Why do I give up so easily. I back down and give up on the things I want. Why? It's a stupid way of operating, but it does mean for an easier time on everyone else. I mean, if I give up and back down to someone else, then they get it, less hassle for them, and I be quiet and hide. I still don't really know why I do this... Fuck it.

I gave up on something else today. Threw in the towel as it were. I don't *really* mind, but hey, it's killed a part of my perk.

I went to the opening ceremony of the University. Some people gave speeches. First was the President of the University. He spoke in Japanese with a translator. Then a couple of other people, and then a Japanese lady. She spoke in simple sentences in Japanese. I started of knowing what she was saying, then I lost it completeley. Everyone else in the whole fucking place was laughing. I cried. I coudln't believe that everyone understood and not me. I mean, that's the reason I'm here, and I can't even get the basics! what the fuck?! Then an American student made a speech. He said "What have you got to offer this University?" I have nothing. I couldn't stop crying. Thankfully no-one noticed! I calmed down after a while, then looked for my other Igurisu-jins. Not a single one of them had turned up. So I went off for the free food, and ate soo much sushi I feel sick! OH well.

BTW, there's a rather shit troll on #uk_goffs right now, so any Ops about, please come kick some ass :)

The American Way

I'm just curious for my information, what do you consider "The American Way" as opposed to the British way? I just wanted a few examples. And also so I make sure not to offend anyone I ever meet who is British, including you.

I would rather not discuss this on my livejournal, as I have a tendancy to offend people (trying oh so hard not to at the mo) and all my points would not be immediately questioned and I'd end up flamed

I'd be glad to talk to you about it though, catch me at a quiet time (^_^)
