1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I think I tend to do so unconsciously. So, when I first meet someone and see what they wear, I probably guess even their personality. For example, honestly, if a girl wear like Gal, I get a little nervous and worried whether I can be good friend with her. It's because I don't wear clothes like they do, and my friends do not really wear like them either. The difference makes me nervous, I think. But, I know people wearing like that are nice. Hmm...It's kinda difficult to show my opinions. Have you felt the same way?
2 Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
I think so too because, to be homest, when I first saw Muslim covering their face except their eyes, I used to get nervous. I was just surrounded with terrible news like terrorism or war regarded to Muslim, but after I met a woman who believes Islam and had a lecture in our class last semester, I totally changed the wrong perception.
3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?
I did not really care about my clothes today, so they do not refledt my mood. But, when I feel happy, I wear pink, light green, or something light. When I have a presentation or speech, I want to look smart, so I choose black or white. Haha.
For discussion of friends
1. What are some subjects that you will never discuss with a friend?
I do not really think up because I talk about various things with my friends, for example, about family, future dreams, Japanese stupid politician ( except Susan's husband, of course!! ), economics, part-time jobs, and whatever. BUT!!! The topic depends on who I'm talking to. Some people are not interested in politics.
2. Do you have different friends for different parts of your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places? Give me some examples.
Yes, I do. I talked about just girls stuff with some friends. Off course, I like them and always enjoy hanging out with them. I also have friends who I talk about serious things with, such as the future. They always make me consider things more seriously and give me some advice.
When I think of one of my high school friends, I notice that the contexts that we talked about have been changing since we were in high school. Both of us had many experiences after graduation from high school, so we have our own ideas for any topics. Sometimes our ideas are different, but we can respect them. When I talk to her seriously, she always give me advice. So do I. She and I trust and respect each other. Also, we are very interested in having new experiences, so we taraveled to NY and Las Vegas together. I think she is definately my best friend forever.

hello!
I can understand how you feel about feeling nervous around people who dress completely different from you. I sometimes feel this way too. But one of my best friends dresses really strangely, and didn't stop us from becoming friends :)
Interesting comments. First about the language of clothes, I agree about unconciously judging, but feeling nervous about someone wearing a different style is something you need to be exposed to more different people. About Muslims, read "a thousend splendid suns" or "the kite runner" for views about the Muslim world, both are great books from the same author.
About talking with friends, I mean as you grow older and your interests and hobbies change, so do your circle of friends. I have my school friends, my pottery class friends, my US classmates etc. I talk about different things with them because their interests are different.
Good work!
I add more! Check it out:)
