Before you read this, I just wanted to say that I'm not trying to come off as someone who's creeply excited about Japan. It's just something that really does catch my eye in the sense that I want to be able to experience something new in my life. Sure, America is great, but I just want to be able to start fresh with a culture that I believe to be an amazing one.
I'm REALLY interested in Japan and everything it has to offer. The language, the country, the spelling, everything! I'm trying to make friends from/in Japan and as well every where else, but I've had no luck because I'm not really a sociable person. I really hope I can meet someone on here though! One of my goals is to one day move from America to Japan and study there.
I really am just a beginner of learning Japanese. I'm trying to self teach it to myself, because like I said before, I'm not a sociable person and I don't really know if I could take classes for it. I am trying though! It would help me a lot if I had someone to talk to about it though. I'm here so I can make friends from or in Japan or anywhere else. As I said before, I'm really interested in Japan. I hope to some day make Japanese a very fluent language for myself.
Information about myself:
- I'm 5'7" or so..
> Hahah, I haven't measured my height for a while. I like being the height I am though and I wouldn't really mind if I stayed around my height now for all my life because it's never bothered me. Even though I'm kind of short for my age, I enjoy it because it's me. Height doesn't matter to me anyways. Hahah
- I only have 1 friend that I know in real life.
> I wouldn't really even call him a friend though. He's not really nice and he's bull headed. We don't really mix. We have our laughs and fun, but he's kind of like a girl sometimes - if I'm not on Skype when he wants me to be, he'll get mad. If I'm talking to someone that's not him, he'll get mad. Anyways, I know I'll meet someone on here that's going to be a great friend and that I'll for sure look forward to meeting when we do become friends.
- I'm pretty shy.
> I can talk to people pretty decently, but I don't like to be the one that goes up to the person because it's hard for me to talk to them.
- Japanese is the one and only language and culture that I am and ever will be interested in.
> I took a German class in high school but I didn't like it and I was never really interested in it. I very recently got into learning the Japanese culture and language but it's caught my eye and my heart kinda just races just thinking about living in Japan some day. It's just something that I'm just really interested in and wish to be very fluent in some day.
- I watch anime!
> I got into anime pretty recently as well. I got into anime by watching Naruto. I watched it on the TV a long long time ago, but I kinda stopped watching it after a bit. Not to long ago, maybe a couple months ago, I started to miss watching that show, because it was one of my favorites, so I tried looking it up to see if I could watch it for free on a website and I found one. I basically just watched Naruto until I had to wait for new episodes to come out and it left emptiness inside of me (literally, I was sad, hahahah) and I kinda just thought about looking at different anime's (I didn't like anime's before because the people who publicly spoke about it all the time made it sound bad, so it made me never get into it or anything) and I started watching Bleach, and that's basically what got me into watching anime's. I'd say two of my favorite anime's that I've seen so far would have to be Clannad or Sword Art Online. I'm kind of into romance anime's a lot. Not sure if that's a bad thing, but I like them and I'm always on the watch for romance anime's.
- Still in high school and I'm in online school.
> I didn't have the best time in high school because some of my teachers weren't the best and I always got teased about my height (before I went to online school, I was a lot shorter then I was now and I guess people just made fun of me for that), so I just asked my mom if I could do online school instead and she said I could. About a year and a half ago my younger sister passed away from cancer and it tore me apart pretty bad, so I just didn't really care for my life, so my grades dropped badly and I got held back. After I thought I should start trying, I couldn't because I got lazy by not doing it for a while and my grades didn't go back up so I failed again. Just recently, I started to get in gear with school because I got motivation to better in school, and that was because of Japan. Like I said before, I want to move to Japan some day, but I believe that I should do my best in school and graduate, then move to Japan as soon as I can.
