>>992 I'm 17! Soon-to-be a college student. Mmm, nothing right now, but I'm hoping to get a part-time job soon. I'm Jewish. Euro-mutt. English; born/raised in the states, still living in the states. Straight, but girls are pretty.
>>993 an omlette sounds good! Are you in Europe? I'm not very good with timezones.
hello I have a question. Can Swedish people and Norwegian people and Finnish people communicate with each other only with their own languages? Are their languages similar to the extent that .,.masdaalj.. ok i think i don't have to ask this here I'll google it, thankyou.
>>18 I've seen two people, Swedish and Norwegian talk in their language with eachother (though with some difficulty) But Finnish is very different from the others, isn't it?
I think Swedish is to Norwegian kind of like Spanish is to Italian (Or maybe Italian to Sicilian?)
>>22 Thank you! I could be incorrect though, so I'm sorry if I am. Are you interested in Swedish/Norwegian or other European languages? I had a German class once, but I failed it. :(
>>14 Naturally blonde/blond? Nope. Many, though. There are plenty of people with brown hair too, here. There are a lot of blonde/blond people, but I'd guess two thirds of them are properly blond, the rest just color their hair. Though also people who are darkblond tend to color their hair lighter. Keep in mind that hair gets darker as one grows older, so while someone might have been born with blond hair, they might get darkblond or pale brown hair as an adult. That was the case with my youngest little sister, for instance. She had blond hair when she was little, but as she grew older it turned darker, and now it's light-brown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blonde#Relation_to_age_and_distribution_on_body > Blond hair is common in infants and children, so much so that the term > "baby blond" is often used for very light-colored hair. Babies may be > born with blond hair even among groups where adults rarely have blond > hair, although such natal hair usually falls out quickly. Blond hair > tends to turn darker with age, and many children born blond turn from > anything between a light brown to even black before or during their > teenage years.
>>26 I haven't taken the SATs yet (it would take a long time to explain my current situation) So you're right, I should prepare. n_n
It's kind of rude to ask about masturbational habits, but I'm clit all the way. (Most girls don't get off very easily through vaginal stimulation, but near all will through clitoral!) I don't usually use pornography or thoughts. I guess I'm kind of luck in that I don't need them!
(Though I do like pornography sometimes) If I am going to use imagination though, I usually go for Cunnilingus (oral).
>>18 Ah, no. Swedes, Norwegians and Danes can get their points across with each other, as our languages have a lot in common. Finnish on the other hand is from a very different language branch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_language >Finnish is a member of the Finno-Ugric >language family and is classified as an agglutinative language. It modifies the >forms of nouns, adjectives, pronouns, numerals and verbs depending on their roles >in the sentence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_languages
>>27 I know it's rude to ask you such a question. Plus I am in my thirties. I wouldn't ask you such a question if we were face to face. I can ask you because of anonymity here.
You'd call the police and I'd end up in jail! LOL Maybe I'd better be behind bar.
Old goat is going to take a night wall. See you around and nice masterbation life to you.
>>25 Make sure to relax for at least two days before exercising more like that?
>>28 It wasn't a problem. All don't turn brown-haired, but blond hair usually turns darker, though for most people it just becomes a darker shade of blonde. A lot of people get their hair in a different shade in the summer, not just blondes, though. A friend of mine, who's a quarter Japanese, her hair turns from dark brown to various reddish shades, if I recall correctly... My hair turns more red in the summer too, though not by much. See you (^-^)/~
>>41 I don't have a problem discussing such a topic with people who aren't going to leer at me for it, i.e. people who are going to be more serious about the topic, and not just use it as an excuse to go fwap. -_-;;;
I don't believe NK has the guts to wage war against America, because US army is one of the best in the world. However, when it comes to terrorists, it's a different story. If NK has nukes and sell them the nukes, then herrible things will happen. Terror with nuke is really threatening.
>>46 Strange? You're lucky, then. Either that, or you've just spent too little time at 2ch/similar. But yeah, don't let that stop you. We need more people being honest, lest others forget that it's not unnatural nor weird.
American people are not interested in NK having nukes. They are sure their arch enemies are Iran (and other anti-American countries), but NK wants to directly talk with America just to make sure it'll stop the financial sanctions. So this nuke problem would be resolved if Bush have a talk with Kim Jon Ill.
>>47 Oh, no, I've spent more than enough time at 4chan (and /b/ at that!) to get used to it. But when it comes to myself talking, I don't think of it. Kind of stupid on my part.
Most of the people I talk to online aren't shy about masturbation, so I've never thought of it as unnatural.
I heard North Korea was decided on having nuclear weapons when Bush referred to NK as the axis of evil. So it's all his fault NK is intimidating Japan with the ultimate weapon.
