Well, I am slowly working on finishing up the last of te recap of my year of near silence, but I got to some tricky stuff that is upsetting to think about, so it's slowing me down. However, I am a trooper, an I will eventually get it all out.

( Work stuff! )

I finished reading Stephen King's A Wind Through the Keyhole today. Only took me 24 hours to read. It's a stand alone-ish piece from the Dark Tower. In it, Roland tells a story within a story. As ever, it reminded me of WHY I loved the series, the rich and plentiful mythos is a place I like to visit. My favorite things to read about in fiction ( Read more... )

I was going to post this weekend, but I got very caught up in things! Mostly, I spent the weekend unpacking, watching stuff on YouTube (TMNT 2 is on YouTube in it's entirety!!), shopping at Costco (booooo no poptarts!!), and I have no idea what I did yesterday. XD Did I even leave the house?

So, some updates!

I'm on a bus to Tokyo right now. I have an interview at 10 a.m. And then my flight leaves at 4:40 p.m.

I am excited and nervous about this holiday. YAY because I get to see all my friends and family at home (and I get to plan a friend's trip to Japan!), and nervous because OMG BRINGING THE BOY HOME.

But it'll be good. I love this guy, and I know ( Read more... )

So I owe the world a load of Dubai and Africa pictures, but I have been legitimately and seriously ill for the past month and a half. When I get home, all I want to do is forget my life, talk to the boy or escape into fantasy. Recently, the fantasy has been reading Stephen King novels--HOLY CRAP, It is AMAZING. It's like 20th Century Boys. Well ( Read more... )

...but that will have to wait until I get my pictures uploaded. I only just got back last night, after all.

Did any of you read last week's Naruto chapter? It was kind of glorious. I won't spoil anything other than to say neerner neener neeeeeeeeeneeerrrrr~!!! To the disbelievers. I feel so very validated, after five or so years of belief ( ( Read more... )

Finally headed to Africa!! After all these months of planning and paying money into thin air, I will finally reap the benefits of it all, and see some of the wonders of Dubai and the awesomeness of South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

I will post pictures to flickr (I'll leave a link here), with highlights posted to Facebook. It should be awesome, ( Read more... )

Just a heads up to all my Naruto friends--those who no longer read and those who still read.

I WAS RIGHT YOU GUYS. ALL THESE YEARS AND THROUGHOUT ALL THE MADNESS....

I.

WAS.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

More coherent thoughts later, when I am not waiting to hear how many paychecks I am going to owe HIS ti fly home for Christmas....

So I know it has been awhile since I posted to LJ, mostly because Facebook is faster and I really don't have time during my commute to post here anymore. I can happily say that my boyfriend and I are still ridiculously happy together (yay!), we are going to Disney together to celebrate our first anniversary together come November (a month early, ( Read more... )

Last August my Uncle passed away at the end of Obon. I couldn't go home for the funeral, which I think is something that that a lot of people would expect.

The news of the funeral was quite a blow to me. It was hard, I had just gotten back from Hokkaido, and was lamenting the fact that I had not bought a case of the special Hokkaido only Sapporo ( Read more... )
