So things with Hiroaki are pretty much over. Which is for the best because his intentions were never really about me but about my body and American-ness, and my intentions concerning him were based more on the idea of him rather than the reality.

Honest to god, I never read, look at, or even think about horoscopes.

But today I'm bored at work and looking up my Cancer compatibility with Hiroaki's Leo.  Even though I claim not to be taking him seriously (I'm just having fun, I swear).  Even though there's no guarantee he even wants to date me.  Even though he's Japanese and for some reason ( Read more... )

Okay, should be posting this on my Japan blog, but putting it here for now as follow-up to my earlier post.

I weighed in today and found I've lost about 1.5 pounds so far.  It's not much, but it's a sign I'm headed in the right direction.  The process will be slow-going, but at least it's going at all in the first place ( Read more... )

Wow, so...I've been a terrible LJist the past...five months. I had to count that out on my fingers. Ouch ( Read more... )

 I love you MacBook Pro, and I hope we have a very long, loving, and lasting relationship!

I love you, Mommy!  I love you, Daddy!  I love you, thousand dollars I had to say goodbye to to get this laptop!
