20 Is Crazy
Sep. 30th, 2005 02:02 pmOh man. So much has happened since my birthday that I don't know where to begin. Looks like I need another numerical list.
1. Nanu has gone back to Nepal - her father is very ill. We don't know if we can see her again. Understandably I am quite upset. I'm coping, but it's hard sometimes.
2. Maruko is an official Up With People town. And they're REALLY into Up With People. The first thing you see in the Town Hall are Up With People photos. They even had a GRAND welcoming ceremony for us, with speeches and a stage and all sorts of things. We were like celebrities.
3. We will be even more celebrity-like in Maruko - the news camera crew is following us all week. I've already been interviewed once, something about a community service project involving pulling up a certain weed that's taking over Japan.
4. Thanks to that damn weed, I now hate gardening.
5. Japan has some of the most random games in the world.
6. Act silly and the kids will lighten up.
7. Irina has this wicked (both evil and good) trick involving a "scorpion". Peder's face on receiving the trick must be seen to be believed.
8. Can someone please scan in the article from the October issue of Malaysia's Seventeen and email it to me? I really need it. Thank you!
9. My NaNoWriMo novel is going to be a monster of an Up With People one. Already I have plenty of juicy information.
10. I can't wait till November.
11. Carolynn Lee, another UWP legend, came to speak with us for a while. She's ok, though it was funny how she got Bob and Anke to do some (fantastic) acting. Mwaha!
12. My host family is obsessed with Disney. They even named one of their border collies (they have 2) Goofy.
13. I'm not sure I care for border collies.
14. Aaah heated toilet seats!
15. Natto is awful.
16. We're going to an onsen (hot spring public bath) after this. Should be interesting.
17. Just today the staff dressed up as waiters and started serving us lunch. It was hilarious and very surreal. I am convinced it's supposed to be a hint about something.
18. DAMNIT. I had this long entry planned and now I can't think of what to say. So please, ask me questions! The more the merrier!
