Warning! Rant incoming.

Nop, thanks for saying that ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

Oh, you're welcome then! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

DOCTOR WHO FAN AAAAGH. finally met one.

Oh hello. :)

Don't get all worked up over a manga balloon, Somewhere. It's just something the mangaka made up in order to have an excuse to get the mother out of the picture, so the fater/child- situation would make the character more sympathetic. Everybody knows that in Japan, children are sacred and no mother would ever say a thing like that. Plus, homosexuality is not at all a taboo in Japan, it never has!
I do think sometimes, you guys are getting too wrapped up in these stories...

Sorry, I had a lot of cake that night and cake makes me a bit manic. So yeah it was kind silly of me to to get so absorbed. ^~^

If something like that REALLY happened, it would definitely be awful. But in Japan, it would be nearly impossible. Most gay men in Japan get married to a woman first, by the way. And tell their wife they are BEFORE they get married. They have a baby, or more, and then after a while get divorced and split the custody in an amicable way. There is no Gay Marriage Law yet in Japan, but Japanese gay couples have a solution to this: the oldest in the couple simply adopts the youngest. (you can do that no matter what age you are, in Japan). That way, they both are each others heirs and nobody can throw a gay "widower" out of his own house after the death of his spouse, and denying him the right to take care of his children: since he's adopted by their father, they're officially his "siblings", so he's the first legal custodian. Without the Bible hanging over your head, life is much easier, isn't it...
Cake, huh? It never does that to me. Maybe our Belgian cake is better? :-P

Don't knock American cake lol
And I didn't know that, very interesting :)

You American? Nice to meet you (I can't see your flag). I don't know anything about American cake, except that Belgian tourist back from America tell, they find the icings to have rather unnatural colors, like blue or purple or stuff like that. We don't have that, since artificial coloring isn't allowed in Europe. I don't think I'd like purple or blue cake... :-ç We only use natural ingredients. You should come visit Belgium and taste our cakes, and more than that, our waffles and chocolates!
I bet you'd be in a good mood for the rest of your life :-) And you'd be more than wellcome. Even if youre a real fujoshi :-P
Maybe you're ADHD, because of the artificial colourings?
What's the Tardis? (just curious, very)
About Japan: it's true, I can tell you more about it if you want.

I've actually had multi colored cake, it's really good, and really sweet, like DAMN, and colored icing is harmless, and usually not absurdly flavored. They have food coloring in them and that's why we have some crazy color combos. And yep, I live in Texas, I just set it to mars on my profile because it sounded cool. Much fun as it would be to go to Europe, I'm still a sophomore in high school.
As far as I know I'm not ADHD, I am pretty fidgety though. And icing's not my thing, because much as I love cake, I can't stand the goopiness of icing.
The TARDIS is from Dr Who, it's a time-traveling device shaped like a blue police box, it's a great show, definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it.
And I'd love to hear more about Japan.

Ah, oh, I see. (if I was Japanese, I'd say: "A soo desu ka!" (soo is long, and you don't pronounce the "u", so 'a soo dess'ka').
No, I meant there's a medical theory that artificial food coloring -even if it's harmless- play a role in causing certain types of ADHD.
If you study hard at school, you might get yourself a good job and be able to travel around the world, and visit Europe.
In Japan, love or sex aren't always intrinsically linked. Sex is part of culture, not of morals. That's actually why there are yaoi and bara manga: Japanese culture isn't influenced by Moses and his Old Testament, so both free hetero- or homosexuality is quite normal, nothing to do with "sin". In the west, there are no comics about sex, certainly not gay sex, let alone among the teenage-targeted comics! It would be totally unthinkable in Texas, or in many other countries. They always say: "we can't have these things in movies or tv series or comics, because we have to protect the youth". In Japan, there are no taboos around sex, gay or otherwise, and still the kids there are just as happy and well loved as they are anywhere else. They're not traumatized any more than other kids anywhere in the world.
So if you like yaoi, thank the Japanese civilisation! If you want more, just ask me questions.
(and about dr Who: I watched that aaaaaages ago, I'm more a Star Trek lover.)

