 Got rained on like shit today again. Paid for guacamole on Door Dash but didn't get it. My old Twitch videos crack me up and it seemed I was having a lot of fun with Final Fantasy V. Not sure if I'll ever go back to that though. And I really don't know what purpose the Learn JP livestreams could have. I can't seriously focus and commentate at the same time. Livestreaming will just be when I feel like talking and playing a game, though I'm afraid to download emulators now after what happened. Yeah, I think a good plan sounds like first just learning all the most common words without even caring too much about understanding -- just getting each word reinforced so that when you're out in the wild reading JP, all you have to worry about is the grammar and understanding the meaning of the sentence. Though learning the grammar is mostly kind of like just learning a word.  So I guess an ideal scenario would be knowing complicated words and kind of knowing the grammar,...
 No fucking way, dude. No fucking way. I'm actually reading 二都物語 on my Kindle. Which I bought from Amazon Japan because they don't have shit on the English stor. And I only had to break two keyboard keys and steal a random 北海道 number and address from Google Maps. Thank god. I can actually use my Kindle now. I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd be able to. I really, seriously thought that for the rest of my life I would be limited only to the shitty selection they have available on the English store. I thought for sure I'd have to actually verify the Japanese address or phone number, but nope. Actually, I shouldn't speak too soon because I still don't know if I'm able to buy things. And as expected, Amazon doesn't want to take my money. So I guess I'll have to try getting one of those pre-paid cards from Walmart again (Don't know what happened to the last one I had) Fucking pain in the ass but hey, IF this works, that would be huge. Oh my go...
 One of the best Sundays I've had in a while simply because I was actually able to use the kitchen I'm paying for to prepare a home-cooked meal of tofu, curry and rice. I assume they'll be gone at least until Thanksgiving. God forbid something happens to them and they're not able to make it back, that would be truly tragic. First day of quitting weed wasn't that hard thanks to the Japanese girl using her いわゆるドキドキ戦法 on me. If the next two months at work end up being slow, I'll have her to talk to to speed things up and that's a really great thing. So I ignore my relatives when they text, this girl really is all I need and I hope I don't mess it up by being stupid. Created 40 flashcards while watching 遊戯王. It's amazing how you can create so many so quickly. That's just the way I am though -- I want to add literally every word I don't know so that I can "Complete" the series and rewatch it again anytime without anything being new. I...
 Guys, did you know that 貴様、おまえ、and てめえ are actually rude words? Yeah, I was shocked too. I watch a lot of anime so I thought these words are super polite and that every Japanese person uses them. Oh, but it's actually complicated because 500 years ago 貴様 USED to be polite. Man, how confusing is that.  I'm a simple man: When I see a Joe Rogan video recommended to me by Youtube, I block that shit so fucking fast. Like you are NOT going to recommend that to me, understand? Nor are you going to recommend to me videos like "Blowpipe is BUSTED in LEAGUES 4". After seeing those videos, I have a lot more respect for Woox because he just doesn't sensationalize shit like that. He's so pure and honest. Like Bobby Fisher he's a person I aspire to be.  Roommates are gone for Thanksgiving, so I can actually prepare a home-cooked meal of Hamburger Helper for once. This may be the best week since the two military fag boys invaded in July.  Spoke to my Japanese friend for...

Thanksgiving Feast

 Today we had a Thanksgiving feast and yesterday the newest Runescape Leagues was released but I don't feel like playing. I think it's clear to me now that Discord is a terrible place for me -- it's too easy to get into arguments that seriously piss me off, and there's hardly anything to be gained from it. Same with YikYak. Perhaps a little socialization is good, but these are DEFINITELY not the right places for it. You'd be much better writing your words in a blog or something.  By the way, I can't imagine why ぼくドラキュラくん was never released overseas, though I'd swear that まんじ is facing the wrong way...   Okay, I played a little bit of Leagues after 3.5 hours of こころ but I don't have any real motivation besides having the Crafting Skill Cape would be cool. Ah, I need to get an Amazon Kindle charger. Mine's at 14%. I wonder if they have A Tale of Two Cities.
