Wow, Totally neglected updating this thing...
...just like I thought I would haha.
I've kinda been busy and all with school and all my buisness but I thought since I have time, and since I dont always get to talk to people that may read this that I would give a lonnnnggg update on what has happened since forever ago~
It's been 4 months since I've moved here to Fukuoka Japan for school and so far so good? I've had my little moments of wanting to go home and what not but all in all this is a great expierence for me. I've met all kinds of people, had a lot of fun, and am in general enjoying the place I live (Even if it is getting hella freaking cold.)
Last I updated was in August at some time, right when I had come home from Korea after meeting up with my family for a really nice little family reuniuon whilst we got my sister situated in her dorm. Since then there's been all kinds of stuff going on so I'll try and recap as much as I can though I've probably forgotten a majority of it since...yeah that was a little while ago. So as it is obvious, Britney, Tammy, and KC have all left me (insert serious sob fest) They were seriously my go to girls and I still miss them like mucho, but we catch up from time to time on Facebook (esp. Britney and I~) I miss my party buddies though, we have so many good memories~
So anyway, 2 nights before Tammy left, Adrian, TimTam and I partied like no tomorrow at the usual place. Tammy had this adorable moment where she told me she loved me and the proceeded to do her belly dancing dance around me while I as usual when drinking laughed like no tomorrow. I'm actually pretty sure she told me she loved me more then like 10 times, but then again she was drinking pretty hard core for a little chinese chick sooooo...haha either way I knew she meant it. Adrian and I bid her farewell around 3 or something and continued to party it up as the fantastic duo we are before we probably hit up Mcdonalds as is our routine at 6 or so. The following night was Tammy's last night and thus we all went out to dinner including a new student from the short term version of my school named Matya~. Together we ate Yakitori, some horse (dont knock it till you try it...sorry slurpee) and talked about all the memories we made. Seriously Tammy is one amazingly wild chick for someone who looks tiny and adorable and not insane at all. We took one last Purikura and then we kissed our goodbye's on the train when we got to Matya and Tammy's stop trying to hold back tears cause we're totally girls.
So Tammy heads home to Taiwan. (sigh)
I think Adrian and I headed to Fubar once more after she left before we decided we should stay out of clubs for a little while to save our livers and our wallets. Matya and I hit it off after going shopping together and so I had spent a good couple days hanging out with her and just enjoying not being the only girl from the US of A. Also during this little club break I had met a couple new girls in my dorm and had been hanging out with them as well, in which we all sat and watched Paranormal Activity the japanese version and just had an all around good time. Esp. when Seina told me she "liked dog" As in she liked dogs and I confused her heavy accented english for "I like dick." and had the best laugh over trying to explain that i heard wrong. Thats still a joke going on between us.
It came to a night that Fubar was hosting a 'Seifuku' or 'uniform' night and so together with Adrian (partner in crime) and Matya all dressed up in school uniforms, we headed out for a night at the club that ended with me and Matya on the train trying not to sleep and then passing out the moment we got home. I had also apparently felt up my boyfriend which if some people dont know by now I have one, and thus the next morning woke up to a text along the lines of "Hey Baby hey Baby hey." I LOL'd so hard.
After that it was back to school and no clubs, since I had switched to morning classes that meant that now I had to basically wake up at 6-6:30 to get ready so I could catch the 7:51 train to school. Also I had gotten an ear infection that included blood and gross stuff coming out of my ear on a constant and so I was miserable and begging for my mommy. I think my days consisted of me going to school with like a million tissues in hand, cleaning my ear every two seconds or it would leak, and then heading home to curl up and sleep on a towel so i wouldnt ruin my sheets and stuff. Shit sucked...seriously. But luckily it's finally cleared up and I'm all genki again~ Yay.
...I really dont think anything intresting happened after that...
Around the beginning of this month? ending of last month? A new student from Texas came to my school named Jazlaan and within the first night of meeting him we went out for drinks, hit up Kareoke, and then wandered around doing god knows what at all hours of the night. He's a seriously cool dude, and gay, which is major plus on my side cause he's like my go to girl when Matya leaves next month (Donttt leeavvee me) A couple days after that we all met up with Micaela and went out for shabu shabu at an MK resturant and had a good couple laughs before I left to go get my self my baby, AKA my Ps3 which is the love of my life. I laughed my ass when I found out that assassin's creed was all in japanese (which should be duh cause i live in japan) and played whilst laughing since he sounded all japanese romance novel with his deep sexy japanese voice. After that it was back to routine until it was decided Adrian Micaela and I would hit up our usual place...which I'm starting the think my blog is all about me partying but I dont really think anyone would find my studying intresting so...yeah...either way, I met new people, hit up a club with them after, had awkward conversations in the mcdonalds and then headed home to sleep the day away.
This brings us to where we are now...I think...i probably skipped out on a million things but jesus my memory isnt that good. Tuesday I went Halloween shopping with Matya at Donki Hotei and then Wednesday was break so I went and hung out with my boyfriend. Thursday I went shopping again with Matya for winter clothes since it's balls cold here, and we went and had sushi before parting ways. Today is currently Friday, I went to school as usual, groaning when i woke up at 7 and then rushed around to get ready for class. Since Jazlaan and his room mate Trevor live right next to the school I stop in every morning to chit chat before Jazlaan and I head to class together since he too has morning classes just he's on the 2nd floor and I'm on the 3rd. We apparently now have assigned seating to which Im next to the weirdest Nepalli kids ever and basically across from Chou-san and Sou-san who are two chinese kids who think it's hiliarious to make faces at me or whisper werid things...Sou-san tried to eat my eraser today since it looks like a crepe and Chou-san was just being....Chou-san. Afterwards I hung out with Jazlaan and Trevor before I skipped to the train station to head home.
I still have yet to recieve my moms package (boohoo) and up until like an hour ago had no real plans for tonight but Sakko being an awesome friend might have got me a job and so tonight I am headed over there to see how it all goes. Fingers crossed I hope this works out!
Tomorrow is Halloween night at FuBar and thus...obviously I'm going, along with Adrian and Jazlaan and Jazlaan's Boo so Hopefully tomorrow night goes well~ So yeah...boring life? Yeah kinda...but I like it :D

Home sweet home
As usual...I'm tired haha
Then again when am I not?
So Friday I left for Korea on a mission to surprise my sister since she was finally moving to korea to start school. She had a suspicion she said but honestly she had no clue I was going to meet her in Korea, nor did she know my mother was going to go as well. In fact I hadnt known my mother was going to be going so it was supposed to be a surprise for me as well but she had set up a responce email and hadnt expected me to email her...but I did...so her surprise was ruined several hours before we met up. I was excited for meeting up with my family and when they waltzed on through the gate I was so happy to see everyone. My sister didnt hear me nor see me the first time I called out however my parents did and when she looked up to see who my parents were talking to she exclaimed that "she knew it"...yeah whatever knew it my ass.
After meeting up we all packed into a taxi and realized as we drove the hour and some minutes to the hotel that driving in Korea was much like driving in China...wild and crazy and almost completely rule-less. Seriously the way they drove sometimes nearly gave us a heart attack, U-turns and speeding and all the honking. Anyway, We got to our nice hotel, checked in, and went to our rooms to relax for a little before we went out to go find a place to eat. We ended up at a Korean BBQ place where we ordered a load of food and caught up a tiny bit over some Bi-bim-bap and a bunch of meat. Friday wasnt so eventful being as they were bound to be jet lagged and it was getting kind of late so we went back to the hotel after eating and my sister and I watched Mnet and Superstar K and then stayed up forever chatting like we used to.
Saturday we went to get my sister checked into her dorm and to start shopping for the things she would need for said dormitory, we headed to a couple places, popped around to buy things and ate a boat load of food along the way. That was partially my fault since I was craving korean and stuffing my face like a little piglet. We headed around the markets to see what was there and then made our way back to the hotel in the evening to relax a little. Sunday was shopping for the rest of her things and then finally moving into her dorm with all of her stuff, and meeting her roommate. I'm proud of my sister and I know this is going to help her grow so I wish her luck in her adventure. This is where we parted ways and I teared up because this has always been her dream and it was all coming true. I know she'll do well.
I spent the night alone in the hotel, curled up in bed and then had to wake up at 4:40 am so I could catch the bus that takes me to the airport since its an hour away. I said goodbye to my mother where i teared up again because I'm the biggest mama girl and then I rode the bus to the airport where I got all checked in and then headed for my gate. I ate my last bowl of Bi-Bim-Bap in Korea and then boarded my flight. I sat next to a korean boy named Kim Hyunjoon who was also a foreign student in Japan but who lived in Nagasaki. We chatted through out the flight about all sorts of things before we landed in Japan and everyone deplaned. HyunJoon stayed with me as we went through customs, talking away with me even as we got our suitcases and then even as we rode the bus and then the train where we exchanged numbers before we parted ways when he got off at Hakata.
I snaked my way through Tenjin back to the Nishitetsu line, got my train and then danced my way back here to my dorm where I layed around for a little. I hadnt realized how much I missed home so much until I got back, I really enjoy where I live and I love living in Japan in general, Korea is totally not my city, it's fun but it's not my city. Now I'm watching Pretty little liars, lazing around and probably about to do some homework since I have a bunch to get done, not to mention a test tomorrow and classes...ugh...I'm tired from just thinking about it.

