(4) I'm sure that sometimes, I can be distastefully sexual...but that's a part of me, just like everything else that makes me up. I can't take myself out of it without feeling as though I am repressing myself. I'm sorry it bothers you; I do try to censor myself as much as I can, which goes against my own beliefs that I should be able to say what I like however I like within the confines of this journal. If you would like, I can block you from any entries in which I do go a bit overboard.

(5) Grant got his ability to speak Japanese as well as he does by quarantining himself away from all non-Japanese people...I mean all. Even now, he doesn't really talk to anyone besides Japanese people...he rather shuns everyone else. Thus, I admire him for his ability, but I disagree with how he went about gaining it. As it applies to you, I admire people who have values and stick to them. Even if I don't agree with all of them, the fact that someone lives by and adheres to a set of morals and values in this day of rampant hedonism impresses me - you and I have already shared ideas regarding the value of temperance, etc...temperance is a virtue I not only admire, but agree with. Certain other values of yours, such as your strict adherance to Catholicism, while I may not be able to agree with it because it conflicts in minor ways with my own personal beliefs, I can still admire you for adhering to what I believe is the best of the Christian denominations.
