About Me:

I​ wish to make friends with person all over the world.
However, especially those in UK are welcome, since I wish to get to be better in English, which might seem a little selfish motive to you.

Of course, I am interested in a little stiff topics such as what history you country has, how is the economy in your country going in this subprime crisis, what political issues are at stake in your country, which novel do you like and why.

But, what I like best to know is how people are living in your area, how is your district in this changing phase of the seasons, and such kind of things.

I am happy if you give me a drop of mail with a light heart.

Requests:

none

Language Exchange Requests:

I​ am a proficient user of Japanese as a native speaker
I can probably answer your question of grammar in Japanese, if you ask for grammatical explanation of your writing. I am, however, not a grammar teacher, so when your question is technically,​ I might not be able to answer your question sometimes. Then forgive me.

My English writing is subtly poor; I make many mistakes in grammar; since I'm not a native, I don't know whether an expression is commonly used one or not.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Read​ing novels, newspapers and other books
writing English sentences here
getting to know how to write better sentences
(Now, I'm reading "Style"​ by Williams)

Favorite Music:

No​ singer to whom I am addicted to.
But, I sometimes listen to CD of baroque music and short pieces in violin.

Favorite Movies:

Lass​ie (2005) and  The Queen (2006) are the movies I watched recently to find interesting.​ I like movies so much and have ever watched a lot, however, feel it difficult to chose some specially since I am awfully forgetful. But, I am inclined to like movies with a gentle mood.

Favorite TV Shows:

Medi​um-Allison DuBois 3. I am expecting the fourth of that will be set to air in April next year.

Favorite Books:

"Luck​y Jim" (Amis), "Ginger​, You're Barmy,"​ "How Far can You Go,"(Lo​dge), "Down and Out in Paris and London"​ (Orwell), are works letting me recollect my university days.
  
Also, I have read most recently, "Pride and Prejudice,"​ during reading which I felt much happy and excited to turn the pages and find out the next happenings  

Translations​ allowed to be included in the list, I was fond of some scientific fictions: "the Door into Summer,"​ "Starsh​ip Troopers,"​ (Heinlein), "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"​ (Philip K. Dick), "the Forever War" (Holdman)

Favorite Quotes:

In​ the book I've read recently, I found the following part of that much funny. Elopment of her elder sister Lydia should be the disaster to all of Mary's families, since no gentleman wish to have as his wife those with untidy sister. But, Mary doesn't feel it her own problem, and is talking proudly about lessons she got from the elopment.

Lydia's elopment should have been astounding and much dishonest event for all her families. Her mother got sick in bed, and her father had gone all the way to London to find her.  But, instead of worrying about her sister and reputation of her family, her sister Mary irrelevantly​ argued moral extractions from this unhappy event and  (perceiving in Elizabeth no inclination of replying) she added,

'Unhappy as the event must be for Lydia, we may draw from it this useful lesson: that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievabl​e–that one false step involves her in endless ruin-that her reputation is no less brittle than it is beautiful,- and that she cannot be too much guarded in her behavior towards the un deserving of other sex.'

Elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement, but was too much oppressed to make any reply. Mary, however, continued to console herself with such kind of moral extractions from evil before them.
