Best of
Most Memorable moments of 2005, by Josiah.
1) Meeting Rubi for the first time. Me and Kaiti both said in unison "she has a really nice style".
2) Getting naked and doing the naughty with Baker on Katie G's couch. Dad showed up right in the middle. It was funny.
3) Spilling the news to Candi that Donovan cheated on her.
4) Dressing in drag at Anna's with Janis there to photograph
5) Singing Filthy/Gorgeous all through town, and all through school with Lilly, Anna, Kaiti and whoever else.
6) Knocking everyone DEAD at Dramafest. MAD props you guys.
7) Meeting Kyle at Dramafest.
8) Running through the dorms at Dramafest with Kaiti dancing and singing
9) My weekdays of the summer spent in sweet sweet ecstascy with Kyle.
10) My going away party. I caught West Nile and we all got naked. Cheers.
11) My last supper with Lilly and Anna at the Spitfire Arms. We talked about everything from Mr.Woundy to... well, Mr.Woundy.
12) My last day with Kyle. I cried like a baby and Kaiti was there for me. Shes always there for me.
13) Having Kaiti, the coolest of the coolest there at the airport to see me off. I couldnt have asked for more.
14) Seing Brenden Doyle, exchange student to Taiwan at the gate at the airport. We were on the same flight to Toronto. It made everything better.
15) a 13 hour flight from Toronto to Tokyo that felt more like 5 minutes. Thank you Gameboy.
16) Landing in Tokyo and having no idea where to go or what to do. Everyone was going into some lineup, and I thought thats where I should go too, but the sign above the lineup said "Domestic arrivals" or something. The sign "International Arrivals" was vacant. I stood looking confused in my poppy read blazer and big fuzzy hair, until two caucasian people with big backpacks grabbed me by the arm and threw me into the lineup. I later found out they're from Canada, but were staying in Korea teaching English and this was their 2nd time to Japan. They're staying here long enough to make mad bucks to travel to their next spot. We exchanged e-mails and I parted ways. They were truely some divine ass intervention.
17) Landing at Komatsu, my final flight to hear screams from a parade of Japanese people "HARRY POTTER, HARRY POTTER!". About 20 odd people standing in the waiting area with a big banner with my name on it. I'd be travelling for 24 hours straight, my hair was like shit, my tye was lose, I was DRENCHED in sweat, I think I peed on my shoe (don't ask) and I'm sure my breath wasnt that great either. That didnt stop everyone from clammoring around me, and fawning over me.
I was in complete awe for about 2 weeks afer that.
18) Having spending money. Constantly.
19) Getting into a very personal, and most likely ever lasting relationship with my first host mom. She's like a second mom to me for sure.
20) Going to Hokkaido with the special ed class. Hahaha, they're not actually special ed, they're just the class for the kids that aren't quite as smart. They literally spoke NO English and I spoke hardly ANY Japanese. We managed to get along great, and I dont know how we managed 4 days together, but there was never a dull moment. Travelling with them was the best.
21) Renais resort with the other exchangers. Woot woot.
22) All my haircuts, Dvd searches and trips with the Katsuragi family.
I don't know what else to list here and I dont know what prompted me to do this. Tag me with anything I forgot to mention.
