What’s with the “uru” at the end of everything – “Daytona Beach-uru.” Will someone please finally explain this to me?

great graph, but I think the JETs and the Mormon Missionaries need to switch places. The missionary guys have pretty phenominal Japanese skills, get along quite well without help, and don’t give a crap about any level of patheticism, which itself elevates them in my book. On the other hand, there are a lot of JETs that don’t ever do so well with the language, and are pretty much at the mercy of their job, which isn’t any too prestigious.

Hey, you’re black, too? I used to be, too, until this morning.

Because they’re comfortable and snug. PS, this SNL skit is hilarious. I had a grandfather who looked Japanese and the whole family thought he was. DNA results came in today, and yes, we are Japanese. So, as a woman who thought she was African-American but has now had it confirmed I am Japanese, and who used to look down on weeaboos… I’m not sure what to think or how to see myself from now on :3

But yeah, the ugly cardigan, I have quite a few. I seem to collect them. The closest I can get, since I now qualify as a Japanese-American girl and can say this, is the attraction to cardigan sweaters seems kind of to be:

- Delirious comfort suggesting winter tea in a hot mug, and a certain related Audrey Hepburnness thereto

- A wish for the cardigan sleeves to be too long, and hide the fingers, so you cannot see them while you sip winter tea in a hot mug, and indulge in a certain related Audrey Hepburnness

- A wish to hide inside the cardigan and exist but not be seen (this one’s tough to put into words but very real)

- A certain “squee” factor I cannot put into typed words, but if you add together “delirious comfort”, “hidden fingers”, “hot tea”, “winter”, “it will hide me so others cannot see me while I continue to exist inside it”, and “Audrey Hepburn”, that’s KIND OF the sensation the squee causes.

*goes back into lurking*

I *am* that girl in the cardigan. I think I own it.

Twelve or thirteen of it.
