Considering highschool is an awkward growing phase, I totally get when kids do that sort of stuff, lol. I was the same way, and had a lot of friends who were that way, too. It's high school! Who cares! I already had difficulty establishing/maintaining relationships, so loving any sort of fiction or character didn't add or take away from this. But yes, this stuff /does/ get weird after someone has grown into the person they'll most likely end up being for the rest of their lives.

the best thing you can do for your style is not being afraid to wear what you want to wear because life is too short and the most important person to please is you

From my learning experience, it's good to get the basics down without kanji. Then you can incorporate them using context. An example would be my first year Japanese class: in chapter 1-3, we didn't learn kanji so that we could focus on basic sentence structure and the phonetic alphabets; but in chapter 4 and onward, we started adding kanji with context. This means learning kanji as a word, not the kanji itself due to various reading. Personally, I find that method to be the best way to learn kanji. Oh, and picturing the kanji as a picture helps too!

Hopefully, this is the one that'll stick. If you're a Linux user, what made ya switch over? What keeps ya here?
