Were You Ever a Weeaboo?

    Honestly, I AM a bit of a weeaboo/otaku, but I'd hate to be too arrogant about it o.o I can't even really pronounce half of what they say that well.. And even though I'm finally getting the hang of their sentence structure, I wouldn't dare try and repeat their phrases xD That just sounds.. embarrassing. Japanese is a really pretty language, I wouldn't want to blemish it with my freakish American accent, lmao.

    I probably could've become a weeaboo at some point if some of my friends weren't actually Japanese though xD It's more than embarrassing when you try to repeat what they say, and end up sounding like a toad croaking lmao. It's just not worth it.

    But only a part of it, and there's so much more of the Japanese culture. And you know what I mean. P:

    Nope, I have no idea. I'm not knowledgeable in Japanese culture =D
    <sarcasm end> xD
    I was just saying =) Because many people actually exclude anime from Japanese culture =)

    Speaking and grammar are easy, kanji are the most problematic part of Japanese =D
    Try it and you will see =D

    Too true, too true x] Honestly, the spoken language IS extremely easy once you understand how the language is structured [though pronunciation probably takes a while], but yeah. The written language is just like.. A labyrinth xD I tried self-studying it once and gave up within about an hour @___@ Unless I really want to move Japan, I really do not think it'll be worth it, haha.

    xD Lol, yeah. Honestly I'm not trying to be very ambitious with learning Japanese. Being able to understand what's being spoken in Japanese is going to be the limit for me, since I get too embarrassed trying to speak it anyway, lol..

    I'm not and I hate them. I like Japanese culture but I'm more interested in asian culture and I also despise learning japanese because in primary school we had to learn it and our teacher was evil.

    No, but I know lots.

    I recently discovered that my friend Tom's girlfriend Georgia is a weeaboo - and a yaoi fangirl to boot (though she does like het too). She's obsessed with Gravitation and has written yaoi fanfiction and draws yaoi constantly. Strangely, she's also into bara - then again, she hangs around with a lot of well-toned lifesavers.

    Even funnier is that Tom has recently revealed that he likes yaoi. He's considering cosplaying as Shuichi while Georgia (or Gigi, as she prefers) is going to go as Ryuichi. The scary part - Tom's going to be wearing the yellow jacket and the midriff-bearing top and hotpants. Luckily, Tom has the body; he's thin as a rail. He's already got a pink wig. (The funny thing is, Tom has an older brother who came out as gay a few months ago, but he's not as effeminate as Tom. Tom identifies as straight, but he's extremely campy.)
