I am super gringe in person, Melina. You're probably better off pretending a person like me doesn't even exist. Even so, I still hope we two can get along.
Unfortunately, I just don't know enough Japanese right now to be able to pull that off convincingly... Japanese is a challenging language, you know? The thing I struggle with most is Kanji -- a beautiful character system, but so very different from anything I'm familiar with! That's fine, though... if the journey were easy then I think the destination wouldn't really have been worth working for in the first place.
