they seem okay to use however i wouldnt use #7
its to avoid using "holy shit" wich is a curse word but....
you would sound very old fashioned using it.
its a phrase my grandmother would use : )

NEVER say holy kansas. that's just weird. a simple "wow" will do. Also don't say
yep too much because you will start to sound like you are 7 years old. "Yah" is probably better than yep.

I am a little late here, but I am very interested in this cake and Cowboy Bebop you speak of. If there is a good place to get cake (or sweets) in Tokyo it would be nice to hear your recommendation.
