I'm Weird

Everyone talks to themselves. Not everyone does so aloud. Fewer yet do so aloud in Japanese.

Except in Japan, I suppose.

I get phrases from games and anime stuck in my head with alarming frequency, and I have this compulsion to repeat them. They just sound COOL. And no, they aren't cool. Not in real life. There's a reason IKUZE!!! ('Let's Go!'--with an emphasis on "I'm gonna' punch you in the manberries") is generally left to the 2D plane is because it'd be silly to shout that unless you were going to hit somebody with a pipe--or conversely you REALLY REALLY needed to go to the market for some milk.

In addition, I say things like "Dokomademo, AGAITERU!" (anywhere, I will fight!) and "Shanto Shina~" (Do it right.) Because I heard them somewhere and I like how they sound. I should really start singing aloud instead. I might get fewer weird looks.

Though frankly--I enjoy the weird looks.

Love,
