music: Matt Pond PA- CloserJust got in from a bit of running around, waiting for Mike to get back from the travel agency so we can go buy bikes and im getting kind of antsy. I bought a polyvinyl records sampler today at that awesome record store. Its from 2004, but it was 7 dollars and its actually killer. I also bought gentlemen prefer blondes and roman holiday for 5 dollars from the book store. Im slightly hungover from last nights festivities. mike and I went to karaoke after dinner where I polished off a bottle of wine and we sang our hearts out. it was surprisingly fun as hell. But now, being in hangover mode I just wanna pig out on bad food all day. but so far all ive had is miso soup, some dried bananas, a handful of raisins, a rice roll thing, a soy bar and some rice crackers. more than I usually eat but at least its not food that’s terrible for you. Seriously, im thinking two more weeks and Ill be in my skinny jeans, as long as I keep up what im doing. im massively craving currey for dinner though. maybe I can convince mike to go to the curry house once we have bikes. which I hope is soon, because seriously, I need a bike. I bought a bottle of red for tonight. I know I try to drink only one night a week, but seriously, I know im staying in tonight, and Audrey Hepburn and bottle of wine sounds pretty much perfect. Its drizzly out again today. is it weird that I really like when its all grey out? I don’t know whats up with that. I miss my mom so much, you have absolutely no idea. I almost cried today but I stopped myself. I wonder how much longer until I get the internet. …. People here keep telling me how beautiful I am. its nice. I don’t think you can ever hear that too much. the students always tell the Japanese teachers in Japanese how pretty I am. Yesterday one of the Japanese teachers told me that one of the mothers said “what a beautiful teacher” about me. When Mike and I Went to the convenience store to grab a lighter for me last night, the store clerk, a middle aged man said to mike “Your older sister is very beautiful.” Its funny that he called me his older sister, but I thought that was sweet. I definitely need to hear that here, seeing as my ego has been pretty low from a lack of any sort of romantic contact or connection with ANYONE for over a month now. deeeeeeeepressing. I wanna buy an anna sui t-shirt soooo badly. ugh. and I need a backpack. theres a sweet polka dot one at the store across from my work. for like 20 bucks. I think im going to buy it. I need to stop spending money, but its sooo hard when I have it. haha. . yessss, mike’s on his way now. im going to get the cutest bike. all old school and a super cute colour. yesssss. man, this cd is so good. good call Alyssa. I want the plain white T’s cd, but I cant find it. yes they’re lame, but maaaaan I need to hear that song from the plane here. it was playing in a store I walked into today. anyways. mike will be here any minute. BIKE TIME!
