A thousand words
Is that you, Jerry? Nooo. Is he your future? Possibly.

I love this photo. I found it last month when I was looking up mountains of all things. I don't know you, Dr. Tateyama, but you remind me of Jerry, and I bless you for it. You make me smile.

Here's a picture of Assata from her school Christmas pictures. I'm told that she resembles me.

So...The semester is at a close. Tomorrow's the last day before winter break. I am looking forward to sitting on my tuffet and sleeping. I wanted to play games all holiday long, but I promised my host brother that I wouldn't do anything to jeapordize his mother's sanity this month before his college entrance exams. She's going a bit ballistic with Kazuma's relaxed stance on studying. They're reading graphs and charts in his English class and answering questions from passages. Even I would lose focus with crap like that. Don't know about his other classes, but if he struggles in English, no one in the house will probably forgive him. I wonder how Asumi will fare when she gets into junior high. I told her that I'd tutor her whenever she needed it for English. I think I might be more effective on a one-on-one basis anyway when it comes to English. I think everyone needs a little individual attention sometimes when it comes to language learning.

Mmm...even though it was hardly worth my time, I made it through. I've got a lot of cashed knocked off my scary credit card, and I have yet to use it again since I finally purchased my computer. It's such a crappy deal now that I'm out of school and out of the country that I hope that I don't have to swipe it any time in the future. I'll probably pack a bag and go into my host family tomorrow after school. I should pack the bag tonight, but that would indicate that I was planning ahead, and I'm lazy enough not to want to go to the trouble. Maybe I'll at least get my pajamas ready. ::yawn::

I can't hit the sack yet until I stuff some bags with candy canes for the elementary kids, but the bed is calling me. Like Doug's song, "Bangin' on a Trash Can", which goes, "One little voice is calling me, calling me. One little voice is calling meeeee." And then it goes into the "bangin' on a trash can" chorus. And he plays his bango. And I'm really sleepy.

	Well, now you know how you'd look if you'd been born to Japanese parents. ^__^ It's like Chrono Cross, with your double in another dimension. I wonder if he's cool. I sure hope so!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	welcome to the real world where my brother has a doppelganger in Japan. How weird! Assata is starting to look a little like you, yes. ^^ I'm hoping to get my card down but I've been stuck at the same place all semester since I've been having to use it. >< pisses me off. I hope you have a good break! Play some video games though! :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

Yeah, Assata's probably my height now, she's been growing so fast. I wonder how much her vocabulary has expanded since I left. From the things that Mom and Zandria tell me, she should already be in junior high by now. lol The credit card is the bane of nearly every cardholder's existence. Make a New Year's resolution to slowly but surely whittle that sucker down. It's like a dirty, dirty virus, and we must conquer it before it spreads like wildfire. It'll be hard to do much of anything with that card while you still need it for school. And the companies know it and plan accordingly. Bastards!!!! I really do want to play some games. I'm picking up all the random papers around the apartment that have accumulated since I last cleaned in October. I've taken apart like eight boxes from stuff my mom had sent. (!) They were kind of taking up space, even though they were in the spare room that I now use to hang up laundry. Hmm...I should take some before and after pictures of this place. Anyway, I think I might play for an hour or so after I get this stuff in some semblance of order and vaccuum. I can clean-clean the hardwood floor in the kitchen whenever I get back, I guess. I'll do my best to have a happy holiday!! If all else fails, there's always karaoke as an outlet. Watch me come back to my place early just to play with Sly or Joe. Okay, see you later! Happy Friday!

I've been trying to slowly but surely whitte down the credit card bill for almost a year now. lol It's impossible only getting 12 hours a week at work though. This past semester, I've had to use the card way too much because I just don't have enough income. Lame. I've been reading posts on bigdaikon. You weren't kidding about some of those poster being major pains. Some people are helpful, others not so much. I think I might just not read anymore. I'd rather go into everything completely blind. If I try to prepare, I usually get disoriented if things don't go as the plan in my head. I deal much better with a "Just wing it and see" way of doing things. lol Tried to play some games this break myself. I bought Persona 2 and I still have Kuon to make it through but I'm stuck on Persona 2 and I don't like playing Kuon alone at night. lol My leisure time is up anyway. I need to start working again anyway. Have a happy day! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
