Eyyyy (address at the bottom of page)

Hey guys, i guess i feel like i owe a post you dont gonna read it, got no clue how long itll be but yeah- ill summarize at the end for the lazy-no-read-syndrome derp friends.

Aight where to start. Hmm.

So about two weeks ago i moved houses, into a new host family and it went smoothly, i think. My new host family isnt as lively as my last one, but i try my best converse at appropriate times! It was super awkward at first, because here they pretty much baby feed their guests, and its so hard saying thankyou over and over and over without sounding completely useless, you know that feel? So from the start i always put my place in, and ask where can i wash up and stuff like that- sometimes you gotta force it but these guys know the deal- and its my way of showing appreciation cause i get given a bento lunch everyday by my mum when she doesnt have to support my lunch by contract and i thought that was pretty cool.
When i first met my host brother, i was introduced at the entrance to his room by his older sister, and he was playing psp on his bed and just ignored me, i was like ohhh boy this is gonna take a bit of time to become friends haha. And we are slowly becoming good friends, hes just heaps shy, but when spoken to is actually quite not shy. I dunno. Im pretty sure he has a slight ortism, like, when spoken to he replies in the loudish voice and ortism like speech- and when playing the psp on his own he screams out funny stuff like "uuhh noooo go away hehehe!"..I know i sound heaps mean right now but i have retarded friends and i know how to distinguish. (not a joke)
(...but just incase you were thinking it...yes you are retarded HERP)

My host sister is actually my age and went back to uni in Kyoto, she was only in our house for a couple days on holidays. She was heaps nice, explained everything about the house, routines and stuff to me even though she isnt going to be here. ANd she made an awesome cheesecake before she left, but i only have managed to have one slice, cause its really awkward opening someone elses fridge unless its your own, your cousins, or your mates you know that feel? Also im using it as an excuse not to over eat haha.

My host mother and i get along pretty well- we speak heaps about anything and whenever i dont know what she said we look it up, and she learns the english and i learn the japanese XD. My host dad is nice too, except he walked in whilst i was undressed for the shower and well im just glad it wasnt my mum cause shit woulda gotten more awkward haha. But he also drinks everynight, and if your host dads a drinker i rekon that makes them automatically cool list haha, and he shares me his crackers and stuff whilst he drinks. Also he makes awesome bacon and eggs every morning, and until yesterday i had to refuse the bread that he also offers everymorning, was hard to say no to food but i gotta cut down >.<

After all that, i went to school and have been going on the computer everynight so far at school, because kendo finishes way before my bus comes- and it gives me lotsa time to do internet sheit! And also kanji practice.....never.ending.kanji.

I think my relationship with the japanese students might have gotten better, the new term gives me a new chance to make more friends...but tbh i think about you guys way to often. OH and at lunch time they play the school radio, and they play songs sometimes...and the song that i used in the bloopers for the fight video between hui, smaz and maxim came on and i was heaappss happy after that haha.

Aight my bus comes soon, so i will wrap this up early (can write forever). But i will give my address and a small summary, and i WILL write soon to everyone thats waiting im so sorry its been so long.

Address:
137 Shimoiino, Toyama City
Toyama Prefecture
9318443 (<-- not sure if you even need that)

And summary :
-read the message lazy shit.

aight im being kicked out now haha perfect timing, ill write some letters, gonna take some time might have to make them short to meet the demands of the people ya know

laterz

peace

gonna change the world

X)

Hey do you get this thing

like when you meet people and talk about highschool you can't help but feel like your highschool friends are cooler than their highschool friends

because I do.

a lot

sorry for being a dumb

the cutest thing

if you're on tumblr you've probably seen this but its so cute

So I just randomly bought a 3ds for €180, cause it was cheap

And then I found out you can download old gameboy and gbc games

And so now I'm reloading the original mario land for gameboy, after like 12 years
And its so fucking amazing and I'm crying

Also why the fuck is electronics so expensive on Australia, this is the newer model of the 3ds and so in Australia I'm pretty sure it costs like $350 or something ridiculous... Most new video games cost like €40 max it's incredible

Feeling the need to broadcast

GUYS!!

