long time, no do

The last Saturday I did something that I haven't done in ages. I woke up, and then I read. For 5 hours, straight. It was wonderful, and what was more wonderful, the book! "Vindens skugga" is what it's called in Swedish and fully one of the best books I've ever read. I can strongly recommend this book with a vivid language and a very captivating plot. After I finished it I've been longing to start a new book, which I bought today (can't wait until I can go to bed and read!).

Yesterday before I went to sleep I found out the most wonderful thing. One of my absolute favourite bands, a band that I've been saying is the band I want to see the most right now is coming where, yes, JAPAN! And I have a ticket and I'm freakishly psyched!
When I found out yesterday I fully started to cry happy tears and giggle not unlike a maniac. Hiro who I was talking to on Skype started getting a little bit nervous since I couldn't answer him as to why I was crying like that. Also Ayu was wondering "why I was making those sounds".
I've already started to think what to wear and how it will feel when I'm on my way to Osaka. Oh my, all most makes me cry happy tears again.

Now it's only three days until I'm in the air on my way to London, wohooo! Time flies by!


Sleep tight!

the countdown

In a week now I will arrive in London soon and there at the airport my lovely, lovely Hiro is going to be waiting for me. I'm getting more and more psyched for every day that goes by. I can't wait.

In addition to the other things I have to make a decision in right now, I also have to make a big decision. A couple of months ago I had a tounge piercing done at Kansais best piercer, at the awesome Scamp here in Kyoto. I wasn't able to keep from doing all of the things I was supppsed to at the time like not drinking alcohol and generally leeding a normal healty life. It is still swollen so I started getting worried (a number of friends said I should just take it out but I'm in love with it and would not like to part with it if not neccessary). This friday a friend of mine, Robert convinced me to go and check it with the piercer (which I had tried to avoid in case he would say I have to take it out) after I told him I wasn't drinking alcohol from now on because of the piercing . Said and done I went back and didn't get the answer I was expecting. He told me to continue to not drink alcohol, sleep well, do mouthwash and not to touch it.
The twist is that next sunday is my birthday, 20th birthday. A sober 20th birthday? Really? I don't know. There is a great conflict in me, one part of me says "why not sober?!" the other one says "you only turn 20 once, you're young, come on". The former is for the moment stronger. I'll tell you later who wins.


Ciao bella!

basking in the sun

I just came in from my balcony where I've been sitting for about an hour reading a book and blowing soap bubbles. I wish to remind you that this is the 7/11 a time where in Sweden it might be snowing but the frost has most certainly arrived. In Japan on the other hand I could just now a few minutes ago sit in shorts and without a shirt. I got a tan. A TAN! IN NOVEMBER! Bliss for Japan!


Mraow!

getting the hang of it

This week has been full of studying, studying and some other stuff that needed to be done. Now Friday is here and I'm freakishly tired. It's all good though as Ayu would have said. I am finally after all this time getting the hang of living on my own and studying at the same time. Which means I'm just a tad bit late but better late than never, ey?!
It's an incredible feeling to be able to be proud of yourself and what you achive. Not something that I've been used to be able to do for a long period of time. So I'll just have to continue wont I?

Me n Ayu just made an early night of Friday to go home to watch a movie and sleep in tomorrow, get some sleep back and be fresh and ready for more studys and our friend Harrys birthday party! With that I'm off to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".


Catch you later!

pride

This last sunday I was mighty proud of myself. I managed to do A LOT. A lot I tell you. I even did all my economy stuff on time (I have, for the first time, found a way of keeping track of my economy in a way that I could handle for a longer period than a month, YAY ME! I'm doing fucking good I tell you guys!). I fixed doors, made the Loveshack more efficient. I did some homework. I made food (enough to bring for lunch for me and Ayu for the next day to!). And so on and so on. Do you think I slept well?

Yesterday me and Ayu started talking about our future plans in a more serious way. We realised that there is only 4 months left of our studies at KICL and after that we need to have a job. I NEED a job in a more accute way than Ayu since she has a Japanese passport so she can stay here for as long as she wishes without trouble. I on the other hand need the work to be able to get a working visa and stay here at all without beeing kicked out of the country. So we started looking for work yesterday and we'll see what it gives!


Whish me luck e'ryone!
