Was ... pretty fantastic, actually. I'm not sure WHY, because all Friday the 13ths in the past have been bad, and yesterday ... wasn't.
*shrug* Ah well, I guess the gods smiled up on me! Or maybe it was the fact that I gave up both my shoelaces in order to tie a rock to the geocash my class made. We were going to sink it, but rocks on top of it wouldn't hold it under, so we needed string, and I said "oh, I've got shoelaces!" and then walked around for the rest of the day looking like a gangsta, even though I had sandals on hand.
On the ride back to school, my class was talking about really, really, REALLY gross things. Like those Furries who do it with each other, and people whose fetish is to be EATEN, and those people who dress up like babies to get it on ... *shudders* .... in an odd way it made me feel better about myself. I mean, I thought I was 'weird' for reading/writing slash, but clearly that's almost NORMAL compared to the rest of the world!
Also, on the way home a bunch of people behind me were eating gummy-octopi (like gummy worms, but instead of a worm and octopus) and they looked like Ood! I was giggling and saying 'oh my god, you guys look like Ood!' and nobody got it. *sigh* 'Tis a hard life for the lone Whovian.

Chan (ใกใใ, Chan?) is a diminutive suffix. It is an informal version of san used to address children and female family members. It may also be used towards animals, lovers, intimate friends, and people whom one has known since childhood. Chan continues to be used as a term of endearment, especially for girls, into adulthood. Parents will probably always call their daughters chan and their sons kun, though chan can be used towards boys just as easily. Adults may use chan as a term of endearment to women with whom they are on close terms.
Chan can be considered a feminine mode of speech in that it is used mainly by, or towards, females. Its pattern of usage is similar to using "dear" when addressing someone in English. Males would not use chan when addressing other males (other than very young children, or idiomatic cases like Shuwa-chan, described below).
"Pet names" are often made by attaching chan to a truncated stem of a name. This implies even greater intimacy than simply attaching it to the full name. So for example, a pet rabbit (usagi) might be called usa-chan rather than usagi-chan. Similarly, Chan is sometimes used to form pet names for celebrities. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained the nickname Shuwa chan in Japanese. Pet-names may also use variations on chan (see "euphonic suffixes", below).
Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan, a mode of speech normally only found amongst small children. For example, a young woman named Maki might call herself Maki-chan rather than using a first person pronoun.
The Japanese media use chan when mentioning pre-elementary school children and sometimes elementary-school girls.

Date: 2008-06-14 06:08 pm (UTC)No no NO, I'm not like that at all, I just realized that, in the grand scheme of things, liking slash isn't all that strange. People can fantasize about being eaten all they want, so long as they don't eat me!