I got a job! like finally!!
Took me 6 weeks.
But guys, I need to get superannuation and it's stressful.
I also need like to move out and do all this other stuff.
Life is complicated now.
I keep thinking, oh I'll do that on Monday or Tuesday and then I realise, I will be at work. Massive wtf moment.
Anyway, I gotta clean up my room so I can find my internet banking password. I'm also thinking of opening another bank account purely for savings. Like for when I move out, it's money for an emergency.
I do already have 2 bank accounts though so hmm, it may seem slightly dodgy if I get income and such into more than one account. I might keep my Westpac one as my general usage, have the commonwealth one for child support and the new one, probably NAB for savings for a rainy day. My new computer, Ipod, phone, furniture fund. So birthday money from family and such goes in there.
Hmm stuff. Ok.
You probably didn't have to read this at all.

Singing

Well, it's been a while. I think it's about time I posted here again. I'll talk today about today about singing since I figure that's as good a topic as any to talk about.

I like to sing. I really enjoy it, and whenever I am I feel like I'm massaging a part of my brain that too often needs a massage. Now, I don't know if I'm any good or not, and honestly I don't care too much if I am, but the more I practice the better I'll become I figure. I'll sing in the shower or in my room or around the halls, so people hear me often and they say it livens up the place. I tell them that not enough people sing, and they laugh and agree with me. After I've been singing for a while my voice gets smoothed up and feels a lot desirable to use.

Now why do I sing? I think it's to keep my mind occupied. Singing, especially singing new songs which I'm learning the lyrics too, pushes out the other thoughts in my head and instead lets me just be in the moment. There's nothing but pure release of energy and sound. It can be a good way to get over whatever anxiety or fear you might currently have about whatever scenario. I'll just tell myself "just think of singing" and my mind will stop going haywire and then just go to thinking about any song that comes into mind.

Some days if I'm feeling really good I'll start my day by singing whatever new song I've going through my system at the time. I'll just load it up on Youtube and sing with the pitch of the artist. It really makes getting ready just that bit more better.

If I plan on doing anything with my singing I don't know. Maybe it'll be nice to eventually perform or get my voice heard, but truthfully I like just singing by myself for my own enjoyment. I probably sing better when I'm alone anyway since I don't have to worry about getting everything right or making it pitch-perfect. I suppose it means if ever I have to busk to survive I'll have a basic idea of what to do. I suppose it's like Ru and her dancing in a way, I do it because I enjoy it and nothing more.

Do any of you like singing
It doesn't even matter if you think you totally suck, if you just enjoy the act that's all you need
There are really few things that let your soul out into the world than the act of singing

I HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT WHENEVER SOMETHING HAPPENS I WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS WHAT HAPPEN

like today we had orientation and a group of kids stayed behind and chilled in this room with the faculty student leaders and one of the student leaders some like white guy started playing k pop music videos and i was like adlkjkasljdkaljdkasldjkljdakl... and that's how people in the faculty discovered i have the worst taste of music.

and then this girl came up to me and asked if i like kpop and jrock and i was like yea... and she was like yup you look like that sort of person too...

and then last night i was at my friend's room and he was like hey you can play musics from my itunes so then i went to his itunes and played asher roth's la di da and he was like you know roth? and then we proceeded to rap to roth and cudi and other singers that if it wasnt for lambert i wouldnt be so into them or know the rap parts. so now he thinks i like like good music.

see like stupid small things like this i just have like the compulsion to tell you guys.

A bunch of photos from Trieste cause I'm that one dick who makes you look at holiday photos

I think my iPod fucked up the order (blogger's app is shit) but here goes:
The Uni, which has a smaller grounds than syd u but is fucking enormous
A sign on a shop window that says 'save water, shower together!'
The best shop in italy, called DICK (it sells lightbulbs and torches)
This really weird but awesome
humoungous triangle church on a hill right on the border of Slovenia ((I've been in Slovenia guys!!)) plus my comment in the guestbook... Looking back I should have put something more like 'if intelligent design is so real why is this just a bunch of shitty triangles? Seems pretty dumb to me'
KAISERWASSER from Südtirol, with the subtitle 'Ein kaiserlichen Genuss!' which means 'an emperor-like flavour!' yeah, das richt Bitcheß, ei Deutsch gekanner speken ja! <> <<>>

actual europe rocks, this is everything I was hoping my exchange would be, why the fuck couldn't they have put me here instead, Sardinia is so boring and uninspired in comparison...
