Stupid, Stupid, Stupid
This is what happens when you are playing with your hair while walking down wooden steps in slippers:
Yes, that is my leg shot at a weird angle. Yes, I managed to fall down my host family's stairs and almost kill myself. I managed to get away with a big bruise on my ankle, and a split knee. Nothing serious, and the magical white things you see on my leg made it possible for me to walk around Harajuku today. I still feel embarassed though. Scared the bejeesus out of Tomoko-san and her mother, and they were very kind and patched me up. STUPID. *smacks self on head*
This is how crowded Harajuku is on a Sunday. Fear the masses, for they will swallow you like....I dunno, something that is swallowed and never escapes. Like people into whales.
If that didn't convince you, I am sick. Thus I didn't feel well the entire trip. I whined, tried to eat Takoyaki, couldn't, and had to dispose of it. I also felt faint and feverish on and off. It was sad times. Allie made me feel better saying their putting up with me was "amae". She and Amanda make me feel loved. ^ ^
There are greasers in Yoyogi park every Sunday. They dance to 50s tunes, and pose for pictures. They are the definition of cool. My only wish was that I knew how to swing dance, so I could show off and be all American.
Bought some gifts for home, and managed to have a good time, despite the sickness. Ate a crepe, and went home early, before Loovee.
Bought Tomoko-san and her mother a carnation each for Mother's Day and as a thank you for helping me so much last night. They deserved them too, because mothering was done concerning the kids. This is such a normal household, it's comforting. Couldn't have dreamed up anything better. Except all of us being continually sick. That sucks.
Was really homesick today. Had a little trouble with the finances, as in forgetting to do something, and was stressed over that. I hate forgetting important things, it makes me feel silly. All I wanted was a little time with my parents, to feel a little better and more secure. I swear, if I didn't have such a caring host family, I would fall apart at the first sign of a strong wind. *sighs* Off to read more "Dear Prudence". *is an addict*