>>50 Ah. Wow. I used to spend a lot of time at 4chan, /b/ mostly. But that was a long time ago :-D I usually rarely spend more than five minutes at 4chan (read /b/) nowadays. I visit the place anything from once to three times a week. And it's not unnatural. It's just that some sadly think of it that way.
>>52 Oh? I don't think it was that little that made NK want to get nukes. I think they wanted to make it so that people couldn't just casually dismiss them, but have to pay attention to them.
>>54 Hair can appear almost anywhere and it is certainly not unusual for it to appear on the buttocks (particularly of men) or between the buttocks (on women) So. don't worry.
>>58 The next Republican representative may want nothing to do with what Bush has done. If his party loses, it's not really any hurt to him; he'll be out of office anyhow.
Even if the term limit weren't on, with his popularity as low as it is right now (30%?), I doubt he would get reelected.
>>56 You are right. The tepo-dong missile aimed at America was broken into pieces in the sky, but we can't rule out the possibilities they will develop good missiles one of these days.
Anyway, this NK's desire should be taken more seriously. I don't want to imagine terrorists have nuke weapons and use them, but it might happen if we leave NK as it is now.
>>54 You can always try to improve your English here. We can give you links to some resources, such as online dictionaries and literature-archives.
>>61 Hmm.. I don't quite know. I expect you're a lot safer posting it here than at /b/, but don't bother. ktan2ch, I think it was. Drop me a message ^^ I'll pop online. Though I have to go soon.
>>63 Okay :) I'm on as tangelogummies (not my main aim name, just for safety)
>>62 This is true. They want to be taken seriously (even though to much of the world they are a bit of a joke), and they will try to be taken seriously. Which is why we shouldn't leave them alone, right?
A Chinese dignitary have a big influence about this nuke problem. He flied to both America and Russia in order to discussed it before the UN decided on the resolution under article 7.
According to some report written by an American person, they suspect Japan might have nuclear weapons if NK's experimens continue to go under way. That's why America should pay attention to Japan, and make sure Japan is under the nuclear umbrella of America.
>>66 Such a theme will be worth discussing. Nuclear weapons shouldn't be used casually, but NK is one of the countries that may actually use them. It's really scary.
>>72 But it's entertaining to take some things literally sometimes. Like if someone states that they want to build a kite out of squirrels and fly it to the moon, it can be entertaining to discuss how to actually get the person to achieve hir goal.
>>70 In a sense, you have a point. America has been too busy paying attention to Iraq to notice what happened in Asia. But Bush did sort of good about financial sanctions on NK, which ironically made NK more resolute on having nuke weapons. It's a dillenma.
>>88 Yes, but it's fun to think "oh if he were real..." isn't it? It has to do with the show; a bunch of people start realizing they have "powers" He's just one of the many characters in it, and his power has to do with time.
>>89 But South Korea and North Korea were the same country. Watanabe Miki mentioned on TV that NK will not raid South Korea. Plus, if NK actually use nukes, the target will be Japan.
>>98 Nothing we can do about it while NK only tries to do it. And when NK attacks Japan, US will attack back instead of Japan under the Japan-US security treaty. But now that the US is busy with Iraq, japan shouldn't expect much from America. That's why even some of the people here (not including me) are insisting Japan should change some law in order that Japan can defend itself on their own.
Kim Jon Ill made it clear that NK won't conduct an additional nuke test. But I must say that he betrayed our trust many times. His word is not trustworthy.
>>105 Ack, I'm misremembering. It's North Korea with the third-largest standing army, not Japan. Japan has 239k, NK has 1100k. (That said, I imagine Japan would still beat NK silly. NK doesn't really have much in the way of resources or motivation, while Japan does.)
>>108 In this case, by "defending itself" I meant pre-emptive attacks. It was strictly banned by the Constitution of Japan. And I doubt you know who the prime minister of Japan now is, but prime minister Abe is known as a grand son of a former prime minister Kishi Nobusuke, who sent Japanese civic people to war, if I'm correct. I don't like war. So I don't feel it's a good idea to change laws easily. Some of the Japanese politicians take advantage of this problem.
>>122 No, he's the singer for Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Though Ooki Nobuo from ACIDMAN has a prettier voice than Masafumi. He has really pretty rolled r's.
I think everybody thinks the father of Sun's child is that bald guy. So naturally, he is not the father because it's too obvious.
By the way Sun picked up English really fast. I envy her intelligence. Now, she even understands what Jack or Chalie, or even Sawyer says To me, Sawyer's English is really difficult. English spoken in the South is too difficult..
