So today I am in Japan.
I got here last night, with the lovely Tom. So far it has been interesting. Interesting and confusing. Its weird, the people here speak some strange foreign dialect which I don't understand.
And this keyboard is covered in funny squiggly things.
Not like any keyboard I've ever seen before.
So today Tom and I managed to use a ticket vending machine. We discovered that they actually have an "english" option (which is handy).
This morning we went to Osaka station and just wandered around that part of the city, around some shops and places. There are lots of cute clothes here. Its disappointing that I don't have zillions of yen to spend on clothes.
Oh well, bye for now, blog, sir.

It's kind of silly.
I downloaded Skype because Capsicum was all like, Skype is the most awesome thing on the planet besides Norway and its inhabitants...but without any Skype contacts it sucks.
Um, if you have Skype, humour me by adding me? I'll probably never use it because really I like to just type I guess...and you can't sneakily scratch way up inside your nose when people can see you...
Ugh I'm watching MTV. Haha. It's stupid...they have a Next marathon on.
For those of you who don't know, Next is possibly the stupidest show on television. Basically the premise is that a bunch of over stereotyped American youths go on heavily scripted and extravagant dates and reject each other in cliched and often blatantly racist ways. Featuring ugly men and an endless supply of bleach blonde girls in denim mini skirts, it's obvious why I love it so much.
All the same it's terribly amusing.
Better than FOX News that's for sure.

Earmuffs and candy and watch and clickety click and Japan.
Warning: contains a lot of babbling about trivial parts of my life.
I haven't written a blog entry for such a long time that I'm not sure where to begin. So many things have happened between now and the last time I posted anything here, but nothing particularly exciting. Nothing that stands out from the rest as something I should write about.
But whatever, I'm writing now so I may as well fill up a little bit more space with some more words.
So since the last time I wrote I graduated from Harvard university with a law degree, as you may or may not have already heard. I have since taken a position in a Hollywood law firm which mostly represents clients we can't name due to their outstanding monetary value.
Having won a major case for an unnamed client last month, I have earned a substantial amount for such a recent graduate and am considering retiring next year and moving to a little cottage in Denmark with Tom so we can live happily ever after and get married and have children.
Okay well not quite.........well that was all a load of crap because I never went to Harvard or studied law or went to Hollywood or won a case or made lots of money and I can't retire next year or go to Denmark and Tom doesn't like marriage and it's a terrible thing to have children outside of wedlock, as we all surely know.
It is such a terrible shame when I am enjoying the clickety click noise of the keyboard getting hit so nice and fast but have nothign to write about in particular so I end up writing a long stream of nonsense.
Well I suppose I sould write some updates on my life.
I bought some earmuffs but they haven't arrived yet. They were cheap Jack Skellington ones from Hong Kong but it's okay because I didn't buy them for their fantastic quality. Most of the better quality ones I found on ebay were made of fur anyway. And I can't buy fur for ethical reasons and I also can't wear fur for allergy reasons.
There were also some cute hats on ebay which unfortunately all seemed to be made of rabbit fur. I would probably die if I wore rabbit fur.
I got a new watch and a whole bunch of candy for free yesterday because me and Capsicum went to visit her mum on the last day of her holiday here in Brisbane. Since she didn't want to take all this stuff back home with them, she gave us a bunch of chocolate bars and lollies and gave me another bag of lollies as well because Capsicum wouldn't eat them due to her diet. She also had a little bag of watches and gave me one. Capsicum's grandma had apparently left them all with her.
So I scored a new watch.
I played Fallout three for like half an hour but then was tired and got pissed off at my siblings constantly telling me what to do and Erikka telling me I was "grumpy" every five seconds (which she does a lot and thinks is HILARIOUS but in reality is just goddamn ANNOYING) and stopped playing. Then everyone else hogged the xbox til we left and I couldn't play it again.
Thomas and I bought our rail passes for Japan so now when we go there we can get a lot of trains.
We are going to Japan on the 25th of this month, which means I have to get myself aa colouring book.
For the plane ride.
Time to visit Crazy Chang's.

Universe-ish with a T minus the SHHH
Dear Frank,
This semester please try a little harder at university. I know you could have achieved much better results last semester had you TRIED. Yes, you passed, but honestly, you can do better. You got two fours and two fives for your classes. That means you just did a bit better than passing.
I know that's all well and fine and some people would be perfectly happy with that, but the fact is, Frank, you are capable of much more. I know this, because I observed you many times throughout the semester slacking off. You slept through many lectures, skipped half of your tutorials for once class and did nearly all of you work the night before it was due.
You submitted one of your news stories, due at midnight, at 11:40pm. That same night. Yes it was in on time, but I know it wasn't possibly the best you could have done, especially seeing as you started writing it at around 10pm THAT SAME NIGHT.
PLEASE don't do this again.
If you have to write essays, write them, EDIT THEM, make them RELEVANT, actually bother to do the referencing properly and put all those high school essay writing lessons to good use. Honestly, you know how to write essays. Don't get any more shit marks.
And you know when I say shit marks I don't mean credits instead of high distinctions. I mean don't get any more ACTUAL shit marks.
Oh, and with regards to that group project especially, please commit yourself to getting your work done efficiently and stay organised. It's for your own good, and for the other members of your group. You don't really want them all to suffer because you can't get it together.
So Frank, please listen to what I've just said, and TRY TO DO IT.
FOCUS slightly.
Oh, and get a job.
You lazy bitch.
Love, Frank.

