:bowing: I commend thee.

I find myself lapsing into French whenever I'm searching in my brain for the right Japanese word. So, to have all those languages floating around in your brain, I'm truly impressed, Frieda.

Deviate: thought that after I asked- never seen it in roman script before. Heard it spoken many times, though.

Well, I have to go to bed- I need to get up early tomorrow and get lost in Yokohama. (It's visa time!! Yipee!)

Did you know I was an alien? Home-grown and pure-bred, and I've got the paperwork to prove it. Watch out, those of you who are going to get killed by alien abduction... never said what kind, did it?

Sweet dreams

i think i got the joke, but i didn't respond b/c i was too busy piecing back together the wrecked parts of my self-esteem....

i took enough high school french to recognize the key words and, well (in my best soap opera voice), i'll just never be the same....

Best translation joke ever:

Fawlty Towers, Basil Fawlty trying to chat up French antique dealer at hotel, she describes her day out in Torquay's finest antique shops, to which Cleese replies "Ah, formidable!"

Only he pronounces it in English.

Has me stitches every time. It's the way you tell 'em.

:Runs over to help Beale put together the shattered bits of his wounded pride:

There, there, Beale. I would have done the same to anyone that opened themselves for such opportunity. I wouldn't do it if I didn't think you could handle it.

There- you're allowed two insults in my direction- one for my french. The other for the limerick line. Here's your license for "Open Season on amanda". Good for one day only.

Japanese: start with hiragana, feel soild 'bout that, move on to katakana. Once you have that down, then you're ready for kanji. Be careful who your teacher is- who you are depends on what words you can use.
