That's good to hear. And I must say, I love your new livejournal header. It's gorgeous.

I was planning on starting to play the cello or drums but that will take time.

Dayton looks pretty from the pictures I googled. So apparently Rob Dyrdek is from Dayton too (he's not someone that important, I just used to watch his show on MTV).

I have the same situation with my French. I can't speak properly but I can understand it well enough and it's been the only language I've been passionate about learning yet I had to stop my education in order to learn Italian to be of use *snort*.
Hahaha, I've done the same thing a few months ago. I was talking to on an online friend about how this actor Colin Morgan wrote "Je m'appelle _______ (co-star's name), je suis loser" notes and stuck them to his co-stars' doors while they were filming in France so that the maids would find them and laugh. I kept saying how funny it was because I assumed everyone knew what that basic phrase meant. The girl pretty much went blank and was like "Uh, what's that supposed to mean". Oh, my bad there.