Easter
So this is what a big kid's easter feels like.
As opposed to back in the say when my parents would get up really early and hide easter eggs all over the garden then we'd go out and find them all.
I mean, the easter bunny would come.
He'd also be pretty rad and leave chocolate bunnies and larger eggs on the dining table, usually.
So I'd end up with this pretty pile of shiny eggs.
It was always a fun occasion.
And there was always that thrill of trying to get as many eggs as you could before your younger sister did, even though she had much shorter legs than you and couldn't reach as high or run as fast.
And when the eggs were all collected, you'd always share them out so everyone had pretty even amounts anyway, because your family was nice like that.
Not this year, however. This year, what you see in that photo is what I have.
NO PRETTY EASTER EGGS.
What the fuck is wrong with the world....?
I mean these things are great and all but THEY AREN'T SHINY.
I THINK I'M GETTING OLD.
The box is even black. It's not even attempting to look cutesy.
Several of the chocolates inside are shaped like bunnies getting MARRIED.
LIFE IS TELLING ME SOMETHING. This lack of shiny pretty easter eggs, and this constant craving for a trip to the KG sushi train, and this whole hanging out with my boyfriend business and all the rest is leading me to think that maybe I am actually GROWING UP.
Like, I don't FEEL like an adult, but I am nearly legally one.
On May 17th I will be 18, and therefore an adult for legal purposes in this country.
How freaking weird.
But don't panic too much, Amy is coming over on tuesday and we are going to go to the shops and buy some (hopefully cheap by then) easter eggs and give them to each other.
Shiiiiiiiiiny pretty easter eggs.

Weird
Well the past few days have been brilliant. This boy that I met is absolutely amazing and makes me really, really happy.
Buuuuuuut there is just one thing that's kind of bad.
Now one of my friends keeps acting kind of odd. Like I understand, maybe she's jealous, maybe she hates it when I mention him because of that, maybe she's not JEALOUS as such, just kind of wistful or something, maybe she is just genuinely sick of me talking about him (even though it's been just a few days and I don't think I could have caused that much brain damage to her in that time) or maybe there's something else going on that I don't know about. But I don't fully understand why she will come on msn claiming to be a shit person and saying things like that she's been "kicked into the gutter" or something, when that really hasn't happened at all.
I definitely DON'T think that she is a shit person, I think she is a brilliant person.
I don't think she can say that I've ditched her for my boyfriend or anything, when I've only been with him for three days or something. In that time I have gone out with him ONCE, and I have gone out with my friend ONCE. Other times I have hung out with my sister or stayed at home or gone to university and hung out with my uni friends.
I don't see that as ditching her or turning her into a third wheel type thing or anything.
The other strange thing is that in real life she's fine. We're fine and cool and nice but then when we talk via MSN or something it turns almost nasty. Sometimes she says things that I just really don't understand. They really make me feel bad.
Not angry, I don't really tend to get angry at her, and not depressed, I'm far too happy for that at the moment. But there are things she says which just get to me a bit and make me wonder if I really did do something bad. But I don't think I did. So then I wonder where it's all coming from, and why she'd thinking it, or whether she's even thinking it at all or just saying it. Then if THAT were the case, I wonder why she says it if it's not what she's thinking.
I also wonder if she sometimes talks about me behind my back to other people. I understand if hse does, I probably would too f I were in her spot, I think it would really be unavoidable unless you just never spoke, but I hope she doesn't say man things about me.
I don't know why, if we're such good friends, it happens like this.
That something happens that makes me really, really happy and then she goes all weird on me like I've done something bad.
Maybe it'll just take a bit of time for her to see that I'm not ditching her for a boy.
And you know, if I did then ditch her for the boy, I guess it would prove that I am a bitch who doesnt care about my friends and she wouldn't want to be my friend anymore anyway.
But I'm not going to do that. I like to think that I'm not a mean person and that I can handle being nice to my friends.
You know that when I say the generic comment "I really really like you" and don't specify it to anyone, it applies to you too right?
I can like this boy and still like you.
Be happy about life.
It'll work.

Updated
I took this out of my myspace profile, but I've had it there for a long time and don't want to just delete it.
Here's a quote from me.
"A beautiful, sensitive, funny, witty, charming, loving, cute, handsome, sensual, intelligent, artistic, caring, intellectual, quirky guy who will make me laugh and cry at the same time, hold me close through the nights, let me cry on his shoulder, hold my hand when we walk along the beach, make sweet love to me in the moonlight and fulfill every one of my desires while at the same time not cramping my style. Go figure"
Under my "who I'd like to meet" section.
I took it out because I don't care about meeting another guy anymore =)
All the other awesome and hot guys in the world can go and meet Ruckus and Louise and my other friends, because that would be really cool.
I'm really happy right now.
Not as happy as I was feeling yesterday, but that is ONLY because I stayed up too late and am now kind of tired haha. The happiness is all still there, it's just that part of it is now asleep, I think.
