Return to kindergarden..

14 04 2008

So recently at my Japanese lesson my teacher has been given me old Japanese children’s stories to read and translate for practice. Today when the lesson was almost over, my teacher asked some random person to come over. Then it was time for me to read one of these said stories. I was nervous and felt like a kindergardener again, but it was good practice. To make it worse the girl was cute. And trust me there is nothing less manly then reading like “One d-d-day they person, Oops people went to the p-p-p-park.” But she clapped when I was done so that was cool. All on the path towards the goal I guess.

Last night was a big guy’s night out with the some guys from town. I drank way too much, but it was a sweet time. All you can drink dinner, than all you can drink karaoke for 3 hours. Apparently I am known as the guy with girls now. I always deny it and really don’t think it is true, but I am usually seen by those guys with various girls. But there are much worse things to get made fun of in life than having a lot of girls. In actuality I’m not like a ladies man at all, but I am just always seen in town by those guys when I do have a female companion. One dude was especially jeoulus and even asked for my number so I could help him out. To my ego crazy brain, nothing felt better. But as usual I need more. I want a knockout.

There’s one funny thing about my tastes in Japan. I sort of think the girls that dye their hair blonde are sexy… but apparently to girls that don’t dye their hair, they are total sluts. These girls are always with the guys that dress all ghetto and look like junkies. I don’t understand it. They are sexy as hell though. They always wear those thigh high tights that I love. I don’t like Ganguro, which is tanned as hell along with the blonde hair, but dyed hair with a nice skirt is sexy. But it seems those girls aren’t really interested in foreigners, but I will attempt to break that trend. I prefer the black, but I don’t mind the blonde movement. Some google examples..

(eyes enlarged?????? that’s a debate for another day…)

Got to have a guy as well to be fair…

Training’s Over

13 02 2008

I should of wrote this post yesterday…but I was too tired. But anyways training is now over. Met some cool people. Unfortunately most of us live four hours away so this will most likely be our last meeting, but it was a good one. One girl was really attractive, but of course she lives more than 4 hours away by bus haha. Someone being in a situation where you have 10% of the friends you had back home or makes bonding with people happen so fucking easy. Most people were really cool. Learned some stuff too which is the point I guess.

We went over some grammar points, and I really found myself not caring. Like in my head I know enough English you know? I know that a bad way to think because the students pay good money for me to know English, but for me it was difficult to care. When you study another language 3 hours a day its difficult to study your native language you think you know as well. Bad philosophy I know.

Yesterday night was one of those rare times I’m not worry about learning Japanese and can just enjoy being in Japan. I wish I could do that more but my fucking mind will not allow it. I really need a psychiatrist of something. It always takes a few drinks and fun people around..but then finally and can not worry about not knowing the language and enjoy just being here. I know that might sound stupid becuase it’s all in my own head, but thats just the way it is with me. I’m so fucked up like I try to start an English movie I brought but I can’t finish it becuase I’m not studying or learning by watching an English movie. I have a hard time listening to English music becuase I my head tells me I should be listening to Japanese music. I have to FORCE myself to listen to hockey games and howard stern even though without them I think I would go crazy. It’s really fucked up. I wish I could change it. Sort of.

Japanese of the Day…. I fucked up…. Two VERY common phrases in Japan are….”Let’s Eat” and “I’ll be back”..

Let’s Eat – “itadakimasu” –  いただきます

Seeya – “itte kimasu” – いって きます。

Don’t say the wrong one and the wrong time like me..

Your thoughts guest Japanese advisor?

<—“dumb ass….”

Music of the Day…Nightwish “Ever Dream” Keep dreaming people!
