I am currently eating a cookie that got fried with an apple slice, chilling at my house with my host family while the littles are 'eating'. I guess I'll try to review my week or something.
My hair didn't get cut, until Ikuchin cut it for me on the day of the full moon.
I keep running into the Teacher that's a little scary and a lot of interesting.
I made it to school by bike within 30 minutes. I was scared I was late. I paid for it by nearly being sick to my stomach.
I've been eating spicy things lately. Not because I want them, but because they're in my dinner/breakfast. Wasabi powder beats paste. But I can still handle it. Curry is awesome. Even if I have to stick my tongue out to cool it.
Speaking of hot, my baths have been WAY too hot lately. And I'm the one that's filling the water. I keep ending up sick to my stomach outside the bath. It's a sad day for the Runa. Hot baths have always been my favorite. And now that I can have as many as I want, I don't seem to want them anymore. Well...my body doesn't. I'm totally all for it.
The kids are just getting cuter here. Ah, that's right. Yesterday was Ai-chin's birthday. I didn't know until everyone showed up as we were winding down our night, with a cake and happy faces. I didn't have a gift, but thankfully I have massage skills, so I gave her a body massage instead. She said it was the best present, which is most likely a lie, but I was still happy I could give her something.
Yesterday I had work with the English teacher that wants me to come in so her kids get real foreigner experience. I had to pretend not to understand Japanese. I think I might've annoyed her a bit with that, because then I insisted on English translations of her Japanese instructions. ^.^ I was a little annoyed at having to lie for her. So it all worked out. And I didn't get on the wrong train once the entire way there or back. Yay me.
I've been annoyed a lot lately. I get frustrated, and then feel bad because I didn't have sufficient reason for such annoyance. I'm trying to work on it.
I've lost even more weight~! Yays! Now my pants don't really fit. But still, yay!
I get to play I mean teach, the kids that don't have their parents with them today! I wonder if that came out right. Prolly not. Oh well.
I'm kinda cold now. Brb.
Its amazing how cold you can feel one minute, and how hot another.
Oh right, So my hair, right? I cut it about 2 and a half inches. My mom lost her mind. Told me she'd cut off all funding if I cut my hair off, so I better be well situated before then. Yes, I will be disowned over my hair. And in typical Runa fashion, that just makes me want to cut it all off even more. I mean really, do you think ANY threat is a good idea? When I don't give a damn? It just makes it more likely that I'm gonna do it. But I'd already decided to wait til after Winter, so we'll face that hurdle around my 21st birthday.
I went to a Coffee Shop with Gon-chan where we had yummy sweets and coffee and read manga they had there. It was really nice, and they didn't even tell us when they'd closed. So we overstayed our welcome without knowing it. But they told us to come back with a genuine smile, so I don't think they minded.
Ikuchin's unpacking the Christmas stuff. I think she's really brave to do it with kids around. Yuuna has started teething. She keeps biting me. It doesn't hurt, but it feels like I've been demoted to food. Alrighty, I should stop so I have something to post on the other blog.
Bye byes~!
I cried at this video. It's actually amazing. I'm not sure what message you guys will take from it, but I was impressed.
This video is SO WEIRD!!!!! But it's kinda interesting.....

Hair Talk
Yes, it's about my hair. I see the eye rolls and sighs of resignation. Bear with it.
So I have an 'appointment' of sorts to get my hair cut tomorrow. It's tomorrow because the full moon is on Monday, and I'm still following the family tradition of cutting only on the three days of the full moon. (Yes, the day before and the day after count) So I keep thinking about what to do with it. At first, I decided on just a trim because I have all of these various reasons why I shouldn't just complete get it cut off. Then it occurred to me that I could just tell Dai-chan to do as he likes. Which means the decision will be completely out of my hands. But if it turns out bad, I have no one to blame but myself regardless, and then I still have to live with it.
Until now, I'd been thinking of my hair in terms of how others will like it or react to it. Right now, I'm trying to think about what just *I* want. And it's so hard! Because I'm naturally apathetic, I don't really care. It's interesting that it's so long it can be sat on, but it's not difficult to care for. I get a little giggly and happy about that kind of thing. But I'm also rather tired of dealing with all the tangles at the end of the day. And thinking of new hairstyles.
My hair is really important to me in a few ways, but it's also utterly useless in other ways. It's a symbol of my femininity, and it's such a pretty color. It's soft, and it feels silky, and it almost always smells good. I get compliments on it and it's often a conversation starter. Also, winter is just starting, and I've always kinda laughed at people that cut their hair right before winter since it provides warmth. Actually, oddly enough, that's the strongest reason yet for me to not cut my hair too much. And I hadn't thought of it before writing out this post.
In other ways, it keeps tangling and turning into a rats nest. It's hard to think of hairstyles, and I get headaches if I have it up for too long. It feels like I'm flaunting it when I take it down even if I don't have any intention of doing such a thing. I feel like too much of my pride and personality is wrapped around my hair, and that such vanity is unnecessary. It's always getting split ends, and there's various colors in it that make me feel awkward. Buying Conditioner is a pain, and I only use it on the ends of my hair.
Those are my arguments for and against it. So you see I'm fairly stuck. I'm not asking for opinions on it, though you're all more than welcome to tell me what you think. I'm trying to figure out what I think, and what I want. It's nearly impossible though. I'm just not used to caring about silly things like this. *sigh*
On a new note, I've been reading through my blog from a year ago to get a sense of the me from then versus the me from now. When I read my posts, I cringe at my grammar mistakes, but I'm impressed with how vividly the memories of the event come back to me. I even remember the dream I mentioned in passing on Christmas. It's so weird. But I'm rather glad that it's so. Damn....I really really wanna know what that quote I mentioned was from!!! Does anyone know?
"Could it be that I...I...I was wham-bam-thank-you-ma'amed?!"
Heehee....sorry, still giggling. I see why I posted it.
Have a good weekend everyone!

I have 7 minutes to write this blog.
I am limiting myself in an effort to not turn this into a hard-to-do thing. Okay, that totally makes sense in Japanese, but I think the grammar is wrong for English....*frown* But this is for the peeps that apparently choose my blog over their homework (Yes, TJ shoutout)
Rozy, I can't believe how busy you're staying! What school did you apply to, and where is it located?
I miss everyone. But I've noticed I get the most lonely when I'm sitting by myself, or not interacting with someone I like. So for all you peeps with a hole in your lives where I usually am, start talking up some other peeps you want to get to know better. (I kinda have this weird feeling I'm suggesting I get cheated on.....=.=?)
Coffee Hour SUCCCCCKS!!!! I spent FIVE HOURS on something I have zero interest in, and that is NOT including the hour and a half I spent waiting around for it to start up. (3 hours in travel, 1 hour in tour that I didn't get to participate in, because I got left behind so I did homework, and 1 hours of 'coffee hour') We are required to go if we don't have a conflicting class, so we talk to people very awkwardly, don't know what questions are okay to ask, can't always understand the answers, it's so crowded and noisy you can't hear yourself think, and even though there's food, its free so of course it's gone before you can blink twice. Jeez! I was so hungry!!! Not fair!!!
I'm beginning to get irritated today, so I'm trying to step back and see things from another point of view, but it's kinda hard. I just really wanna hurt someone lately....and I don't know any masochists here.....or anyone that loves me enough to accept the pain I cause (yes, bf shoutout) here. Times up.
Dude, Bee looks utterly awesome in the anime....Now I wanna watch the anime.....=.=;;;; Damnit....

Don't enter a really hot bath when you're still recovering.....
@_@ Not to be explicit, but I ended up so sick I had to lay on my bed in nothing but a towel and try to control my breathing while my body cooled down. =.= That was after I stumbled into a fair number of doors and walls on the way. And after I chugged a good amount of water down. Which also left me feeling less than stellar. Bleeeeh.
I'm trying to get this posted, write a new chapter for my story, post it, and get offline, all before 10 30. Bf tends to get online right around 11 every night, and then I canNOT get to bed before 1-2 am. I need sleep damnit! So I'm trying to avoid the temptation and get to bed before he even gets online tonight. Sorry love.
I just KNOW there was something else I wanted to mention....
Oh, only *I* would be looking at a bag, thinking, "Oh how useful and cute!" only to realize it was a diaper bag. =.=;;
Today I went to a girl scout's thing, where I got to play with Aki-chan. (I was surprised she was like 33) She's really fun, so I'd like to hang out again, but I don't wanna be a bother.
Errr....It looks like Ikchin might not be able to go to the Crafts Museum with me tomorrow after all. I might go by myself. It shouldn't be too hard or dangerous, right? *shrug* I'm more worried about how expensive it might be. But I have to go for a class, so there's no helping it, you know?
Speaking of expenses....I'm supposed to teach the Salon-tachi on Friday, but Hanna's birthday party is the same night, and around the same time..... >.< I don't know what to do, really. I wonder if I can go to the party late, and maybe start the lesson early, or push the lesson back, and leave the party early. :S I don't wanna not go, cause it feels like forever since we played together.
I'm so surprised by people's concern here. I've been sick all week, right? Every day that I've been there (for as long as I managed to be there), I've been asked if I'm all right, encouraged to not push myself too hard, and all sorts of other things. One girl that I don't really know all that well, but wouldn't mind getting to know better, told me "I miss your genki-ness!" about a class we take together. Normally I talk in that class, but I only spoke twice (and that's pushing it) that day and when I did, I actually made the teacher wait for me to clear my throat and finish hacking before I spoke. The talkative, disliked girl basically took over the class while I was indisposed. Oh right, "Genki" is health or energy or enthusiasm. I was both flattered and surprised that someone actually gives a damn about what I say in that class.
I also got an email from a classmate that I don't know all that well (but I like) where the first line was "Hello my sweetheart!" and I had to giggle. We had explained that day that 'sweetheart' is generally childish or condescending unless you know the person well.
I received an email from an author I edit for with an e-card attached to it hoping I got better. It was so cute. She used another beta for the most recent chapter at my suggestion, and reminded me that I have access to the next chapters already. I totally forgot about it. Now I'm excited and contemplating reading it. *grin* And my other main author refused to use another beta, and then told everyone to ignore the beta-note I left for the readers, explaining that it was my fault it was so late, and to please complain to me. She said she'd throw a fit if anyone complained because I couldn't help being sick, but I should have still been able to do my work, you know? Seriously I feel so spoiled, especially when I think back to how life is at home, where everyone is ALWAYS taking care of me. =.= I feel both childish and confused as to how I'm motherly when I'm constantly cared for. But it works for me. I love so many people! ^////^ It's the least bit awkward because others can rank their loved ones, but I really can't. At all. *siiiiiiiiiiiigh*
Okay, I really need to get going if I want to evade poor bf.
I stared through the entirety of this video. Ikuchin also didn't understand a bit of it, so that's the only warning:

Wow, Everyone's blogging
I'm happy! It's great! I've read up on everyone but April. She never told me her blog..... :S
I caught a cooooooold!! It sucks...I didn't even go to school today. I just slept and studied, cause midterms are this week.
I'm honestly surprised by the severity of colds here in Japan. I now understand why people collapse from them. I always thought it was exaggerated, but like most things, I'm realizing they're not very exaggerated in manga after all. It's always really surprising.
I feel like there's a lot more I should be talking about, but I'm tired and want to go to sleep. I'm really disappointed that neither bf nor mommy were online this morning. It's totally weird. Oh well. Time savings set in too, so it's even earlier now. *sigh* Sleep it is.
I'm teaching some children tomorrow, so I'm reading up on children behaviors and I found this one. I'm wondering if maybe it's not rather accurately decriptive of me.
"Satisfied with Second Place
Behavior: Specific attitudes and actions of this child at home and/or at school.

"Satisfied with Second Place
Behavior: Specific attitudes and actions of this child at home and/or at school.
- Can always identify classmate who is first.
- Won't really compete against first-place student.
- Usually believes he/she is only worthy of second place. Though a top student, seems to have a sense of inferiority.
- May fear failure.
- Sees accepting second place as security against having to keep first place.
- Reveals this stance in many situations: academics, sports, getting in line.
- Seems to make no comparison between him/herself and others, which is a healthy stance. However, always talks of being behind first-place student, and this alters his/her self-concept.
- May idolize-or resent-first-place student.
- Often very well liked.
- Humble.
- Considerate."

My Weekend has been....****
*hangs head*
First off, I am so sorry to my beloved bf. This weekend has definitely been the worst one in Japan thus far. First off, Friday, I didn't get nearly enough sleep. Then I went to the Salon, and things went well for a while. Then things began to go bad there, though I didn't realize it.
First, Ikuchin told me she wasn't going to the concert. The concert was a Tango music concert. I didn't even really want to go, except that Ikuchin was going, and the tickets were expensive. You don't reject expensive gifts like that without serious reason. Like Ikuchin had. Sao-tan caught a sickness from Yuuna-nyan. (Ikuchin caught it from Yuuna-nyan too, but took medicine and got better.) So Ikuchin had to take care of Sao-tan instead of going to the concert. The horrible thing is, I didn't even want to go, but Ikuchin had been preparing for it for weeks. She was uber excited. And she couldn't go. *hangs head*
I also had a bright spot on Saturday: My box came! I feel warmth again!!!
So anyway, Saturday, I got ready, and wore high heels that I thought wouldn't hurt my feet, but I was wrong. I've got like 4 spots of skin that were torn off before I managed to get home last night. *grimace*
Then, my friends and I were late. Then my hope to get to know the Salon peeps better went up in smoke when they all ran off even before the concert ended. (BTW, the concert was fine for the first half, but the second went into drama overdrive, and the only one able to dance was the singer. I played with a glow stick for most of it...too much energy) After that, four of us went out to eat.
Dinner was actually good. I enjoyed that.
Then we came home, and I realized I'd lost the very important necklace that I always wear. I insisted on getting on the computer because I really miss bf when I don't wear it. I got to talk to him, but everyone went to sleep and our time had to be cut short. I've kinda been tearing up randomly since I lost the necklace. I feel like I failed myself, bf, and even Kei-chan. I know I'm prolly the only one that put that much stock in those things, but it was really my happy charm. I could always toy with it when I was worried or thinking of home and loved ones and immediately feel better.
Ikuchin went on a trip today, and she was leaving super early in the morning, so I figured that Sao-tan, Ai-chin and Shin-san would leave at the same time as Ikuchin. So I promised to be online to talk to bf, and I lied. Because even though I barely slept (I'm sick from Sao-tan, and I rather detest Japan's colds right now), and I was totally awake and ready to talk to him this morning, they were still in here sleeping. And Saotan woke up screaming a few times last night for certain (cause I listened to it), so I couldn't just insensitively waltzed in and turned on the computer and made a racket. Hell, I was so worried about waking them up that I didn't even eat breakfast. I just got ready and left. Which wasn't the best idea. Today has really sucked.
I had a field trip. Yay? Not really. I spent about 15 dollars today just on the field trip. And I didn't even pay for my own lunch. I was treated by the teacher because she's my advisor's kohai, so I'm kinda under her wing or something. Don't know. We realized we had a common bond on Friday. Talk about fortuitous.
First, 'chikai' which translates to 'close' is a LIEEEEE!!! Never believe them! 45 minutes by train is NOT what I would call close. And I had to change trains TWICE! I got lost on the way back and it took 2 hours. *rolls eyes* On the plus side, I no longer panic. I just get off, figure out where I went wrong, and try again.
Then, we were at a perfectly cheap and nice festival and one SINGLE PERSON was bitchy about how she was sick of the festival food, so we had to go to a restaurant. The teacher paid for me, so I guess I shouldn't care, but I ate one measley plate, because it was Korean food, which means pretty spicy, and had to pay 840. From a buffet. One plate. Just saying.
After that, we had to take ANOTHER train, to a godforsaken place, pay ANOTHER entrance fee, waited forever for slow ass people to catch up, wandered a museum about human rights that just made me want to cry even more than I already did, and then walked this abandoned road to a ferry that took us across the river. Where we met an old man I would not term as 'creepy' but certainly not as 'normal'. I half seriously joked the whole way that they were taking us to their evil lair to kill us and stuff our innards with yucky vegetables. Because none of us had a clue where we were.
Then, we listened to the guy talk in Japanese for an hour or more. I'm NOT that good at Japanese. And most peeps were obviously zoned out. But only three of us left early, and we were all female. This is how I discovered that I am NOT the only one with a creepy stalker or three. All of us have experiences with some creepiness apparently. If I didn't feel so bad right now, I'd go into detail about it. As it is, I'll do that later.
Like I said earlier, I got lost. Then I stopped by the store to buy dinner and a daikon, because I heard cubed daikon is good for colds. No one told me they were spicy as hell if you ground them up. I discovered that myself. Bleh. My throat still hurts from that. *hangs head* Today just really sucks.
There were obviously good things this weekend as well, but the majority was overwhelmingly bad. I'm sick enough that I'm just not even entertaining the thought of going to class tomorrow morning. I MAY go to the last one, but I don't know. I really just wanna curl up under a blankie and sleep for the next two weeks. I'm gonna get started on the hybernation soon. Wish me luck!
The Theme song (at the end) from the Drama I just finished watching:

So anyway, Saturday, I got ready, and wore high heels that I thought wouldn't hurt my feet, but I was wrong. I've got like 4 spots of skin that were torn off before I managed to get home last night. *grimace*
Then, my friends and I were late. Then my hope to get to know the Salon peeps better went up in smoke when they all ran off even before the concert ended. (BTW, the concert was fine for the first half, but the second went into drama overdrive, and the only one able to dance was the singer. I played with a glow stick for most of it...too much energy) After that, four of us went out to eat.
Dinner was actually good. I enjoyed that.
Then we came home, and I realized I'd lost the very important necklace that I always wear. I insisted on getting on the computer because I really miss bf when I don't wear it. I got to talk to him, but everyone went to sleep and our time had to be cut short. I've kinda been tearing up randomly since I lost the necklace. I feel like I failed myself, bf, and even Kei-chan. I know I'm prolly the only one that put that much stock in those things, but it was really my happy charm. I could always toy with it when I was worried or thinking of home and loved ones and immediately feel better.
Ikuchin went on a trip today, and she was leaving super early in the morning, so I figured that Sao-tan, Ai-chin and Shin-san would leave at the same time as Ikuchin. So I promised to be online to talk to bf, and I lied. Because even though I barely slept (I'm sick from Sao-tan, and I rather detest Japan's colds right now), and I was totally awake and ready to talk to him this morning, they were still in here sleeping. And Saotan woke up screaming a few times last night for certain (cause I listened to it), so I couldn't just insensitively waltzed in and turned on the computer and made a racket. Hell, I was so worried about waking them up that I didn't even eat breakfast. I just got ready and left. Which wasn't the best idea. Today has really sucked.
I had a field trip. Yay? Not really. I spent about 15 dollars today just on the field trip. And I didn't even pay for my own lunch. I was treated by the teacher because she's my advisor's kohai, so I'm kinda under her wing or something. Don't know. We realized we had a common bond on Friday. Talk about fortuitous.
First, 'chikai' which translates to 'close' is a LIEEEEE!!! Never believe them! 45 minutes by train is NOT what I would call close. And I had to change trains TWICE! I got lost on the way back and it took 2 hours. *rolls eyes* On the plus side, I no longer panic. I just get off, figure out where I went wrong, and try again.
Then, we were at a perfectly cheap and nice festival and one SINGLE PERSON was bitchy about how she was sick of the festival food, so we had to go to a restaurant. The teacher paid for me, so I guess I shouldn't care, but I ate one measley plate, because it was Korean food, which means pretty spicy, and had to pay 840. From a buffet. One plate. Just saying.
After that, we had to take ANOTHER train, to a godforsaken place, pay ANOTHER entrance fee, waited forever for slow ass people to catch up, wandered a museum about human rights that just made me want to cry even more than I already did, and then walked this abandoned road to a ferry that took us across the river. Where we met an old man I would not term as 'creepy' but certainly not as 'normal'. I half seriously joked the whole way that they were taking us to their evil lair to kill us and stuff our innards with yucky vegetables. Because none of us had a clue where we were.
Then, we listened to the guy talk in Japanese for an hour or more. I'm NOT that good at Japanese. And most peeps were obviously zoned out. But only three of us left early, and we were all female. This is how I discovered that I am NOT the only one with a creepy stalker or three. All of us have experiences with some creepiness apparently. If I didn't feel so bad right now, I'd go into detail about it. As it is, I'll do that later.
Like I said earlier, I got lost. Then I stopped by the store to buy dinner and a daikon, because I heard cubed daikon is good for colds. No one told me they were spicy as hell if you ground them up. I discovered that myself. Bleh. My throat still hurts from that. *hangs head* Today just really sucks.
There were obviously good things this weekend as well, but the majority was overwhelmingly bad. I'm sick enough that I'm just not even entertaining the thought of going to class tomorrow morning. I MAY go to the last one, but I don't know. I really just wanna curl up under a blankie and sleep for the next two weeks. I'm gonna get started on the hybernation soon. Wish me luck!
