We're Back!

A big ol' thanks to everyone who helped make this trip fantastic! It's hard to believe that after so much travel and so many days gone (not to mention natural disasters and dying school administrators) that we are all back and sleeping in our own beds. It definitely feels a bit odd to be back in your own home. I hope that everybody is rested and recovered from the plane ride and that you are all in the process of re-adjusting to life back in the Valley....I know I had a hard time sleeping last night--especially for being so completely drained and sleep-deprived!

I also figured that I would keep the blog up and running. I know Madison (who, like some kind of derranged mad-woman, has already flown back to California) requested that everyone posts their email addresses so that you all can keep in touch...

Have a great summer everyone! Be in touch! Check the blog! And let's all try to get together for the Aug. 6th memorial at Greenlake...it'd be a great chance to show our respect, swap some pictures, grab a bite to eat, and just catch up.

Talk to everyone soon!

Yeah, Lindsey, I have your stupid XXX-Holic comix... >:| Do not want. It's artsy and all, but the yaoi undertones... Eww.

And I miss you all, I guess. A lot. Yeah... Go away now.

Happy Birthday Lindsey!!
I thought I'd better say that before the day is over.
It's really too bad we couldn't celebrate it in Japan.
But I still love you oodles!!

Brea... The 20th was Friday... Not Wednesday... @_@

P to the S: You know something about your life is sad when you're still checking this blog (four days later).

Yay us.

Don't worry, My life is just as sad. I'm clinging to any part of that trip that I can. And this is like my only connection to you guys, since I'm in California.

*sigh* Yeah, sad is the only way to describe it.

So, I don't know if anyone is still reading this, but I thought you all should hear the great news.
I left my ipod in Japan. It must have been in Osaka. And the worst part is that it was a gift from my Grandma for Christmas, and we're going to visit them in two weeks. I hope I have my head when I get back.
*sigh*
Well, I'm probably talking to myself, but if anyone's reading this, I miss you!

Madt!

Major bummer about the iPod..was it left at the hotel?
If so, there's probably a way we can get in touch with them...I could even email Hatsumi and see if she could ask them to look...let me know...

Other than that, hope all is well!

Haha.

Anyways, hey Madt. I'm still waking up at three or four in the afternoon and going to bed at two or three in the morning--if not later--so I check here every once in a while, when I'm bored.

I've been spending lots of money on the internet to fill a couple of voids... I should probably stop. It's illegal and all.

But yeah, I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry about the iPod loss... If it's any consolation, I've lose mine twice. Well, the first time it was broken and the second time it was stolen. Still, I had to pay for my new one the first time around and that was pretty much a bummer...

Here's hoping the hotel can help you out. They probably still have it. It's only been one week and all--even though it 'feels' like months.

Do you have Harry Potter to hold you over? Who needs music when you have a fanciful seventeen-year-old wizard traveling the country-side with his buddies? Eh? And Tonks and Lupin! Oh, I must stop. I'm being so terribly naughty. Saucy even. But the book is just absolutely scrumptious. Fabulicious~.

(Totally just saw "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry". I'm tap dancing and singing showtunes. You'd love me right about now... Hey! Sinatra did it.)

But yeah, just telling you that you ain't talking to yourself. And you're not alone on that other issue either. I miss all of you guys too.

*sigh*

It might have been at the hotel. If it's not too much trouble to check, that would be great. I already bought a new 30GB, but it'd be nice to not have to tell my grandmother I stole it. It's not an emergency, so if it's a hastle, don't worry about it.

Hello, my favoritest Quinn in the entire world. Yeah, I'm still staying up till three in the morning, too, but my mom refuses to let me sleep past ten. I can never manage to get to sleep any earlier, though.
Harry Potter has pretty much kept me alive the past two days. My mom is constantly knocking on the door to ask if I'm alright because I'm a pretty loud reader (you know, laughing, gasping, ranting). I should really actually be finishing right this very second now, but I'm posting this instead. That's how much I love you, Quinn. I choose you over Harry Potter.
But not for very long.

I didn't know that everyone was still posting on this tired ole piece of crap. I'm posting instead of watching a documentary on Dracula.

FEEL LOVED. But is everyone alright?

I saw Hannah from Stanwood today at Uwajimia. It was awkward to say the least...

I'm doing fine if anyone cared but I miss Japan so much even if it felt like a dream. I hope all of you are doing quite well. Even if I won't take the effort to check, I still miss you all so much.

My odd Japan Family. I miss you terribly and I cannot wait for the fall to see you again.

Papa Bear~~~! The love of my life Madeline~! Jeshika-chan~~~~! Creepy old Uncle Jordan~~! Loveable Kristen~~! Pull facts out of my ass Sam~~! The Beautiful Yukata wearing Bre~~~! The fabulous sword bearing ninja Alex~~~! The mabye 3rd love of my life Quinn~~~!

And to all you Harry Potter Assholes, that I am trying to read
the 5th book. my favorite part is Dudley as a Gangsta. The Dursleys are absolutely delicious and I now know why I loved the first chapters so much.

I want to be back in Japan so I can avoid work.

Who the hell is anonymous? Probably some child molester who didn't even go on the trip. Just trying to fit in, get close, and then lure us away.

"Quick, get in the f@#!ing van!"

I'm scared. ;_;

If your angry at who "anonymous" is, then who is "..."
Stop being so hypocritical.
Honestly.
We know your just trying to make them feel safe by warning them.
That way in their eyes, you're the good guy.
I hate people like you.
