Ugh I'm working up to it. I certainly think living here helps, but weirdly enough it's my weak point. I can't wait to get to that level at which I can read a novel.

Hey MMM, how many do you know?

I'm just gonna put myself at 300 or so. I certainly can't write even a quarter of that, though. Not that anybody (even Japanese) can write them anymore thanks to technology... actually a lot of Japanese people I know are pretty embarassed by this.
