This conversation is how bwahahahaha. But yeah I don't think you'd get in trouble if you gave the money you made to charity. Those invisible children never get enough money.

I like Japanese because it makes me seem unapproachable. My wife thinks I'm a exotic sex machine who can get any girl or guy I want. So learning, speaking and reading Japanese in public makes her pre...

If you play a instrument you'd understand your mouth is an instrument. So what Cranks is saying you wont be Jimmy Page (or whoever you admire) with your mouth without listening.

Japanese is like a sexy girlfriend or boyfriend who has ADD you have to be interesting (smart=studying) to stay in love.

I suggest fasting alone for a couple days. Really gives me peace of mind. Thus a chance for happiness and knowing one's limits. People and food give me mixed emotions.

After reading this, I've decided to grade myself harder. I feel I've been lenient on myself and decided to look at it from someone else's perspective. Thanks again Dustin.

I've noticed I'm passively writing kanji in a kind of cursive (without lifting the pen from paper in some parts). Should I stop myself from doing this?
