• mmm...

  i think i should start writing in this thing again.

  i re-read my last entry and was amazed at how many grammatical mistakes i made- and they were not done on purpose.  i also find myself being at a loss for words more often than not; i can just never remember that one word i'm looking for. 

  there's this one word...
  god, i've forgotten it probably a billion times, and now i've forgotten it once again
  hold on, i can do this...
  ... mcgyver...
  you'd describe mcgyver like this...
  c'mon... good with his hands, can make a bomb outta hair ties...
  crafty?  no....      handy? no.
  
  ah!   
  resourceful!
  that's it.
  why can't i remember that damn word?

  i hear that this is common after living in japan- or any non-english speaking foreign country for that matter- for an extended period of time.  i've joked around about becoming mute since my japanese isn't improving nearly as quickly as my english is declining , but i think there may be some truth to that joke.

  how embarrassing.

  ok, so i will write here in attempt to salvage what english ability is left in me, and i will blog on mixi to further embarrass myself in japanese cuz i just haven't had enough.
  (and yay! i might be getting internet at home again, so i'll actually have time outside of work to write (^^)v )
