Pros & Cons, Continued

Let me begin my Pros and Cons list by bragging, and making Kim and Elise appropriately jealous.

Tsubasa Album de Reproductions, brand new and with clear file. And then CLAMP no Kiseki volumes 2-7.

OH. OH. WHAT NOW.

PROS & CONS

+ My Japanese is becoming more and more grammatically correct!
- But five-year-olds still speak better than me.
+ CAKE SHOPS EVERYWHAREZ.
- CAKE SHOPS EVERYWHAREZ.
- I have kendo practice every day and my free time is nonexistent.
+ If I did have free time, I would probably spend it vacuuming/washing/cooking/other unfun chores.
+ No homework.
- ...Oh, who am I kidding. There is no con to not having homework.
- I do not have awesome Asian hair.
+ But, until today, all my classmates apparently thought I dyed it, and having to explain that no one in their right mind would dye their hair brown just about made my life.
+ I can buy Japanese CDs at normal prices.
- So, as a result, I am teh uberpoor.
+ Every weekend, Book Off merchandise goes on sale 20%!!
- So, as a result, I am teh uberpoor.
+ I met the mayor of Obihiro today.
- In a trend established a year or so ago when I met the mayor of Randolph wearing a Curious George suit and danced with him, I told the mayor of Obihiro that my dream was to visit every cake shop in Obihiro while referring to myself in the third-person. (Sara-san no atarashii yume wa zenbu no Obihiro no keeki no mise ni ikimasu! Ichinen dake ga arimasu, dakara... dakara, ganbaremasu, Sara-san!!)
+ When I say I like Perfume, very few people think that I am talking about cologne.
- When I say I like The Fray, however, most people think I'm talking about furries.
+ GOLDEN WEEK. And TOKYO DISNEYLAND.
- ...Uhh, is there a con to this??? Because I can't think of any. Except maybe It's A Small World in Japanese, but that can be easily evaded with a well-timed stomachache.

And the best/worst of the lot?

+ THERE ARE SEVEN ELEVEN COMMERCIALS.
+ AND THESE SEVEN ELEVEN COMMERCIALS TALK ABOUT ONIGIRI SALES.
- ...So, as a result, I am teh uberpoor.

And let me conclude my Pros and Cons list by bragging, and making everyone with a decent set of tastebuds appropriately jealous.

I... have just eaten... the BEST CAKE OF MY LIFE. (Think vanilla. Then think vanilla flan, and think of it inside chocolate mousse, and then think of that liberally doused in chocolate and topped with edible silver gilt beads and chocolate flakes. YES. BE JEALOUS.)

D8 *GRABBY HANDS* When you come back I am going through ALL YOUR STUFF GAH.

...You made me want cake. D<

also, the bit about explaining to your classmates that you don't dye your hair made me laugh REALLY HARD. And way to make a great impression on the mayor :3

D: I want to go to Tokyo Disneyland...or a Disney park in general, I've never been.

My thoughts have no real logical progression right now because I was up until 6 a.m. and thus did not sleep very long, especially since my roommate woke me up from being loud like twice.

I am dreading summer. My brother just moved back into my house. He's THIRTY. This summer = too much my dad, my brother, and my mom, and not nearly enough my boyfriend, my other friends up here, Ammie, and you. D<

I put it into google japanese-english translator to see if I was at all correct, it spat this out - "plate leaf cake eat bend over"
