Pete's Log: random thoughts.

Entry #956, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

I don't have much in the way of memories of first grade, but two things do stand out in my mind: 1: I got a concussion and spent a week in a hospital. 2: on at least one occasion (and it seems it happened more than once, though I'm not sure), girls would drag me into the girls bathroom at school, and then try to steal my pants. I wonder if this may be a contributing factor to some of the self esteem problems I've occasionally had to deal with. But now it's really just a humorous concept. Heh. In fact, these days I think I wouldn't mind girls trying to take off my pants.

kessaku. It's an interesting word. Look it up sometime. The problem with dictionaries is they don't tell necessarily tell you which word is best for certain circumstances. Which do I want?

nishi wa sairyou desu.
nishi wa saizen desu.
nishi wa mogami desu.
nishi wa mujou desu.
nishi wa kokonmurui desu.
nishi wa kantaru desu.
nishi wa kanmuri desu.
nishi wa kan desu.
nishi wa joujou desu.
nishi wa ittou desu.
nishi wa honba desu.
nishi wa daigomi desu.

Now I'm sure one of those phrases works much better than all the rest. I even have a suspicion as to which it might be. But who knows. And is the "wa ... desu" construct even appropriate in this case? I really wish I knew japanese.

Odd as it may seem, this little bit of research into japanese is being done for my graphics homework... I don't know what brought about the memories of first grade.
