HOLIDAYS!!! I'm freeeeeeee!!! ... and... bored....... but some things have happened already.

***** ***** *****

A couple of weeks ago, my mum went skydiving for her birthday from 10,000 feet (I think) :o . Might have been metres. Anyway, she wanted to do it for her 40th last year, but the weather was bad, and so she did it this year! Her and a friend did it... they're both scared of heights..... :clap:
They got strapped to a professional each (a little too close for comfort), and freefell for 30-40 seconds or so before actually using a parachute. Woohoo!

***** ***** *****

Plates hurt when they hit you. Especially if it's in the mouth. The one in question was solid and plastic...

***** ***** *****

Armageddon is/was awesome :XD: ! By the way, Armageddon is a gaming convention in New Zealand. I dressed up this year as Jessie from "Team Rocket" (you know... from Pokemon...), and my partner in crime ( :iconwalnutangel: ) was James from the same show 'n' team. We kept on getting stopped for photos. You can find a few pics on DA, but not many. We didn't even get to enter in the Cosplay contest.......

Saying you worship a certain deity/belong to a certain religious sect in your signature will not convert me to your religion/cult/fandom/ship/etc.

Of course, this (and the following) is hypocritical.

Hostility for the sake of posterity is an obscenity in this vicinity. Plain old hostility is fine though.

This statement is false.

Meh, don't bother thanking me for a fave on my main page. Just have a quick scan through my gallery...... =3

It was a commercial featured on 'Funniest Commercials.' It wasn't funny at all. More like....really weird. But I understood it.

I'm learning the basics but I want to understand full conversations. My favorite anime is new so you can get the RAW version and subs later. But I want to know what is going on and because I watch the RAW, I am learning some basic stuff. Now, when they talk, I have a strong suspicion of what they are saying. I'm, sadly, 40% right but I am getting better. There are also terms they they use that help me. Like...I know words for 'Father' or 'Mother' and that helps me formulate what the conversation is about.

I also watched a movie where an American was in Japan and they were sub'ing what she said and, again, I didn't need most of the translation. But it was very basic stuff she was saying. She asked where something was, apologized, asked someone their name and asked if they were okay, and greeted people. So I got that. But when an actual Japanese person gave her directions, I had NO clue to what she said.

What part of Japan did you visit??? I kinda want to go but....I would just reinforce the Japanese impression that Americans are without class, intelligence, and loud.

I'd get off the plane and be like 'CRAP! This is AWESOME!!!' >_< And they would be like '-sigh- Another American....great'

Woohoo, my primary school rocked then! Actually, my primary school WAS pretty good.............

:D There are Japanese commercials where you live? We just get English..... Occasionally with Maori........

What kind of phrases e.t.c are you learning...? A few of my friends have been learning Japanese at school....... And now I feel strange, because I've gone to Japan, and yet I knoiw less Japanese than them. o__O

I looked into it and 'Arigato' is correct. So go Primary School!

I saw a commercial in Japanese and felt so proud because I needed no translation. ^______^

I'm learning.....very slowly.......

Ooooo, I see. I got taught minimal Japanese in my "primary school". I don't remember much of it, except "ohio gozhaimus", "konichiwa", "arigato" and "sayonara". :boogie:

Yes! Crumpets! But for the people who disobey, there is no crumpets. Only asparagus, boiled cabbage and raw beef every Sunday.
Have a magical crumpet. It fires lasers. *gives you crumpet* .

According to Berkley's 'Easy Japanese'

'Very easy and unique way to learn Japanese. ... When someone gives you a present, you can say "Domo", instead of saying "Thank you'

I think 'arigato' is 'very.' So, basically, 'Domo arigato' is a formal thank you. Like 'Thank you very much' or something like that.

I might be wrong.
