I'm not dead!

Just having a blast in Japan. :3 It's spring break! Two months to do whatever I want!

And just what am I doing? Well...





Long black piping, dusty yellow fabric...

WHAT COULD THIS POSSIBLY MEAN? :O

Plus, Happy Birthday, TJ. ;3

毎日難し、２０時間寝て
ああ、食べたい、鼠、魚と鳥
そのいす、好きでニャア
毛皮で覆われている
毎朝おなかがすきました
５時間半起きてご飯ください
そのベッド好きでニャア
毛皮て覆われている
ニャア怖い電気掃除機
ニャア何か水だあぶない
毎晩起きして君の枕か
忘れる君の枕じゃない
その家具好きでニャア
毛皮で覆われている

I write the best songs ever.

Yeah, long time, no post. I'll give this thing an update of some sort.

Oh, can someone tell me how I've survived so long without a Mac? I now have a Japanese MacBook, and I love the fuck out of it.

srsly

Why more people don't watch Keroro Gunsou/Sargent Frog, I don't know.

Yeah, this jewel came out yesterday here in Japland. I has.

Also, what the hell is this question meme thing? I don't understand it. D:

Meleah: Erica, you always look tired in the morning.
Erica: **turns around, lifts an eyebrow** ...
Meleah: ... okay yeah, maybe that does make sense.

Oh, and what the fuck is up with mayonayse. The Japanese love the crap out of it. They put it on EVERYTHING. It's all over sushi.

... it's really good, too.

Update to ericadoesjapan

OMG SO MUCH FUN WHY HAVEN'T I COME HERE EARLIER?

That is all.

Update to ericadoesjapan from yesterday. Such a big SNAFU...

But that was yesterday, and as they say in theatre, a bad dress rehersal usually means an outstanding opening night!

So here I go!

It's almost time...

AH MAH GAHD IT'S ALMOST TIME!

Also, five days.

One week left.

A-yup.

Today, packing.
Tomorrow, moving stuff back to my mom's house.
Thursday, chillaxing.
Friday, going into Durham to spend time with the boyfriend.
Back Sunday.
Tuesday, the big day. The plane is scheduled to leave PTI at 12:20 and stuff.

It's a rough schedule. Er, sans next Tuesday.

Oh, also, my phone is getting cut off today, since I'm not paying $55 to keep a phone around for a week. Yeeeeah. Broke and stuff. I'll be on AIM if people need me, so leave me messages and stuff if I'm AFK, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

So crazy... going to Japan.

A student visa! I has.

Going to Georgia to get my student visa in... oh, about four hours. I can't sleep.

I'm at my mom's house right now, and am cuddling in particular with one of the cats I grew up with named TC. Now, TC is my special kitty. We joke all the time that if he were a person, he would be riding the short bus to school. He's really just not all that bright, but damn if he isn't adorable and one of the most friendly, cuddly cats I've ever known.

Apparently, a few days ago, TC disapeared and wouldn't come out when he was called. It freaked my mom out, but she found him. He hid for a few days and wouldn't eat and was having bad diarrhea. She took him to the vet, who explained that while this case isn't anything particularly noteworthy, diarrhea is a very common symptom in old cats of kidney and/or liver failure, and we've got to keep in the back of our minds that TC is an old-man cat. We got him when I was 11 or 12, so he's roughly about 12 or 13, so he's getting up there in his years.

He's doing alright now. Mom says his face has thinned a bit, and he just seems too tired to open his second set of eyelids all the way, so he kinda looks cross-eyed. But he's still the same, special ed kitty that I've known and loved, sleeping right now in the crook of my legs and purring up a storm while he twitches in his sleep.

I'm so afraid that, when I come home from Japan, my Ticka-boy isn't going to be around anymore.

Just that thought makes me cry.

So I'm sitting at work with my passport, visa application, and a bunch of paperwork from Nagoya and I've realized something.

I'm doing it. I'm really fucking doing it. I'm going to Japan. Completeing not my first, but my SECOND life long dream. Damn, I'm on a roll, and I'm only 22.

...wow.

Is this, like, serious? First you Alliance were dying while in flight to Quel'Danas, but also when you died, your spirit was sent back to Eversong Woods?

Sorry, this Hordie can't help but giggle at this.

Happy "It's my God given right as an American to blow shit up" Day! In honor of the 4th, this is my desktop.



I CHALLENGE you to find something more AMERICAN than that.

So.

WALL-E.

If you haven't seen it, go see it now. And if you're in the Greensboro area and want someone to see it with, give me a buzz. I want to go see it again.

It's rivaling Toy Story for my favorite Pixar movie. Srsly.

I'm going to hell.
