Heh, that why not to learn japanese page is funny
I've been studying Japanese for 4 years now, plus 2 years before that I was picking apart words in anime. As far as linguistics go, I do very well, so I actually consider myself fairly fluent.
AUGH! I wanna go to Japan so bad!! But I'm poor AND afraid of flying. (And yes, I was afraid of flying LONG before 9-11

- I'm scared to death of heights, falling, crashing, death, etc.... things one with my mindset would associate with flying... heh...)
