Today I went to Kinokuniya.

Anime fankids: *are looking at translated manga and making lots of noise*

Me: Heehee. It's Christmas. Aren't they cute.

Me: ...

Me: AND I AM THEIR QUEEN HOOHOOHAHAHAHA.

Me: Because tomorrow, I take the JLPT 1!

Me: Oh, SHIT I have to take it?!?! AAAGH NO.

I bought a lot of things. Don't even remember it all. Like the new version of Sailormoon, the whole series---why did I buy that? Omigod no. T_T And an art book, and um. I dunno. OH I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE ADVENT CHILDREN BOOK TO LOOK AT RUFUSSSSS. I bought so much crap they gave me a Detective Conan watch. Who wants it?

So I'm currently freaking about the test, as was mentioned above. I'm mostly just realizing, omigod I have to TAKE it? God what a pain! Well, I never said I was smart. And other people speak Japanese and English just fine, I'm not good enough etc. I'm suddenly really not looking forward to sitting in a test center for three hours. Ugh. I'm also suddenly having this thing where I think it's revolting when my parents say they love me. I think I'm scared I'll be giving up on myself and becoming a hive mind with my parents if I believe it. This surprises me because I generall expect it to be nice when my parents say they love me.

I don't really feel like putting up a detailed account of what I've done/eaten because it's not that important anyway, but um.

-Cafe Zaiya gave me my first real mont blanc. It was everything I wanted and so much MORE.

-Menchanko is still full of Japanese people, except for this one blonde woman last time I was there, and she didn't seem to appreciate the food anyway. (Weirdo.)

-Minamoto Kitchoan is still really expensive. And full of Japanese people. I did not get any namagashi, but then again they didn't have the temari I loved two years in a row. Assholes.

-Kinokuniya is still full of wonderful wonderful books, but the manga is on the first floor now. In place of the manga, on the second floor, is a mass of all things cute. I can't even describe it.

-Speaking of books, I saw none other than 嫌韓論...was that the name? In two Japanese bookstores. You know, the book with the article, that I just put up last week? Yeah. Of course it would be here. Some ribbon on the book gave me the impression that it was sold over 300,000 copies. Unfortunately they were wrapped in both cases and I was unable to get to the squishy racism inside for examples. I'm not sure getting to screech about it in my LJ is really worth throwing up in a bookstore in NYC, anyway.

-I saw a very scary ad on the inside of a little booklet about Asian food in NYC. I need to scan it when I get home. I'm not sure what to think. (It's Yellow Fever.)

-I visited Book Off completely by accident, but they didn't have that Korea book. It was interesting enough, but they didn't have anything I was relaly lusting after. Except cheapass cookbooks.

-We went through Rockefeller Center at about fourish. You know, the giant tree? The place where every shopping crowd IN THE FUCKING CITY seems to converge to gawk and carry shopping bags and tug along small children? Jesus fucking Christ.

-The American Girl outlet was also...like...there was a line just to get in. A line, all for things for little girls. And it was really big, too. On one hand, boy am I glad there's something nice and cute for little girls that they like, but I'm also wondering, is it because there's not nothing else that peddles to them? Or have they all just cruelly ignored the other stuff?

You Are a Schoolgirl!

You're not quite as wild as a "kogyaru", but with your short plaid skirt
and silly white socks, you're still a sexual fetish object.
You can usually be seen hanging out in the girly section of the video game places,
collecting photobooth stickers of you and your friends. You may not be as innocent as you look.
Did those vending machine panties once belong to you?

What's Your Japanese Subculture?

I DON'T GET IT.

I'm really, just. Oh, man, I really don't want to take my test tomorrow. Siiiiiiiiiggggggggh. Such hard work. And the question of passing. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

GOOD LUCK

I wish you good luck! You'll do it, I'm sure!! ;_;

And OMG HOLIDAY. I wish I could go to New York or America myself someday ... +ENVIOUS+ D:

I'll take the watch. XO Good luck on the test, too!

がんばれよ！
もうむすさんならきっと大丈夫だと思うけどね
俺の寒い冗談全部分かってくれたし（泣

Good luck! :D

...God, I haven't been to a Japanese bookstore in so long, ever since Sasuga moved... T_T

THANK YOU. XD *salutes* It probably sounds like I'm kissing up when I say this, but I'm glad you took even like 2 seconds to wish me good luck. :D

Thank you. XD

You need to go to Sasuga again. The decoration frankly leaves something to desired (especially the outside, which is almost forbiddingly mundane and sad) and it looks like crap when you go in, but once you're actually there it's much better. They've got so much more floor space and STUFF now. It's fun.

MWAHAHAHAHA. Come to New York, it's mildly dangerous and filled with hobos but it's totally schizophrenic and you can buy like ANYTHING you ever wanted!!!!!!11

Thank you! Thank youuuu. ;_;

WELL I KNOW THAT TEST WILL LIKELY BE HARD

BUT YOU CAN DO IT!!

ありがとう~♥♥　もうむすちゃん，がんばりますぅぅぅぅぅ ♥♥♥　(≧3≧)

And as you can see, I'm something of a lunatic so if you did make any crummy jokes (I'm have a hard time remembering these though?) I THINK YOU'RE OK. 8D

*thought of the guy saying "You can doiiit!"*

TEST V. HARD. I think. Maybe I'll go do some practice problems to kill my spirit.

Where's the new location, again?

Just wanted to wish you much much luck and wisdom =D it's just a test, nothing to freak out about. See, with the power of all your friends who believe in you it should be a piece of cake!

You can also be certain that i'll take that quiz you posted when i have the tiiime for gaining self-knowledge and exploring my inner Japanese girl. I'm ever so curious about her now.

WTF IM NOT A WEIRD GAIJIN! SCREW YOU QUIZ =(( I don't even watch anime, and it's not on videotape ARR.
I had some hopes for less generic results than these, and more considered questions that may correspond to them. Not like when answering that you wear white make-up results in "GUESS WHAT, YOU'RE GOTHIC, you can be seen wearing white make-up!" or alternately in stuff about panties nobody really gets.

Uh, M...Melrose? I already forget. Look at their website.

Cake...

Thank you. XD

ROFL. Someone else I know what lives in Japan got that result, tee hee.

I got the stuff about panties, I just...I don't understand the whole thing or what it's supposed to say about me. And frankly I am picking up Stupid Waves from it. For instance, I don't see any Suffering Elite Jukensei. Not like they're very sexy or underground, but aren't they, you know, PROLIFIC? And insane? And they look funny? Or how about salarymen?

Imagine the combined goodwill of all your friends channeling into you like a sort of Pocky Planet Attack. Or if you're feeling more jittery, Pocky Crisis Make-UP!

You're too late, but would it be dorky if I said...that's cool. I should have done that.
