Take, Eat; This is my curry.

Well, since I havent posted on this thingy in a while, here goes.

I moved into my new apt. It's in Minami-Nagasaki. Quite spacious (for a 1K (1 room/kitchen)) but that might be because i lived in a closet last term. (not that it was a bad thing, but yknow.)

Regardless, its a nice place, in the middle... of... a residential area, i guess you could say. I'm about 5 min by train to Ikebukuro (if i can ever find my train station that goes there...) and about 30 min from school.

School... well School's interesting so far. I'm taking a some BS classes and some core, but nothing too interesting. Though my Japanese class is half full of (pretty much to completely) fluent people, so its really quite difficult. I mean some of the kids in the class ARE Japanese. (like born and raised!! Not like me!!) But regardless, it is a fun (if terrifying) class. HW is a bitch tho.

Other than that, classes are usual. I'm taking a japanese culture class for the hell of it too. It's a bit boring, but interesting at the same time if you know what i mean.

Recently, I've been reading a shitload of X-Men comics (i got a huge book for christmas) so I've been continuing my Marvel Comics reading trend. (this was since i got House of M) Nerdy? Perhaps, but its too damn good!

Also, Jump! Ultimate Stars. Best DS Game ever! ...for the moment. I got Ouendan, which is a lot of fun, but Stars has the edge in multiplayer fun. For instance, now that i bought myself a USB DS Wireless adapter, I can play with anyone and everyone in Japan! Sweet! Its quite tough playing some of these people, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Those of you who dont have this game. What are you waiting for?? (Well unless you dont have a DS or dont read Jump Manga.) But even if you dont read Jump Manga its still a kickass handheld fighter. In fact, I dont know 50% of the manga that are in the game.

Anyway if you get the game, which i hear you can play online even in the USA, you can get a "Friend code" so you can play with your friends. Victoria and I have used it, and it works perfectly.

Damn I sound like a commercial... but hey, good games deserve it.

Oh also, if you cant read Japanese its quite easy to navigate, so no worries about language issues.

Next month looks sweet as far as concerts go. Angra and Blind Guardian is going to be incredible. (Victoria can ignore this as I have been blabbering about it for ages) Also, we have tickets for D, Balzac, and Merry.

Those of you who are seeing E6 in the coming months, tell me how it is okay?

Sheesh enough rambling... I'm outta here. (FOOD!)

Hey just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year! Make sure to celebrate Jesus' (and my) b-day and have some fun and whatever traditions your family does!!

See y'all around!!

You guys want anything from Japan? I'm coming back the 7th so I'll "take your orders" so to speak.

Longyin, You're already covered.

...and i expect to be paid back... but that goes without saying.

Thanksgiving today was pretty fun. First one where i didnt eat any turkey. Kinda weird but awesome at the same time. 柏は楽しいんだぜ。

So I saw Iron Maiden on Saturday, and I must say it was pretty epic. My seat was a perfect view from the fourth row. Incredible view.

( Up the Irons! )

I feel sorry for those of you who DIDNT GO see maiden because no one would go with you. Thats a bad excuse! I went by myself and I'll tell you, You missed an amazing event that will never happen again.

Anyway are you guys up to anything new? I hope these live reports dont bore you too much but damn i had to do one for Maiden.

My english class is quite boring (im tired of doing all this race crap... but it fufills two core classes...)

The best girlfriend in the world helped me get tickets to see IRON MAIDEN in Tokyo International Forum on 10/28. Fourth fucking row. Unfortunetly said girlfriend cannot make it to the concert because of a prior engagement...

Anyway, I'm just fkking excited to see THE heavy metal band for the first time. (i know eric, youve already seen them) Laura Harris (Steve Harris' daughter) is opening... crappy? we'll see.

anyway anything cool happening to you people? I barely get to speak to any of you... kind of saddening.

UP THE IRONS!!

My school has a free music download service, so if anyone has any bands they can recommend me id be grateful.

My camp is having a sleep over thing on July 13th. OF ALL DAYS it had to be the day i have tickets for an Electric Six concert.

So this means i cant go.... argh

if anyone wants to go and doesnt have a ticket yet, can you buy it thru me? i'm selling them at face value.

Why is it that people come out of the woodwork on the last day of school?

People who passed me in the hallway for most of the year and never said a word to me say they will miss me and stuff. Such bullshit feelings that i cant return.

Honestly, why say "look me up" if you dont mean it? Why say "I'll see you around, right?" when you wont?

I just hate how people are so fake, thats all.

Cuz all i know is that most... if not all... the people i never talk to/hang out with outside of school, i will lose contact with. Thats just how things happen. I just wont be fake about it.

and with that HS is over. I had my interview with my school's Dean for a scholarship... it went well i think. Cant fkking wait!

have you ever gone back to your old middle school and saw the teachers you had like 10 years ago? Wow its pretty crazy.

Today my old music teacher retired so I went to the event. I managed to see my Music, Pre-k, K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, ARt, gym teachers from way back when. It was of course, a little awkward as some did a double take (woah is that you seiya?? youve grown up?) then they did another double take when i told them i was going to japan for college. (wow! are you excited??)

Anyway, anyone else went thru this?