Uggghhhh So sleeeepppyyy
I'm supposed to be cleaning...
But....
I can do that later, I thought to recap the night for my mom and stuff
Since when on skype I dont always remember everything in that moment.
So Friday I spent the night at the girls dorm, we jammed out in Tammy's room, had a couple drinks, and just LOL'd while we made Tam listen to weird american songs like "oh you touch my tra la la" and all those Gunther songs. At one point while Tammy was chatting with someone KC and I went out to the balcony since the weather was fantastic and we just wanted to chat up. We were talking about her boyfriend and Jack and other people's relationships when we looked down and there was a house below flashing what looked like morse code, we stood out there trying to figure out if they were flashing S.O.S or if it was just a wonky light. Finally though we said F it and turned to go inside where I curled up at the bottom of Tammy's bed while she slept and KC skyped her boyfriend. At some point I fell asleep and when I woke it was god knows what time and I was wiggling up to sleep next to Tam.
Later KC and Tammy went to go get food from the lawson while i continued to saw logs since I was so tired and so lazy. When they returned I was handed a burger by mama Tammy and I finally got up to chat with the girls and to watch viral videos like the mcdonalds drive through rap. Jack messaged me and then called me, and KC gave me this sly look while i yelled for her not to look at me and slipped into the hallway. We talked for a little before he went to bed and I shuffled back into Tammy's room to hang out for a little longer. It was decided they were going to dinner with KC's grandmother at around 6 or something and then we would meet up at 9 in Tenjin to head to the bar/club, I messaged Adrian with the details and then went home to relax since it was only 2 in the afternoon. I took a long bath, and then continued to watch 'Pretty little liars' while I did my makeup because now I can't stop watching it. I stopped in the cafeteria to eat dinner before coming back and skyping my mom while I got dressed and what not. I have no boobs so i struggled to pin the top of my dress like an idiot while my mom laughed at me...thanks mom.
Then I was off, nearly running since I was running late, and then dying as I got stares on the train for being dressed the way I was. I shrugged it off and went to meet up with the group at the bottom of the station and then we were off for the bar/club trying to avoid the rain as it was on and off pouring. Halfway there these two women walked up to us and asked where we were going, we told them and they asked to come along, the issue is we didnt realize this until later but they were a mother daughter pair and the daughter was only 14. When we found out we were all extreamly weirded out because what mother would take their 14 year old daughter to a bar/club? She even let her daughter dance with older men and I heard at one point she was making out with someone, That royally ticked me off. Usually I tried to pull her away from guys but ugh whatever, she kept dissapearing.
Either way back to where I was, We got to the bar/club and paid our 500yen and headed for the bar to chat with the bartender as we got our first drinks. It was one of the other bartenders birthday, Let's call her K, and she was getting her first birthday shot of the night so I piped up that I wanted to join, Adrian also agreed and said he'd pay for my shot and his, so the bartender, who i will call J, filled up our shots. I'm okay with normal shots, but this shit was insane, it had a small shallow bowl that was filled with an alcholic drink and then the shot of whatever that was in the middle like an island. We yelled out cheers and Happy birthday before downing it all, tasted horrible but whatever, we all highfived (the group who had done shots since there was probably 8 of us) and then I went over to KC and Tammy where they were talking. We had a moment where we shared this look over the mother daughter pair, since we all totally do not agree with that but then I was back at the bar to ask for paper towels for the drink we spilled just a little.
When I went up they were filling up these cute little glasses of champaine for another cheers to K's birthday, I wasn't part of their little group and nor did I know any of them but I was handed a drink by this guy with a huge grin who had done the shots earlier with us. So I downed my little thing of champaine, thanked them and went back to help clean up, Dont worry mom I didnt get wasted and I nursed several drinks through out the night, I had no plans to get shit faced for reals. We talked, we danced and then finally it started to fill up with people, of course with some I knew since we go there often, and they greeted me excitedly. We all decided it was bar time and so we danced our way back there where I had this great conversation with this woman at the bar who was extreamly friendly. We chatted over 'sex on the beach' which definatly doesnt taste as good as when my mom makes it, and then I was back on the dance floor where I met Greg, this navy guy, who was hilarious. I told him I couldn't dance with him really since I have someone I liked and he was there, so Greg danced on me instead while I laughed. He was a sweetheart.
After a while Tammy and KC left to go home since I'm guessing Tam was tired, and Adrian and I settled at the bar to talk to K and J and Jack who had come at 11, and with other people who were swimming around. These girls offered me a glass of champaine AGAIN, since I must be popular, and then after when they got a cake to celebrate for K I was fed by these strangers chocolate and strawberries and some cake before they shoved a guys face in it and cake got everywhere. I had to clean my shoes while I laughed since these girls were wasted and saying all kinds of funny shit. I dissapeared on to the dance floor where I got totally humped by this girl who could get way down there with the booty bouncin, she was a riot and I danced with her for a while until I ran off to go harrass Jack for a moment. I covered my face as the door girl gave us a sly look and then ran off after kissing him to go dance some more and then hang at the bar talking and laughing with the drunks. Greg reappaeared and asked if I wanted shots, He didnt want one but he handed me money and told me to get shots and have a good night.
I split the shots with Adrain and K for another birthday shot and at some point she asked me if it was sexy time since I had asked her to dance with me. I laughed. I did dance a little with her, and I got to dance with Jack when he was on break and again later, but finally the night was up and the bar/club was closing. I couldnt believe I had stayed here till closing again and J was making fun of me since my voice was all messed up from yelling over music. Jack called me over and then all his coworkers started to call me to tease and I covered my face up as I made my way to Jack. A coworker who I will call T called me cute and handed me a flower since they were handing out flowers from K's giant flower display at the door. I laughed and then was told it was time to go so I kissed Jack and shuffled down the stairs with the crowd of people and Adrian and Kin-san. We made our way to the family mart next door, got sandwiches and then talked as we made our way to the Mcdonalds since we were craving for it. There were all the party-goers at Mcdonalds, in this long huge line, and when we finally got up we ordered our 3 million sandwiches and then went upstairs to eat.
There were these girls passed out two tables down from us, and we laughed about them as we munched, and then another person came to sleep 1 table down. Mcdonalds is the haeven for sleepy drunks apparently. It was around 7 something when we finally left, Kin-san probably thinking Adrian and I were crazy as all get out since we talk about weird shit but whatever Kin-san is weird too. We caught the first train out, lucky it was an express and then we went home, me nearly ramming into my door when I tried to open it and take off a shoe at the same time. I skyped my family, and then flopped onto my bed to pass out with all my stuffed animals. It was a long ass night but it was fun and I got cake and champaine and gah it was hella fun.
Now I have to do homework and watch Pretty little liars and clean.
and eat...Mmmmm goldfish
But....