No! Now that it came to light that Yukorin was tarnished by the idiotic comedian, she is not popular any more. But I really want to smell her fart, by the way. lol
>>125 I see. The funny thing is I don't know either of them! LOL But they must be quite goodlookng and popular in Japan because even a girl in the US knows them!
>>128 Yep. Her name was tarnished. She was thought to be a pure girl who's never dated boys, but her and her bf's photos were taken. She's not pure any more.
>>128 As you know, Yukorin's popularity used to be based upon her being virgin and mysteriously Korin planetary mysterious. Now that the wild sex orgy stories have come to light, she is tarnished.
North Korea won't do anything. What the North korean leadership fears most is its breakup. They are only concered about their safety If they go all out war, they are bound to lose. So they won't do it.
>>118 The Economist had a good article about Abe a few weeks ago, right after he became head of the LDP; it pointed out that (unlike Koizumi) Abe had no plans to go visit Yasukuni as the Prime Minister. I think that bodes well for him not wishing to go to war.
>>138 You don't know what kind of people have been supportive of her. She betrayed her fans. And you don't know how she acted in press conferences. She didn't even admit the scandal was true, nor did she mention it. All she did was pout and frown and make faces. Her bad image was unchangeable now.
>>140 Good point, merkin. We don't expect him to go to the shrine, at least until the next summer. He was put under the dillenma. America put pressure that his belief was dangerous and so Abe changed a bit. But some of his followers support him because he's right-winged. So he will show his true colour one of these days after he changes things as he want.
>Abe had no plans to go visit Yasukuni as the Prime Minister ???
really?? I think that's not true. Iit's just that he has no plan on saying publically whether he has visited it or not. If he actually goes, he won't tell it, because it is a private thing not to be disccused domestically or interenationally. That's his stance on this issue. Let's not make this an international problem, and move onto more imoportant things.
I was surprised to know there are still someone who gave any thought to what Gomaki is doing. People thought she had her breasts bigger by surgery. She's Un-natural, isn't she?
>>147 That's right. And I'm sure you know that NK is cunning enough. Kim Jon Ill and his followers know America couldn't actually attack NK just because they had a nuke test. One, Bush is being bashed in America because of Iraq war. Two, America is busy with dealing Iran and Iraq. And three, They know if democratic party of the US wins the next election, then America's attitude towards NK will change.
What NK is doing seems irrational, but at the same time it makes sense.
I dont think there is any countries around on the earth who would go to war with America...as long as they dont go totally pissed off. Well, north Korea seems to be very shrewd. They will exploit stupid Japanese politicians, perhaps. God, I hate Japanses educational system.
>>152 LOL you summerize them really good ! IMO, Masami Nagasawa is by far the prettiest girl on this planet. She is a good actor and sings very well. She should be the one to lead the entertainment industory in Japan.
>>154 Are you sure Masami sings? Anyway, yes, Masami looks cute, but somehow I can see through her. I can smell something nasty deep inside her heart she can't hide from my eyes. She knows very well she's really cute, how males think of her, and on top of that, she plays like a cute cat. So I guess many females are irritated to see Masami talking with male talents. She can charm most of them.
[Hypnosis] Hypnotic Seance, by Richard BerghHypnosis is a psychological condition in which some people may be induced to show various differences in behaviour and thinking. Although some individuals experience an increase in suggestibility and subjective feelings of an 'altered state of consciousness', this is not true for everyone. In fact, some supposed hypnotic indicators and subjective changes can be achieved without relaxation or a lengthy induction, a fact that increases the controversy around hypnosis. [Altered state of consciousness] An altered state of consciousness is any state which is significantly different from a normative waking beta wave state. The expression was coined by Carlos Castaneda and describes induced changes in one's mental state, almost always temporary. A synonymous phrase is "altered states of awareness". [Beta wave] Beta wave is the term used to designate the frequency range of brain activity above 12 Hz (12 transitions or cycles per second). Beta states are the states associated with normal waking consciousness. Low amplitude beta with multiple and varying frequencies is often associated with active, busy or anxious thinking and active concentration. Rhythmic beta with a dominant set of frequencies is associated with various pathologies and drug effects.
>>161 Zeppo Marx: Herbert Marx (February 25, 1901 – November 29, 1979) is best known as Zeppo Marx, the name he used when he performed with his brothers, The Marx Brothers.
gyppo: Derogatory form of Gypsy, a slang term for travelling people, usually of Romanian origin. They steal your pegs and try to sell you lucky heather.
