/sigh
I'm so angry right now. I want to just cry. I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to start a convo in Japanese. and If another person says "konichiwa, ogenki desu ka." Im going to punch them in the face.
So I go to study. And I started with hiragana review but since just looking at flash cards doesn't help me much and writing them out helps more and using them in actual words and sentences helps more....I decided I come up with a conversation that was simple between two people who have known each other for ever so I don't have to worry about honorific polite forms and crap. I had a friend write me up a casual, normal conversation between two people because I would just write something I already know that goes along the lines of
Ohayou gozaimasu~
Ohayou~
Nihon ga suki desu, ne~
Sou desu ne~
BubbleTea o nomitai desu~
Sou desu ne~
/headdesk
So Cha came up with one and like every conversation in English. It started with "Hey, how are you?"
A few days ago I went over something in my work book that said "Ogenki desu ka" is only used when you haven't seen a person for a while. I then spent forever trying to figure out how Japanese start converstations. I've read that they don't even ask how the other person is doing in a normal convo... I'm so white I can't imagine starting a convo any other way other than OMG GACKT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It actually annoys me, personally, when someone doesn't say hi or ask how I am before launching into whatever shit they have on their mind (unless of course they are super excited about something then its completely okay)
Anyway. Every site I went to only talked about how to start a conversation with someone you're meeting for the first time. Maybe just a simple Hi is enough and you can move on with the convo from there. Which is what I'm going to do for this 'exercise' now.
I guess I'm just really tired.
I've started another project. I said a while ago there were a lot of things I wanted to change in my life. I'm rolling out these changes over time. And this is retardedly embarrassing to say. Maybe I shouldn't admit it out loud? But I think if I don't and if I don't share this with someone even if its in a blog that like no one will read... I won't stick to my project(s). So, since I've been unemployed I've fallen into this habit of going to bed later and later (8 am was the latest) and getting up later and later (4 pm was the latest) but on average go to bed around 5 am and get up around 2 pm. Its horrible I know, so I'm trying to change that. I've been trying for a while with no success. I'd make it a week of getting up at 9am or 10am and then I'd just not go to bed for whatever reason one night 'till 6/7 am and boom! start the whole horrible cycle over. So I had stole an idea from Gackt an idea... I'm cutting myself off from Bubble tea. ( I LOVE BUBBLETEA D: ) Once I hit 30 consecutive days of getting up at 10 am I can have bubble tea again. IF I FAIL I'm going to punish myself by not eating sushi or having bubble tea. IF I FAIL a second time... No Gackt. for a month. THAT will really make me do it. Its funny. This kind of thing I CAN make myself do. I just cant make myself go to bed at a decent effing time if I don't have a reason to be awake early. /sigh.
So I'm on day 2 of P GTFU (get the f@&# up) and I'm so tired but my body just needs to adjust.
Whatever. Gonna go to bed earlier today
