SHOUHEI IS A KANSAI BOY

slkfusdhfksdf I'M INCOHERENT GUYS. DEAD FROM HAPPY.

lsdkjfhsdjlf SO. SO sososososososo I went to Japanese today, armed with The Skirt (for no reason.....really), prepared to be bored with the lesson but happy with the company to my left, and I wasn't disappointed for the most part, til George-sensei made us break into groups of three for our "chiisai geki" -_-; Yes, the whole "let's have fun performing skits in front of the class together :DDDDD" crap. Meh, at least I get to write it. I play a nagging girlfriend, which I've realized is going to be so much fun ♥ Sadly, Tom/Shouhei isn't in any of the groups, he's the "helper" or some such crap.

So, class ended with me headed home to write up some script, and I happened to find myself walking alongside the looooovely Shouhei again, and tried to play hard-to-get by messing with my phone.

And then of course he struck up a conversation XDDDDDD I'd asked sensei in class about a kanji mistake he'd made (read: I pointed out how he doesn't know kanji >_>) and I guess it sparked him to finally ask me how I knew Japanese--if I'd been taught before, or lived in the country, or what. I explained my humble *coughcough* upbringings with a swelling of pride (or was that my head? XD) and he did that cute little Japanese "Ooohhhhh" asdlkhagsdja And then asked if I had plans to go there--to which I of course said yes, to teach English/do linguistics studies, that kind of thing.

SO he asks where. I waffle and say nowhere in particular, but that I did want to visit, like, Osaka, and Kyoto. Why, he asks--cause I like the dialect I admit XDDDDD Why again, he asks. Cause I love how it sounds!

"Oh. You know, I speak Kansai-ben usually."

aksjdhsuidhasda WHAT.

"I'm from the Kansai region originally."

asdlauisydhakusdyaid7yorwe7ro8w7erfwsowfkas WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAT.

Oh yes, boy--YES. YOU JUST GAINED 2934872934872934 MORE COOL POINTS THAN THE INFINITY YOU ALREADY HAD.

YOU BE MAKE SPEAK KANSAI NEXT TIME I SEE YOU YES. I WILL squeeze an, "Akan~" or "Hona, sainara," out of you YET.

Dear Mom and Dad:

It thrills mepains me to inform you that you will, I'm sorry, never be getting a white son-in-law. There will be an Asian in the familly of the Japanese persuasion so help me God. If I get this dokidoki over a five minute conversation with one now, in America, I shudder to think how it'll be over there, but rest assured I'll defend my own honor as best I can til they sign the pre-nup at least.

Hugs and Kisses,

Your Daughter

SO. I talked to "Tom" today. As in had a normal conversation askfuyhsgfbksjfhsdfs Ok, so here's how it went down. I got to class early *gasp* and sat in my usual seat in the front corner of the class and WHO should sit beside me but Mr. "I just got to America 4 years ago listen to my awesome English ♥" Tom. I suppress my girlish giggle of glee and instead get my crap out. Apparently we're studying honorific verbs in class (you know, the super polite ones--irassharu, nasaru, that kinda thing) and sensei asks us to do this workbook activity in pairs (!!!) that involves reading a story and changing the appropriate verbs to keigo. Simple enough, right?

Execpt the best thing happened: Tom said he never used keigo before ♥

Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen learning the language. A born and raised Japanese 23 year old man (I learned that today too :3) had never found opportunity to use the bane that is keigo. Breathe a sigh of relief ♥

So that meant the whole activity was like the blind leading the blind in some cases. Most of it was obvious, but then there were places where the book obviously wanted one thing and Tom's sitting there scratching his head going, "........umm, I don't think that's what I'd use..." *pats him* poor thing...

After class, I'll admit I did the stalker thing and walked out as soon as he did, knowing there was a long hall to walk through that would make it difficult of him not to notice me. And of course he struck up a conversation, asking where I was going--the computing center, where I am now--and then asked what I was studying--Biomedical Science, he's an Electrical Engineer, it's love ♥

He then asked my name, and I told him Courtney, and he nodded like he finally understood, and said that when sensei would call on me in class (which would be "Courtney-san") he thought sensei was saying "Koizumi-san" and was struggling to determine if I was Japanese or not XDDDDDDD

So, I broke down and asked him what I'd been curious about for so long: Was "Tom" REALLY his real name?

.......of course not XD It was Shouhei. But, he explained, Tom is just so much easier to say and remember.

..............................BULL. YOU ARE SHOUHEI FROM NOW ON YOU LOVEABLE IDIOT ♥♥♥
