nice to meet you^^ yeah lately ive been watching ghibli films i havent watched yet and today i just barely watched grave of the fireflies and it was so hard not to cry.. i mean just thinking about it makes me want to cry! it was really good though and really made my heart melt. i thought it was so cute that that boy took care of his little sister and tried to have fun even though there was so much turmoil. i like those songs btw! i love LIGHTS. i love my neighbor totoro! i think ill name a pet that when i get one. uhm my favorite ghibli film... thats hard cause theyre all really good! but id have to say my favorite was howl's moving castle ^^ i never herd of ghibli films till i was 15 but i only saw howls moving castle. but just a week ago i decided to check if there were others so yeah ^^ i cant believe how old they are! your names shogo? isnt that japanese?

Hiya~! Just thought I'd pass by and send a message of greetings :D I'm new to the site, so I was just poking around XD So if you ever want to talk, PM me or leave a little not on my profile! :)

ah, I see! That's really cool. It's great that you take your writing in more of a positive direction. I can imagine how uplifting it must be. Do you post it anywhere by chance? I'd love to check out your poems if you don't mind. ^_^ Sometimes it's healthy to write about the negative things just to get it out of your system but I can see the down side to it because it can have am uncomfortable effect. I wish you luck on learning! Is there a language barrier between the two of you? Don't hesitate to ask me for help, i'm not the greatest but I promise to do my best! True, I'll learn in time, I just choose to take it very slooooooow with the kanji... I'll avoid it as long as I can! XD

mmhmm! It's always fun to learn something new although at times it can me difficult never give up! It's always great to have an escape from the many stressful situations life has to throw at you. hmm, what exactly do you write? You have a good point about softer tones, That boosted my confidence, thanks for that! That's so cool! ^w^ For me, Romaji fairly easy, i stumble on my words at times but what fun is learning if there isn't a challenge involved? umm, but in general it took about 3 months to get down the basics and pronunciation, pronouncing can be a bit confusing but I think i'v got it down! XD I also know all of my Hiragana characters. I study a lot. >.< If you've got the determination I'm sure you could pick up easily. I'd be more than happy to teach or provide you with tips! All you have to do is ask. =) WHat intimidates me is katakana and Kanji! O_O there are sooo many characters and the strokes confuse me to no end! I think I'll stay away from that until I feel prepared. >.<; I would love to see how I would fare in Japan. It would really test my knowledge, I wonder if i could get by easily or not. I too would love to visit Japan and hope to one day. I apologize for rambling so much.

Well, what if making someone truly happy meant you had to be apart of the equation? (: I've never heard that song by Lights, but ill check it out! I just got off a six an a half hour shift X.X so I think I might just listen to some music n_n As for piano, I really hope so! I want to try and play again, but I would need to buy a piano... Or get another keyboard or something :S I don't know if I'm an angel, but thank you :) like I keep on repeating you're really sweet. I don't find you awkward either, in fact I think you're really awesome n_n your poems are lovely, and I love reading them. What's your favourite romance anime?

O_O oh my, well you have to start somewhere! with enough time and determination you'll master it for sure! The guitar can be a challenge so I commend you! What made you want to play in the first place? I'm just cuirous. ^_^ Ah, you're totally right, I really appreciate the advice and encouragement, it's very inspiring! ^_^ I definitely need to work on my self confidence. I'll try my best! kyaaa, my tone is sooo soft... Maybe I'm afraid of singing out. I have a LOT that I need to work on but I'm not helping by tearing myself apart. I know I have my flaws but everyone does and that's what makes us human. I always take something positive away from my mistakes, it's just a learning experience. O_O aweh, thanks sooo much for the compliments! I really put my all into that cover, it's in a lower key so I had a difficult time. I also had to step up my game because it's an english song which means no romaji lyrics to focus on. I had to sing as well in english as I do in Japanese it was hard but i'm sort of pleased with how it turned out. XD I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to check it out, I really appreciate it. ^_^

My hobbies? I don't have many these days since I work 5 days a week. But I love writing and roleplaying online with friends. That's my stress relief. Writing out a story with another person just makes me smile and its so much better when you are good friends with the other person. But I also love japanese music and am planning on memorizing the song anti nostalgic from the anime gravitation. Such a sad sounding song makes me want to cry every time! Ah but I also love my conventions and cosplaying at them. It makes me feel so alive to join the cosplay community and when I wear the costume it makes me giddy hahaha ^__^ im very much into poetry and other arts too. Im going to be taking a ceramics class starting Wednesday so im stoked at going to get my hands dirty with clay! -squeal- ^w^ maybe we can do a poetry swap sometime. Id love to read your work and see your skill and im always up for sharing mine.

Aw, well I'm happy you feel that way :) when I make other people happy I feel very happy as well, just like you! I think you are something special! That's why I'm so eager and excited to talk to you n_n! You're so sweet, and I love how your so open and just the way you express your thoughts. Thank you for the compliments :) I'm sure you are pretty good, and if you can keep practicing you'll be even better. I like every genre of music...well except for like country XD I like some anime music too, from the openings of my favourite shows and of course Miku Hatsune ^_^ I'm flattered youre willingly to play for me, that means a lot, Shogo :) a song I really like from an Naruto is a song called Bluebird. Its kinda sad, but I like it. I also like Follow you into the Dark by DeathCabForCutie ^.^ I used to play piano for about four years, I gueess I was alright at it XD I stopped taking lessons after I hit like the age of 13 and I haven't played ever since. In fact, I think I've forgotten :( but, I always wanted to learn how to play that Blue Bird song on the piano because I thought it was so beautiful n_n Ahh, you really are such a sweetheart. (:

That was beautiful and just adorable :') like I don't even know what to say! Thank you so much for that lovely poem, it made me smile :) Ahh! You are so awesome, I wish I could write poetry like you! You really touch my heart, Shogo n_n I guess I never really asked you, but you play guitar It seems XD what kind of music are you into?