NUMERO 2~ read part 1 first please!
So to continue~
The following Saturday (which was the 13th) was Tam's birthday and so I met up with the girls to get ready at their dorm, borrowed a dress from KC, ate some cake, and then we all headed out to meet Mina and a couple others for Izakaya. We ate, and talked and had some pre-game drinks with everyone in Yakuin before parting ways with like half the group to go to Tenjin to hit up a club again since of course it was Tammy's birthday and she needed party. I didnt drink that much this time, I was really in the mood to be schwasted so I kept my drinks to a minimum, plus I'm not really into loosing my liver or something soooo haha. Mommy be proud of me! Lol. Anyway, when we got there Nomihodai was no longer 500 yen so we put out the 2000 and then shoved all of our stuff into a locker so we could dance. Which, the guy at the door was a hottie and I was eyein him but more about that later~
It was already kinda packed when we got there, and so we picked a spot to dance and started doing our thing, Halfway through I noticed Kenta was there but was dancing with another girl and clearly avoiding me since whenever I was anywhere near him, if it was at the bar or on the dance floor, he would move the opposite directing, I laughed so hard cause he was really trying to avoid me and I didnt give a shit. It's not like we were dating, or that I thought he was mine, so i thought it was funny he was acting like I was going to chase him or something. I didnt care, that shits stupid, he wasnt even that good looking so I dont see why he made such a big deal, I just came to dance stupid. Halfway through the night they left together and KC made a dirty comment and I laughed even harder, I love her. Tammy and Britney also left since Tammy was tired and it's her birthday so she can do what she wants, so KC and I stayed since we were still wanting to dance.
There was this guy we named Jesus since he kinda looked like Jesus and since KC wanted to dance with him I made her, basically i shoved her against him and ran to hide after grinning and telling her to thank me later. I found someone to dance with and for a while danced with them until door boy came to clean up the table next to me and I started to chat him up. He was adorable and said he had wanted to chat me up too so we talked for a little and then he had to go back to work, He told me to wait till the last 30 min and then we could dance together so I said okay and made it a point to wait, which I love KC who waited with me. She is my boo i swear. But anyway, I headed up to the bar where Jack (door boy who is actually named Shinji but uses Jack too) bought me a shot and the other bartender cheered us on. At one point KC and I pretended to be lesbians to get this dude to leave us alone, and then continued with that little lie ith other boys since we didnt want to dance with them. One was married but said his wife didnt mind cheating and me and KC gave him this look like 'wtf' before we told we were totally lesbians and only liked each other. haha
Also at some point the bartender colored in half of my tattoo, which I lol'd and threw a fit for him to color in the other half...he never did, he only drew more hearts around my tattoo and then laughed when i whined at him that my tattoo was totally lopsided now. Afterwards I had someone spill my drink on me, I spilt someones drink and I made 3 guys dance on me like girls while i pretended to be a guy and had a good time. Poor whatever that dudes name was whose drink I spilt and whose necklace my fingers got stuck in, He was totally my GF though as he shook it on me and i laughed my ass off. Finally though and I mean FINALLY I got to dance with Jack to which as I've mentioned I dont dance like little japanese girls, nor does KC and she was on one guy while I was on Jack and there was someone pressed between us, we seperated a little later but I was laughing at KC's face as she winked at me. After Jack scribbled his number on my arm and I told him I would definalty message or call and then KC and I went for MCdonalds since we had to wait for the train anyway and we had this deep conversation and I love her seriously.
I messaged Jack and we started messaging back and forth before deciding to meet later that day after I wasnt so tired and about to pass out. I went home, threw things off my bed skyped my mom to squeal over the cuteness of Jack and then flopped over and went to sleep. I later woke up at like 12 or something and lazed around until I had to meet up with Jack and then I was back in Tenjin chatting with him about all kinds of crazy things since Im crazy as hell in general. The thing was that I basically had no voice from the night before where I was screaming over music and being more insane then usual, so it was kind of funny to hear me talk and half the time i had to cough to get a semi normal voice to come out. We ate and talked for a bit before deciding to go to Karaoke, which we a horrible idea because 1. his friends worked there and were working and gave me sneaky sly glances and 2. i had no voice to begin with. For the record I am not easy nor will i ever be so its even more embaressing when his friends were giving us their little glances. We headed off to the Karaoke room with me covering my face and laughing.
Because at that point I had already missed the train home we were at Karaoke until like almost 6 in the morning. He sang most of time since I literally had no voice but it was all good cause he sang the begining of Barbie girl to me and that made my night completely. He later complained it was gay and I laughed and laughed and laughed cause he had done it high voice and all. At one point he took a nap while i zoned out cause I was tired and he had barely had any sleep, so I let him sleep on my lap while i petted his head like a cat...I miss my cats...He was like a cat Hahahaha. My mom is probably going to think that is weird but whatever, I didnt mind since I had zoned out and I couldnt sing anyway. We left at 6 he walked me to the station and we said our little goodbyes. I came home and passed out. After when I woke up I did some school work before lazing around and skyping YahYah and my Mom to talk about how my date went. I love my mama <3 and YahYah <3
I met Jack again Tuesday, which was yesterday to just hang out, He's so lazy it's so cute. I met his friends and stuff but we mainly just hung out and chilled around here and there with him trying to make me fat. We weirded out the starbucks girl at one point since he tried to pay and I wouldnt let him, he already handed over the money when I pulled mine out and then demanded for her to use my money not his, she just laughed and took my money while I grinned happily at my win and shoved Jack's money back at him. After hanging out again I caught the last train home and passed out at home until recently since I basically just woke up. I'm still sleepy but I have school work and I might meet up with the girls later since Britney is leaving soon (like Thursday) and I'm going to miss her. KC also leaves soon but she's coming back next year so I'm looking forward to that! Tam doesnt leave till september so I still got her to harass for the time being in which since I start school next week and KC is leaving soon we are going back out to party it up one last time as a group so I can go hit up on Jack, so KC and Tammy and I can dance together for the last time in a while, so Kin-san can party up with us, and so Adrian can hit on that girl that works at the bar even though she's the cold type. Can't wait to see how that goes~
Gosh I'm so sleepy now, and theres weird ass commercials on TV...gjonewokfdshef and I have school work....I'm going now. Hope everyone is doing well.
The following Saturday (which was the 13th) was Tam's birthday and so I met up with the girls to get ready at their dorm, borrowed a dress from KC, ate some cake, and then we all headed out to meet Mina and a couple others for Izakaya. We ate, and talked and had some pre-game drinks with everyone in Yakuin before parting ways with like half the group to go to Tenjin to hit up a club again since of course it was Tammy's birthday and she needed party. I didnt drink that much this time, I was really in the mood to be schwasted so I kept my drinks to a minimum, plus I'm not really into loosing my liver or something soooo haha. Mommy be proud of me! Lol. Anyway, when we got there Nomihodai was no longer 500 yen so we put out the 2000 and then shoved all of our stuff into a locker so we could dance.

