So HI!
Some people were saying I hadn't written in a while. And thought I was, you know, dead. Or sold to white slave traders. Not yet. Still here. Somedays I think I shall never escape. And I cry myself to sleep. Okay so not really.
And so. My life this month. Last I wrote was the middle or end of Augustish? Nothing much up since then. Um. Got a new neighbor! Ana. Is very nice. We went to the beach with Reed a couple or three weeks ago. Forgot to bring a swim suit. So yeah, just sorta stripped to my undies and jumped in. Ana did too! Don't look at me like that. It was the OCEAN. Poor Reed had the worst time dragging us out of the ocean. Huzzah for another fish! I got a bit sunburned and some freaking huge assed bug bit me. Twice. Was most unpleasant.
Was kept at the school until ungodly hours helping these two speech contestants kids for an english speaking contest. Left very little time for me to so much as breathe after I got home before I had to go to bed and get up and destroy the entire FREAKING UNIVERSE but I'm much better now. Since the contest is over and I can sleep again and no longer have dreams about these freaking speaches that I still know by heart because I have them better memorized than the damn students. Who worked really hard and I'm proud of by the way.
Bought the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XII. Played it in English and hated it. Not because it was bad, but beacuse it PISSED ME THE FUCK OFF every five seconds. Not so much better in Japanese, except now it tells me "YOU STOLE @$%&*$#@!" and I'm sitting here like "kay. wtf is that now then? can I eat it?" But hey, it's something to do when I'm being antisocial on the weekends.
Which I wasn't for the... autumn day off thingy! By the by. Went out Monday night to a bar in Ishinomaki (the next largerish city the other way from Sendai, for those in the know, just another city for those that care not) and then came back to yamoto (where I live) and went to a karaoke/hostess bar. Was with Ana and Reed and Tom. Why no I wasn't drinking and stupid and singing like a retarded dying cat. Then the next day Reed, Ana and I went to the beach in Nobiru (which is like a twenty minute drive from our apartments) and it was pretty pretty. But the water was frigid as hell. So Ana and I played battle tennis (which is like, kiddie tennis with little rackets and a soft ball) and Reed made fun of our mad ninja skills. That we didn't, you know, have. Yeah we sucked. Shut up. Then we went sightseeing a bit. A hike up to a lookout over Nobiru or some such place, I don't know where it was really, but it was pretty. And another beach with these really cool giant rock island thingys that Reed climbed and almost died. And the creepy assed icy still water of DOOM housing some kind of water monster that eats puppies. Was scary yo. Like really. It pretended to be shallow and then when you got near it all the sand turned into sink holes and it sucked you down and ate you!
Or would have had the sinking sand and cold water and thing at the bottom not terrified me utterly from going near it. I was safe! I survive to be eaten by something else. The kids that venture near can fend for their own damn selves. Then Ana and I climbed out onto these giant rock things, jumping over a sink hole to do it, and we did not die. There are pictures on facebook. Probably. Maybe. Did I put them up? Oh. And I got bit again. My arm is still swollen, and feels like, I dunno. painful. Something probably laid eggs in my arm. It would figure.
And then I was exhausted and my brain shut down. Oh. I did not go to the giant ALT camping trip thingy. 1) because I, quite literally, have no money whatsoever. 2) because large groups of people give me hives. So there.
Also in school life: I was molested by a first grader. None was more surprised than I.
Oh, and today, two little first grade girls attached themselves to my arms and rubbed their faces all over my skin. Because that's not weird at all. Freaking children goddammit. I washed my arms in the sink after class while the other teachers looked at me like I was a freak.
And what else. The weather is getting colder. I've started shutting my window during the day. I open it at night so I can sleep under my thick fluffy blankets of joy without getting too hot. No. It is not strange. They are fluffy blankets of joy! JOY.
FYI. Jogging when it's cold is fat and smelly and sucky. Where does one by long johns here? No, seriously, where?
And....... I'm pretty sure that's all I got. Uh. Yeah, it really is. Except my main elementary school goes batshit crazy with the observation classes. Seriously. I have at least three a month. And I only go there four or five times a month. See what I mean? Okay okay, usually they keep it to two a month. Last... no, uh. August... what comes before August? Well whatever month that was we had three. Was insane.
I shall not be eating in October due to the pay for August at the end of this month. I'll get about a dollar, after rent and loan and Car Point (FYI for the unaware: Car Point = fuck you in the ass with a chainsaw and no lube). Maybe I'll buy a stick of gum for my birthday. (Which is in October, for the unknowing. I'll be turning four. Do you think they'll deport me if I convince them a four-year-old is not a good ALT?)
And yeah. That's really all I got. Much love to all the people that, you know, want my love. And the rest of you can die in hole. 'Cause I'm awesome, and who wouldn't want my love?
My fellow Miyagi mates, stay warm. My happy little Coloradoans as well. Unless it's still like freaking 90 over there. One can never tell.
ps. and then rabid mutant bunnies riding clowns invaded and everyone died. horribly.