Zeppo: One person in a group or gang that is either used, ignored, and/or stepped on quite frequently. Came into common use with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 3 Episode, "The Zeppo", in which it was highlighted that a particular member of a gang was simply the uncool one. This has various effects on how we use the word today. The word "Zeppo" is also used in reference to a person in a group who simply doesn't fit, be it because of their lack of coolness or other negative attributes.
lolz~ uh...*sigh* exam is just finished...but I am studying again.. but this time, I am enjoying because it's some translation about U.S. violent crime. I like these words; FBI, nonnegligent manslaughter(意図的な殺人) forcible rape(強姦),robbery(窃盗), aggravated assault offnses(加重暴行), etc... MUHAHAHA *evil laugh*
When I have some questions, I might come over here and ask one of the natives...may I? Thanks in advance! (^^)/~
Aso Taro, the minister of the foreign affairs department, got in contact with the President of South Korea, in order to tell him that Japan doesn't make South Korea participate in the financial sanction which is planed to be effective sooner or later. One reason why Aso was soft on SK was that he knows perfectly well SK is put in a difficult position: Under the name of the Sun policy, SK has given financial aid to NK, and done business in a joint effort to improve their relations.
Perhaps, Aso was right. If he asked South Korea for help in reference to this matter, some SK people would feel unindependent and stiffened, as a result of which SK took sides with NK. As Japanese people are irritated when America takes indirect control of Japan, we don't feel independent. That's why I think Aso's decision was right.
>>185 As I pointed out, South Korea is in difficult position. SK has powerfully and financially supported NK at least for 5 years. And in the meanwhile, Japan and South Korea has not been in friendly terms with each other.
If Japan tries to push SK hard, then it's obvious that some of the SK people( who don't like Japan) start to say "SK should act like an indepent country". I mean, no wonder SK might start to give NK financial aid. That's not the result Japan is asking for.
>.<.....just ignore my post...(I'm just talking to myself)
I am crying crying crying....really hard...(号泣) hidoiyo~~ he hurts me too much.. and never notice why he hurts me!! (but that was my fault...I had to concentrate on my study but instead...I called that boy and talked...) *dies for real*
It was so happy to have stayed with him last week...*sigh* (even it was only few telephone conversations...) I felt like heaven when I was with him on a telephone line.. But....but next day he suddely showed me his fake pictures with his gf one after another. That really broke my heart. And just now, he was nice but...he pretended as somebody else. That's ok...but I am so tired...to act like that anymore... I just want to be treated normal when I am in school...
>>184 太陽政策 is Sunshine Policy, not Sun polisy, I think. You love talking about politics, don't you. You are always talking about NK and all. What's so intersting about politics if I may ask?
>>193 means it is not exactly his real pictures. But kind of photoshoppped pics. I dunno. Maybe just for fun? He wanted to make me laugh or intentionally wanted to hurt my feeling....I never know.
>>193 >>195 NK nuke probrem is what is going on now. I don't talk that much of that kinds of topics though. Politics is not silly topics as much as Yukorin or Ketsuge burger.
To answer your question, however, talking about Politics is exchanging one's opinions about what the world should be like, how you want it to be. It's really interesting. Sometimes we are agreed on things, but as you know, it depends on people how to look things over.
>>209 Just because one person spoke bad about you doesn't mean everyone here is negative. You don't want to expect everyone to love you. But yes, you don't need to stay here when you don't want to. Bye for now.
What do you think she is doing now? Do you think she is in Tokushima now or went back to Osaka, her hometown? Do you think will employee of Sanyo electric company, ketsuge burger's boyfriend get married ti her?
>>216 Hey, I mean, there is always one thing people have to believe in, like, the water boils at 100 centigrade, you know what i mean? Well, I know now you understand what i mean, but let me tell you, why don't you believe in Jesus Christ?
I don't understand why you think school girl is ugly. She may not be beautiful, but she said she looked good. Gorgeous looking girls are sometimes nasty inside her shell, so I'd say school girl is not the kind. Why don't we see the bright side?
I don't think it's wise to talk about Ketsuge burger of all the topis we can choose from...lol Anyway, I think the fist thing she did after all the Ketsuge Burger breakout was to shave her Ketsuge LOL
>>287 Well, awesome, I learn something new everyday. I was asking yesterday what a "ketsuge burger" was (someone said they wanted a ketsuge burger), but no one said what it was.
Hey, I don't want Sarah more popular among people here. She's nasty!! Why don't we go back to school girl? She's cheerful and funny and humorous! Plus, her boobs are really appealing to us male posters!!
One man made a habit of taking advantages of Peer to peer software to exchange files which are more often than not illegal in the terms of copy right and porn movie files.
There are several viruses desigend for the p to p software. One of the virus is very vicious and if you are infected with it, all of the files including document files, movies files and image files on your hard disk are released into the P to p software's network.
