Today I have been quite tired. I got up at 6:30 to be at school by 8 to make a speech to the entire staff, to find that when I got there, they'd changed it to Monday!
Right now I am sitting at the kotatsu eating curry snacks. I had better not eat any more because I want to eat my tea!
Sybil came over today after school for lunch, we went to the post office, to send 2 letters (300 yen), and then we went to 'book off', a second hand book store that (whoops, eating another curry) sells, CD's, laser disks [saw the evangelion ones!], pornographic calendars and books!
Oh, and wait for it, they sell NEON GENISIS, the ENTIRE SET, on LASER DISK!!! Wow! It's in Japanese of course, and on laser disk, but still it was a VARY GI moment!
Anotehr downside is it's 7500 yen ($150) which I guess is not too bad for the size of the box and cover.
Anyway I got 5 (a total of) letters from 5 different girls today, I will read them afterwards, and glue them in!
Maths today was sooo boring, but we also watched a homestay video which was funny, and I got to hang around with friends.
After book off we went to the stationary shop and bought some super mario cart glue, writing paper, and some airmail envelopes to payback Masa.
You wouldn't BELIEVE the pencil case I got from my host family, it has printed across the front "TOYBOYS!" and then, "we are fond of playing tricks!!!" Very strange, but it isn't what it sounds like!
Masakazu went to caligraphy (shoodo[hehe]) cram class thisafternoon, and he has a VERY scary teacher, (who ever heard of a scary calligraphy teacher!!!) But she is. When we came to the door, Masa said 'shinai!' and we had to leave, fast, as not to disturb. So that was very funny! But Masakazu is a very good student at shodai [lol] so she must be good. [I learnt the work mikan while on the way there!][I remember a really skinny raised road above some tanbo's] I don't knwo where Masakazu finds hte energy. He does Kendo, school, cram school, plays soccer at lunch time, studies, sleeps, and everything else in between!

This was my first shot a shodo: It's crap but it brings back memories of when I did it. It was funny. At one stage Syb just called out 'buttocks' and I pissed myself, and of coursde noone else understood! (And then I did the same)
--------------
Tid (oopsm told ya I'm forgetting English!) DID I tell you about how when Syb came over on her bike, we had trouble organising how she was getting home? Well the bike wouldn't fir in the car, so after a while outside we worked out that Syb was to ride, I was to walk with her, and Okaasan was to drive! Me and Syb thought this was very strange! So we started walking down the road and we got to the hill, where Okaasan started to drive slowly. Then me and Syb realised the strange thing that was happening, and we thought it was funny!So I said I would run, and I did, it was so much fuin, running down that hill, I was laughing my head off at the strangeness of the situation, and Syb was crying she was laughing so much. [To this day I don't know why we were doing this entirely] I took my camera out and took a couple of photos of Syb. It was soo funny.
Anyway today was good. It was a lazy, cold day. Masakazu went to school, for a test (this is unusual) but he still had to wear a uniform. He was home by about 1.30. I have been full pretty much since I woke up thismorning, and I still have to face tea! Anyway it should be OK. Mum, Dad, I eat seafood now, I don't mind the flavour, it's just that I'm squirmish! Then Masa's friends came over, Takeshi whom I like, and his other friend I don't really know that well because he dosen't speak English well, Masa says he dosen't like it, but he is friendly, but dosen't talk much. We played video games, Super Famicon + 64, and Takeshi layed the guitar. (He's good) Just then we went out to Docomo (do communications over the mobile network) Mobile phone shop, where they have cool phones, with colour HUGE screens, and Masa upgraded his service on his phone so he can send messages (it was free).
Then we went to the CD shop and I bought the Neon Genisis Evangelion single, which comes on a little CD, and in a strange case. Hmm, tea was Tea was delicious! It was Japanese pancakes. Now I am really full!
Before I got here they put a photo of Dad, me, Alana, Jas + Mum (from left to right) in a clock frame and put it on my desk in my room. I hope they didn't buy it new just for me because it looks pretty new! Did I say that someone in Masakazu's class said I resembled Ricky Martin!!! What A JOKE!
