Oh My God. Can I possibly freak out and jump up and down? Please, people. Don't tell me don't know who An Cafe is. If you dare I shall punch you in the face. Virtually. An Cafe is one of the GREATEST oshare kei bands in the world. No. They are one of the greatest bands in the world. I'm not just going to category them to oshare kei. An Cafe came out with a new song and Miku's lyrics are so touching. I love Miku for those who don't know. The song is called "My Heart Leaps For C" and I guarantee you'll be hearing it in a future video. Speaking of videos I had two posted for awhile but I just kept forgetting to mention it. Oh, and things are MUCH better here. I guess it was only a 7 day thing... maybe. But it'll be back I'm sure unfortunately.
So since Friday technically sucked Saturday I didn't even want to bother around the house. I mean it was still awkward. I sat in my room until lunch, ate lunch, and then went back in my room for like another hour. A certain person cheered me up while I was in my room. Kevin, you're awesome. I'll definitely find something totally random for you even if I have to explore all of Japan (if I can even accomplish that). Hmm, but after that last hour I seriously had to get out of the house and what else was there to do around here without having to speak Japanese? Go for a walk. Sure, I would have LOVED to go out with my friends, Ayami and Lettuce (her real name is Shiori but she has the nickname Lettuce because last year she had green glasses) want to go do Purikura with me. But all my classmates are in freaking Hawaii right now. They left Saturday and won't be back till Wednesday. The losers. I should be there too >_< I'm glad Ayami's bringing me back a souvenir though ^_^ But I went for a walk. I didn't know where to go and at one point I did get lost. The only goal I had was to somehow reach the ocean. Eventually I did. It took me an hour to walk there and that wasn't because I got lost. I was lost for like 5 minutes. It seriously takes an hour to walk from my house to the ocean. I'm seriously shocked I figured out the way, too. I kept making turns where I had no idea where they led.
But that really made my day. It was great just to take in the ocean air not to mention that was great exercise. After another hour walk back home I came home to an empty house. Zetsubou (despair) hit pretty hard. I spent that time studying kanji while having Dir En Grey blasting in my eardrums. (If you like screamo I suggest you listen to this group. They're slowly becoming known in the USA, already performing and last week their songs were on a radio station in Los Angeles [I read their blogs]). That was a good way to spend my time ^_^ But when they came back about an hour later things started getting better. Okaa-san and Tonpi were pretty shocked I walked all the way to the ocean. Especially to which entrance too. Supposedly there's a closer way to get there but I only knew of one way and it was obviously far. Then there was yesterday. Things started off quiet but when we came home that all changed. I can't remember how or why it changed but I was in a much happier mood. Also yesterday, for lunch we went to some little festival by the denki (lights, batteries, etc.) store. In one of the buildings there was this table where these people were and they wanted to meet people from other countries. I ignored it. A lady comes up to me and starts speaking English to me. It's great how Japanese people assume that since you're a foreigner (and you don't look Asian) you must know English. I can just if I was from France or Germany and I wouldn't know one thing of English. But this table was a group of people who meet every week to study English. The lady said they never get the chance to try their English out on people but she was pretty good. I suppose I was impressed. Then there was a short pause, then, "you're really beautiful". ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Are you kidding me?! How many times must I hear this? That's it. Starting today I'm tallying how many times I get told this.
Today ended up as the best so far since the whole ignoring situation. I've been trying to talk more especially with Tonpi more so because Ai has work after school basically everyday not coming home till around 10 at night so I don't see her much and because small conversation doesn't seem to go very far with her haha. I need to work on my Japanese to accomplish further talk with her. But I had homework that was due tomorrow that I totally forgot about because of everything last week. Pat actually reminded me in school today. Today we were sent to class 3-7. I really feel bad for these students. English class has to be hell for them. How they learn a language in school is how you would learn a language in college in America, especially as a major. Just today they were reading about how a chimpanzee's brain is very close to a human's and that they taught them ASL (American Sign Language) and stuff. It's crazy. But when I spoke slowly this one girl was basically able to comprehend me.
Going back to my homework (the only homework I know I really do have and am able to do it: my Japanese lessons) I had to write in Japanese about my family. I wrote it out and I asked Tonpi to correct it for me. She seemed to enjoy that, laughing at my mistakes as well. So, plus for friendliness, woo! Then I started to study some kanji. Recently I've been on a kanji high. That's all I've been studying for hours each day. I had my Genki book out and I wasn't looking at it at the time and her and Otoo-san were flipping through it trying to pronounce words and remember the English for others. The book's very Japanese friendly haha. Kanji and everything on basically every page. I've also given up in school. Not that I WANTED to. Besides, I have a really good excuses. 1) None of the teachers are expecting ANYTHING from me. Only in English class can I participate in (there's no language barrier there). The only other class I have to pay attention in is Math and I'm only doing that because I was told I have to take two exams when they come, English and Math. In all my other classes instead of sleeping most of the time or trying to copy notes when there's no chance of me comprehending them anyway I'm studying kanji. Told you I was on a high. That's all I really wanna do anymore too, it's so weird. At the moment I can write around 90 words in kanji. hehe I feel accomplished ^_^
So, here's the videos before I forget again. The first one is of Tokyo Tower. Took me long enough to make it, right? The second is a tour of my current house ^_^ How exciting, right? I was finally alone so I snagged it in quick. So, enjoys! ^_^

I'd like to add this in quick. I find this quite amusing actually. Whenever I log onto my MySpace I always hope to see some blog comments (or anything). Who doesn't? I get a few here and there but they're really always from the same people. I began to wonder what was the point in posting when it seems like only a few people care. Not that I was gunna stop anyway. But then I look under my blog views and I'm seeing numbers like 140 views a week (do I even have that many friends??). Wait...Huh? There's all these people reading my blogs and no one cares to say anything? haha wow people, you're funny ^_^ Thanks for all the views though! I really appreciate it!! ^_^
