I ate so much sushi that I'm a bit out of breath and my heart is pounding. But it's not such a bad feeling. Actually, it was probably the car ride home after that made me hurt! I think I ate 15 pieces? And I mean the real piece of fish ones, not your wimpy tiny maki ones or American style rolls ( Read more... )

My parents came to visit me and we went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Hiroshima. Kyoto was so utterly amazing. I want to go again, but I'm not sure when. Hiroshima and Nara were great too. I petted tigers and elephants in Thailand and I finally have gotten to pet deer. They are very forward and will attack you for deer crackers ( Read more... )

Geez, I forgot to pay my internet bill for five measly months and the company totally overreacted and shut down my account ;)

It's annoying to pay, though. You get the bill in the mail and then take it to a convenience store and pay in cash at the register. I had a little pile that I meant to get around to paying. Oh well, my internet is back now

The cutest, most heartwarming thing happened today! We were playing four corners in my 2nd grade class. Basically, the kids run to one of the room's four corners that corresponds to a new vocabulary word. Then, if I call out the name of their corner, the kids who picked it have to sit down. The winner is the last one standing. Anyway, the smallest ( Read more... )

So this song is really popular in Japan and I was starting to get annoyed hearing it everywhere. But then I concentrated on and then looked up the lyrics and omg! Don't watch this while pmsing!!

I swear, whoever wrote the simplified lyrics for my schools' version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a genius and I want to shake his/her hand. It starts out the same: "We wish you a merry Christmas x3. And a happy new year." But then: "Lets all do a little clapping. Lets all do a little clapping. Lets all do a little clapping. And spread ( Read more... )

I'm going to Mississippi in 10 days! And then I go to New York on the 28th! I'm am SO SO excited. There are so many things I need. Pants that fit! Decent painkillers! Shaving cream that doesn't cost $5 for a small bottle! But most importantly, deodorant. I just ran out today. Luckily, I have some mega-duty, hardcore anti-perspirant but you're only ( Read more... )

Tokyo is hotter than hell!

When I get a free moment, I'm going to start a new, more censored blog that'll talk about my time in Japan. I'll allow anyone to read it and comment without being on my friends list but please add me. I'll post the link soon :)

I just saw Passing Strange and it blew me away. The ending made me tear up and I had to hug my mom, which made her happy as a clam but embarrassed the hell out of me, lol. You'll understand why if you see it. We waited outside to get our programs signed and Colman Domingo hugged me when I told him how much I liked the show and that it touched me ( Read more... )

Does anyone like Coldplay? Are they good live? They're playing in NYC on Monday.

I went to Blue Note last Friday and saw Dr. John tonight. Had a lot of fun at both concerts. Went for a boat ride on Sunday and now I'm really excited to be living by the ocean soon!
