I'm sure it is a very very exciting time for most of you! Kristina is at Linfield which is pretty awesome. Comedy started and I heard Steven was fantastic and dead sexy- AND I heard Nick does decent slapstick! wOOt!
Nana: I MISS YOU AND YOUR FACE. A LOT. You never write to me.... which is fine, I mean... I know your busy, but I really do miss you. And worry about you, and <3 you.
You guys realize that when I say I miss you, I mean it right? I like to write about my fun times and such, and for me writing about anything that isn't positive is not in my nature or character. I'm also picky about who I give this link too, so that I know exactly who I'm saying I miss you too. (By the way- HI KELLY!!! The I miss you applies to you too! And I can't wait until you come to Japan! My dorm isn't really all that far from Yokohama! If you guys want, I could even meet you at the airport or something like that!)
Anyway- That was my conscious clearer- I was talking to Milo recently and mentioned that I really missed people, but because my blogs are always so Japan Happy I didn't think people believed me. So I'm going to make this as clear as I can: no matter what i say about the people here, or how much I rave about everything, I LOVE YOU ALL and think about you all the time. Believe me, my mind is constantly thinking about things back home-
I really miss my family
I think about my Uncle Max a ton
I miss people who understand my Star Wars and Star Trek refrences (though rare...at least in America I could find SOMEONE who would understand)
Sorry... I just worry that my friends think I'm forgetting about them, but I'm not. However, I am in Japan. And I don't want to forget what it's like, SO I take a lot of pictures and write a lot of blogs about it.
Moving on:
So...tonight in the dorm there was a potluck of sorts, where everyone was to make food from their home country. I had a student tonight, so I decided to make cookies in the morning and then just join the potluck when I got home. So Nascha and I decide to make food together in the morning. This starts with a shopping trip, because we didn't bring flour with us to Japan. So we go shopping: and let me tell you, ingredients are hard to find in a Japanese supermarket. We did a lot of impromptu substitution, such as I used yogurt instead of butter, and various other stuff.
Now the biggest substitution? Weeeellll...here in Japan I don't exactly have an oven. So I fried chocolate chip cookies. We were in hysterics while cooking. We didn't have bowls- so we were mixing in a cooking pot. The ingredients we had were retarded (I used chai latte seasoning because I couldn't find cinnamon in any other form) I used a spoon as a spatula, and the cookies looked like pancakes. It was so much fun though. And so embarrassing. We hid in the tea room to do all the mixing because we knew we looked dumb, and then my friend panda camein and was excitedbecause we were cooking. "Teach me!" she said. And Naschaand I just start cracking up and turning bright red. "Tabun...condo mohou ga ii" I manage to squeak out. (maybe next times better) and then during the frying process, whenever anyone asked what I was doing I said that I was making American style cookies. So a whole bunch of Japanese girls think Americans are ridiculous....just a heads up.
Okay, it's once again almost 2 am so I leave you with this:
If you didn't watch the video I linked to in the post entitles WAVE, then shame on you. You should watch it =)
There's so much more fun stuff that happened, I really need to fill in some blanks at some point. (Yeah...I know, "There's stuff she hasn'twritten!?"
OH one more thing- I missed the potluck =(