Gosh I'm so sleepy now, and theres weird ass commercials on TV...gjonewokfdshef and I have school work....I'm going now. Hope everyone is doing well.
It's been forever...Sorry! My life part 1
It's not that I have been busy in particular, it's just general laziness...so yeah haha.
This is probably going to be an extreamly long boring post for people but I dont care, I'm writing this for my Mama and my family so they know how I've been and whats been going on since I dont talk to every single one of them everyday.
As of right now it is NatsuYasumi...I dont remember if I've said that before but whatever let me just make the point thats it's summer break for me so I've been going around with my friends having a blast. I dont remember which Saturday it was, I think it was the one after the start of my NatsuYasumi, but the girls wanted to go to a club and I was down in a heartbeat. I love going to clubs, not for picking up guys or any of that, but I love to dance, so I was ready to go happily. I met up with Adrian before hand to catch a meal and then went to meet up with the girls KC, Tammy and Britney at the station. We met up also with a friend of Tammy's named Mina who was extreamly friendly and then we headed for the club of which I will not name because...no evidence LOL. Kidding, I dont care, but I dont know if someone who lives near me will read this and then show up next time I go so yeah...whaattevverr.
Here in Japan they have something magical called Nomihodai, you pay a basic fee and then you can drink as much as you want till a certain time, which is usually 3 or 5. At the club/bar it was only 500 yen which is hella cheap and so we all jumped on Nomihodai and got a drink to nurse while we talked and waited for the club to fill up since it was nly around 9:30-10. There were a couple other foreigners there, didn't talk to them cause it's not like we're friends haha and I hate when sometimes Japanese people think that just cause I'm a foreigner and someone else is a foreigner suddenly we're Bff's...It doesnt work like that Japan...otherwise I would think all of you are friends...and your not LOL. So anyway, I think it was 2 or 3 girls who were already kinda on the edge of drunk when we came in at 9:30-10, we kind of giggled at them cause they were soooooo crazy and danced horribly, nothing against them but it just looked awkward and it's either your the best most awesomest dancer when you drink or this awkward thing of arms and legs with an ass that moves to the beat of your own special ed drum. I dont know if they could hear they beat but if they did they didnt care as they flailed around...whatever party hard girls as long as your happy haha.
Finally around 11:30-12 people started pouring in, and our drinks started piling up, we all decided this was the time to dance and so on the empty dance floor all 6 of us started to jam. The music was good, occasionally it would go to weird house music or like a slow beat and everyone had that moment of "how do I dance to this" before the good music would come back and we'd go back to doing our thing. Nothing against house music but...what do I do to that? Most of the time back home when house music would play, where it doesnt really have a steady beat or a heavy bass I would step off the floor with my girls, because seriously people looked like they were having a seizure to the music and I wasnt about to join in on that. Anyyway so the club started to pick up, other people started to dance and we all continued to drink and enjoy ourselves. We of course got the weirdest looks though since we were a bunch of foreigners that didnt dance like all the other girls in the club, AKA two stepping, and basically at one point I had both KC and britney grind me into the mirror on the stage as I laughed and we made this giant trian of nasty. It was embaressing not that I think back on it buutttt we had been drinking so whatever.
At one point at the bar KC puked on me, not all over me thank the lord, but just a little on my shoulder. It was after some girl had bought us jose shots and jose doesnt taste that great even when you've been drinking all night so i dont blame her. I just laughed it off, took my shirt off and switched it inside out while the bartender laughed, and then I took another shot for someone else. I know this makes me sound like an alcholic or a drunk but for reals I'm not, I hadnt gotten to party hard on my birthday so this was my chance to, plus I danced it all off. I dont think I sat down since 11:30 and my thighs were sore the next day from all the dancing but LOL it was fun. I met several guys who exchanged mail with me, but who I really didnt talk to again besides one named Kenta who I will get to later. The girls left the club, Adrian and I continued to party for a little and then we too went home where i passed out on his floor and he took good care of me. He is the bestest big fake brother ever.
When I arrived home the next day I just layed around which isnt that exciting really, but Kenta and I were texting so I wasnt so bored. Then Wednesday we went out again, It was just Adrian, KC, and I since Brit and Tam were on a trip together so we went out to have a couple drinks and then go to karaoke, where we sang everything from Eminem to Spice girls. Along the way we met several drunks who we asked if they were okay and at one point met this girl and her friend who had face planted into the brick ground and puked in her own hair. I knew I wouldnt want to be in that situation so I asked if they were good and tried to help out a little before KC, Adrian, and I headed home. Wednesday was a good day actually, I had fun, i love those two for letting me change the words to songs so that it sounded like I was mentally retarded.
...Sooooo This is long, I'm cutting this in half, This is part 1 obviously. Now to part 2

It has beeeeenn a whiillleee
Sorry~
I haven't been super busy, but at the same time I kind of have...If that makes sense.
Everyday I wake up, go to school, hang out with friends, come home, eat, study and sleep. Thats busy...if your me haha. But since Today was offically the start of NatsuYasumi (summer break) I thought I should definatly write about how things have been and what not living in Japan. Nothing insane has really happened that has made me think "what the hell Japan" besides Yamakasa and a lot of ass, but I have thought things are funny because let's face it japan is kind of up there in the funny scale to me.
Because in the US we really have nothing like it, I love Japanese gags, sure we have puns and japan has pun like jokes and yada yada, but when I say gags I mean like Tanoshingo or something. It's funny to me because Japan is usually big on being polite and not making an ass out of themselves but Gag men really dont give two shits and tend to just do wild crap. Last night on the Gag show I like, one guy sang that 'and I will always love you' song in a horrible voice and then picked up a blowup doll to sing to before pulling some wrestling move on it and then hovering over it on all fours while he shook his head around and made a stupid face. I laughed so hard because wtf japan, why is he doing this? I love gags here so much.
But besides that, Yesterday I went out to meet a friend of mine in Kurume with Adrian. There is a festival going on in both Kurume and Ogori right now with fireworks and what not so we wanted to go check it out. Before we stopped for Yakiniku which was sooo good, and a drink, while we talked about all sorts of things including the hot waiter I was eyeing and who Chie-san(my friend) then tried to get to come over to the table so she could see his face. In the end she told another waiting to make him walk around by our table and Chie-san concluded yes he was cute and then we were back to eating while Chie-san and Adrian gave me glances when he was near...esp. Adrian being the big bro he is haha. So finally we leave, get in Chie-san's car and she drives us to the festival before leaving since she really wasnt that intrested.
Me and Adrian being adventurous foreingers wanted to go still even though it was raining (not hard) and so we followed the crowd of 9786567834 couples all dressed in Yukata's. Which is adorable, esp. the kids in Yukata's because that just makes my heart explode they are so cute. So we walked around, watched some fireworks, got good luck charms, I got a fortune and then we wandered around the 6 million stalls looking at all the food and games. I got to eat the most delicious strawberry candy which is 3 strawberries dipped in liquid hard candy and left to get hard. The strawberries inside the hard candy are warm and so sweet and my god i want another right now. To bad I'm in my dorm...ugh.
Afterwards we walked in the drizzle all of like an hour to the trainstation and then caught our train home. I sat next to this kid and his mother when adrian got off at Ogori and I was then stared at by said kid in hilarious ways, his mother apologized so many times for me being stared at, having my space invaded, or my favorite, him prodding me with his foot. I LOL japan, I LOL. Luckily after when I got off at my stop It wasnt raining anymore and my short walk home was kind of nice. Right now I'm about to head off to Cosumosu to get softner and detergent before I come home and shower since I'm going out with the girls from Ohashi dorm and Adrian to a club tonight where they have Nomihodai for 1000 yen. I'm excited since I havent hung out with the girls since I was in Ohashi so It'll be good to go out and have some fun.
I know I said I would make a video of my dorm and I will try again sometime this week after I really scrub down and clean since I dont want to show anyone my mess haha. And maybe I'll make a video about going to Cosumosu now since I mean you never know someone maybe curious...Idk Im bored.
And I'll try and upload photos of things here tomorrow but if not, you can always look on FB...if you have my FB.

The strawberries inside the hard candy are warm and so sweet and my god i want another right now. To bad I'm in my dorm...ugh.
Afterwards we walked in the drizzle all of like an hour to the trainstation and then caught our train home. I sat next to this kid and his mother when adrian got off at Ogori and I was then stared at by said kid in hilarious ways, his mother apologized so many times for me being stared at, having my space invaded, or my favorite, him prodding me with his foot. I LOL japan, I LOL. Luckily after when I got off at my stop It wasnt raining anymore and my short walk home was kind of nice. Right now I'm about to head off to Cosumosu to get softner and detergent before I come home and shower since I'm going out with the girls from Ohashi dorm and Adrian to a club tonight where they have Nomihodai for 1000 yen. I'm excited since I havent hung out with the girls since I was in Ohashi so It'll be good to go out and have some fun.
I know I said I would make a video of my dorm and I will try again sometime this week after I really scrub down and clean since I dont want to show anyone my mess haha. And maybe I'll make a video about going to Cosumosu now since I mean you never know someone maybe curious...Idk Im bored.
And I'll try and upload photos of things here tomorrow but if not, you can always look on FB...if you have my FB.

