I am glad someone mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you'd think I was weird for putting stock in body language. I've been boring different things that I've read etched for the best couple of weeks. Yes, she has the pupil thing. It's a well lit area, like anywhere, and either her eyes are just like that

I'm unsure whether or not I'm glad that what is bothering you is outside of my control.

Let's see what's on the good old clipboard:

When the colours of morning have faded away
And you don't know where the road is leading
The edge of the sky turns from blue into grey
And there's nothing to ease the pain
When you're losing your way in the rain.

Oooh, I never cease to amaze myself ;D

Quote from: WikipediaChan
Chan is a diminutive suffix; it expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. In general, chan is used for babies, young children, grandparents and teenagers. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, any youthful woman, or between friends. Using chan with a superior's name is considered to be condescending and rude.

Although, traditionally, honorifics are not applied to oneself, some people adopt the childish affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan (childish because it suggests that one has not learned to distinguish between names used for self and names used by others). For example, a young woman named Kanako might call herself Kanako-chan rather than using a first person pronoun. However, it only applies to people who have known each other for a long time and between people of the same gender. Otherwise, using this for someone, especially adults, only known for a short period of time, can be seen as offensive. Chan can also be used to refer to a peer that is female. Example: Naomi calls her friend Kari-chan.

Quote from: sci.lang.japanChan

Chan is a form of san used to refer to children and female family members, close friends and lovers. The change from san to chan is typical of a kind of "baby talk" in Japanese where "sh" sounds are turned into "ch" sounds, such as chitchai for chiisai, "small".

Chan is also used for adults who are considered to be kawaii (cute). For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained the nickname Shuwa-chan.

Chan is sometimes applied to male children if the name does not fit with the kun suffix. For example, a boy called Tetsuya may be nicknamed Tetchan rather than Tekkun for reasons more to do with phonetics than anything else.

Although it is usually said that honorifics are not applied to oneself, some women refer to themselves in the third person using chan. For example, a young woman named Maki might call herself Maki-chan rather than using a first person pronoun like watashi. Chan is also used for pets and animals, such as usagi-chan.