The man who works for Sanyo electric, which is a multinational corporation and maybe Sarah have heard of the name tried to get an erotic anime game through the p to p network called "share." He did. But unfortunately the game file he got was infected with the virous and when he click on a file in the game file, all of his files stored in his hard drive are released in the p to p network.
>>326 Right now I only have a 20GB, an 80GB, and a laptop with a 30GB.
I have Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Ouran Koukou Host Bu (Ouran Highschool Host Club), NANA, Bartender (the 2nd episode airs soon, right?), Honey & Clover, and some of Eureka Seven.
The problem is on his hard drive, he had stored lots of photos of his girlfriend and himself traveling around Japan and photos where his girlfriend are doing blow job to him and photos where she show her pussy. What's called ketsugeburger photo was of course included. After all the girl's nick name comes form the photo that looks like a humbergur.
I said, all forms of his documents were spreaded into the p to p network. E-mail mmessages he had recieved and excel file of his company has spreat into the network.
From his e-mai, his real name and her girlfriend's name was known to everybody.
I don't know if sarah is popular here, but I'm sure how much school girl caught attention from males. Her contribution to the thread is awesome. So I'm still on school girl's side. She will show up again to amuse us!
Both the guy and his girlfriend happened to be members of Mixi, which is a social networking site boasting more than 600 million members, biggest of its kind in Japan.
In mixi, it's considered to be a good thing and recommended for members to reveal their real name.
One crazy man put her naked photo he had gotten through the p to p software in mixi for her friends to see.
That made it possible for her old friends in her schooldays and current friends to see her photo where she is doing blow jobs and the photo where she spread her legs naked and ketsuge burger photo.
What a tragedy. He and his girl friend soon deleted their accounts of mixi and dessapeared into thin air and we now have know idea what they are doing now.
Thie real name and where they work and the name of their alma mater and all personal information imaginable were open to public because of the p to p share and Mixi...
>>347 Not to worry. I don't know who they are, what her ketsuge is like, and the photo is not available online! So time can make people forget this incident.
>>348 I hope so but the reality is that we can get the photos of her even in 2ch. More often than not, her photos were shared with 2 channelers by uploading her photos to various uploader on the Internet.
>>352 I use 2ch, but I didn't know about the incident and I don't know how to learn about their names. So only a part of 2ch and mixi users know it. They won't kill themselves for this. Perhaps, however, they are likely to break up.
like the 911 terror attacks or holocaust or Atomic bombs in hirosima and Nagasaki or NangKing genocide there are things that must not be forgotten . ketsuge burger is one of them
>>358 I don't even know what the ketsuge burger is like and what their names are. And many Japanese women's naked pictures are uploaded online so this ketsuge girl will not remembered. She's just one of them.
>>338 Sorry I missed your message. I don't do p to p network but I got those photos including ketsuge burger shot. I love erotic photos but I don't store erotic movie or erotic photos on my PC. So I deleted all of them after I saw them
>>338 Sorry again, my post 337 doesn't answer your question completely.
>How does it look? Beautiful?
To be frank, She is my type. I couldn't believe a girl like her spread her legs naked and all. But as for the Ketsugeburger photo, it didn't look beautiful.
I think she was kind of forced to be shot naked by his boyfriend and there's a possibility she didn't know he had stored her naked photo. なぜなら、彼女のえろ写真だけが隠しファイル扱いになってたらしいから。
>>373 Thanks for the precise info! So she's cute.. You tincled my interest. I take it from what you said she's twenty or something. Well, I feel sorry for her, but at the same time I want to see the photos. What a bad guy I am.
>>374 She is cute on my standard but some who saw her doesn't think she is. She graduated from MA coruse and has just started working isince this spring so she is around 24.
>Well, I feel sorry for her, but at the same time I want to see the photos. What a bad guy I am.
I know how you feel and you are not bad at all. That's what man is all about.
>>386 I think he was trying to take a pic of his girlfriend + scenery. We were at a particularly scenic part of the transit route, but I just happened to be in the way and ruined his shot.
>>387 Thax, and although I'm not 379, I might as well try to answer your questions. To be honest, I don't know of any derogative terms for 'whites' in Japanese, and 'blue-eyes' is never a derogative term either. I thought people usually admire 'blue-eyes' in any country. Sorry for the boring answers, couldn't come up with any punch line~~
>>389 That's what some people, especially foreigners in Japan say, and they get offended when Japanese say 'Gaijin', but is the term really derogatory? I think it depends very much on 'how' you say it, is it not?
>>332 Umm.. But that site isn't anything you should believe, you know... It's a parody wiki, not an actual wiki... It's got some brilliant joke pages here and there.. but yeah...
>>391 Gaijin means "outside person", or "outsider". That's why foreigners in Japan hate this term. Some of them, especially who are seriously studying Japanese culture, hate it because they want to be accepted and assimilated into Japanese people.