Ahhh~ ごめん！
ごめんなさい！
I haven't written much! Sorry! I have been busy, but I thought today to blog.
Blog about what?
About things I find intresting~ Haha.
But first, a quick update on my oh so boring life. Everyday I catch my train at 12:21 to head to Ogori so I can get there on time, I've realized it's about a 15 minute ride with the express so I always end up at school a little early~ Being early here in Japan can be considered a good thing since being late anyway is kinda bad. I know if I am late to class they have said in the rules they will not let me attend class then, though they do let you still stay in class I'm pretty sure you get a stern talking to. Either way, Because my class (all of 2 people LOL) has to play catch up with the April class we only have 夏休み (Natsuyasumi or rather summer break) between the 6th and the 21st of next month, where as the other classes have from today to the 29th of next month. Me and my other classmate are basically working our asses off during their break so that when they come back on August 29th we can merge into their class.
It is...tiring haha.
So far we've gotten a lot of homework. We usually have 4 classes, from 1:15 to 4:40 and 2 teachers, 河の先生 and 石田先生. Kawano-sensei (河の) is wild and fun, She's an older woman and she really knows how to teach, she's quick but makes sure to explain every bit of Kanji, its fantastic because she's so funny and just fun in general. Ishida-sensei (石田) is this tiny adorable woman, She lives in Ohashi where I used to live and so yesterday I met her on the way home and had a great chat while we rode the express until I had to get off at Shimoori. She's sweet but stern and also a lot of fun, she always talks with me about weird things like eating chicken feet or eating bear meat in hokkaido, it's a lot of fun talking with her. All the teaches in NILS are pretty awesome, Fuchita-sensei also has wildly weird convos with me, like stuff about going to maid cafes and such, everyday I say good morning to him in a high pictched voice since he had once imitated a girl like that. Hirao-sensei is this bad ass fast talking little ball of energy of a woman, she teaches quick but well...and the most awesome thing? She rides a motorcycle...a red one, and today I watched her ride off into the sunset on it. It was pretty awesome, I think Im in love hahaha.
Susuki-sensei is this cute adorable woman who is very strict in teaching, she always makes me straighten my paper and such but I dont mind. She loves cats and stuff like me so we talk about that every once in a while. There's a couple more like Yano-sensei and Miyazaki-sensei but we'll just leave it at "awesome people, cool teachers, great coversations." So moving on, to sum up my days, I go to school, finish school, meet up with Adrian (sometimes Thorne or my other classmate) and go eat, or do something fun, after I come home, eat, talk and laugh and hang out with girls from my housing, and then sit around in my room watching TV...Like now...LOLOL at Harry potter in japanese, I have to laugh.
So on to things I find weird..yeah.
First of all since I watch a lot of TV...commercials are...Hilarious. For example...Chocoball:
The Chocoball commercial I usually see has to do with them on the top of a builiding...in which the bird turns around and suddenly has laser eyes as it nearly beams the one guy off of the tower, its kinda...funny as hell.
For your enjoyment...the banana commercial..no words....just watch it.
There's a million other commercials I love but to have them all here would be the longest video line ever. Just Youtube Japanese Commercials and you'll have laughs for hours.
Another thing I find intresting is Japanese people themselves.
For example...When getting on the train, they will sometimes book it to get inside and snag a seat. By book it I mean in the polietest way possible they sneak/slip past you as quickly as they can to get in the train car and then just toss them selves down like nothing happened. It's funny watching all the older ladies shuffle on quickly to steal a seat they eyed. Another thing, now this is just a culture shock kind of thing, "Bless you" or any other form of it is not said when someone sneezes, nothing in fact is said and so it is extreamly awkward when I sneeze and then expect a "bless you" or something like from my friend who I'm talking to...only for her to just go on talking like nothing happened. I think it's funny.
Also, just in general, how polite Japan is, just for a small bump on the shoulder I get 10+ "sumimasen" and 20+ bows.
Japanese Television...Yes this kind of ties in with the commercials bit but whatever I do what I want LOL.
Recently on Saturdays I get to watch my show...Aka Arashi ni Shiyagare which loosly translate into Arashi (the group name) Just do it. The show is all unscripted and improve, Arashi has no idea who is coming until the show has started and the guest arrives, funny insues. That however is not the point,(since it's not really crazy? and I just love arashi) Usually what seems to be possible as of lately is Doctor dramas, Music shows, or...these extreamly intresting "truth or lie" shows. What happens is they tell you a story, "such and such ate a 1 day expired icecream and when she woke up she had horrible red spots all over her skin, open sores, and she could hardly breathe" They provide a dramatized version of the story and then ask "Shiro? Kuro?" Shiro is truth Kuro is lie. That story turned out to be truth, but either way, sometimes the stories that they come up with are giggle worthy.
Other popular things on TV include lots of gag and then one really heartfelt story about something. This one show makes me die with cuteness of animals or other things, kittens and such and then makes me boohoo after with this sad story of an animals life. Best...show...ever.
One thing popular here in Japan is easy things.
If it's easy people like it. So thus cup noodles, cup curry, food you have to heat up, or anything of the like, people love. Esp. if it's easy AND cheap. Hair dye in the form of foam, full meals you can get heated up at the 7/11 or Lawson, anything of that sort, is the bomb diggity here. Also anything with a fancy name, or with fancy ingredients is pretty boss too. Stuff with english on it, or with big vitamin names "Arginine" or just "amino" is gobbled up here. Things that are "good for you" are also really popular. Collogine drinks, vitamin drinks, healthy drinks, energy jelly...all my friends like these sorts of things...as well as other people I have met, and I kinda like them too so LOL.
One last weird thing I find here is Japan...candy.
They have all kinds, gummies, hard candies gums...but that obviously isnt weird to me at all. No, no, no...it's what they flavor their candies. Okonomiyaki (which is a pancake like food with lettuce and squid and sauce and mayonaise and such) Beef, Chicken, Pork, Bacon, Fish, Spices, Curry, all these have been flavors for candies...it's ridiculous. There are the usual root beer, icecream, those kinds...but I have seen some pretty crazy ones.
Since tomorrow is Saturday I will clean my room and such, so when I'm done with that I will make a video on my room and where I live. Dont expect this epic room since I have yet to really decorate but I wanted to show friends and other family my room. So till then! Byyyeee

-Dead-
So my computer is being mean to the Yamakasa photos and I will have to upload them another day. I dont know whyyyy this is happening, I think my computer and internet just hate me...their in shenanigans together...i swear it.
Since yesterday was Sunday Adrian and I decided to go out, esp. since neither of us went out yesterday, we were looking to just get out and do something. Me being the creepy cat lady I am, brought up that we should go to a cat cafe I had searched about, and Adrian being awesome agreed to acompany me there. So we first agreed to meet up around 1 to go to the game center and play some games, along with us taking so purikura for fun. After we went to this store similar to the American spencers but filled with more insane shit, It was intresting to see all the things inside, since it had some pretty wild stuff. Finally we went off in search of the cat cafe and eventually we found it, with me super excited. Yesterday...at the cat cafe...they had...
...kittens
-dead-
There were soooo many of them, all running around playing with toys other people waved, immedietly I was in heaven. So we decided on staying for 90 and I got my serious cat fix. They were all so cute, and extreamly playful, I got to cuddle and pet and pick them up all I wanted, to say I was happy was an understatement. Because I miss my cats at home it was something I had missed, petting and playing with my cats, I will definatly be going back atleast once a month to get my kitty fix, esp. since it was cheap for 90 min. of cat playing, a dessert and a drink (1300). Ahhh~ I miss my cats
Afterwards we headed out to a movie theater to see the last Harry Potter since it was the last one and I have wanted to see it. It was an extreamly good movie, and it was great to see how everyone matured, plus I lol'd at the very end. Then we whisked ourselves home and I skipped to my dorm where I rolled around on my bed and then watched some TV. All in all a great day~

Late post is late
nt updated in a while~ I know, I've been kinda busy with school since it's the first week but I should be back to writing all this BS now that I've got the swing of things.
So first off, quick update on what I've been doing...
Obviously I've been going to school, doing that whole learning thing and what not, it's kind of nice getting up everyday to go do something but at the same time there are days I just want to be lazy as all get out. Usually after school I go with Adrian somewhere and we study and practice talking and all that shenanigans and it's nice cause he's really cool and he's my total "big brother" here. Other then school, I did my grocery shopping, which I forgot some things so I have to go back, so my little fridge is getting nice a full~. I nearly got attacked by a bug last night doing my laundry, I ran inside and locked the door so fast it was like lightening...uuuuhhh....I cleaned? a little? Yeah kind of and I'm offically unpacked which is realllllly nice.
So now that thats done! I want to talk about what I did this morning...
And by this morning I mean at 3 am.
So every year there is a festival call Hakata Yamakasa that obviously takes place in Hakata. The tradition streaches back to som 750 years ago in like 1241 when a Buddhist preist named Shouich Kokushi was carried through the town of Hakata on a platform and sprinkled with holy water to eradicate the evil spirits responsible for a plague that had struck the town. So from July 1st to the 15th this Festival takes place and at 4:59 AM on July 15 is the climax of the entire thing, also known as Oiyama. Basically what happens is a whole bunch of guys get together and make like a "float" or Kakiyama and Kazariyama, that they then have someone sit on as they carry it in a race to see who can make it to the finish line in the best time. They all wear an outfit called mizu happi or "short coats" and pretty much run like mad men while they carry this float down the street with the men on top screaming out chants for them to keep going and other men throwing buckets of water on them to keep them cool.
Needless to say it was amazing to see.
There's all these floats being held up by men, and then hundreds of other men standing around to also run and help out. Their all wearing the mizu happi which is basically a T-shit and little cloth thong paired with little black boots, so I can say I've seen a mad amount of ass and not all of is was pleasent, though it was still kind of funny. There's so many people there that its crazy trying to squish your way through it all, and theres so many food stalls that you just want to eat everything. Not to mention everyone is tired and seriously drunk since drinking is a huge part of it and drunks were everywhere just having a grand old time, even the men carrying the floats tend to drink before hand, there were huge bottles of sake everywhere.
So I woke up at 3, caught the train and met up with Adrian, grabbed some alcohol and walked down the streets just enjoying the festival for all it is...madness. At 6 it finally rounded up with the biggest float hauling ass down the road while it blew mist from the dragons nose and people chanted like no bodies buisness. It was all so fantastic that I'm glad that even though I hadnt slept I had gone to see the festival itself. Eventually I got back at 7:30, took a nap till 10 went and took my test that I had for school and succeded in staying in class without passing out from just how tired I am. Now Im back in my dorm all nice and cool, about to watch the rest of my movie and relax before going to bed whenever I feel like it. Ah~
For the record I am going to post pictures when my computer isnt being stupid with the company of my internet

