I need a fucking holiday.

aideI feel like I've been running on empty for four days. I am tired. That word doesn't convey any real meaning anymore; I've been complaining about being tired since I was about fifteen. Haven't we all?
I didn't really get a chance to recoup after Nagoya. Yesterday was dead with only two classes (2nd and 5th period) so that was mighty relaxing. I got some tests to check so that kept me looking busy. I browsed the big ALT book Yvonne gave me but that's about it. Andrew's dinner was fun though not a surprise at all. He knew there would be more than just the three of us but it was a bit of a surprise as to who was there, I suppose. The love hotel mission was a giant failure so we went to sing an hour of karaoke instead. Andrew, me, Ben and Takashi, Ben's man this week, went back to their place to crash. Andrew and I watched an episode of Star Trek and tried not to hear the other two having sex. I wonder if straight sex sounds that... wet.
Got up around 930, out the door by 1030 and went to the IES office to get my paperwork for immigration. They told me how to fill out the forms and set me up so that was good but it took fucking half an hour. I hate going there because the boss is the slowest man on the planet and needs to explain everything despite it being written in plain English. Whatever. Managed to navigate through Tokyo to Tokyo Station and caught the Keiyo Liine to Chiba MInato and met Nikki who took me to the office and got my immigration paperwork done. It wasn't busy but she grabbed me a number on her way to meet me so I didn't even have to wait that long.
I grabbed a few new books at the bookstore at Hamamatsucho Station. I got Jpod by Douglas Coupland (SO GOOD. I'm 150 pages in already.) and A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. I borrowed that off someone back in Vancouver but it sat on my shelf and I never got past the first chapter. And then I read other stuff by him in my writing class and realized his awesomeness but still didn't get around to it. So I bought it. Those should keep me occupied for a week, while I put off reading Mishima again. It's a bit of a shit show because I spend 3000 yen on 2 books and am done them in less than a week. I really need to start going to Book Off and spending less on them if I'm going to read them that fast.
At a late lunch so I'm not hungry for dinner and besides, I have no food in my house. I could make some miso soup but that's about it. I want to read some of the fics that have been updated and watch Shukudai and watch Clerks and read Jpod and write (I have a good idea for something totally not related to The Epic even though I should start writing chapter 4). But my brain is saying, "Sleeeeeeeeeeeep..............." even though it's 630.
I'm teaching Grade 6 this Friday. What the hell am I going to do?

Yakinikuuu. Maybe... next month. I think I'm going overboard with the spending and eating out this month. [iPod + Arashi + Andrew's dinner + Amanda's dinner + Andrew's party = fucking broke ass]
