Still Warm

Hopefully that describes your feelings towards my blog and/or me.
Let me explain, my computer just got it's internet back. I lent my wireless connector to a friend for the year I I just got it back. I'm sorry for the delay.
The title also describes my pizza, which I strapped to my bike with duct tape and brought home. It"s a specialty pizza of mine.

Anyways, I am safe as my previous entry hopefully conveyed. I'm fine and I haven't had any awkwardness about coming back. Everything came back with ease. The thing that annoys me the most about school will be having to mark my graduating year as 2010*.

I've got almost everything back in order. Here's a picture of my... actually, no, I'm not going to tell you what's in this picture, I'll going to have you tell me what's here. Post a comment and tell me what you see in this picture (here's a link for high resolution) and I'l tell you what you got right or wrong in a later post.

I still need to give out some more gifts, and my host Rotary club appearently never gave me their banner (I asked about this a short while ago and was told that I was supposed to exchange banners in the first meeting, something I was not informed on. Regardless, I gave them my sponsoring clubs banner a few weeks before I left and never recieved theirs. This is the same club that forgot to tell me about the program's orientation which they were running). Thankfully I have another banner, so while I can't give my Rotary club the right one, I still have something.

I also have many gundams and firgures now placed around my room including one porpery defended (covered) nearly pornographic one (bought as a joke because Japanese anime shops are full of these). I still have gifts to distribute, though thankfully no one has inquired to a gift. I'll also be trying to get back in touch with some of my friends from the exchange including Callan, Brie, Nick (niku, I wrote his name in kanji but I don't have japanese on this computer yet) and a few Japanese friends, including some (as in multiple) otaku with Skype. This may seem pointless or [negative comment] because of how unsuccessful every type of relationship I noticed turned out in Japan, but they were good friends in trying times and it's nice to have international contacts, especially if you expect to travel as I do.

I have other stuff to write about, but that's for another entry (which I'll write after updating my computer). Sorry, I'm tired with stuff happening early tomorrow, but I'll post again soon.

*This causes trouble on sites that track you by your graduating class*, Facebook, where networks are setup by graduating year** and to any calculating observer it"ll seem like I failed a year***.

*(most so, something to be thankful for)

**(which is fine because I don't like Facebook to begin with)

***(and actually, because of how the Japanese year is setup, I've been part of two grade twelve classes, so this is really my third time)

  1. You're back - good. I should've guessed it was delays in setup.
    I'm going to double-post because the comments function is messing with me. Let's see if this works -

  3. And a Tachikoma inside the computer - nearly missed him.

  4. You have the same monitor as me. That's about all I have time to count. Good choice.
