Despite my post a couple of weeks ago, about not knowing what is right for me, I'm starting to feel better about things.  I don't know what I was so freaked out about before.  I'm young and can do whatever the hell I feel like.  I still don't know exactly what I am going to do, but there are basically three options I need to decide between.

1. Get ( Read more... )

I have a strange question.

In America/Canada etc., there are certain common dog-specific names.  Things like Rover and Rex.  What do people in other countries commonly name their dogs?  I've googled around and haven't found anything really useful, although I've found lots of lists of common dog names in English.

I also found a list for Japan.

This weekend I went to Lawrence to visit two of my best friends, Aaron and Drew.  As you can see from the following picture (one of only two I took the whole night because I was too busy drinking, I guess), Aaron is a lumberjack and Drew is a guido.

When speaking of a wedding, the phrase "giving the bride away" creeps me out. 
Blech.

My life feels a little strange right now, but I'm not sure exactly how to explain it.  Every day I wake up feeling like I'm waiting for something to happen, but it just won't happen.

I'm living with my parents while I look for a job, but nothing is turning up.  Maybe I'm being too picky, but nothing feels right so far.  I can't complain about my ( Read more... )

I promised you bitches some stories about my vacation in Germany, so I have come bearing stories.  Most of the things I did were not that interesting in and of themselves.  I did quite a few traditional touristy things like the museums and castles.  I also went to some less touristy museums like the Medical History Museum and the Erotik Museum.

So I'm in Germany.  It's pretty fucking awesome, I must say.  So far I've been in Berlin, Bonn, Mainz, Würzburg and I'm currently in Munich. Right now I'm in a disgusting hostel, but I figure staying in at least one gross place is part of the overall backpacking experience.  As long as they have a bed and no serial murderers, I'm okay with it.  I' ( Read more... )

So I'm back in the States.  It's been pretty uneventful so far.  Things are going to pick up soon though.  I'm going to be in Kansas City this Wednesday-Sunday, then it will be Thanksgiving week.  After that I'm going to Germany/France for a couple of weeks, and then it will be Christmas, of course.  I hope to be back in Korea in mid-January, ( Read more... )

Seriously, people.  The Tokyo airport is wicked boring.

Yesterday (Thursday) was my last real day of classes.  Today is a teacher's work day, which I am exempt from, and on Monday and Tuesday I get to train the new native teacher, but I'm not actually teaching.  Basically I'll just be able to hang out and make a nuisance of myself.  I'm going to try to catch the bus into Seoul on Wednesday and spend a ( Read more... )
