ah, I see! That's really cool. It's great that you take your writing in more of a positive direction. I can imagine how uplifting it must be. Do you post it anywhere by chance? I'd love to check out your poems if you don't mind. ^_^ Sometimes it's healthy to write about the negative things just to get it out of your system but I can see the down side to it because it can have am uncomfortable effect. I wish you luck on learning! Is there a language barrier between the two of you? Don't hesitate to ask me for help, i'm not the greatest but I promise to do my best! True, I'll learn in time, I just choose to take it very slooooooow with the kanji... I'll avoid it as long as I can! XD

mmhmm! It's always fun to learn something new although at times it can me difficult never give up! It's always great to have an escape from the many stressful situations life has to throw at you. hmm, what exactly do you write? You have a good point about softer tones, That boosted my confidence, thanks for that! That's so cool! ^w^ For me, Romaji fairly easy, i stumble on my words at times but what fun is learning if there isn't a challenge involved? umm, but in general it took about 3 months to get down the basics and pronunciation, pronouncing can be a bit confusing but I think i'v got it down! XD I also know all of my Hiragana characters. I study a lot. >.< If you've got the determination I'm sure you could pick up easily. I'd be more than happy to teach or provide you with tips! All you have to do is ask. =) WHat intimidates me is katakana and Kanji! O_O there are sooo many characters and the strokes confuse me to no end! I think I'll stay away from that until I feel prepared. >.<; I would love to see how I would fare in Japan. It would really test my knowledge, I wonder if i could get by easily or not. I too would love to visit Japan and hope to one day. I apologize for rambling so much.

Well, what if making someone truly happy meant you had to be apart of the equation? (: I've never heard that song by Lights, but ill check it out! I just got off a six an a half hour shift X.X so I think I might just listen to some music n_n As for piano, I really hope so! I want to try and play again, but I would need to buy a piano... Or get another keyboard or something :S I don't know if I'm an angel, but thank you :) like I keep on repeating you're really sweet. I don't find you awkward either, in fact I think you're really awesome n_n your poems are lovely, and I love reading them. What's your favourite romance anime?

O_O oh my, well you have to start somewhere! with enough time and determination you'll master it for sure! The guitar can be a challenge so I commend you! What made you want to play in the first place? I'm just cuirous. ^_^ Ah, you're totally right, I really appreciate the advice and encouragement, it's very inspiring! ^_^ I definitely need to work on my self confidence. I'll try my best! kyaaa, my tone is sooo soft... Maybe I'm afraid of singing out. I have a LOT that I need to work on but I'm not helping by tearing myself apart. I know I have my flaws but everyone does and that's what makes us human. I always take something positive away from my mistakes, it's just a learning experience. O_O aweh, thanks sooo much for the compliments! I really put my all into that cover, it's in a lower key so I had a difficult time. I also had to step up my game because it's an english song which means no romaji lyrics to focus on. I had to sing as well in english as I do in Japanese it was hard but i'm sort of pleased with how it turned out. XD I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to check it out, I really appreciate it. ^_^

My hobbies? I don't have many these days since I work 5 days a week. But I love writing and roleplaying online with friends. That's my stress relief. Writing out a story with another person just makes me smile and its so much better when you are good friends with the other person. But I also love japanese music and am planning on memorizing the song anti nostalgic from the anime gravitation. Such a sad sounding song makes me want to cry every time! Ah but I also love my conventions and cosplaying at them. It makes me feel so alive to join the cosplay community and when I wear the costume it makes me giddy hahaha ^__^ im very much into poetry and other arts too. Im going to be taking a ceramics class starting Wednesday so im stoked at going to get my hands dirty with clay! -squeal- ^w^ maybe we can do a poetry swap sometime. Id love to read your work and see your skill and im always up for sharing mine.

Aw, well I'm happy you feel that way :) when I make other people happy I feel very happy as well, just like you! I think you are something special! That's why I'm so eager and excited to talk to you n_n! You're so sweet, and I love how your so open and just the way you express your thoughts. Thank you for the compliments :) I'm sure you are pretty good, and if you can keep practicing you'll be even better. I like every genre of music...well except for like country XD I like some anime music too, from the openings of my favourite shows and of course Miku Hatsune ^_^ I'm flattered youre willingly to play for me, that means a lot, Shogo :) a song I really like from an Naruto is a song called Bluebird. Its kinda sad, but I like it. I also like Follow you into the Dark by DeathCabForCutie ^.^ I used to play piano for about four years, I gueess I was alright at it XD I stopped taking lessons after I hit like the age of 13 and I haven't played ever since. In fact, I think I've forgotten :( but, I always wanted to learn how to play that Blue Bird song on the piano because I thought it was so beautiful n_n Ahh, you really are such a sweetheart. (:

That was beautiful and just adorable :') like I don't even know what to say! Thank you so much for that lovely poem, it made me smile :) Ahh! You are so awesome, I wish I could write poetry like you! You really touch my heart, Shogo n_n I guess I never really asked you, but you play guitar It seems XD what kind of music are you into?

No I sadly don't play any instruments. I suck at music unless its my voice. I love singing but I personally don't think im very good but everyone thinks that of themselves. I bet your pretty good on the guitar though. I've heard of that song though I never played the game. That would be awesome. My friend from school when I used to go could play a zelda son on his cell phone with the keys. It was awesome lol. And I see from your convorsations with other people (cause im a stalker like that) that you write poetry? I dabble in poetry and writing too~ id love to read some of your writing.

ah, i understand. How long have you been playing? Everything takes practice, I'm sure you'll improve to meet your own standards but hey, as long as you have fun with it that's all that really matters in the end right? ah, i know that feeling! It takes a LOT to sing in front of people. I prefer singing with my mic staring at a screen, not a live audience! >///< I... signed up for the talent show at my local convention and backed out last minute... My goal is to work up the courage to be able to perform in front of others but so far I fail! ^w^ ah, would you like a link to my channel? warning: this may cause your ears to bleed! >.<; http://www.youtube.com/user/lunarflower54#p/u/1/OXOaMMq0Kto Also, thank you... I had that mic for a good two years, it was very expensive at the time but I found the same exact brand and model for so much cheaper, it was an instant buy. I'm afraid of change... I know the quality of the one I had, since microphones are pre-packaged they're impossible to test out, the thought of buying something that would sound worse terrified me...

I'm proud of you too. Even though your older sibs followed your familys beliefs, you still had the courage to take your own path and follow your own beliefs which requires tremendous strength. Ahaha! Thank you n_n you sound very kind as well! And I think that's another reason I was drawn to talk to you. I'm trying to be more kind and accepting now because I grew up around friends who were very superficial... Focused on looks, and what not. I learned from my mistakes in the past and try my best to be as open minded and kind as possible. I'm glad you think so as well :) Thanks for listening to me as well. Opening up to people can be so hard sometimes and it makes me so happy that you felt comfortable enough to talk to me like this :) Haha, well my name is Selina n__n it means like moon or something in Greek. Its nice to meet you too, Shogo! :D that's adorable that you and your siblings have rhyming names! My name is the odd one out in my family...as my two younger siblings have names of Sanskrit/Indian origin. My brother name is Ajay, and my sister is named Sapna. :) You are a great person. I can tell. I like to think I'm a good judge of character n__n and I'm so happy to have met you as well Shogo! Ill always listen to what you have to say as well.
