OK. I wrote on Otedama. You can google it if you'd like.

A children's game, huh? Well, uh, I'm interested, I guess?

I'm currently bent on completing my Studio Ghibli marathon starting with Nausica? of the Valley of the Wind.
It's strange how I've never finished a Ghibli movie before.

Its a kid's game with swag. Talking about it in Japanese is more impressive than in English, of course.

A couple questions I have to ask:
「」 are quotation marks, right?
Why are there asterisks all over the place?
When I typed "otedama," I came up with this:
「おてだま」
Could you care to explain how there are extra characters in what I quote below?
「お手玉てだま」

Also, you really don't plan on changing your sig, huh?

Ah, I just realized that I haven't, well, befriended you all here.

I recognize that it is just a symbolic gesture, considering that it does practically nothing because of the archaic friends system, but these sorts of gestures mean something, no?

I'm coming if you pay the trip costs :D.
And iI have one question, what will MS do with Cyanogen? Seriously? If they buy it they better do before I buy my next phone. Nexus seems more tempting every day ;).
They'll probably hire the devs to work on a couple projects and inject some new blood in the WP team

おてだま = お手玉

The first part as you know is all hiragana, and the second part is how it looks when written with kanji. Japanese uses kanji (originally Chinese characters) to replace certain hiragana letters. Sometimes whole words can be written in kanji. The easiest way to tell if its Japanese or Chinese you're reading is to look for Japanese hiragana. Very, very rarely, you'll find a whole sentence in Japanese exclusively in kanji because of their use of connecting particles.

The asterisks don't mean anything. I just copied an pasted the speech from another document.

And no. That signature stays for as long as I own a Nexus 5.

Today I've mostly just watched TV and played a bit of Planetside 2. There's a good chance I might go see a film called "Lucy" later today.

I don't think you realise how big London is. There's a lot to see. I don't live in London either, close, but not in it so it's not like I can just see things every day.

I don't know how big it is :p I didn't think London was that big

Interesting. I've heard they don't mess around these days. Sound like it's true or you take things more seriously than others.

Then again, you seem to not get into college life. :p

I'm more focused this semester well that's the plan >:)

I work in a clinic. We are closed on Monday. However we are open 6 days a week. It is my scheduled day to work today. So all the folks who are working in clinic get only Sunday and the holiday on Monday off.
