a message from the dead....
first, I wnna say how sorry I am for disappearing for 10 months. I moved to mixi but then I did nothing on mixi and then I moved to myspace but did nothing on myspace, and now im on livebook, tagged, iqons, blahblahblah...and still do nothing on any of them except log in a read if anybody else is doing anything interesting.
not to say im not doing anything interesting.
I graduated from bunka fashion college in march, with the Dean`s award, natch. Also appeared as a model in the final show.
Got a job with my friend Gen`s company, as a project assistant. Thats a nice way to say secretary/personal assitant/admin exec/project manager all in one. I almost didnt get a visa. Had to ask a friend who runs a fashion business to get me one. My company i fucked up, I it keeps me on my toes but I deal with millions and millions of dollars in deals and i have NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK IM DOING. I also have to be in an office in shibakoen 9-6 everyday. IM A FUCKING O.L. I get paid 300,000 y/m tho and for a new grad its not bad. Im just in a rut in my day-job and it is only going to get harder..the only room for growth I have is in finance. Do I want to do that??
But in other news, I am the fashion columnist for The Japan Times Newspaper. check it out, yo www.japantimes.co.jp search for misha janette . been doing that since may...I am also in charge of covering the fashion shows every season. front row everytime, baby. That keeps me in the industry---and far more connected than styling ever did, although not nearly as creative.
I went to Mexico with my family (cabo san lucas to be exact) in march before I started working. Was only in my hometown for two days...very rushed but nice to see the fam.
I also went to las vegas three weeks ago. My mom flew down from spokane, and 3 of my best childhoos friends came in (one is married, one engaged, one just chillin) and had the best time EVER. las vegas is rad. I got to hang in VIP with coolio and danny masterson (from that 70s show) at PURE and we went club0hopping and went to danny`s suite which was from the Rain Man movie. Also saw ashanti and nelly. las vegas is crazy.
I ended up debuting as a talento. I was on a variety show every week for a few months this summer. I was a designer/stylist and hung out with oguro yuko(aka yukorin) and hanawa and akimasa haraguchi. They took us to Hong Kong and Macau for the grand opening of the venetian hotel. biggest hotel in asia. I designed a dress and obi and made it for the show- 6,000$ worth of materials---and got to walk the red carpet etc...was an amazing experience.
Next I want to go to europe. thinking about december. if I can afford it/get time off (uh..both are pretty big deals).
My roommates both left. My brazilian RM got deported in sept (bad attendance at school). The american girl left the beginning of this month. I ended up paying for oct myself (holy shit, a lot of yen)but i think i have found a new one who is coming the first week of nov. from washington DC. I have been spending the entire MONTH at the apartment enjoying being alone/cleaning things up. but now im starting to get really lonely and depressed ad i know why i have always wanted to have a roommate in the first place. I will have an extra room with enough area to sleep. if anyone wants to crash, the space is there.
I have no BF...not even someone I am interested in. THe EX`s ex-wife got pregnant wit another actor two weeks after we broke up, and married him. subsequently both my ex and this other guy debuted as brothers on the same drama 10 years ago. My ex then started dating another actress and are now living together (but hardly see each other, apparently). And I hear most of this news on the morning TV. lovely. tried to be friends with him, but its not working. movin on...
had a great friend I met this summer, we were like soul mates talking for hours,hanging out and partying like crazy everyday. then he went back to NYC to finish college at columbia. my best friend zanna moved to australia for good recently, and my mentor has quit her company and is planning on moving to shanghai or france. WTF...maybe its time for me to leave, too?!
I have been riding my bicycle to work back and forth 35 minutes each way everyday. Also exercise when watching tv. I have huge thighs and muscly arms but feel good. Gained a bunch of weight after vegas...trying to get back into shape.
I wan to say especially sorry to seifaiden who sent me a wonderful card that i have had in my purse for MONTHS and meant to write back. and i cant believe how much everyone`s life has changed in these past 10 months. I don`t know if I will continue to write, but even one entry is better than none. IM STILL ALIVE.
