45

For some reason, a classmate of mine in PE and I felt just exactly the same thing about PE. We both used to really really like it, then because of today we didn't like it, and it wasn't because our teacher came back, or anything like that. And he didn't eat anything the entire day, and I didn't sleep well last night (I slept at 1:00, although I went to bed at 11:00).
He wasn't the kind of person that I'd thought I'd be close friends with, though.
I do admit that this conversation changed my image of him somewhat, and he did pay me back 20 cents for 17 cents which he owed me a long time ago.
I know that 17 cents is a small amount, and with close friends I would just let it go, but if I did expect you to give it back, you better give it back.
And if you were in that category of people, I would make it clear that I wanted you to pay it back. I usually don't bother with nice formalities and words like ',Oh, its no rush,' or things like that.

I said 'yeah, me too', like I regularly do. Sometimes people might think I'm just not listening and doing that to keep the conversation going, but I wasn't.

Oh, and when I don't say anything, it does not imply that I agree with what you're saying, it either means that I know you're not going to change your mind no matter what, or its just annoying. This only applies if you're one of my peers, though.

And now for the inevitable part about Utada Hikaru.
I've read her translated 'HEART STATION' lyrics, and they are awesome. They are just in another league compared to popular music in English.
However, I would say that's because of language differences, because UH's English lyrics are... different. And she herself said that Japanese is more of a flowery language, and if you just directly translate English lyrics to Japanese, it would end up very vulgar.

Those lyrics are just really really nice. They're like a poem, except one that doesn't take too much thinking to understand what they mean.

Darn, I can't paste things onto this blog.
