Step 1: I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] theosakakoneko. Schweet. The person who tagged her apparently numbered their answers in Japanese. Koneko went with kanji. Imma shake things up a bit and go with kana.

Step 2: Here are the rules for the meme:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.

Step 3:

ア. I don't do drugs. I can't afford them, what with my Book Habit. I finished my 150th book of the year yesterday, and promptly celebrated by going out and buying another eight. (Actually, this was a total accident, but my *favorite* bookstore in 寺町 is going bankrupt so their entire stock is currently 50% off. As far as I'm concerned, that's like telling a junkie you'll never sell him heroin again, but that he can buy as much as he likes from you now at half off. I mean, jesus. These people have U of Hawaii books. On the shelves.

イ. My spoken Japanese has recently undergone a crazymad level up, all thanks to me realising that the teachers I had in uni and the authors of the textbooks I'd been using wanted me to speak the language like a 1960s-era Japanese woman, not the way women actually speak it today.

ウ. I spotted what I believe are some pretty egregious errors in some Korean flashcards someone else made, and was quite satisfied with myself. I currently suck at speaking, but I can read newspaper articles with some modest help from a dictionary, and I think my listening comprehension is improving (albeit slowly).

エ. I think Rachel Maddow is one of the most awesomest things in the universe right now. Finally someone on television who is not only crazy intelligent, but isn't afraid to show it and doesn't feel the need to prove that she really is "feminine" even though she is smart.

オ. I think Sarah Palin is the Stephenie Meyer of the political world. I heartily dislike them both, but god they entertain me.

カ. For my next trick, I would like to learn Lao.

And taggage: [livejournal.com profile] bran420_7, [livejournal.com profile] wombatdeamor, [livejournal.com profile] metal_dog5, [livejournal.com profile] bloody_american, [livejournal.com profile] demeter918, [livejournal.com profile] dark_waterlily.

That will be all.
