I love when your host family (whom you haven't yet met) emails you IN ENGLISH and it's not very good but it's the sweetest attempt and you know you have to reply IN JAPANESE. And you find out that even after two years of learning the language you still don't have the hang of typing it, and you acknowledge the fact that a handwritten letter would have reached them before you finished your email.
And then you're like WHOA THAT WAS A LOT OF SECOND PERSON.
I'm going to Sendai, which is in the Miyagi prefecture and holy shit it's a beautiful city. There are mountains everywhere, it's a two-hour fast train from Tokyo, and their speciality is cow tongue. XD and in all seriousness, they're so sweet and I seriously can't wait to meet them. But whoa was that email overwhelming because it's suddenly so real... seriously definitely happy to be going 8D
(In other news, I finished Good Omens. Um. Seeking out fandom faster than the speed of light. I need more Crowley and Aziraphale, not that they weren't gay enough in the book but I still need mmmmmore, I need more horsepersons of the apocalypse, I might even need more Them because I miss Them already... I think I'm in love with everyone in that book ever...)
good omens,