>>397 Not yet. But I guess it's inevitable that I will learn Japanese properly in the future, as my boyfriend's studying Japanese and might want to move to Japan for a longer period of time in a decade or so.
>>400 IMHO, Gaikoku-jin literally means a foreigner, and I don't see it as a derogatory form. This page explains the words gaikokujin and gaijin in detail.
>>398 What you mentioned make them misunderstanding. Gaijin doesn't mean "outside person", or "outsider". It's not even like nigger or jap. We could say Gaijin-san. It sounds very friendry.
>>400 Then what should we use the term for foeigners?
>>403 My beloved, my angel, my boyfriend, my significan other, my fiancé - whatever really. He's still as lovely regardless of which label I'd refer to him with ^-^
In Canada, Asians who learn English and properly integrate into society are well accepted... as for the others, we label them ignorant FOBs (Fresh Off the Boat)
>>404 Gaijin-san only sounds friendly if people don't have a better word for you, i.e. if they know you that little that your visual aspect is all they know about you. Wouldn't it be more polite to refer to someone who one knows under a profession or similar by their profession or name, rather than the non-ethnical Japanese look of theirs? I don't really know, but the impression I've gotten is that such usage is what many object to (as well?). But yeah, that's just my opinion (as opposed to people who want the word gaijin banned or something). I don't really mind it, as long as it's not used to overshadow more important features about a person.
>>408 And I'm not too sure about what you're still asking O.o;; I'm in a serious longterm (longdistance at the moment) relationship, I usually refer to him as my boyfriend or my S.O. (Significan Other).
>>407 I see I wouldn't be happy either if my friend who I knows call me foreigner. It's like that. It doesn't mean any discrimination when Japanese people say Gaijin to foreigner.
>>411 Yeah, some foreigners over-react when they are called Gaijin, but as someone already mentioned, the term Gaijin is very different from Jap or Nigger etc.
>>410 He didn't really propose. We've more of discussed the topic on many occasions and decided that we want to get married once we actually live together (as opposed to living in different countries). Nothing fancy, just indefinitely engaged. No rings or anything at this point, because it would feel rather silly to do something like that before being able to set an actual wedding date. Though we'll probably do something to celebrate once we live together. ^-^ Not sure on how the symbolic proposing would go, apart from being pretty amusing and cute. We're not really oldfashioned in that aspect either, so who gets to do the honors isn't really decided. Nor if we're actually going to have one of us do that, maybe we'd just celebrate. I don't really know, we haven't bothered discussing the specifics at this point, as we're not likely to get married for at least three if not five-six years (both of us are studying at universities, and I won't be done with my education for five years or so, and he somewhere around the same or more, depending on what he decides to do later).
>>417 It's okay though :-D We have it good, so our lives don't have to be constantly romantic ^-^ I already have more than enough romantic memories to last me a decade the least.. xD Besides, sadly long-distance relationships ensure that one has to plan well and not rigidly if one really wants the whole thing to last.
Hi all. Erm being a forienger I wanna know whether it will be lots of considerations if I want to marry a Japanese girl. In my region the girls are just too bad.
>>424 Na, something more practical. Being a forienger in Japan may not have the life as good as the native has. If my wife don't wanna move out, I have to consider this. I need to understand the situation before something further.
>>431 Na, somewhere just nearby you. Hong Kong. I've made a visit to Sapporo 2 years ago. That place is really good for living: fresh air, cool summer, low density, and a slow pace of life. I've considered moving to there for study and work, but since the situation is totally blur in my mind, I've abandoned that. I have no more fantasy on Hong Kong girls, they are just too arrogant. Maybe I'm not good enough to reach their requirement, but they are not very good comparing with girls in nearby region. Chatting with you guys may bring me a clearer picture.
>>413 oh I see... well I hope for the best for you two (but cmon you know you want him down on one knee proposing with a ring that better be damn expensive and fancy)
>>431 yeah lots of cute Japanese girls here in west canada, just how to hook up with them I have no clue
>>434 I don't really think chatting with us help you to find Japanese girl friend. This chatting room is polluted by freakin' school dude(mostly guy). Any way, Sapporo is nice place to live.
Anyone here watched the drama <<たった一つの恋>>? Hong Kong girls are just like the rich bitches in the club, except having the wealth. BTW Ayase Haruka looks really 萌え inside.
>>446 Ayase Haruka's popularity has gone down the drain. Dramas with her in them are always boring and record low ratings. She has a problem with acting.
You should watch ones with Masami Nagasawa in them. Her acting is really convincing.
