I'm writing again! I'll try to make this a short post. Everyone must be tired of my long posts. ^^

I'll tell you why I'm scared of driving. (I remember that I said I will in one of my posts.) It's a bit of a long story, so bare with me. ^^

When I was 13, my family and the neighbours went to the amuzement park. One of the rides we went on was the Bumper Cars. And for the first time, I was given my dad's permission to drive it alone. Just my luck, the car I sat in was broken. It only went backwards! I panic, of course. And I told the guy in charge of the ride that my car's broken. He said that it wasn't. So I try to make the car move forwards. You know those tyres they have on the edges, so that when you crash into the wall, nothing will break? Well, I got stuck in between those tyres. And my mum decides to rescue me by crashing into me. The plan doesn't work, and she gets stuck too. Soon, every car got stuck. We spent 5 minutes of the 10 minute ride all bunched together. All coz of me. T.T That's why whenever the thought of driving enter's my mind, I imagine a massive pile-up. Real life's much worse than 20 angry people in bumper cars.

roseeyes: "Any specific reason why you have falling T's on your site?"
Eh? Falling T's? Those are supposed to be snow flakes? I wonder why you see T's? But now that you mention it, the snow flakes kind of look like six T's put together. ^^

sango87: "Its ok I would rant a couple days if my bf broke up with me then i'd get very depressed and then die." & "Where do you live again?"
I've been ranting for over a month. So it's time I stopped. ^^' If I don't stop, not only would it annoy everyone (including me), it'll turn into an obsession. In my case, anyway. (I tend to obsess about everything.) & I live in Sydney, Australia. It's summer and going into autumn now. It's strange, coz a lot of people's posts are about how cold it is with the snow and such. And I'm here sweating from the heat. ^^'

Jaguar: "But I think psychology might be a good side to have on that for an elective."
Yeah, I thought that if I understand people better, I'll be able to translate better too. I kind of see translators like a photocopy machine. You put in a Japanese text, for example, then hit copy, and the exact same thing (as humanly possible) comes out in English. I think that in the translation classes, we focus too much on the text, and not on the person who wrote it. So I thought that I should learn to understand the motivations behind writing the text, as well as the text itself. If my translation improves as a result of psychology, I'm right. If my translation stays the same, or becomes worse, then I was wrong. We'll just have to wait and see. ^^

Eeek! The posts becoming long again! So I'll leave it here with a picture of my cat. ^^ This is Luna and a lizard she caught:
