Hm... Been pretty preoccupied with some personal stuff recently, and therefore haven't had that much to write here.  Hopefully I'll have some good material in the next couple of weeks.  Lots of people have been quitting their jobs, now that the winter is over, so there are lots of Farewell parties going on.  Not only that, but I'll be subbing in ( Read more... )

Today, I was told by a lady that I have the most beautiful gums she has ever seen!

Considering I live in Japan, that's probably not very difficult to do.  Considering this lady always makes such a big deal over the fact that her family is a giant group of dentists, I suppose I should have been flattered.  I was more embarrassed than anything, and ( Read more... )

Blahhh I've been so frustrated lately.  I really dislike my new roommate.  She leaves her stuff all over the place and has complete disregard for other's stuff/schedules.  I heard at her last place she completely rearranged the furniture while her roommate was at work, without asking first.

A lot has happened since I last wrote.  My boyfriend has moved to Japan and is currently a ski instructor at a major resort here in Hokkaido.  His friend' ( Read more... )

I finally made it out to ski, for the first time in 10 years (or maybe more!!).  I went with my roommate and a friend of hers to a mountain about an hour away by train and bus.  We got there pretty early, just as the day's classes were beginning, so we were able to get in front of them for the lift.  Jackie was kind enough to stick with me for a ( Read more... )

Today is World AIDS Day.  I tried to get a banner from JoinRed.com, but registration is down.

I guess I just wish there was more awareness of AIDS in the world.  Not just of the disease itself, but of the facts.  So many people are afraid of it, and not for the right reasons.  Sure, it's dangerous for the infected individual, but it doesn't have ( Read more... )

I just realized that I cannot remember the rest of this poem:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November.
All the rest have thirty-one,
Except February...?

I decided to try and find the rest of the verse, but when I did, I realized why I could never remember the ending. None of them rhyme.  Please check here for many examples.  I guess this ( Read more... )