>>448 I'm watching the new drama <<Sailor Suit and Machine Gun>>. Masami acts real cool. I like the Aki act by her in <<Cries for Love in the Centre of the World>>. Well, I can't make a comment on her performance in the new drama yet, but I'm looking forward to that.
Haruka's drama? Honestly, I watch Haruka's drama for watching Haruka's only. The story is too typical.
I like the look of some Japanese guys, but I don't think I'd want to have a relationship/get married with one. I've heard bad things about the way Japanese/other Asian men treat women. Any truth to it?
>>451 That's the one. I haven't watch the drama version too. At the time that it announced, I thought Haruka can't act.
Well in Asia things are changing. Female's position are just going balance with male's. Coming along with the equal education opportunity, Female are having the ability that male had in the past in the society.
The traditional "man-dom" may still exist, but reducing. Try making a Japanese boy friend and you may feel that.
Japanese girls are no longer innocent like they used to be. Sure they look more innocent than American girls, but actually they are not. Asian women now are getting stronger.
>>455 Hahah, American women don't have pure minds at all.
>>454 None around here! I would love to find a cute skinny asian boy who wears glasses (I like glasses), but it's kind of hard when there aren't any around.
But white guys are good too, and there's more of them.
I understand what you mean about men and women becoming more and more equal. It's a good thing! Do you know what the term "glass-ceiling" means?
>>457 I didn't use a peer to peer software to get it :)
As for other shows that I've watched (anime and such), as long as it's not licensed in the US it's legal for people to sub the shows in English and send them out through peer to peer clients for people to download.
>>464 Well, there is a difference between Chinese bootlegging and America's piracy. In piracy, the creator is usually credited and given for free. With bootlegging, you have to pay for it. That said, I have bought a few things that were bootlegged.
Grass seiling is kind of like a barrier in corporate ladder. Companys declair on surface employees have the same opprtunity to promote but in reality, there is a unequality between male and female employees.
Grass is transparent and there seems to be no ceiling above but actually there is a ceiling or barrier that prevent women from promoting in a company.
>>465 Mmm, here's a scenario: A woman is a good employee in a company, she works hard and she gets promoted a few times, and she continues working hard to continue getting promoted. Instead of continuing to be promoted, she's kept where she's at, and people (male) who don't work as hard as she does get promoted instead of her.
>>470 You are right. I made a typical mistake common among Japanese English learners. Shame on me. :(
But as for explanation about glass ceiling, mine is a little bit better if you ignore few grammatical mistakes in my writing. hahaha. I am being arrogant.
>>466 ah! i get your point.. money-making pourpose vs private enjoyment! you are wise!
I think piracy in japan is no different than in any other place. and mostly for private purpose.
Winny or Share has caused alot of leaking problems. A lot of confidential lists or docments are being circulated throught those P2P networks even right now. You can get bunch of them if you want to take a look. Stupid government officials use those softwares without fundamental knowledge of the interenet and get virus that do the uploading. But they rarely get fired. Bearoucracy is very rigid in Japan. They don't easily admit mistakes.
>>480 M-flo. I love Lisa's vocal, and their Soul X HipHop fusion. Too bad they dismissed. Recently I like Hirai Ken and Hitoto You. Their songs really touches me. I don't like Cantonese POP. Holy crap in terms of lyrics, melodies and the singers.
Ketsuge is easily pulled off and it's qutie painless. Important thing to remember is do it quickly. Do it on the spur of the moment. And yours can be as good as baby's
By the way, I wonder if some of the lines of the song is incorrect: "whenever sang my song...". I didn't have any interest in what the lyric say back then, but now that I've studied a little English, I want to ask, "who sang your song?".
http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/f/fayewong/eyes.htm Whenever sang my songs On the stage, on my own Whenever said my words Wishing they would be heard I saw you smiling at me Was it real or just my fantasy You'd always be there in the corner Of this tiny little bar
>>487 Well, you may discover some very familiar melody from CantoPop that you've listened from Western or Japanese music, but the "author" is a Chinese. Just go fuck those artist who cry for piracy while they are plagiarizing somebody.
What the fuck ??? or Who the fuck are you? or How the fuck things come to this?? Those phrases are rythmic with "fuck" in them. Without fuck, they are lame.
>>495 Of course, it does. But again, I wonder if you could drop the subject "I" like this. Doesn't "Whenever singing my songs" make sense? That said, the song sounds really melodious. I like it.
Whenever I play tennis, I seem to get my butt handed to me if I'm up early and pull out victories when I start behind. I think I ease off and get cocky
I used to listen to lots of Shibuya-kei sorts of music (Pizzicato 5, Fantastic Plastic Machine) and their predecessors (The Polysics, The Plastics, etc), but I've gotten out of touch with what's current. What Japanese music is new and interesting? And not just boring idol stuff?
