Kana is a funny name for a guy......

Funny stories ahead. A lot has happened recently good and bad, but we're just going to pretend they didn't happy as they are not blog friendly....as in they are long and ranty and I am tired of rants.

Today after almost 2 weeks of not talking to students I climbed a mountain with them. It's normally a monthly ritual but due to meetings and me not being here for whatever such reason I havn't climbed the mountain in awhile.

So it took a smidge to get into the groove. I decided to climb with a class who is rather genki in my classes, oddly I got stuck between two really quiet girls and two really loud girls, somehow this lead to no conversation happening.

After about 15 minutes of not talking I was getting tired of not talking, the kids generally won't talk to me unless I initiate it and I normally do. For some reason it felt weird to suddenly start talking when I hadn't for so long. Ah shame you are the ban of teachers.

finally I told to the two insanely quiet girls, who literally walk in step together and are clearly good friends, yet had failed to say a word to one another in the entire trip "are you always so quiet?" Of course they dont understand this, its rather a complex phrase. So I say the understandable, "no talking?" and they understand. They don't respond to this though, they just laugh and smile to one another. So I think, telepathy? So i ask, "Do you use telepathy?" And they respond, "oh yes, telepathy!" Telepathy sounds hard but I used these words on purpose, because I know in Japanese the word is "telepathy"

Right after this short interlude they once again go into silent mode. They are a freaky pair, they never talk, even to one another yet they are attached by the hip to one another. I swear when they walk, they walk at the exact same pace! It's creepy, its like they march to one another beat, literally. Good for them.

Anyhow eventually I get two girls to talk to me. I talk to them about music, and whatever they can understand, and eventually it lands up on their club. Clubs in my school are hard core and they are always a source of conversation.

It later breaks into favorite music, then actors, then of course the boys they like. The other never fail subject. I know a lot of people in their club since I used to visit the club all the time, also thanks to my memory I remember a lot of their names, and them.

So they start talking about upperclassmen they like. And honestly in their club the guys arn't that hot. But, they go on about so and so, who has a nice smile, and so and so who is good at kyudo, etc. Finnally one girl goes, "I love kana sempai" And I think...which boy had the name kana? Then she says the last name and I realize, oh the girl?!

"Kana, in 2-2 kumi" and she agrees with a " I love, I love" So the other girl chimes in, "No, No, 2-5 kana is cute! I love insert last name here-> kana" And then it becomes a bizzaro engrish argument about which kana is made out of more love. In the end they agree "both are cute" of course by this time the English has stopped and I just know this by listening to their Japanese.

Does this mean they are lesbians.....no, not at all in fact. In Japan, its just so normal to one second be talking about the guys you love, and then talk about the girls you love and find cute. Oh Japan, your so silly.

Also, jersey sounds like Georgie to ALL my students. Hilarious as the Japanese word for jersey is Ja-ji, so how does jer-z sound MORE like georgie? Oh well. Silliness as always.
