(no subject)
so, i've been in the big ol US for 8 days now and while i'm enjoying the change of scenery, i want to be back in Tokyo so bad... mostly because I have so much I still want to accomplish and I feel I'm being dragged into time off that i really don't want to take. but, i've been able to go treasure hunting at some goodwills/value villages and consignment shops, and i've been getting some time to reflect on what i want to do. oh, and i might actually get published in london! and i'm going to do a cover and editorial for a free paper here in washington~ once i actually get published, i will be able to run down and get business cards that have the title "stylist" on them... i gaven't til now because i can't actually say i've done anything except play around.
but on the other front, ive been able to bond with my younger brother who managed to expel the energy to speak to me a whopping two times while i was gone for 16 months. he sits at the computer late at night writing screenplays because he want to be a screenwriter. he said he has never shown anyone his screeplays, but i took one up to my room and started reading it and he didn't throw a fit. i hope its a sign that he respects me even a little bit :/
the first day i was here i went to red robin and saw 3 people i went to junior high with.. two of them were my servers and they both have two-year-old sons *dies* and one is in nurse training... i went to silverwood, which is a theme park, and saw a friend named lindsey who was pregnant with her *second* child. i guess getting pregnant is the only thing to do in a small town?! >_>;;
ive been watching tons of movies (constantine, hitch, phantom of the opera [ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ], vanity fair, finding neverland, secret window, the jacket, ALIAS season two, and final cut). im kinda disappointed in the movies lately... the ONLY movie i saw in the theater in 16 months in tokyo was lemony snickett and that was stupid so i didn't go back. i was thinking about going to see the island but i hear its stupid... i *do* want to see charlie and the chocolate factory tho no one wants to go with me >_<
i couldnt get on insurance for the car so i'm stuck at home all day... good thing i leave in a week >_>; ive had SO many doctor/dentist appts... family doctor, dentist, orthodontist,opthamologist,arthritis doctor (i did some tests and they think i might have rheumatoid... ;_;) . but ive been using the time to look through some old stuff... i opened the time capsule my brother and i made 9 years ago for the first time... it was almost all junk (haha).. although i was able to answer a few more questions i asked myself in my diary i threw in:
"is michael jackson still popular?" (i think this was the year he did that big supe bowl halftime show and everyone loved him including me)
NO..t really
"has the electric car been invented?"
YES though its not as prevalent as i would like
some things never change...
"have aliens landed?"
uh...not that i know of.
"is there a woman president?"
not yet... though i imagine soon? (hopefully)
everyone said i would have reverse culture shock but i'm fine... perhaps because i know im going back. if i was just staying here i would be SUPER depressed... i am a little surprised at the size of the average american.. they seem to be pretty good in california and then get bigger the further north you go. i was looking at pictures of myself from a couple years a go and i was pretty chubby, which is something i NEVER thought of myself before. but other than that, i'm all good...haven't used japanese at all, ill sound like a dork for a while when i get back. but yeah... i'm gonna go to the beach now and hide from the sun with my 50SPF and visor and umbrella. ciao~
