I do 12 hours any night I don't have to get up the next day. Without my alarm, my internal clock doesn't get me going until well after noon, and even then I usually just say "fuck it" and roll back over for another 2 to 3 hours.
I can't sleep for that long. First, I have problems falling asleep to begin with. I usually toss and turn for hours then I find something else to do and get out of bed. If I ever try sleeping for more than 7 hours my body wakes up. Stupid body. It's even worse when I drink I can only sleep like 4 or 5 hours.
My god, Tens! Did you know that children of an age between six and ten have heightened interest in feces, even dreaming about it? It's important in some way but i really wouldn't know how or why, bah! ...
My girlfriend is going to make me go to a choir concert later. I don't want to, but if I don't she'll probably punch me in the face. So if I don't wanna get punched in the face, I need to go. God fucking dammit.
I once saw an elephant piss a fucking river. This thing must have dumped out like 50 gallons of piss and it was torrenting out of his cock like a broken levee in New Orleans. I stood there for minutes, staring at this elephant while he pissed on and on and on and on.
Want to learn a few thousand kanji.... Should I? Should I not? I wonder....
I knew 1700 for a while. Then I forgot. Japanese forget too. Knowing 1700 kanji doesn't give you too much, you need to know 80,000 combinations of them that form actual words.

Given it's so complicated, I'm curious if it'll die out.
No really, this is honest curiosity. Do you have any idea on how long you think it's going to survive?
Ed: Any by dieing out I mean losing to simpler languages e.g. english.

Chinese is, also compared to Japanese, very simplefied and it's one of the longest-lasting languages in the world... well, on the other hand that means it had the time to develop into what it is now. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
Is English difficult to those who speak Japanese or Chinese? With all of those symbolic combinations, I'd think it would be easy. The weaboos say they learn it faster, but then again, they're weaboos.
English/Latin-influenced languages are based on another system, getting used to that is pretty much the hardest thing, and luckily english is far more easygoing than, say, french, so i assume that it would be easier to learn english for an asian than it would be for an english-speaker(or basically anyone speaking an inflected language) the other way around. But as said, english is comparatively easy. I think learning an agglutinal language is generally easier since it relies more on knowing many words/combinations rather than overcomplex grammar.
Urgh, sorry for the long post, i was kinda in the flow.
