Is that a touchpad?
A friend of mine said that he's a member of the mikoshi group in the SF Cherry Blossom Parade next month. He's too short to carry the mikoshi (I have visions of his feet dangling above the ground!) so he works crowd control. I may volunteer to carry the thing this year, if it means my fill of sake. _________________

I quit my job about a month ago. I got tired of doing all the work while others slacked off. I did sales and I was good at it but it was too much pressure and parents and sis/bro got so tired of me coming home complaining all the time. So I agreed to a 45 day "work break". Well I still have chores and other stuff that is the equivalent of a FT job. Now with everyone breathing down my back, I have decided to try and work again. I have an interview tomorrow morning but I will be honest, the only thing I will be thinking about during that interview is episode 5 of Tsuki no Koibito.
Why is it so hard to go to work now that I have been off work? It's someone my dad knows so I can't really "flop" the whole thing. I don't want to embarrass him. Seems like they really need someone to start and willing to hire on the spot so looks like I have the job which means... I really need some sleep now. I'm not sure what I am typing. I wish I could just watch dramas... _________________

I think a lot of people have that problem... I know I do.
Considering how crappy the job market is, you have just suck it up and worry about taking care of your own business and not let the slackers get you down: they'll get their comeuppance eventually.

You are right, I have learned from watching dramas but I haven't been serious about learning it though. I can pronounce some words but can't spell them. I try but I have problems with the phonetic challenge (accent used in words). _________________

From what I've read, supposedly there aren't really any accents in the Japanese language.

I should have said "emphasis". The placement of emphasis on words and the heightening of the voice on those emphasized parts of the words are difficult also the speed of talking is way too fast.
I enjoy hearing it from others though _________________
