It occurred to me a while ago that I really like looking at my reflection in coach or train or bus windows, when it's dark outside. That sounds awful and vain, but that's not quite it. With windows like those, there is a double layer of glass, so you get two reflections overlaid on each other with a slight offset. The effect is to blur and almost airbrush the image, so that, along with the standard dim lighting on nighttime coach journeys, I really can look like an arty photograph; just dark hair and pink cheeks and a smile, and no blemishes and flaws and over-enthusiastic blushing. Odd.

BSL again yesterday. We were doing signs for 'teacher', 'student', 'learn', 'college', and so on, consolidating work from the previous weeks. At one point we had to choose one of the new signs form the list on the board and sign a sentence using it. I ssked for the signs for 'friend' and 'history' and signed 'I / have / friend / teacher// but / student / teacher // teaches / history //' Becky is useful :)

Have piles of tidying and stuff to sort before weekend. Is animesoc tonight but I think I won't go, too much to do. There's always next week

I know what you mean about the reflection in windows thing. It is always me like I'd kinda like myself to be in my own head.

Tis nice...and there is always something pretty about the sepia-reflection world you can see behind you in the mirror. Tis nice.

Hey, girl! I read your journal constantly and feel quite in touch, when really we're barely in touch at all! Just realized this and feel awful. :p

Seems like signing classes are going well, I'm incredibly awed. I suck at learning new things, which is why Japanese and I simply aren't meshing well whatsoever. x.x But then again, I'm really not trying hard enough. I am a terrible student.

But I am trying to work on websites again. Arisugawa's Locket, the next and final version will be up soon. Just so all these pictures and random useless stuff on my computer will have a home. Speaking off, do you have that Shiori goat pic? I completely forgot to email you for it.

Well, I'm going to settle down for some study time before maybe getting some sleep. Blah. Good luck with all your work and tidying!

*laughs* Sure! Go for it. Let's try eapatter@unity.ncsu.edu and see how it goes.

And don't be envious, I'm crap at Japanese. :p