Ahhhh~
It's late here...I know...I'll sleep soon
I thought I would just give a quick update on how my boring life is and what I did today~.
I did...
Nothing.
Juuuusstt kidding. I did stuff haha. Well first of all I woke up at 12, rolled out of bed and then sat myself down to watch my drama since I havent finished it and I should be done but Im not...so anyway, I start watching that when Adrian calls, we talk a little, agree to meet up later and then Im rushing off to Lawsons to get a ham and egg sandwich since I had been craving it since the night before. Even now I want to eat it which is insane since I would think I wouldnt want to...but I do...whatever. So I get my sandwich and come back here to watch more drama and skype my mom before heading out to meet with Adrian in Tenjin to hang out.
Since it is ofcouse Saturday night Tenjin was packed, people every where doing everything, but it was extreamly hot out since it was later (like 6...something....7...? was it 8?). We headed over to my favorite place in the world, Tenjin core and did some walking around while we talked about different styles and such, and laughed about stupid shit per usual. I of course bought something (sorry mommy -dead-) and then vowed to not buy anything else clothing or material related for a while since thats not really why I moved to Japan in the first place. but I will say that shopping here is amazing when and if you have the money because I dont know if some people know this but Japan is one of if not the most exspensive place on the earth. Its ridiculous how much I have paid for things in general, not just clothing or shoes which is hecka lots of money, but also on accesories, housing goods, blankets ect. My advice to any one wanting to move here...get a job first and save money up (which isnt what i did but shame on me) and then get a job here later (like im going to do) Money in japan seems to go quickly. (without a train pass i pay 450 each way from Ohashi to Ogorti...thats 900 yen.)
So after we shopped we headed over to an english pub to meet up with Matt, another american who was leaving Japan in 3 weeks to head home, for some drinks and good chatter. Man was it packed in there, lots of other americans, and foreigners in general and a lot of drunks which were kind of funny to see. This one guy literally screamed the bar girls name for a good 2 minutes and when she acknowledged him he only gave a goofy grin and waved...I lol'd like no other. When the clock hit 11 though Adrian, Matt and I had to hurry back to the station to catch the express at 11:30 so that we could make it home in time to not turn back into pumpkins. Since they had to go to ogori which is like 30-45 min from Tenjin and I had to go to Ohashi which is all of 2-5 min, we bid farewell to each other (after trying not to laugh at this one guy who was spread legged and not wearing underwear) and I hustled my way home trying to hold in my laughter at the drunks that roamed the street and that one passed out guy whose friend was crying and laughing at the same time.
Got home, stripped on the spot since I of course didnt leave me aircon on and then hurried to turn it on while I started up my computer and gathered things to pack. I offically move on Monday at 10 in the morning but have a room inspection at 9 so i plan to clean clean clean and pack pack pack tomorrow after i sleep sleep sleep. Though I already have most of my packing done so its mostly cleaning and sleeping for me tomorrow. So i packed up, watched more drama, LOL'd at Yahyah and her stalker ways and then hurried out to the drink machien in my pajamas like an idiot to get a c.c lemon whiiiicchhh is pretty much one of my favorite drinks ever. Then i got back, freaked out about this huge ass spider in my effing room while trying to squish it quietly so i didnt bother my neighbors here in the Gakusei-kaikan. technically i just shoo-ed the spider out of my door and was then done with it before I sat here to write this boring, tmi, entry which my mom will probably laugh at and probably frown at since 1. I am her special ed daughter and 2. I went shopping again. I love you mommy~
Ugh I need to attend shop-o-holic's anon...
Good night!
I thought I would just give a quick update on how my boring life is and what I did today~.

Even now I want to eat it which is insane since I would think I wouldnt want to...but I do...whatever. So I get my sandwich and come back here to watch more drama and skype my mom before heading out to meet with Adrian in Tenjin to hang out.
Since it is ofcouse Saturday night Tenjin was packed, people every where doing everything, but it was extreamly hot out since it was later (like 6...something....7...? was it 8?). We headed over to my favorite place in the world, Tenjin core and did some walking around while we talked about different styles and such, and laughed about stupid shit per usual. I of course bought something (sorry mommy -dead-) and then vowed to not buy anything else clothing or material related for a while since thats not really why I moved to Japan in the first place. but I will say that shopping here is amazing when and if you have the money because I dont know if some people know this but Japan is one of if not the most exspensive place on the earth. Its ridiculous how much I have paid for things in general, not just clothing or shoes which is hecka lots of money, but also on accesories, housing goods, blankets ect. My advice to any one wanting to move here...get a job first and save money up (which isnt what i did but shame on me) and then get a job here later (like im going to do) Money in japan seems to go quickly. (without a train pass i pay 450 each way from Ohashi to Ogorti...thats 900 yen.)
So after we shopped we headed over to an english pub to meet up with Matt, another american who was leaving Japan in 3 weeks to head home, for some drinks and good chatter. Man was it packed in there, lots of other americans, and foreigners in general and a lot of drunks which were kind of funny to see. This one guy literally screamed the bar girls name for a good 2 minutes and when she acknowledged him he only gave a goofy grin and waved...I lol'd like no other. When the clock hit 11 though Adrian, Matt and I had to hurry back to the station to catch the express at 11:30 so that we could make it home in time to not turn back into pumpkins. Since they had to go to ogori which is like 30-45 min from Tenjin and I had to go to Ohashi which is all of 2-5 min, we bid farewell to each other (after trying not to laugh at this one guy who was spread legged and not wearing underwear) and I hustled my way home trying to hold in my laughter at the drunks that roamed the street and that one passed out guy whose friend was crying and laughing at the same time.
Got home, stripped on the spot since I of course didnt leave me aircon on and then hurried to turn it on while I started up my computer and gathered things to pack. I offically move on Monday at 10 in the morning but have a room inspection at 9 so i plan to clean clean clean and pack pack pack tomorrow after i sleep sleep sleep. Though I already have most of my packing done so its mostly cleaning and sleeping for me tomorrow. So i packed up, watched more drama, LOL'd at Yahyah and her stalker ways and then hurried out to the drink machien in my pajamas like an idiot to get a c.c lemon whiiiicchhh is pretty much one of my favorite drinks ever. Then i got back, freaked out about this huge ass spider in my effing room while trying to squish it quietly so i didnt bother my neighbors here in the Gakusei-kaikan. technically i just shoo-ed the spider out of my door and was then done with it before I sat here to write this boring, tmi, entry which my mom will probably laugh at and probably frown at since 1. I am her special ed daughter and 2. I went shopping again. I love you mommy~
Ugh I need to attend shop-o-holic's anon...
Good night!

