A lot of fun, awesome, happy, amazing things have been going on in my life since the last time I updated this journal.  Probably the best thing that has happened to me in Japan is falling head over heels for a boy I was best friends with in 9th grade ( Read more... )

Well, lately I have been reeaaaallly slack about updating my lj.  No more will I be slack!  I feel like I'm making up a word when I type the word "slack ( Read more... )

For some reason, I am once again surprised by all the things that happen in Japan.  I start to feel relaxed and think I understand what is happening and then I go on a trip to Tokyo with my coworkers.
