, I'll be able to rant about Japanese in actual Japanese. That should be fun. XDDD

I can't wait until I know enough to mumble random phrases to myself. It's bad enough I almost do that with linguistics stuff. XDDD Yay for sounding like a crazy person! XDD

My pokemon icons are endless