Very interesting indeed, thank you :)

If in Japan somebody thanks you, you answer "Doo itashimashite".
The two first i's are short and sharp, like in "pitch", and the last i you don't pronounce. The ending e is a bit like a French è, sort of the e in "levvy" Doo itashimash'tè, kind of.
It's rather hard to explain Japanese pronounciation to English speakers, because you guys pronounce all the vowels so differently compared to the rest of the world... Once it took us weeks to make an American kid understand how he had to pronounce "kawaii" (that means "cute" in Japanese). Keeweeh-wy? Kehwuy? Kheeew? ... :-{
In the end, some of us had the bright idea to come up with this: "Try to say Hawaii, but with a K instead of an H!" Then finally, he understood he had to pronounce the a's like a's are supposed to, and i's as well, the Roman way...
English is actually a lot weirder than Japanese, you know!

I agreed with you! English is a really weird language XDD for me was more easy to learn how to speak in Japanese than in English...

You originally Japanese, then? Or you learned Japanese in school or elsewhere?

The problem with English is, it was never conceived to be written with Roman letters. Roman letters are meant to write Latin, aren't they. And in Latin, an 'a' is an 'a', and not an ee, the way it is in English. An 'i' is an' i', and not an aai, the way it is in English. Etcetera.
English was written in some sort of Rune-script, before the Roman Empire conquered the whole of Europe and a big part of the world. The people in the British Islands had two scripts (that we know of): a type or Runes, and a code-script called "Ogham", that was still used up till the 7th century in Ireland to write Gaëlic. You can read about that and many other interesting things in the books about Sister Fidelma, written by an Irish professor called Peter Tremayne. It's about a young woman who's a cleric and a lawyer, in 7the century Ireland. It's designed as a series of murder mysteries, but in fact mr. Tremayne wants to teach you about the History of Ireland. Its really interesting, and fun to read too! If you girls like reading and are curious about other cultures, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. In Gaelic, o's are supposed to be pronounced i's with an accent, if they're before a consonant, or behind, I don't remember, it's really bizarre. You can clearly tell the 26 Roman letters aren't meant at all to be used for that sort of languages. Welsh is even worse... You guys ever seen Welsh written down? I'd rather learn Japanese anytime!! :-O

Oh no, I am from Argentima so I am used to an a being an a (≧▽≦) and I am learning japanese on my own....
I am impressed of how much you know and thanks for the booms I will read them (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Ah. I see. You're from the country of the Dutch queen. And in Argentina, a's are a's and i's are i's. Ha ha ha! Much easier to learn Japanese. My first language is Dutch, and a's are a's in Dutch too. I'm not from the Netherlands, but we speak Dutch too, in Belgium. The Dutch are our neighbours. For someone who's first language is Dutch, it is much easier to learn Japanese than for those who speak English and even French: I have a French textbook for learning Japanese, and they also have troubles at certain sound: ai for instance. In French, ai would be pronounced like è, Je vais (I go). So, in that book they explain to the French readers to pronounce ai this way: "aïlle" In Dutch, ai is ai, not è. No explanation necessary.
Japanese r's also sound a lot more like Dutch r's than French or English r's, so that's simple too.
The only problem in learning Japanese, in my eyes, is that enormous amount of kanji you have to learn. I keep hoping the Japanese government will one day declare kanji out of fashion and make the children at school learn nothing but hiragana and katakana from now on! That would be so great for us gaijins! Ne?

hahha yeah that would be great (๑•ㅂ•)و✧, for me it is also the most difficult part of learning Japanese although they are interesting but yeah there are a lot of them
(〜￣△￣)〜
there are differences between Japanese and Spanish but they are not many, for example they don't use the l and c likes us...Spanish r's sound more stronger and Japanese h is not mute like in Spanish and there are others but the vowels are the same.
in Belgium the people speak in Dutch an French or just one of them?

Both. Belgium is a little country, roughly the shape of a diamond. Right through the middle iss an invisible "linguistic" frontier: The top half, called Flanders, we speak Dutch. In the lower half, a former chunk of France, the people speak French. It is called Wallonia.
So in Flanders, the fist language we learn at school is French, and in Wallonia it's Dutch. They have it harder than us: we Flemish are known for our knack for languages.
But those kanji... that's really not a matter of linguistic gift, it's a huge memory chore! I know a bit more than a 100, but to read a Japanese book you need 1.945 kanji.
Oosugi da naaaa! (you understand that?)

Ah yes I understand, it means that they are too many right? I am not sure how many I know but I still have a lot to learn.
so you French is like your second languagethat is great XD
here in school we learn English and another language like in my case Portuguese
but they teach only the basics (that is why I don't remember anything about Portuguese (￣∇￣") )
