so... er... how do I write that? Is there a character for "doko"? is it 行け or 行けえ? Can you even read that? I know I can't, it's a blank on my screen.

I can't help you, but I can encourage you. Especially if you tell people it actually says something entirely different. The joys of people wearing 'Fuck You!' shirts when they think it says 'Strength' or 'Something Japanese and Cool that makes Me, the Wearer, Cooler for it.'

No native Japanese speakers, but at least three, maybe four people whose Japanese is a world of university study better than mine. I can manage the broken conversation, they can manage the unreadable writing.

heyhey!

i'm way a Tom. it's good to see you. read my journal. i say reel funny shit about viggo and chocolate which was basically a story for sean's benefit despite the fact that i don't think i he knows i exist at least not in the lj sense..

also, i have near future planz to kill my readers dead, with an utter refusal to use punctuation. caps are a fad i’ve never bought in to.. comma’s are next..

+hi matcha, i found a bra in my t-shirt drawer, and i think it might be yours.

I'd like to own one of those teeshirts. They sell them on J-list, they say "looking for a Japanese girlfriend", which they would read as "I'm a pervert! Me! A pervert! Right here, baby!"

Still, it's nice to know it goes both ways. I'll just muck up the kanji then. :)
