Ow.

I fell asleep last night, my heart aching. It hurt so much that I closed my eyes against the pain and tried to conjure up an alternate reality in which we had no need for this bloody fist-sized muscle. I felt that thin fire that Sappho described, only it wasn't in my skin but in my chest. I felt the valves close, the artery pause, pressure build,

It's...an...update???

Other than explody-heart syndrome, how are you? And yeah...you should probably get that checked out.

I've been fine. I suppose that I could be worse. I'm going to try to update this thing more often from now on. You're going to Japan! For how long? Where will you be?

I'm going for a year, and I'm going to be in the Kansai region. More specifically, Osaka. I'm going to Kansai Gaidai and I leave on Sat. ^.^

Updateage is good. I haven't talked to you forever, but then, I don't have much to talk about and I don't want to be creepy/stalky girl who doesn't live in MA anymore.

Things can ALWAYS be worse >.> When are you off to school? And are you going to China?

One of my Posse went to Osaka on an exchange program in high school for six weeks. She said that the hot spring bath houses are amazing, but that it was a little strange. Oh wait... or was she in Sapporo (or however you spell it)?

I always feel like I don't have anything to talk about, which is part of the reason that I don't update. But it's always nice to talk to people. Whenever I read what you write, I can always hear your voice and your contagious laugh. Then I get all nostalgic and sometimes teary-eyed, and I hate that horrible things are happening to you, but glad that some good things snuck in too. And you know that it's ok if you are Creep/Stalky Girl Who Doesn't Live In MA Anymore; I mean, Liz's job is being creepy for the most part. I guess that I'm wishing you luck and happiness (lots of it) and I'm trying not to be mushy or sappy about it.

I'm off to Hamilton on Sunday. I'm looking forward to it for some reason. It's bizarre. I should be in China in January until August. I'll keep you updated though, you do the same ;
