Two months.

October 9

A really quick/random note: How to tell if Japanese high school guys have girlfriends. Look for bracelets. If they have a bracelet, for the most part they have girlfriends. Yeahhhh...

And another thing. There's a time traveler at my school. :D Don't ask. Exchange students get bored at school...

October 10

I caught a cold. Ugh. I feel sooo horrible today. I didn't have a fever in the morning, but I'm pretty sure I do now... And then I got rained on when I was biking home. And it was REALLY cold. My head was hurting REALLY bad this morning so I took some Advil. I also have a runny nose and sore throat. Great, right?

I'm so glad that tomorrow's the weekend... I have nothing to do though...

If my host sister has time, I want to go with her to rent some Kamen Rider stuff. What? I seriously don't have anything to do over the weekends.

On Monday (day off) I'm going to a live of some sort with the other exchange student. I don't know what kind of live it is... but it should be fun. :)

Today was the uniform check. Ugh. They're so weird about everything... one girl was crying and most of the girls were just extremely pissed off about everything. And so they were ranting and such. And it was kind of annoying to have to listen to too... I mean it's like... yeah, the teachers are way strict to the point that it's ridiculous and everything, but that's life. You can't choose your teachers... You can't choose who you work for. So the best thing to do is to learn how to deal with it. So yeah. Both sides were annoying today...

October 19

Quick updates. The live was fun. I didn't know anyone, but everyone was really good.

Yesterday, I went to Yume Town and karaoke with the other exchange student. Today, I went to karaoke again. For five hours. Yeah. My throat hurts SO bad.

BUT IT WAS SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

We also took purikura two days in a row...

It was so funny today at karaoke though. We were all high tension and everything at weird parts. We're both huuuuuuge AAA fans so we were singing tons of AAA songs, but we couldn't sing like ANY of the rap parts. So we were just stumbling through and laughing and such. And we sang the theme for Dekaranger twice.

It's an amazing song, ok?!

And the background video was video clips from the show. And the show is amazing too. :)

We also got way excited when we were singing Shuuchishin's Shuuchishin. Because that was a video clip one too. We're both Kamiji fans. 

And then... there was Hey! Say! JUMP. They had the PV in the background. She's a Chinen fan. I'm a Ryo-chan fan. So yeah. It was soooo funny. We keep squealing at random parts of the song.

Oh, by the way, flumpool is amazing.

The name of the band itself is just... amazing.

Speaking of amazing names, there's this one guy who's a friend of a friend. His name is Hibiki... but yeah. I thought that was the most amazing name ever.

I still have yet to meet him, since he goes to a different school, but we were talking via email and phone........ 

I also found out that I may be able to use email on my phone. I just have to ask for permission from my parents. So I've been TRYING to call them, but they aren't picking up. So I'm going to try calling again now....

Because I really want to be able to use email on my phone. That'll be sooo much easier to communicate with everyone. 

October 20

So today was the beginning of... midterms or whatever it is. So we got out of school early. At noon. So the other exchange student and I went for lunch... and another round of purikura. Yeah. You get soooooo addicted. It's like... crazy. Just a warning!

October 23

Mm... nothing much to say... the midterms are over, I have a kanji test I'm not taking again tomorrow... and such and such?

The Hexagon album came out and I have to have it.

I'm trying to find something to do this weekend but every single person I ask is basically busy this weekend. I love how I'm actually trying to go out with friends and everything, but this one time that I'm actually asking around, no one can do anything. Amazing, isn't it?

Tomorrow's going to be my last chance to find someone new to hang out with this weekend. Otherwise, I think I'll do something with the other exchange student again. Well, actually, we already have plans, we're just trying to find other people to invite...... But like I said, that's not going so well...

So it kind of sucks. But yeah. We had cheese fondue today. It was ok... I don't like cheese too much so I wasn't like waayyy excited or anything, but it was good.

October 26

Another weekend of.... karaoke. Not even joking. Yesterday, I went with one of my friends from school, and today, I went with the other exchange student, my future host sister, my future host sister's friend, and my friend from school.

It was a lot of fun :D

I really don't want to go back to school tomorrow >__<

And... karaoke is fun. Lots of fun. Of course, we took puri again today.........

And I might be going to Fukuoka next weekend, although I'm not a hundred percent sure. I want to go to this one school's cultural festival, but I don't know if it's the type that just allows just... anyone to go in, you know? It might be like family and friends only or something.

I also bought the We Love Hexagon CD today. I couldn't help it. I mean... Kamiji!!!!!

Oh! I found out my next host sister is  a Johnny's fangirl (like me) and that we have similar tastes in celebrities, and that she's going to a news concert soon. Of course, since I can't go....... she's bringing me back souvenirs :D (I'm way excited for that)

She's also invited me to go to Tenjin with her one day, since there's a Johnny's goods store there or something. So yeah. I think I'll get along with her juuuust fine :)

Homeless Chuugakusei came out yesterday... and I still haven't watched it. Oh. My. God. Haha. Anyways, I'm going to have to watch it sometime soon!!!!

I think the balloon festa starts soon. So I guess I'm going to watch that too.

Tomorrow's the day that I've been here for a full two months. It seems so much longer than that!!!

Mm... what else... IS there anything else? Uhhhhhhhh. No. No, I don't think so.

October 28

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to go to Fukuoka this weekend, so I'm working on making new plans. Well, at least Saga actually has something going on this weekend... what, with the balloon festa and all.

So I know for sure I'm going to be going to that on one of the days. The other day, I think I'll just go to karaoke again with the other exchange student. What? It's fun going to karaoke with her :D Otherwise, I guess I could go watch Homeless Chuugakusei...

In other news, it's absolutely freezing cold here in Saga. I'm seriously sitting in my room, socks on, pajamas on, long sleeve shirt, a jacket, and I had gloves on earlier... and I'm still freezing cold. >____<

Seriously...........

I have to talk to the ALT teacher when I see her next... there is NO way I'm going to club activities on Halloween. We're supposed to be watching scary movies, and I'm really bad with scary movies, so I want to just let her know that it's really going to be impossible for me to go that day.

Ooh. There's this guy who's in the third year class right next door to mine, and I think he has a really nice smile! Random, I know, but his smile actually totally reminds me of my friend back in America. So everytime I see him, even though I don't really know him and he doesn't know me or whatever, he knows I'm the exchange student so he always takes the time to say hi to me and smiles. So then I'm just like "Hey!" back and everytime I see his smile, I'm thinking, "Oh, I miss my friends......."

Yeah I'm homesick.

It's so funny. When the other exchange student and I talk about people, we tend to come up with nicknames for them, even if we know their names (for the most part). For example, Time Traveler Dude, Bimyou Guy, Pudding Person. Yeah. It's just really funny because then, no one really knows what we're talking about in the first place, because we're speaking in English, but if for some reason their English skills are absolutely amazing and they know what we're talking about, they won't know who. So it's all good :)

I'm listening to LM.C right now..... and I was listening to An Cafe earlier...

I have to stay up until like... midnight or something tonight. Because I have to call my freaking school in America. I kind of reaaaaally don't want to because I need to sleep, but I need questions answered...

Today's Celeb to Binbo Taro, by the way, was amazing. As usual :)
