This song is making me cry so I have to post it here. It is "Abaredasu" by Ulfuls. I typed it from the lyrics and then did the translation. (It isn't very literal, and I got stuck on some parts, but I hope you can at least understand the overall beauty of the song. Click on the title.)
ウルフルズ ー 暴れ出す
ああ 神様オレは 何様ですか
どうしていつも まちがえるのか
悩みはたえず オトナになれず
眠れぬ夜を 今夜もまた
笑ってごまかす 声もむなしく
飛び出すことも できないままに...

So today is the first day of school, and here is me missing it, because I am really fucking sick.
I got about 2 hours of sleep last night because my stomach hurt so bad during the night. So I put a heating pad on it, which didn't help, and it continued to make upsetting noises. Then, being the genius I am, I woke up...

i can't wait to make my own pumpkin seeds...
sounds like you have a case of the stomach flu... if you have a fever it may be strept... the former usually takes care of itself, but strept can hang around... with strept, I had a low fever for a couple weeks before I peaked at 104.
get better! or else you will equate being sick with being in America and you will want to get back to Japan even more.

i wish i knew a home remedy but all i know is that a hot coke and lemon will help a cough.
i wish i knew a home remedy but all i know is that a hot coke and lemon will help a cough.I think it's like some sort of cruel joke that I am going to call up and book studio time while my throat is all swollen up like a poison pufferfish. I'm trying not to talk, but when I do talk, I try not to move my throat muscles so it sounds like I am speaking English as a second language. (Especially since I don't...

Patti's fondue party was super fun. I got to meet a lot of cool people that I might not have met otherwise. The only GRRRRNNN-type moment was when Tom ruined the pie that I made. Next party, I'm gonna make Tom his own pie. And he's gonna get it in the FACE.
Then Jon's dad was freaking out like crazy and I had to go...

Hey, I got a question for ya. You seem to be pretty up on Japanese culture (n.s.s.), so I was wondering if you know anything about those little plush toys that are the brown, square-shaped little monster guys with black eyes and sharp teeth. I've been trying to find info on where to get those and I just can't get anywhere with it.
biasply:
Thanks, you rock. 
So sometimes it takes trying to help out someone else to see how stupid you are personally acting, and that's kinda what happened to me.
Last night Patti had to call the cops on her loser ex-boyfriend because he wasn't accepting the breakup, and he wanted her to return a list of stupid shit to him. The police weren't all that understanding about it. But...

Thanks for the birthday greetings.
Did you have classes in Kansai-Ben, or did you pick it up over there? I always lamented the lack of any instruction on regional dialects in our program at UMass.
I too, enjoy Osaka a great deal, though I have not spent as much time there as I would like. On my last trip to Tokyo I was supposed to take a couple days and go to Osaka to meet up with a friend and catch a baseball game, but it didn't end up happening. It's a long story, but it boiled down to not having a rail pass.

I'm glad a girl has never called the cops on me, not that I've ever deserved it....but I'm still glad.
I am so insane and in love and heartbroken all at the same time, and I know that there is nothing much I can do about it.
But I keep having dreams about him, and I Googled his name and his email address, but didn't find anything. He's halfway across the earth...why the fuck do I keep having to dream about him? It's like a...

cool, thanks for telling me, i think i need to get onto limewire in a sec and listen.
So today Jon and I went to eat, and then we came back and I played videogames. And then I took a nap. We were supposed to go over to Patti's to watch the VMA's, but I slept through that. And I woke up at 8:30pm ready for lunch, and thinking I was still in Japan.
So we went to the diner and I had...

You see, that's where things should be a little different. You could be dissappointed if I had absolutely nothing to do all day. no job, no distractions, no priorities. But I seem to have these pesky little responsibilities that keep sucking up alllll of my time. Damn having a job, and watching kids, and getting moved around at work again. So yes, you are correct, I did get nothing done. I have been really short on time lately, I have MAYBE one day to myself, and like other people, I use it for myself. 
thurmis:
and what you said was any better? way to make me feel like you had a lot of faith in me. if circumstances would have been different i would have been done. but just the fact that you didn't even expect me to kinda sucks.
I'm BACK, bitches.
Japan was Japan. I had some serious issues with my host family that were never resolved. My bedroom in their house is still filled with a lot of my crap. I wonder if they will send it to me or throw it out. They favored my host sister (she's from Hong Kong) waaaaay over me and were always giving her special treatment,...

that long list sound like a dating profile.
DOn't worry about crushes, i get them all the time, you'll find the next person, and all you attention will focus - funny how that works.

I leave for Chicago tomorrow. It's been a crazy month.
Now I have to go pack.

It's their new single out the 7th of September. All there is available so far is a live concert rip of it, which I have. And, I must say.. IT'S A GREAT SONG. It's definately.. crazy. The beginning totally has t.a.T.u's "Not Gonna Get Us" ..like, totally. It's really weird.. I wonder if they had the rights to that song, or something.. and its jus' sucha good song. AND THEY RAP (including lotsa "yo" "yo" "yo's") and.. its jus' amazing. And the short version of the PV is out, and I haven't seen it yet.. maybe you have, since you are in JAPAN. you can watch japanese tv. And they are dressed up in kongyaru style!! Kinda like Gongaru, I guess. IT IS SO AWESOME. Yeah, I tried to post some images.. but they got cut off cause they were too big.. since, they were from a mag. Anywayy.. COME BACK. When are you coming back..?! If you can answer this, please do. haha. <3333333333333333