Offical first day fer suuureee
Today was my first day~
As usual I got up before my alarm clock, I had woken up and checked my Itouch to see that it was 9:30 and I was getting up at 10 so I told myself to sleep the 30 minutes and then start getting ready. Except my Itouch was on the wrong time and it was really only 8:30 when I checked it so when I offically got up at what I thought was 10 it was only 9. I had my small hissy fit before I skyped my family and then started to get ready for school. Since I have morning classes I went and hoped on a 12:15 express train and off I was for Ogori trying to ignore the weird guy in the two seats next to me eyeing me like I was a unicorn...to which maybe I am to him...i dont know. Either way, i found out when getting off at Ogori that the train conductor had been a hottie and wondered why exactly he chose that job as I hiked it up and the strairs and then out of the station on my way to school.
I arrived early, like I usually do, which probably some how bothers someone...or atleast I have a feeling, since I tend to be there 10-15 minutes before I have to and I feel like they feel they have to tend to me, it's whatever. Either way, switched to my slippers, grabbed my attendance sheet and chatted with another teacher as he led me to the S-4 classroom. Here comes the sucky part...wait for it...waiiiiittttt....I was...alone TA-DA. Seriously I was, I was the only person in my "class" for today and for how ever much longer which is you were wondering was yes 1. awkward and 2. lonely, but it was all good since my teacher and I could have one on one kinda thing. My teacher today was Shimogawa-sensei~ She is the biggest sweet heart on the face of the planet and if she was my teacher forever I'd pretty much be happy.
So we talked for a little, mainly about what I liked about japan, and what I liked to eat before we started class. This was just a refresher for all my Hiragana and Katakana to make sure I had the right stroke orders so it was a little easy but still nice to go over. After we had break for five minutes, and this is where I found out that Shimogawa-sensei and I both like 1. Arashi and 2. good looking men, Not to mention she wants to get married soon and I want a boyfriend soon so we talked about that as well...but mainly about Arashi and why I like Ohno. We started class shortly after and continued from there. All in all it was a good 3 3/12 hours of class and I really enjoyed talking with Shimogawa-sensei. She also told me Hirao-sensei likes Arashi too and so when we left the classroom and Hirao-sensei was there we all talked down the stairs about who we liked in Arashi and how cool they were. She also wondered why I like Ohno and I lol'd forever because he gets no love from my teachers, Sho and Aiba apparently took their hearts~
So finally I headed home, catching the express to Ohashi where I ate Curry rice since I was dying for it...literally dying, and also where I had to buy a new umbrella cause my cute little one broke. After I shuffled to my dorm, slipped into my room and promptly rolled around before signing online to talk to YahYah and do other lazy things before I study study study like a good student.
Wahhh~ I'm tired

Ahhh~ Lazy-ness
Today I was lazy~ yaayy.
Since I had already taken my tests my teachers told me to stay home today and thus I relaxed~. I had tried to sleep in, thinking I could sleep atleast until like 1 or 2, but since I've kind of gotten used to waking up early I kept waking up. First at 8 then at 9 and finally I decided to just get up at 12 when I woke up yet again, after which I thought my ipod had magically dissapeared since I have fallen sleep with it and woke up without it...it turns out I had at some point coiled it up and put it in the pouch in my backpack hanging above my bed, I laughed when I found it.
So I got up, messaged around with Yahyah before I called her since I have a temporary loan phone for right now. Yahyah is short for Shamyah who is in Kyoto and is awesome and magically and wonderfully cool and who totally acts like my twin on most occasions, it's crazy. Anyway, we talked for a while, to which my pre-paid phone told me to add some more money, and then hung up so we could both go shower. I however never ended up showering though since I got caught up talking to Chelsea and in the end when Yahyah came back on I had told her I had been talking and not showering. At which point I realized I was hungry and decided I would run to Lawson to grab lunch and what not before I came back to do Laundry (I have so much shit it isnt even funny) and possibly shower. It was raining so I had to go out looking all frumpy since I didnt want to ruin any clothes and I was to lazy to do my hair and makeup...which is amazing.
Still havent showered haha, but I ate a really really yummy ham and egg sandwich from Lawson and I did throw the rest of my laundry into the wash and dryer before I sat down to study study study and chat with Yahyah and my cousin. Which since Im washing half my laundry and drying the other half I have to keep going to the 5th floor to first throw clothes in, wait an hour, go up to put them in the wash, wait 30, throw the other half in, wait 30 min, go up and take clothes out, wait 30 min, and then go up again to put the finished washed clothes in the drying, so now Im waiting an hour to get them. On that whole party trip I nearly ran into this extreamly good looking boy~ Ahh~ he was so cute, but we didnt share any words or nothing and I went back to my room with googly eyes.
So since Im waiting, and doing school work I decided to upload random pictures. Yay~

Hot Hot Hot
Ugh It is hot. Today is just...killer.
So last night I went out with a couple other girls I met here in my dorm for some drinks and to go do sparklers since it was the 4th of July and all, in which I had a blast, they were all fantastically nice and magical. However we got home at 2 in the morning and I had to be up at 6 so the whole 4 hours of sleep and looking like the walking dead this morning wasnt so fantasically nice or magical, though I wasnt the only one since everyone else had morning classes as well. Annnyyywwayyyy, So woke up 6 AM thinking the world is ending because my alarm clock is loud as hell and nearly gave me a heart attack, skyped with my family while I put on makeup, multitasking yay, and then drank a cup of water and ran out to catch a train, cause I was worried I was running late.
So I get to the train station and as usual pay 450 to go to Ogori and then hike it up the stairs to check when the train would come. Buuuuuuttttt apparently trains dont like me because the express train to Hanabata or Ogori wasnt showing up, and theres this boy staring me down from the chair next to me like its nobodies buisness. Swear to you, for 10 min. he did not blink and only stared and stared and stared, awkwarddddd. Finally I say F-it and get on the next express train out since I dont want to be late, but it hits all the little stops instead of being awesome and taking me to Ogori quicker. Also as it turns out it was the express to Chikushi so I would have had to get off at Chikushi.
Didn't get off at Chikushi though, got off one stop ahead and got on the local train to Ogori in hopes I would arrive sooner. It was a local train so that was stupid thinking it would be rolling any faster but it was worth a try and I was mildly entertained with watching these two highschool boys rub their friends shaved head while he complained and they giggled. After which I nearly had a heart attack for the second time today when the taller boy decided he wanted to fix his shirt and so he unbuckled his belt, undid his pants and tucked it all right in right there with me thinking he was about to drop trow on the train. He was fast so nothing was revealed? Hahahaha Either way, finally get to Ogori, realize that somewhere in me dancing around in trains I had lost my ticket, so I pay the full price of 450 yet AGAIN to the guy at the gate and dont even bother to be pissy about since I wanted to get to school on time... a dur.
So I get to school, righhhhttt on time~ and take a seat in their little meeting area...thingy? so that Hirao-Sensei can come over and talk to me about my classes. As it turns out I'm in class S-4 (special 4 Hahahaha) and from July to September 2 other guys and I will be learning quickly in order to catch up to another class so we can just merge in. So yeah, then I got my books...like freaking 3 million of them that make my backpack look like the hulk and that weigh me down, and then I had another teacher come to talk about the rules in the school and what goes where and all that magical buisness. I was there from 8:55 till like 12:00 just talking about the school and trying not to fall asleep since I was just super tired.
Just as I was about to leave though I met these two americans who were nice and so we went to go get some tea and talk, They were both in the class that had been there longer and were really cool guys so I didnt mind talking and what not before I headed back here to Ohashi after I stopped for some Curry bread which is so wonderful I think its made of rainbows. Right now Im being lazy, trying to wait to go to sleep since tomorrow I dont have to go to school, I already took all the tests so they told me to just stay home and come back on Thursday to start classes. I think I'll go do laundry since I havent finished that...and then maybe read a book...or take a bath...Idk....Ugh sleepy.

