My first day of posts is here.

In the first post, I made it obvious that I was a first year in Japanese. I was eighteen years old.

In the second post from the same day, I though I could /maybe/ pass my matricies class (I didn't) and felt that my love for Angelique would live forever (it has, though Haruka has eclipsed it somewhat). I was in love with /Clavis/ and not Olivie (though he was my bishi of the moment) and I didn't know the kanji for egao. [personal profile] baranoneko was the honored 'Kat-senpai'. I was listening to what is still one of my favorite Japanese songs ("Air" by Uehara Takako) and I had just done an Utena meme. I had only two user pics, one from Kizuna and one of Mikage.

What's changed?
Well... quite a lot actually. )

Anyway. Introspective rambling over now. Time to go work out a bit and them sleep for a while. Need to be presentable and intelligent for the Boss's boss tomorrow.

As of today, I've had this journal for four years. Since 19 November 2002.
I reviewed those past years briefly... )

Anyway, as a present for my LJ anniversary, I got the day off from work.
Ok, not really. But it lined up that way.

I spent the first bit of the morning (last night's 深夜) playing Diablo and then catching up on Shukudai-kun and GRA.
I slept a lot, which was nice. And then proceeded to continue my re-reading of Hellspark.
I /adore/ this book. I really really do.

It reminds me how much I love linguistics. And how important I think it is to 'dance' the language you're speaking and not just speak it. I think that's always been my issue with my father, at least a little. While he speaks it well enough, and he tries to be aware of the customs, he's too tall to really dance Japanese properly. It's probably the same reason I have trouble with some things at work, like eye contact and answering to authority. At some point, some small part of me switched on a basic level over to Japanese kinesics. This is bad because it means that with that as my default, I don't entirely know how to dance American English anymore. I should work on that.

Anyway, now I have quilting to do and potential Death Note and IstuKimi to watch. Yay for days off.
