What's sillier than white people getting kanji/hiragana/katakana tattoos? White people with their names tattooed on themselves in katakana! Hilarious! Imagine walking around with people reading your name off your foot or back.

I always forget that the trains here stop running at 12:30AM! I went to Harajuku last night to hang out and make friends, which was fun. Before I knew it, it was like 1AM and I was stuck in Harajuku.

I'm so pissed that I had to call in to work today. I just started there, and they probably think I got too drunk last night or was otherwise irresponsible ( Read more... )