First day???
So offically I moved into my dorm in Ohashi yesterday, and today was the first day I went to the school. However I didnt attend class today, instead I filled out a paper, took 2 tests, and was talked to about my schduel and what I would be doing everyday. Tomorrow I have to go back to the school (8:40 AM) to talk more about the class and what I have to do, before I offically start classes on Thursday.
So after my tests I went to have a quick lunch at Mr. Donut (which was nice) before I returned to the school to talk about my classes yada yada yada, and then I went out to go get my alien registration card done with Mishima-sensei. As it turns out Mishima-sensei spent 9 years in the UK and so we had a nice chat on our way to the registration office about the differnces in Japan and the US and UK, most of it had to do with how people change styles of food in other countries, For example, Hotto Motto apparently sells mexican style food, however it doesnt taste that much like mexican food from the states. And Japanese food in the states is not the same as eating it here in Japan, people change the tastes to suit the costumers kind of thing.
At that time it was drizzeling, not to bad, so we talked our way to the office, got all my papers filled out for my alien registration card and my insurance and then headed for Aeon to walk around. At which point it was pouring down rain like it was no bodies buisness, so I didnt mind that we stopped inside for a cup of coffee while we talked about music and all that. I know, damn we talked a lot, but I guess it was nice for him to practice his english and I didnt really mind. So after coffee we headed back for the train station, in which now we talked about Yakuza since we had saw some guys who didnt really look like very nice people. Mishima-sensei said he used to live next door to a Yakuza family and that at one point there had been a shooting, but later the group from next store came to apologize to his family for all the commotion. After we seperated ways and I came back here to my dorm in Ohashi while trying not to drown outside in the down pour.
My backpack is soaked yet luckily nothing got wet at all, and as of right now I am waiting for my laundry to be done since I just threw some clothes in the wash upstairs. Thus now I am sitting around being lazy and not really doing anything, although I really want some chocolate but am not sure I want to brave the weather and head for the Lawson down the street. Plus I look like a hot mess and all that so I think I'll just lay around and possible read the book I just got. Or try to read...whatever.
Ahhh~ I'm so lonely and bored, mama! Come back! I'm alone without you and Sijia and daddy. -sigh-

Almost on my own D:
It's Wednesday?
...Yeah Wednesday, and so far this whole shenanigans with my family hasnt been bad. We've eaten a lot of noodles, walked a million miles, and sweated like there was no tomorrow, not to mention all the pain my feet have been in in general. Since right now it is the rainy season in Japan (Tsuyu梅雨) there has been drizzle and light rain several days in a row now, though when the sun comes out the heat is back hot as ever only this time it's also humid so then it seems like its worse then usual. Rainy season has it's pro's though...like me getting a cute umbrella, plus then it's not as hot all the time with the little drizzel.
School starts for me with a test on July 4th or 5th, a day after my family leaves which isnt something i really look forward to all that much. I am such a huge mama's girl that it's not even hilarious. But I look forward to being on my own and all that, since it's really exciting and like a new adventure i guess haha. Once school starts I'll be busy-ish, I was told I would most likely have morning classes so that means I have to be at school by 8:40 AM. It's 15-20 min. away by train from my dorm, then another 15-20 min. of walking just to get to school, that is unless I get a bike which is scary cause I'm pretty sure I know how to ride a bike but...it's been so long and I'll probably make a dumbass out of myself. By bike it's probably only 10-15 min. so that would mean I would have to atleast be up and at the train station by 7:30 in the morning so I can get there on time, and maybe have time to spare so I can be lazy and walk slower.
My dorm itself in Shimoori is extreamly nice, it's exactly like a mini apartment, tiny tiny kitchen and bathroom and all. I don't move into that dorm yet though until around the week of the 9-16 since my room will not be ready yet, So on the 2nd I move into a dorm in Ohashi that isnt as apartment-y as the one in Shimoori. That means I will have to keep all my cute little kitchen stuff and all that packed away until I move to my offical dorm and am able to decorate like I want to. I have so many things that I have a grand total of 3 suitcases, one of which is going to be full of just my plates and pans and pots and stuff. It's kinda sad shopping for all the things i need with my family, since it's like when your child moves out only like super far away, but it's exciting that I'll have my own little place. Now all I need is my cat....Ugggghhhh. To bad my dorm wouldnt allow that.
Oh which, I realized a couple days ago what the commercial was with the two men crying on the motor bike was. When they put the full commercial on TV it was for Docomo smart phones and one of the men was supposed to be a Docomo phone in human form. They weren't crying but I dont know exactly what they were doing...yelling i think? It's kind of weird...I think it's funny.

I am such a huge mama's girl that it's not even hilarious. But I look forward to being on my own and all that, since it's really exciting and like a new adventure i guess haha. Once school starts I'll be busy-ish, I was told I would most likely have morning classes so that means I have to be at school by 8:40 AM. It's 15-20 min. away by train from my dorm, then another 15-20 min. of walking just to get to school, that is unless I get a bike which is scary cause I'm pretty sure I know how to ride a bike but...it's been so long and I'll probably make a dumbass out of myself. By bike it's probably only 10-15 min. so that would mean I would have to atleast be up and at the train station by 7:30 in the morning so I can get there on time, and maybe have time to spare so I can be lazy and walk slower.
My dorm itself in Shimoori is extreamly nice, it's exactly like a mini apartment, tiny tiny kitchen and bathroom and all. I don't move into that dorm yet though until around the week of the 9-16 since my room will not be ready yet, So on the 2nd I move into a dorm in Ohashi that isnt as apartment-y as the one in Shimoori. That means I will have to keep all my cute little kitchen stuff and all that packed away until I move to my offical dorm and am able to decorate like I want to. I have so many things that I have a grand total of 3 suitcases, one of which is going to be full of just my plates and pans and pots and stuff. It's kinda sad shopping for all the things i need with my family, since it's like when your child moves out only like super far away, but it's exciting that I'll have my own little place. Now all I need is my cat....Ugggghhhh. To bad my dorm wouldnt allow that.
Oh which, I realized a couple days ago what the commercial was with the two men crying on the motor bike was. When they put the full commercial on TV it was for Docomo smart phones and one of the men was supposed to be a Docomo phone in human form. They weren't crying but I dont know exactly what they were doing...yelling i think? It's kind of weird...I think it's funny.

Fukuoka Offically
This afternoon at like 12 something we landed here in Fukuoka Airport!
We got our bags, grabbed a taxi, checked in to our cute hotel with the smallest rooms, and wandered around aimlessly to just check out things. We know that we're going to have to buy things for when I move into my dorm, stuff like pots and pans and plates, and I want the cutest stuff...of course haha. So we just went around, checked out the Tenjin underground shopping arcade, then Best Denki for appliences. Afterwards my parents got tired and so they are taking a nap while my sister and I relax.
I don't think it's really hit me that I'm in Japan. Even though everything is in Japanese, all the signs, the language, it really hasnt hit me...or whatever. I've been waiting to blow up with excitement, but maybe that just isnt me? It doesnt mean I'm not excited, Im extreamly hapy and totally looking forward to my stay here, but i thought I would be like a squealing pig...maybe it's cause I'm not 12 anymore? Hahaha
So far it's hot, I know thats like 'Duh it's summer', but It's not too bad, though sometimes it's like standing in an oven. Luckily there's a nice breeze, but it's not exactly my best friend since it's been throwing around the skirt of my dress with the intention of flashing everyone and their mother, it's still nice. I am extreamly sidetracked by commercials right now, I just saw one of people crying on a motor bike? I'm not sure, it could have been them lipsyncing or being happy...it was a docomo commercial sooo i hope they were happy?
Anyway, I'll update when I can about anything and everything, though it may be slow at first I will definatly write about the sites and my adventures in Fukuoka.

Here I come?
So It's Friday, the last friday I'll ever spend here at home with my seriously awesome family. On Wednesday I board a plane with my parents and my sister to Newark, then from there another flight (12-13 hours) to Tokyo where we'll spend a couple hours before we all get on our last flight to Fukuoka. My school doesn't start till the 4th or 5th of July so the plan is to hang around, go sightseeing, get all the things I'm going to need, shop (of course) and just spend some time together before they help me move into my dorm and then leave the next day for home without me.
I already know I'm going to cry my eyes out at he airport when they leave.
And I mean seriously bawl.
and then this little piggy will go wee wee wee all the way back to her dorm.
I am of course nervous and excited for my move to Fukuoka. I know there's a lot of things at home I'm going to miss, all my family, my pets, the food, and just the way my house smells....if that makes any sense, But I am so ready for this.or i hope so cause i mean seriously.
Since it's been the last week at home I've been on the verge of tears every 5 seconds. Earlier when I walked into my parents room to go get quitips I nearly boohoo'd in the bathroom cause it would be one of the last times that i would invade their bathroom to take things for a while. Also when i nearly died tripping over my cat, Yama, in the hallway since it would be a while before I could trip all over mystupid cute cat.
My Sister has also made it her personal mission toharrass the shit out of me cling to me like there is no tomorrow. This morning she decided she was going to be my slave and then asked me a million questions pertaining to what i wanted to eat or what i wanted to drink. It's a sweet gesture...I guess...but it makes me that much sadder that i will no longer have to put up with her shenanigans, or atleast I wont have to put up with it in person, I know she's going to skype me and continue with her crazy talk soooo yeah. she'll give me no time to actually even really miss her nonsence, it'll be like i never left in the first place.
So to sum this up, I'm leaving on Wednesday, I want to cry all the time like a brat, my sister is driving me madnothing new and I'm mad excited for all this.
