Hey everybody, so, I know I don't update this journal at all anymore, and it has mostly just turned into a way to keep up with my friends on my flist, so here's the deal:  I've started a travel blog, so I can write about my travels, which I've been wanting to do for a while now, and not worry about keeping up with a regular online journal.  My ( Read more... )

I know, first entry in months and its a sille meme.  OH well!

I just got back to Japan yesterday, and promptly passed out for 12 hours. Now I'm awake, showered the plane ickyness off of me, updated my calender and to-do list with my insane life, and started organising and planning my lessons and my stuff.

Okay okay okay.  
I'm going to try, REALLY try to keep a better journal from now on.  Really.  I'm going to give it a good go.

At the moment, the moment being 3pm on christmas day, with a hot cup of coffee in my hand and a pile of books and instruments piled on a couch waiting for me  to explore their potential, I'm in Nikko working at a lodge.  The ( Read more... )
