Clothes
1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I think its only natural to judge people based on what they wear, at least at first. I think humans are very visual, and with out communicating with a person in depth, all we have to try to understand is what we see. I think weather we like it or not, clothes communicate things about us to other people. And of course, people make assumptions based on clothing that may not be true. But as I said, I think its just a natural process.
2. Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging people from other countries?
I'm not really sure, but I think Japanese tend to place people from foreign countries in a special category. Generally it doesn't matter what I wear, I still get treated the same (that is as a foreigner). Even if I'm in a business suit, I get treated pretty much the same. At the same time, I think some Japanese see people from other countries as fashion trend setters. They look at movie stars and models from abroad and want to dress like them (even if those people might not be thought of as fashionable in their own country).
3.What colors are you wearing right now? Do they reflect your mood?
Dark blue, gray, black, olive green. I have not idea, but these are pretty much the colors of my wardrobe. I generally like cool tone colors which I guess shows how I'm a pretty mellow person and I don't like to stand out.
Friends
1.What are some subjects you will never discuss with a friend?
I don't know, I'm usually pretty open with people, friends especially. But I think my level of openness depends on how close I am with the person. For example I would tell my best friend from who I've know since we were children just about anything, but I wouldn't tell a friend from work the same thing. For me there are different levels I guess, that can change over time too. But there are some things I don't tell anybody, friends, and readers of this blog included!
2.Do you have different friends from different times in your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places?
Yes, for example i have friends from my home town and friends I made in college. Our conversations are always different because we have different things in common. For example when I talk with my friends from my hometown we usually talk about people we went to school with, or things going on in town or our own lives. People I met in college we usually talk about other people from college, or Japan (since most of my friends were also the same major). I think you generally make friends with people you share a common interest or experience, but that common interest/experience may be different for different periods of your life.

Hi!!
I agree with your number1 comments. I think we must judge only clothes or faces. It is the same that we often ask our friends," What is your most important point?" A lot of my friends say " I regard character as most important thing." But, I think that in fact, we can't judge only clothes. In fact, we regard only clothes.
About clothes.
Recently, some Japanese like Hollywood star or American celebrity and celebrity's fashion became popular in Japan. So some Japanese wear clothes like those celebrity.
About friends.
Surely,I agree with your comments. It is possible to speak deeply each other when I talk best friend. In short, it depends on the person and the topic.
I agree with your friends topic. I have some friends what I can talk anything, but I can't talk anything with my friends who work in same place. I think tere are almost no relationship ecept work.
I said "I have a some freinds～" but I can't talk everything, I have a secret so I can't speak all of me even my family.
