can i pretend...
...that the absence of my voice today is due to a cold and not to the fact that my mates and i screamed our heart out to bon jovi, elton john, billy joel and aerosmith last night at karaoke?
it started out as a tame girls' night (i swear) - but then somehow we went from a nice dinner at spicy market to some roudy conversation at robin's irish pub to whaling our hearts out at the nearest karaoke palace. but good times were had by all.
today on the drive to school i had a hard time believing it's march. it's snowing heavily again, and after only an hour of being parked in the parking lot i'm sure my car has now several inches of fresh powder on top of it. it would be great for skiing but tonight at our language class it's our monthly dinner - (pizza this time) - which i'm not willing to miss!
this morning i had a dream about going to papua new guinea. it was not a very nice dream and i woke up with a bad feeling about it. i don't remember much - with dreams i tend to hang onto the feeling it gives me more than the actual details themselves. it did however, involve some kind of a wet, cold, concrete building and some very strange men. my alarm was what pulled me out of it finally and i find that when that happens whatever feeling i had during the dream lingers for most of the day.
i have a feeling that today and tomorrow will drag by...

J-chan...I missed you girls and girls night in the vicinity of Robin...you said to me "Let's meet @ Mexican Restaurant", right?!...
Anyway I enjoyed drinking too.
See my latest post, hope to meet you sooner!!! J-Chan :0
Immigrantsでのみすぎて、はいた…
> <
O ｛OOOOOOOooooOOps)
いえにかえってから、きおくをうしなったよ
ひさしぶりに、のみすぎた。
いまは、げんきだけど。
Ｊちゃん、Please give me your cellphone number...unless I can't find you in the city, I realized...
(Do you know mine? I emailed you before, I think...check it out!!)
SHINA:
so sorry about the screw-up last night!
the 'mexican' restaurant was in fact spanish and it was much too pricey and not suitable for vegetarians. we told the woman there to tell you (if you showed up) to send you to robin's (did you get that far?)
but then we ended up not going to robin's and going to spicy market FIRST...
and i didn't have your ktai number on me.
so sorry!!!
but next time definitely.
I want to pierce my ears. That’s ears not nipples J chan. Im going through a “try this your young and coool and who cares cos your parents are 9500 miles away but they will still frown” phase.My grandfather had his done back in the day~ it was very much the “in thing ” in pre independent India. I wont always have an ear ring (i.e. in school~ can you imagine the uproar?) but it would be nice to have a choice when a night out required it. It would be a tribute to my grandfather~ none of his sons had it done. All I need is a South African whose claims to be have been pierced from head to toe, a Canadian infatuated with piercing to prep me and thereafter use it as a play thing and finally a strong dose of anesthetic.
My dreams are great but scary. I was once a drug dealer and got short twice in the back of the head, once in the right shoulder in a restaurant kitchen by Hip Hop reject LL Cool J. I cant wait to meet him and like "something like a phenomenon" kick his sorry ass. Let it snow. Let it Snow. Let it snow.
this is some funny shit Hit. Go forth and pierce.
Shina- we re all sorry we missed you last night, maybe next week!
xxxx
hit,
i say go for it. i will be there with ice cube and sewing needle...oh, you mean you're going to GET it done?
however, i must strongly recommend you get both ears pierced. one is just rather silly now, isn't it? BOTH is the look you're looking for, plus it's sexy. it does, however have to be on the right person and i wonder hit if you fit into this category?
it is true
i have a weakness
for (almost anything) pierced
but it does have to be on the right person.
are you HITting a mid-life crisis at 24 ol' boy? mr. mistry - i can somewhat relate, and have fantasized about doing things i know my mother would not approve of. but yes, i am in japan.
(how long can i keep using that excuse???)
as for piercings...any clue as to the whereabouts of a body piercer in niigatz? my eyebrow is screaming at me to get it done- but after the wedding. a tatoo would be nice too...if only i could make up my mind as to what.
yeah but Hiten be careful, you dont wanna end up lookig like that nob head Beckham, do you?
I agree, piercings can look great on some people, terrible on others.
My ex had his eyebrow pierced, i ahve to admit, it was TRES sexy....
pierced nipples can be nice.
same with lower lips...
mmmmmmm
Mistry young mistry... Although it has been said that the dream of every young Hindu boy, stumbling about amoungst Brahman cattle on the plains of Punjab, is to fulfill his ascetic duty and puncture new holes in his body in the hopes of adorning himself with as many ornaments as possible, I fear that in terms of your more current aspiration of `connecting with your students`, the aforementioned ear-ring may prove counter-productive... Buy a Dre t-shirt and wear it during P.E class... Less chance of getting disinherited, less chance of tetnus and far more impact... Is anyone else getting sad about saying goodbye to your final years... My san-nenseis are such legends, I`m going to be so bummed when they leave... One girl just came to me and cried cause she thought I was angry with her and she was leaving tomorrow... Japanese people really are so good-natured its unbelievable
Arrr yes, i currently have a group of girls who stand at my desk for about 20 mins at a time, asking me inane questions about anything and everything, they all leave next week, theyre obviously in love with me.
Just a few observations today (anyone get the same?):
Why is it that every time a kid comes in the staffroom and asks a question, about 5 teachers jump up like someone is about to die and run off screaming to do something?
Why do the maths books in my school have pictures of rockets that look like giant green dildos on them?
why do i have this kid who comes up to me every damn day and simply makes this noise "ehhhhh" in a high pitched tone and says nothing else? (no, he s not in the special class) I find him pretty funny, i actually just go "ehhhhh" back to him. evryone looks at us like we re weird.
ok, that back to cleaning...
I don’t think ill get that piercing. Its not because im a wimp. The word “tetanus” did it for me- have you contracted tetanus Norman?. I have some small star stickers that I give my kids and in the toilets I stuck it to my ear and nearly vomited. My first confrontation with a “gay” Hiten was frightening. Dyed hair will suffice for now ~ at least that isn’t permanent. I was never serious about it but the hair idea is growing on me. My smile is beaming as hard as the sun is today. I have secured a ticket to the Hong Kong Rugby ‘7s. I am so happy that I wanna go over and embrace my Kyoto Sensei (who doesn’t speak to me because I wear a cap) and tell him how i LOVE it when he runs to the phone as it rings even when he is only a meter away from it. One day I will beat him to it. Power to the Kyoto`s out there.
Hmm...I thought all the foreigners are mostly not too much careful 'bout piercing ears so far.
Actually I got both my ears pierced by myself, using needles + some ice...referring to my ex-English teacher's advice - "We Americans do NOT go to clinic to have our ears pierced by doctors, Shina. If you want, get some ear-gun for it or do it by sewing needles: it's cheaper and rather popular in my country."
Jennifer, the teacher was from Indianapolis USA. My College's convasation classes' one now married and back to her country.
And yes, I recommend you to punch holes your 2 ears both - piarces are lighter and easier to dress 'em on than ear-rings I think.
anonymous ROCK: no problem 'bout the chopsticks. and that card-foldy thing is taiwonese, not japanese. it's from taipei. the chopsticks are thai.
must be strange having never met 2 crucial members of the anbeek family - though no worries - none of my boyfriends ever met my father either.
i'm looking forward to meeting you so i can play the big sister part and tell you you'd better not mess with little MJ and blah blah blah...just kidding. but i am tough.
norman - are you ryan?
