Yeah, I stopped reading for like 6 months. Can't fault you there. I'm trying to get back into a routine because I really do like feeling connected by reading LJ just... It can be hard to build back up the habit.
Captaaaaaain. ;-; Thank you. Maybe it will feel different when work starts back up again. Right now I'm stuck inside with no money to go out. When work starts up again I will be around humans and be able to take trips into Tokyo again. It's not all hopeless. It would be fun showing you Japan, though.
XD No need. When I got my health check for work this week and showed him that I'm like half a kilo less right now than I was last year he lost his leg to stand on. He can go on all he wants about his own weight, but I won't let him just make comments on mine anymore. He's really not as terrible about this as that entry made it sound.
I can't believe it made the news abroad! I guess when people realized it would pass by the nuclear plant, they went nuts, huh? No, it was just a really interesting storm. Nothing serious. It rained a lot. Lots of loud winds, etc. My apartment comes with storm shutters and those even helped block out the noise. The extent of the damage around here was a few broken branches and a lot of torn signs. The sky cleared up within a few hours of it's passing. It's bright and sunny right now!
Gaaaah, I am so easily distracted. I opened this in a tab, and... forgot. My brain is complete mush this week. I'm trying, really! And yes, LJ is a hard routine to build back up. Especially when there isn't infinite time to keep updating f-lists and such.
NUMBER ONEEEE!!!! *hugs* I'm sure things will look up when work starts again. Things to do and social interaction and money. I know it's not hopeless, but I hate that you feel isolated right *now*, ya know? I would love to see Japan anyway. It's on my List. I need to hit some other things on the list first, at least, that was the plan. I'm intending to hit L.A. next spring, after Costume Con. The Road Trip... it shall happen!!! I swear by it!
I'm glad you've got the boyfriend to back down. And even if it's not "all terrible," it still wasn't particularly nice... or appropriate.
And of course it made the news abroad. Americans are very easy to rile up, as you know, and any news of a storm going near damaged nuclear reactors (even if "near" means it'll weaken before it hits OR it'll hit the other end of the country) is enough to bump ratings on news networks. You know that's all that actually matters to the networks. But I'm still glad we got the news of it. It lets me know what's going on where my friends are. :)
I miss you, too. It's gorgeous fall weather here. A bunch of the crew randomly got together the weekend before last for a bonfire and the cooking of things on sticks over said bonfire. I wish you could have been there... but it's a long commute. When's the next time you're planning to come back to visit? ♥
Hah! Somehow it slipped my mind how much con world takes over vacation time and money. You rest easy. I can always show you around Tokyo in 20 years. But... =DDDD Road Trips!
The thing is, despite all his flaws and bad habits and occasional hurtful words, he does mean well. And he NEVER fails to address my concerns and make sure everything is righted. I don't know how I fell into a relationship like this, but I did.
Ah, fall. The typhoon season is only just starting here so it still feels like an endless summer. Two more days until I start work back up again. I miss things like bonfires and real fall.
Yeah, cons can definitely take over one's life if you're not careful. It's fun, but man, it's exhausting.
We never really know how we fall into relationships until it happens, and it's there. And a wise woman told me once, "It's not about finding the right person. Nobody's right. It's about finding someone who's the right kind wrong for you. It's about finding the person whose shit you can put up with for the rest of your life, because nobody's perfect... but they might be perfectly mismatched for you." :)
You miss bonfires and real fall, but... wouldn't you miss Japan if you weren't there? I was talking to my co-workers about how many Americans NEVER leave their hometowns. In all seriousness, there are people who have never ventured outside the county or town they were born in. In contrast, you've made it all the way across the planet, and you succeeded. There will be bonfires again. But for now... live the dream.

Keep up the good work, Capt'n.
