I had always thought that よる was "night", but I didn't see that in the dictionary, so I just grabbed the first compound for "evening" that I saw :D

Sorry if anything else is confusing, I hope it's still comprehensible...

Cool! I only knew よる, ばや is probably a slang-ish way of saying ばん

Umm, actually, hajimemashite is used a lot in Japanese o.O and you can say it. It's not just a gentlemanly thing.

Damn...-_-

WTF? XD Is that person serious?

Also, how can you love Japan so much and not like "sushii"? I thought those kind of people adore it.

Sadly of course they're serious :D

Notice the subtle things - can tack on "kawaii" anywhere she wants, but writes "sweet things" instead of "お菓子". She doesn't translate Japanese for anyone because they'll find out her dirty little secret. I guess "sushii" is a personal choice, but what's not to like about fish and rice?

Yeah, I just looked them up on DeviantART and saw that they were serious. It made me laugh.

But, to be back on the original topic of the thread, I couldn't translate it mainly because I wasn't familiar with some of the words. My vocabulary isn't very good...Nor is any of my Japanese, really.

Just to join in and take a guess at this one.

"In the black(dark?) night, i tried to conceal myself in the rain, But in was not possible"

I'm not sure how far of I am on that one.

This is like THE most basic thing GRR! If you can't do this, your not learning because this is the first thing ANY textbook or DVD or whatever learning medium you learn will teach you along with わたしのなまえは。。 etc.

Don't think I'm not gonna give you a kawaiipockysugoi stamp across your forehead because your a mod.

You don't intimidate me in the slightest.

you know what? I'm really not in the mood for this crap....
