So the compilations of weekly or monthly manga serial issues are called tankoubon in Japanese.

Is it appropriate to use that term for the English compilation volumes?

I've never heard it used that way, but I don't see why not...

I hear "tankoubon" used a lot in place of "volumes." Knock yourself out.

...this is anime fandom. You aren't saying "desu desu kawaii lol." That makes you a freaking genius.

I still have U.S. History and Physics to go (Tuesday and Thursday, respectively), but I've finished up English and Math B, which weren't so bad. Free for a few months, I am. Maybe now I can write something.

I sat down the other day and drafted up something for the [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon, but I haven't written anything SDK-related in ages. I should. I have two stories I want to write and one I need to finish.

You outline! Finally, someone else who does!

I use tankoubon mostly for Japanese stuff, but sometimes I slip up and use it for English ones and nobody I know looks at me funny... and I've heard people call them "tanks."

I like that word "tanks" (I say it like tahnks) I grew up watchin war movies, so that word fits much nicer into my vocab by volumes (I MADE A PUNNY!) then "volumes". I dont like that word, I say it funny (I say ALL WORDS funny...I think we've established that already here). People think Im talking about valium...then I get funny looks from the people at the bookstore. So, I had to resort to changing how I ask for copies of manga I cannot find to keep people from thinking Im trying to buy drugs...and if you thought volume was a bad enough word for me...try understanding samurai deeper kyo comming out of my mouth. I say samurai pretty damn funny. Its like Sam-rye...*runs and hides in shame*
How do I always end up so off-subject. It's all your fault Chomiji! You're so likeable!

Im such a mixture of accents its hard to be sure. My Dad's family is from West Virginia, Mom is from Northern Wisconsin (where I grew up a wee bit) and parts of Ohio are very accent-prone...so its a funky mixture. Its like a northern southerner mixed with eddie izzard (cause I sound kindve drunk when I talk). I say some things like a east coast girl like caw-fee, but then some of the things I say are very southern like ya'll and some of the things I say come out very far north like so-da or how I say wisconsin. I love the pure New York accent, its got spice! I love accents! My favorite would be the Irish, then the British (I love the BBC!). Girl, I am the queen of off-topicness, LOL dont feel bad! If everybody were always on topic the world would be too predictible! Variety is the flavor of life, drink up!
