I did it!

[brightlyiburn]

Ohmigod
I must be out of my mind.
Today I went to the hardware store for a knife...and to see the cute guy who dropped out of my Japanese class. I only knew he worked there due to dumb luck, but I'll take what I can get.
So I went up to him and asked him why he didn't come to class. He told me he was falling behind. I asked him if he wanted to learn and when he said yes, I told him I'd teach him.
Well, he didn't say no. Apparently he's in the drama department...he's got a play that takes up his time. But he did take my phone number, which is a good sign. Now whether or not he'll call me...
I am so looking into that play now!
God...in 19 years of life, I don't think I've ever done anything so bold.

It takes a lot of guts to buy a knife from a hardware store.

Or did you mean teaching Japanese?

 

[impressive]

More power to ya, BIB. Good luck.

 

[Belegon]

proud of you brightly...regardless of outcome, you have helped yourself already...

 

[Lisa Denton]

Knives, sex, japanese, hardware, drama. I can see no good coming from this, perhaps even bi-lingual danger, but if it can turn out good I hope it does for you.

Just add Hikikimori, and you have a reasonable thriller plot.

 

[Liar]

Well, he didn't say no.

Could you carrying a knife have anything to do with it?

Just kidding, kiddo. Best of luck.

We'll see, won't we. Official letter can take upto, well, I guess months.

 

[gauchecritic]

"I'd like to buy a knife please."

"Certainly. Does modom have one in mind?"

"Yes. That one there. The 14 inch Bowie."

"There we are modom. How does that feel?"

"Oh that's wonderful." Holds knife to boys throat. "Now gimme your phone number."


Good plan.

 

[Guest]

Good plan.

Con-trite?

Was that my cheerleading I heard in the background?

An x-acto knife, Liar. A packaged, retractable x-acto knife.

I also now know that he's in the theater club. Which is kinda cool cause I didn't know there was a theater club. I love watching plays, though. I'll have to check it out. See if they're any good.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Well done, Bright. Best of luck with the lad - don't break him on the first night out

PMSL@ some of the replies in here lol

Good for you brightly.

 

[brightlyiburn]

I forgot to mention, my success carried over to art class.
With the exception of another gross middle-aged male model (not a single one of these guys even tries to keep his cholesteral down!) it went really good. I got the positioning, portions, and foreshortening down really good. And my perspective was near perfect. I actually got a ton of compliments from the teacher. It was like: cause art teachers seem to despise giving out praise.
So all in all, good day. Now if only my head would stop buzzing.

 

[My I]

Could be the swelling. But I'm not a doctor.

 

[minsue]

Way to go, Brightly!

 

[cantdog]

I am happy for you.

 

[yui]

Luck, brightly. Remember to not to trill the "r" and stay away from romaji!

 

[Shadowskill Knight]

Good Luck Brightly!!

Way to go, Bright. If more women took more initiative, everybody would be better off.

I totally agree! Well done, BIB!

You're an incurable romantic, and that's a certifiable good thing.

Turning Japanese
(by the Vapors)

(It's actually a paean to masturbation, but it'll do...)

I got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit here staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I have to kiss you when there's no one else around

I got your picture, I got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
and turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

I got your picture, I got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
and turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a Psyclone Ranger
Everyone

That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so...

I have no choice about the romaji. Our cirriculum is spoken Japanese, so we're not allowed to learn how to read it.
