I need more bilingual English>Japanese/Japanese>English friends in my both my online and offline lives... it's one thing to go through self study and make every attempt to practice on your own, but it's another thing if you have someone that's there to help you out or push you to keep the pacing up. The only person I have to rely on right now lives out of state, and sadly we don't really keep in contact with each other much these days.

Really, I'm lamenting more at the fact that I want to release a couple of Japanese originals I worked extremely hard on this year, but I don't want to embarass myself if my lyrics are out in left field with improper context altogether. Definitely concerned more with getting the message across correctly than anything else. I'm really fighting with myself to not use an online translator and plug stuff in and alter wording until it makes sense... because Google's translations are forever unstable, plus it and a great many others don't interpret either of the languages properly. I'm probably better off clicking the heels of my pink boots twice and wishing to have the knowledge put in my head instantly at that rate. (ᗒ∀ᗕ)

Oh well... back to work.
