Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well...once again, it's been a while since I wrote a journal entry...I'm just not good at writing in journals I guess sweatdrop Oh well! I'll just have a super dooper long entry! 4laugh rolleyes Well....it seems like all I do is complain about Japan....and I hate to continue the trend...but lately I've been having problems.... crying A few weeks back, I had to go to the health center in Waseda, because of an old injury from my childhood. When I was a kid, I had stepped on glass at the Sacramento river bank...and should've had the injury stiched up, but my father didn't deem it worthy I guess....therefore, I have a huge problem now! It had healed into a 'deep' scar and had never given me problems before...but recently it split open and you could stick your nail wayyyy down into the heel of my foot xp I decided to go to the doctor and he stitched it up (My first stitches!), but it didn't help at all.....The only other option I have open to me now, is to go to the hospital (It really hurts, and I dont want it to get infected...), but the only other option I can see them taking other than stitching it, is cutting a bunch of my skin off, and then grafting some new skin on....Being in Japan I don't know how the hospital system works, or how expensive it is..even if I have insurance. gonk But I really need to do something about this problem because I have plans to climb mount Fuji as well as play tennis, which both require a lot of foot work...I know that I wont be able to do these things until I get my foot fixed, but if I DO have my foot worked on, then I might not be able to use it for months! crying I'm in such a dilemna.....

Moving on....I am glad to have heard that my host family doesn't dislike me, but I do occasionally get absurd demands from them...This morning they told me that they dont want to hear me 'sigh', and that I need to 'sigh' in my room! How the hell am I supposed to know when I'm sighing? It's not something I think about! Oh well, another absurd request will go ignored I guess! xd My host mom also told me that it would be impossible for me to climb Mt. Fuji xp (And not because of my foot) but rather because that I'm not strong enough! I asked her if shes ever climbed it and she told me yes! So basically this little old woman thinks shes stronger than me???..........Reality check, she has another thing coming if she thinks I'm weak, do I look weak in my signature?...LOL rofl

My new friend Trisha and I get along quite well! Her mutual friend Jamie introduced us to a few places in Tokyo that sells anime periphinalia as well as doujinshi. The doujinshi stores that she showed us are awesome! Theres a HUGE selection and its SO CHEAP! Trisha told me that the stuff we're finding here for 2 dollars sells for 20 dollars in America! Since Iv'e been shown these places I've already bought TONS of doujinshi! xd And the main anime store that she showed us, had 7 floors! I bought an AWESOME bleach calender there! I'm so glad I met Trisha too....because she often lends me anime that shes downloaded! So so far I've been introduced to Kyou kara Mao, Bleach, Suki Sho, and Prince of Tennis! (Trisha is a PoT head by the way....LOL) PoT standing for Prince of Tennis of course....I'm glad that I have something to keep me entertained once in a while! I've also (much to my surprise) found a few yaoi computer games (which are quite hot...) that I bought!

This coming December I am SOOO excited! I bought a ticket with a few of my other program friends to go to see GACKT on CHRISTMAS EVE! WOOOT!!!!! heart heart heart domokun ninja He is SOOOO HOT, at least in my opinion... wink And this thursday (Thanksgiving) I actually get to have Thanksgiving food! Our program was invited to go to the military base stationed in Japan, because one of the people in our group belongs to the military....So this thursday, we go to a fancy hotel and have yummy food! This makes me feel so much better, because I already was missing the thought of having my moms cooking...while it's not the same, it's better than eating japanese food! xd I'm also going to Tokyo tower for the first time with the lady that I tutor! She always buys my lunches when I tutor her, and she wants to watch Kabuki with me whee Shes such a great lady! She's my japanese tutors mom (japanese tutor from america) and she even dies her hair a tinge of purple! Anyways, can't think anymore! So until the next entry! ninja
