ときょうはたのしいですね！
Greetings from halfway around the world :)
The plane ride was 12 hours long. Somehow I managed to keep myself entertained almost the whole time between naps... by reading the book herod_the_nut gave me for my birthday, and working on icons for Lumos LIMS, and writing some serious fic for the first time in a long time (PoTC-fic. Captain Jack/Tia Dalma. Wants to become multi-chapter when I had slated it for a one-shot. Why must some fics be so ambitious?).
I'm still pretty jetlagged, my internet will let me go anywhere BUT my e-mail, and the gas stations here freak me out, but other than that I'm dandy. My roommate, Jessica (yes, another Jessica. At least this one doesn't prefer to be called Jessie, or we'd have a real WTF on our hands) is a cool person with good taste in music. I spent this afternoon after program orentation walking down the Tokyo streets with 3 other girls (Amanda, Mara and Lee-Ann) and spending way more money than I'd intended, but I don't regret any of the purchases :P
....I can't remember what I was going to write next. Did I mention it's a 13-hour time difference from here and New York?
Hanging out with Amanda and Mara brought up the pirate/ninja controversy. Amanda has her foot in both camps, being a pirate-ninja. That is, a pirate with ninja-like skillz. And here I thought it was a ninja who drank a lot.
Speaking of drinking, I bought a beer from the grocery store just because I could. I wasn't even asked for ID. Take that, American drinking laws. I pwn your sorry ass.
