via Clients from Hell, one I can identify with:
Client: You see where you have a full stop at the end of the first sentence?
Me: Yes.
Client: Can you change it to a comma?
Me: Er, well I can, but you should put a full stop at the end of a sentence.
Client: Oh, that grammar stuff is very old fashioned.

most of the pictures i post don’t really show faces, because i feel creepy posting them.
Creepier: I often catch myself thinking that they’re pictures of you, because there’s never a face.

this is how I feel about "Merry Christmas"/"Happy...
I celebrate Christmas.
I want it to be happy for everybody, whether they celebrate it or not.
My inner dialogue is like this.
me: Merry Christmas!
someone else: Oh, but I don’t celebrate Christmas.
me: Oh, okay. I hope the day goes well for you anyway!
That’s all I’m saying.

BUT I WANT TO STOP. It’s from before tumblr gave you that option, and I remember you could customize what it prefaced the tweets with. But it’s SO MUCH MESSIER than tumblr’s native option, which I CANNOT USE because then it double-tweets.
Do you know what I’m talking about?

もう、日本に帰らせて下さいよ。
今のところは、しばらくの間はアメリカに住んでいてもかまわないと思っているのでアメリカでの仕事を探しますが、それでいいとしても日本に帰りたいという気持ちは中々納められないのです。春休みでも・・・と思っていたら、やっぱりそれは卒業論文に夢中でないとならないし、そんなお金を持っているわけもないし。
ただ、この、遊びに行きたいという気持ちは初めてで、このこの前は「行きたい」と思ったらつまり「住みたい」ということだったのです。でけど遊びに行ったってどこで何をすればいいか全然分かりません。この前行ったら、毎日の生活をを送っていただけです。

“アスカ、頼んだぞ。”
– 昨日、日本語能力試験を受けたんですけど、聴解の最後の問題がアニメからのものみたいで、ただの訓練中の女子がそう言われたら、隊長に「そう言ってるところじゃない！」と、「アスカ！待て！」に何も聞かないでヒールがとんとんとなって走って行ったと、隊長が静かな声で、こう言いました。
『誰が、何で、行きましたか？いち：隊長が、ゼロ号で、行きました。に：隊長が、四号で、行きました。さん：女の人が、ゼロ号で、行きました・・・・・・』

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I wear contacts when I work out.
…actually, it’s just because glasses want to fall off. Also because I wear contacts most of the time anyway.

My confession is: I know that this is true, and sometimes I am afraid that not wanting to let time go by being sad will keep me from something good at the other end.
