Daily morning post

I like my new dress. I should already know that since I bought it but I'm terrible at passing up sales and this that fit. Because those don't seem to come along as much as they should. It's a nice pastel green sundress but not... more like... smock? Adjustable straps and elastic waist around the chest but you have to (or should?) wear a shit underneath. That's how it was designed anyway. And there's a cute eyelet pattern around the hem. It gives me aboslutely no shape but that also covers the lumpiness. It never cesses to amaze me how Japanese clothes are so flowy and just hang off the body; it doesn't look weird on tiny Asian women but make me look like a whale.

I haven't heard from mom in ages. I'm kind of starting to get concerned? Her MSN was left on yesterday and I sent a couple messages but then figured out it was 9am so she'd be at work. I don't know, what's so difficult/time consuming/taxing about firing off a short reply? Unless something happened and she's doing damage control. Maybe I should email dad and Sean to see what the hell is going on.

Today is going to be a short day. There's no class in the afternoon because of home visits and an assembly during 3rd and 4th. I only have 1st and 2nd and then I'm free~! But I can't go anywhere. I need to make a plan for English club this week so I'll have something to do. I need to make another appointment at Plaza Clinic. Maybe I could go on Thursday? I want to go before Yuka's wedding but I should really wait until after pay day. Well, I don't even know if I could get an appointment that soon anyway.

I always think I have a lot more to say than I actually do.

It's that time again.

Because I need to do something to keep me awake until I get my second wind. Memes! I've seen those anon memes floating around before but never did one because I have this complex that I think no one really knows me/likes me on the internets. Which was recently proven to be totally not true, but I still think that way sometimes. What the hell! Let's just do it.

ANON MEME

And the photo meme: ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life, if you're remotely interested in it.

Anything goes. I'm not shy.

I had to use my Chinese again at work today. At lunch, Tamaya-sensei (♥!) asked me if I could speak Chinese--fuck, hasn't that gotten around yet?--because he wanted me to ask the new kid some questions. Apparently, he's moving to Shin-Matsudo and the school is kind of like, "Urr why? That's kind of problematic." I don't think there are any rules about catchment areas or whatever but it would mean he'd have to take 2 trains or a train and a bus to get to school and that's just a pain. It would only be for 1 year though and he already started at Toyoshiki and has made a couple friends? Or at least has people friendly to him. Mineo has been somewhat assigned to be his buddy for the meantime because he can at least understand some Chinese. I even heard Kimura from 2nd year say "你好" to Yao in the hallway. XD His written English is pretty good too! I am looking foward to seeing him in class soon. I kind of freaked out and did a crash course by looking up key words like "when", "where", "why", "leave", "arrive", "station" at lunch. Though when I had to ask him when he was going to move I kept saying いま instead of 現在 and couldn't remember 几月几日 to ask about the date. -___-

I don't like having only 3 days at jr high. I've got about 4 classes a day, consistantly, but I don't even have enough time to get to see each class once a week. Today we only had 2 periods because the New Philharmony Orchestra Chiba came to play for us. It was awesome! I never really appreciated orchestra music before but it's so fun to watch. Watching the string intrument players get all synchronized is amazing. It's like a dance. They did some explaining about the different sections of the orchestra and played a bunch of different pieces from Indy Jones to Swan Lake. The even did a Pirates of the Caribbean medly!

I'm gonna go water some turnips and think about what to eat for dinner. I think I'll make hayashi chuuka men. :D
