Ring, as in The Lord of the Rings? Read the first book, watched the first two movies.
^^; If that's not what you're talking about, then. . . i don't get it.
-sorry for the triple post, I kept getting cut off-
And reply on my wall so I know when you posted. I never realized that you had replied until I checked your visitor wall. . . That and getting the little message that says "you have visitor mail" feeds my delusions that I'm not just some lonely girl in a foreign country *-_-*
I almost went to Korea, too, since it's just a jump across the Japan sea, and the Yen was doing so well against the Won that would have been the equivalent of about $300 for a five day, round trip to go romping around in Korea land, but alas, I no longer have room in my budget for such extravagances ;_;...
@_@ And I had know idea you lived in Louisiana! Or maybe I did at one point way back, but now age deteriorates my memory. I've romped around there to visit family a while back, but that was before all the Katrina mess. Is it still wonky in the pelican state? And do I sense anxiety about moving (har, or the complete opposite since you call it the "accursed" place)?
^^ I go to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, good old Tar Heels -tear- and don't even mention worthless BA's. . . my adviser has pretty much told me from the beginning that a linguistics bachelor's is nice, but if I want to actually do anything in the field, I'm going to need a Master's, at least.
Yay, for an additional four years of school.
As for Japan, the giant robots are a lie (I'm reminded of a man wearing a cardboard box with the words "I am GUNDAM!!!" scribbled in crocked, childlike letters on the front), but the maid cafes are quite real. I prefer the 執事 (man maid *^^*) cafe's more, though. Cute guys in uniform serving and calling me princess is a little more relevant to my interest. That's not to say that the regular maid cafes are lacking in any way. . .
What university did you go to in America? Yeah, I spent all of my college time at the state university here in Louisiana. I just graduated with my worthless BA and it's a wee hard to not be filled with Lovecraftian-psychosis-inducing-regret about the entirety of the affair. It'd be peachy if I could be a freshman again knowing what I know, but alas, the annoyance of time ruins that fantasy.
Oh, and I'm just a sporadic person. I'm bored at my parents' house (they're selling the cursed place) and when I get back to Baton Rouge, I'll probably be so infatuated with finding a job that I won't have time for idleness! But the best laid plans...
Hrm, I almost went to Korea for a while. How is Japan/what are you doing/do they really have giant robots and maid cafes?!!?!
Pretty awesome, if I may say. I've been studyig abroad in Japan since Septmber of last year, and I'm due back in the states in about another month. I'm gonna miss it here, but I'm at the point where I miss home and my old uni far more.
And why only for the moment? You better not be thinking of running away again mister (hah, look who's talking)! Not when I was just thinking of revamping rusty old Nyxus. . .
