Xiaobae

is what my new name is gonna be :p...

Funny story, so today I'm out hanging with s couple of my friends, just having a good time when one of my japanese friends that I havent seen in i feel like a year walked by us, to which i responded in japanese, " Hey!, Don't walk by me like you don't know me!!" she turned around, and liek a typical japanese girl, got super excited, which made be super excited... so we talked for a brief tiem and when I was done i went back to my other friends I was hangin out with. First thing said when i get back, " I't's so weird seeing you speak japanese...like it throws me off like crazy"... is it weird? i dunno... i guess i dont think much of it... i mean I'm not fluent in japanese, so most of my japanese caonversations are like a 50/50 of japanese and english, and because I'm in Hawai'i.. wehere like everyone speaks a sencond language I feel like sometimes, I think I've just come acustom to it... But then I remeber back when i was first getting decent at japanese one of the things I use to LOVE to do was go to a store with one of my japanese friends, and when i say japanese i mean from japan, thick accent japanese, and pretend I didnt speak a lick of english.. oh man, talk about HILARIOUS!!.. now of course we make sure that there's no one there that speaks japanese as best we can before we do this... but we would just walk in casually, and me looking way more like the persona that can speak english, they would usually talk to me' first, to which i woudl laugh, nod, and walk away, and when they came around again, my friend woudl say "oh, he can't speak english at all" so he would say whatever they said in japanese to me, and i would respond to him in japanese.... man, the look on peoples faces...priceless... you could totally see the "are there really black  people in japan that only speak japanese" puzzled look on their face :p... butr yea... back to the point... what if my name were something suuuper asian, like Dok-Yun, Masayuki, or Xiaobae... I wonder how people would react? I know now  when I speak japanese, some people will swear up and down that they see the asian part of me, and when I tell them I'm not asian, they tell me i shoudl chack my family history.... yea....  that's it... On another note,  I now realize that i really shouldnt write these things late at night after a 9 hour shift at work because it just comes out like blah and I am waaay too tired to go back and change it or try to give some sort of order and construction... yea... sorry for those who might read this... I swear I'm a better writer... at least I think I am...
