I'm still alive and come back here every now and then. I'm not sure when I'll get back to drawing, but I'm thinking about it, eventually. I'm very busy with my personal life and college right now.

Anyway, just saying hi, and that I'm still alive. Keep the artistic juices flowing everyone!

Hey guys. I'm still alive! Just posting a msg I sent to a friend about my 10 day trip to Japan if anyone wanted to hear about it. Was way too short but I loved it. I definitely plan on going back for a longer amount of time.

Anyway, this is going to be rather long lol.

It was really cool. First we stayed with my grandma's friends the Iwou's. Mrs. Iwou was great; she was so funny and is a real child at heart. You know, all happy and energetic. She knew a decent amount of English. Her husband knew some too but he was quiet most of the time lol. They had their own house in Saga, it's this sort of farm-ish city/town. My sister and I stayed in one of the upstairs bedrooms and they had this Estonian exchange student (knew English) staying in the room next to ours. The creepy thing was that the rooms were connected by a giant sliding wall thing so it technically was one big room. And the kid was 18, male. >_> It was rather awkward. My sister kept trying to make moves on him and he was falling for it and it was absolutely disgusting... I hate seeing my sister trying to act all 'sexy' and flirtatious... it's nasty. She's like 31, with a kid, flirting with an 18 y/o? She's so freaking desperate. -.-; Anyway, while we were there we basically just went around the downtown area on bike and we went to this one traditional Japanese town... arg I forgot the name, starts with an A. It's nickname is "the Pottery City" where we bought some china.

After we left Saga we went to Kumamoto and stayed in a hotel. I was sooo happy staying in a hotel. In Saga we were sleeping on traditional style beds, aka just a couple layers of blanket and a mat type of thing and there was no AC and that got annoying. It's spring/summer time in Southern Japan already. The cherry blossoms were blooming too, it was beautiful. Haha and like ALL the toilets I used were those uber techy Japanese toilets with all the features. I used the thing to spray your butt too, it was weird! So in Kumamoto we actually met our family, for one night, all we did with them was eat out at a Sushi restaurant. My sister and I did some shopping (not a lot) and we went to Kumamoto castle.

After Kumamoto we went to Fukuoka where we stayed with Kaz and his 16 y/o daughter Yori. Kaz owns a restaurant and does other business type things. Kaz's English was excellent and Yori's was pretty decent too. Omg she has school from like 8am-2pm then she goes to this tutoring school thing from 4-9 every day... even on weekends, god I would hate that. So Kaz is sort of 'rich' if you want to call it that. He got us VIP box tickets to a baseball game and he invited a lot of famous Japanese people too. I forgot who all but he invited the previous karate world champion and his family, some famous comedian, and a couple other people. One guy brought (I think) his two sons. They were so hot! And like the first Japanese teen-20s guys I was in range of talking too... but they didn't know any English! It was so painful. T_T The comedian guy lit a bunch of cigarettes and stuck them in his nose and he even pulled down his pants and lit his pubic hair on fire. I was like D00D WTF. >____>; Was mad funny and awkward at the same time.

So the food there is something to get used to, at least for me. I'm not a huge raw {insert anything} kind of person. We ate sushi or sashimi like every day and maaaaan, that got a little tiring lol. Courtesy of Kaz, I had some good tuna tho, that cost like $10 a piece that was about an inch long. It would cost $50 a piece in Tokyo. My sister got 'the best sake in Japan' and another kind and the managers of one of the restaurants we ate at had never seen it before, uber rare or something. I had a sip of both and they were really sweet. Better than other alcohols I've had, but I still didn't like it like it. I'm not a huge fan of the taste of alcohol. The restaurant where we got all this from was supposedly where Kaz took the prime minister of France to haha. Kaz knows a lot of people... a lot. x_x Ugh and he liked to get my sister drunk and good god. My sister was soo nasty... she kept moving closer and closer to Kaz and patting his shoulder and whatnot. Gawd I wish she would stop being such a toolbag sometimes. :/

I didn't talk to Yori much for some reason, I guess I just didn't know what to say. She's into some anime and manga (but who isn't into at least a couple over there, it's normal) and OMG she had like ALL the International/Final Mix/Special Edition Japanese exclusive games. T_T I was so jealous. I saw a Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix sign at a mall. I wanted to steal it heehee. I also saw a new ep of Bleach. Of course I couldn't tell what they were saying without me subtitles lol. Oh and Kaz got my grandparents a room at the Grand Hyatt. Omfg.... that was the sexiest hotel room I've ever seen. It was huge and had a sound system and a giant LDC tv. I don't want to know how much the room cost. Tiger Woods had stayed on the same floor, the top floor. His room was effing huuuuuge.

I really miss Japan. Everyone was so nice and happy and smiled. I liked how everyone had their work uniforms on and whatnot for every job. They're so efficient with everything too. The Japanese airline employees were so nice and quick to respond to any help my grandma needed; the fucking American airlines (United) blew.. If you ever go somewhere by plane, DO NOT GO BY UNITED. I'll never fly on one of their planes again, they fucking suck ass.

So besides the toilets, they have a lane on the road just for bikes and motorcycles. They have stickers for cars required if they driver is a new driver (1st year having license) and one for elderly drivers. I think that's a nice way to caution ppl. They also had the vending machines with all kinds of crap in them, like, everywhere, like on some random street where if it was in the states would be broken into and ruined but it was perfectly normal and safe in Japan. They had these bumps on the sidewalks almost everywhere for blind people, and I'm sure you've heard in anime, but the "walk" "don't walk" sign music/noises. Kaz showed off his kick ass cell phone too... ugh. The screen turned side-ways and had tv and crap, was so sexy looking and thin and god, I'm so jealous of their phones.

Oh! But Japanese tv sucks! I had heard about it before but I didn't think it sucked that much, until I saw it. Like every freaking show is either a talk show, or a talk show game show hybrid thing that have no real point. Occasionally there was a drama or an anime or something, but man most of it was complete shit. Worse than the shit we have. x.x Buuut their MTV and their VH1 equivalent kicked ass. Their music channels still played music during normal hours of the day, unlike here. If you pay more for cable they have US channels like the history channel and discovery.

So I got Kaz's and Yori's e-mail and I sent one to Kaz, he responded back fast, and then I sent another one but he hasn't responded back yet. I sent one to Yori (she only has a cell phone e-mail) but she hasn't answered. I hope I didn't make it too long or too hard for her to read. :/

Sadly, I didn't get to buy much of anything because we didn't shop a lot.

Anyway, that's most everything. I probably forgot tons but I think I wrote enough.
