Activated Subscription

I subscribed my dad's friend to Activated.

Yeah yeah yeah

11 is traditionally the ugliest stage, at least in our family. But James has survived being 11 very well. He is fun to be with, works hard, and teasing his high voice is always fun.

Moofy is simple and funny. Really cute. She's not evil like I am and sometimes it puts me to shame. Sometimes it makes me laugh.

Uncle Gideon is my favourite Uncle!

I don't think Lena likes to cook so much, but anyway, she made sushi, and it was rather pretty. Lena knows how to control Moofy. Thanks Len!

Vicki I miss you! Have fun in Kanazawa.

Grace is fun

I would have put photos of Aiko and Kenny and Auntie, but I didn't have any.

Freeday Shopping

This freeday was fun because rather than being an annoying Scrooge, I spent my money. Lena, Moofy and I bought birthday presents for Vicki...AND
We went to the VanGaurd and found the Kurt Cobain Poster I have always wanted. I bought it. And we each bought a Nirnava T-shirt. They were 1500 yen each, but oh well, whatever. Nevermind. Hahaha ha.

If I could only find the words to say

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be

You're in my heart
You're above my bed

You're every part
of every thought
That fills my head

You're the man that's on my mind
You're so pretty
Oh well whatever, nevermind.
I hope you liked my ditty.

Can't get enough of you...enough of you
I just wanna say that I love you, I love you

Announcement.

I decided to write a story about last summer. If anyone has any memories that they would like me to include, please send me them. Also any input.
I hope to make it a series or something.

Lucky I

I got a double bed for my room!

One Weeks blah blah blah

This week's accomplishments:
1. I did lots of extra school and kept some of the kid's records ane helped make a portfolio for James.
2. Dad and I went on a follow-up to a guy (he's 20) and he said he would like to learn the Bible from me.
3. We had a night get out with the Homes around here and after that we saw the 40 Year-Old Virgin and Spirit.
4. For Mother's Day we invited Auntie Crystal's Home came (well, everyone but Steven, like always.)
5. I cleaned my room realy well and Uncle Gideon gave me a pair of shoes as a reward.
6. We cleaned our house real well and did repairs so that Johane and Lydia san can come. it took about 2 weeks, and they will only be here about 2 days, but the house looks really good.

A Nasty Evening

"We need chicken for dinner, but it's raining." Auntie Olivia says. "Can you go and get some?"
"Okay, I can take a bike...umbrella."

I made it to the store and bought the chicken without event. it was dark by the time I got on my bicycle. Immediately after I began to peddle, a strong gust of wind destroyed my umbrella. Ooops.

Now what to do? I couldn't take the umbrella home, and I couldn't very well leave it either, or another gust of wind would send it flying and kill someone. So I locked the umbrella to a pole. There was a group of maybe 5 17-18 year-old boys smiling and watching me intently. It was highly embarassing.

I thought maybe they rain and wind would die down. Fat chance. The wind only got stronger, and riding against it was so not easy. I must've looked like Freak #1 to everyone around me, since it was pouring in rain and I was drenched wet, all alone, and grinning like an idiot. Oh well, it's always better to be happy when you can.

To One Of The Sexiest Ladies I Know

Mimi you are strange. But you make other people feel comfortable.

It's getting boring to say this, but it must be fun to hear: Mimi, you are very pretty and sexy and fun.
I remember walking down the street with Mimi. For a moment I thought, "Wow, all the guys are staring at me." But of course, they were staring at you.
I swear, Mimi, you are so pretty, someday someone may accidently drive off a bridge while staring at you.

Mims is fun. Of a truth, I have always been a little jealous of your fun-ness, among other things. You and Elena both look like Catherine Zeta Jones (though not necessarily in this photo).

Like a Playboy model, you are sexy. Like Angel, you have huge boobs, which is really cool. Like a mommy, you are concerned about people. Like Jesus, you like to help people. And like nobody else, you are Mimi.

I love you lots Mimi! Have a happy birthday, and a good year.

Love always, Mariea

Moofy the Freak

Moofy says: "I was getting a taste of my favourite snack. --Plastic man. YUM!"

Happy Birthday Angelo

Today is a special day, because it is Golden Week, which only comes once a year for 3 days. ...Well, it's also Angelo's birthday. (He turned 15... like I said, everyone is getting so old!)
His invited all his Japanese friends from school to his party. (One other guy was half German half Japanese, like Angelo, only he speaks no English.) Angelo and JP tried rather unsuccessfully to teach them Mafia. Playing Old Maid with 15 people didn't work very well either. Can someone tell me why???
Well since it's his birthday I guess I should say what I like about Aneglo. Probably won't get around to it for the rest of the year. (Angelo, I hope you're not reading this.)
1) Angelo works hard, and he's rather responsible. ...
2) He's rather funny in his moments of brilliance. People actually laugh at his jokes, and not just HIM, which is good.
3) I can't find a third thing ... Well, I tried.

To My Friend Jane

Mary Jane Johnson, my very good friend.

Happy birthday, though it's a day late. (Isn't it annoying when people say "I know it's late but I still mean this so much..." blah blah blah... I think we're friends enough to know that much!)

I like you because

1) You can always make me laugh, even when nothing is funny but you. You know, like that time there were ants in the cooler box... Quote: "We've had years of experience".

2) Life is not boring with you... and if it is, you will dream up a crazy idea of something to do. (Like when we snuck out of the tent.)

3) You are so un-typical. You don't befriend people by saying the usual "You're so cute... you have such nice eyes... I really like your..." blah blah blah. And it's always nice when there's someone around who's got the balls to say what they really think, and you are that way.

4) Over the however-long I have known you, we have formed so many private jokes, I tried to make a dictionary out of it. I can't remember why I gave up. Maybe there were too many. Since meeting you so many words have taken on a new meaning.
