i like to be under the sea
It was surprisingly difficult to type *livejournal.com* into the search bar, but finally I:m here. (Pretend all the colons are apostrophes, by the by.)
How is everyone? For me, life is good. I:d been feeling pretty depressed / ambivalent about the whole situation up until to-night, when a bunch of us went out for karaoke. Way too much fun, srsly. :D It:s really cool here, because you rent a room where you can pick all the songs yourself and order food (and get free drinks), so it:s all very fun and comfortable, unlike a karaoke bar.
The rest of to-day was actually quite good, aside from the boring English class I had no choice but to attend. In the morning, we had a very awkward couple of hours chatting with Japanese students one-on-one, but it was actually a lot of fun. You know THE GAME (which I just lost, and so did you)? I successfully taught it to a girl I was talking to! At least, I think it was successful, based on her reaction, and I very much hope she will spread it to her friends so the epidemic can claim many more lives. You know, it:s surprisingly difficult to explain such a simple concept in another language.
While we were waiting around doing nothing, the television was playing Beatles songs, to which Alan and I sang along. It was funnn. And now I:ve been on the computer for a long time, so I probably ought to get off so as not to keep poor Rino from going to sleep. I:ll be able to respond regularly-ish now, maybe, so -- well, yeah... Larisa, I:ll tell Bekka to email if I remember to-morrow.
When I get home, I:m going to type up a detailed account of the entire trip, whether or not anyone is interested. ;P Until then, ta-ta, and I love everyone. How:s summer?
