Just Me and My Blogger... in English

Today, I thought I would be productive, after booking a hotel in Kyoto for when my parents and brother come to Japan, and organizing all of my music after a complete PC overhaul, I felt motivated to continue on my drive. I went to the blogger site as I usually do to access my blog account only to find that it was all in Japanese. I have seen this happen a lot in the last couple of days because all of my old settings were lost. It was touch and go for a couple minutes when I couldn't read the Kanji to understand where to go to create a new post. Luckily, good ole' blogger hasn't failed me yet and the help section is still in English no matter what locale you are in! I guess my point is that even though I live in a foreign country and every day I am reminded of it in everything I do, somehow, when I am in my room, sitting at my computer, Japan becomes only a name and I remain an American, speaking English normally and scraping by in Japanese and a site dictated in Japanese still scares me more than a tarantula in my bed... and yet, for all its worth, I wish I could keep the settings in Japanese, just to prove to myself that I could do it.
