Rainy day. I watch the rain fall. Rain.
Still in Paris, the city of love, without my love…
No you can’t but I thought it was funny.
this lovely gem whilst digging through old things. Whenever I’m home for a break I always feel the need to clean my room and find things like this. It’s some kind of self introduction written in 5th grade.
Hello, I’m Kris. I have a big imagination, which I use in my spare time for thinking, playing and writing. I like soccer and whiffle ball but that is about it for sports. Right now I want to go to a lot of faraway places like Australia, Europe, and Japan. I have two pets, one is a cat named Pearl who has got a mind of her own and I have a fish. I can sound meaner than I am sometimes and other times when I’m annoyed with everything I can be horrible, but I do have a nice side which I use most of the time. At least I think so.
It’s also got an adorable picture of me pasted on it. In a tie-dye shirt and glow in the dark clip-on hoop earrings.
edit: I just reread what I wrote and now it sounds really boring and stupid. But I already wrote it all down so… I think the picture must be what makes it.
It’s come to my attention that my Japanese class has reached a point where we have stopped learning normal, useful vocabulary and are instead learning ridiculously context specific, confusingly complex words. And these aren’t funny like the last donut one.
北進論
ほくしんろん
hokushinron
endorsement of northern expansion
No, really, what am I learning anymore? what does that even mean? when will I use that ever? Unless, of course, I reinstate the Japanese army and lead said army in a Northernly direction. Only North though because that’s all I can say and be 100% sure I’ve got it right. Wouldn’t want me making a fool of myself and saying something totally silly, would we?
Which brings us to our next word:
戒厳令下
かいげんれいか
kaigenreika
under martial law
I- what? To point out the extreme uselessness of this word I just want to say I read this as “marital law” at first, which got me a little excited because I thought it might be relevant to something, or, you know, anything at all ever. But then it was martial law and I had to go look it up……….
………..
I had a notion of what it meant beforehand, ok? Geez. Hope you guys are enjoying this as much as I am not.