7 o'clock, I opend my eyes, looked at clock, and closed my eyes. 10 o'clock, I tryed to wake up, and failed. 11:15, I woke up and had breakfast in my dream. 10 mins ago, I woke up actually, and now writing this. What a waste of precious 5.5 hours of my youth!!
>>513 Learning the basics (grammar, vocab. etc.) is important for communicating through the language sensiblly. Now that you have the basics, all you have to do is use them. In other words, your 6 years have not been a waste at all.
>>511 No, not the pop charts; much of the current pop (the little I've head) sounds all the same. I want to hear the more interesting music that's around right now.
The entry of October 19, 2006 might give you a hint. I have only given it a rough read and don't know how informative enough it is though. But it is something about Shibuya-kei
>>436 O.o;;; Actually, no. It would not make me feel happy to get a bloody expensive ring. It would feel too wasteful. A simply nice ring is more than good enough. The cash left over from that would be better invested in many other things. Like the future. Besides, I'm not too fond of rings, I'm likely to wear an engagement ring on a necklace. So who knows, maybe we'll get engagement braclets or necklaces instead? I liked his suggestion for wedding rings (titanium) because that ups the chances of me being able to put up with wearing a ring for a long amount of time :-D (no, I'm not allergic to anything as far as I know.)
>>541>>542 I am? I live in Japan? News to me... Especially since I can't speak Japanese... Should I speak Swedish at you until you change your mind? xD Det kan vara värt att försöka...
>>544 Um. What's fusianasan? I think someone mentioned that word many threads ago. But I don't really remember what it was :-( Why would I want to use that as name, though?
>>563 Well, I'm grateful to those who've give suggestions. (I wouldn't call much of what's been suggested shibuya-kei, though, unless the meaning has changed since I was last keeping up with it, five or six years ago. I could well be confused, however.)
>>557 Ah, no, I was trying to find some help for momo :-/ I'm not too keen on downloading a lot of random programs, so I was trying to find a server-hosted version running. Alas I didn't find any.
>>573 I don't know why you insist. This is online that has no border. You can find foreigner anywhere in Japan. Japanese are everywhere in the world. Get out of countryside.
The night is long.You can call me if you change your mind. I believe you will want to cook my cock tonight!! I'm looking fowerd to taste what you will cook for me!!
I love this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azSD6itEvTs The singer Hansi Kirsch (from Blind Guardian) is awesome. What would a native speaker of English think of his pronunciation?
"Harvest Of Sorrow"
She is gone Leaves are falling down The tear maiden will not return The seal of oblivion is broken And a pure love's been turned into sin At the dawn of our living time Hope may cover all cries Truth lurks hidden in the shadows Dreams might be filled with lies Soon there will be light Pain remains inside Suddenly it seemed so clear All the blindness was taken away She closed her eyes And she called out my name She was never ever seen again
[Chorus] Harvest of Sorrow Your seed is grown In a frozen world full of cries When the ray of life shrinks Shall cold winter nights begin
I-ve been dreaming all these days. I-ve been aching all these days to try to find a way to stop. I-ve been waiting all these days. I-ve been standing all these days to find it hard to get it through. All I want is a good chance for we can live underground. All I need is a sharp knife to cut the tails you are afraid to show All I hear is your endless speech to stuff my ears again and again. All I dream is a wonderful place for I can build myself a world. Dream in a wishful way Dream in a wishful way
if someone causes your lover to cry for some reason , What is the right things to do as her boyfriend ? I 'd like to kill the culpit who caused her tearing regardless of whether she would like me to do or not . I want revenge for hersake or mysake .For being born man, there are several times in our life time when you should rise up and throw yourself into the noble fight againt what you think is wrong .
>>691 Violence helps nothing at all, dude. Try understand the real situation first. You may find a more intelligent way to solve that. Being a boyfriend, your girlfriend need your support.
>>692 That's just what I feel too. Adult world is filled with hypocrites and fakeness. Competition is something good for the world, but fakeness does not. I'm 22 now and having the last year of university study. After this 2 semesters, my childhood should be gone... I missed my happinesss in the pass, which may never come back.
he told me that I am useless she told me my face mades her mad but I am still here doing nothing and I feel empty waiting for someone to hold me I know nobody is coming he told me to die she told me to see nothing
>>697 Get a cold water shower to chill yourself first. (I don't recommend beer.) If you screw yourself into the dead corner, you will be screwed forever. Try find a new point of view in the incident, you may feel better. I'm not familiar with what sort of stuff happened on you, but I hope my words can help you a bit.
>>703 \o/ Mondays are like mornings; a new beginning - a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, things will be better this week than they were on the last.
