In conversations, I tend to say the word "actually" a lot. In writing, I say "in actuality" a lot. XD

Don't remind me. -_-

I remember seeing a documentary of this guy (forgot the name of the person and documentary) being interviewed and I swear, the end of every sentence, he says "y'know what I'm saying?".

Just one of my pet peeves. Especially "like, you know, like I was there, like..."

Oh god. I remember on my last research paper I used the term "he" 7 times in 2 sentences. I don't really use the term a lot so when my professor pointed it out it was a major wtf moment. I'm quite sure there are other terms I do use frequently in my writing and speaking but I can't think of them at the moment.

Verbal tics/habits are common in most people. Guess it depends on the reach of your vocabulary, maybe. Living in California, "like" is the most overheard filler word in existence. It's dieing down a bit, before people go back to saying "Uh...", "So...", and "Ya-know?" for extra thinking time.

A pet peeve of mine is writing a paper and I realize that I should stop using "She/Her...", so I go with "[Name]/[Name's]". Back and forth every couple sentences, and I feel like I'm being uncreative.

I also mentioned this before, but does anyone know where Hisao lived before his heart attack? No major cities come to mind when I think of a snowy area where Iwanako confessed to him. I don't think winter reaches Shibuya Square very much, and it's unlikely Hisao's the type of person to live there...

Sounds to me like a rerun of Jerry Springer on 'Southside gangstas and their bitches' day.

I believe Hisao mentioned at some point it was a city near Tokyo.

That said, I always thought Hisao subconciously copied that tic from Rin. I remember her saying similar stuff at some point.

I thought Hisao mentioned "Hakkido" or something to Lilly when he first mer her and was asked where he was from?

I think Hakkido is the small town where Lilly's summer house is. I could be wrong though, it's possible Hisao said he lives near there. But if I recall correctly I remember him saying that he hasn't been that far north on the trip up there so I'm not so sure about that.

I think you're right.

He is right.

(Yes, I only have 96% completion. Rin's path is just so confusing >_>)

Heh, Hokkaido isn't the name of the town, but the name of the island it's on. Hokkaido's actually the second-largest island in Japan. I'm not sure if the town itself was named.

Well this is awkward... *checks Wikipedia*... yep. I know literally nothing about Japan.

Stop using this word. It does not mean what you think it means.

And I'm pretty sure the town itself wasn't named.
