Blah blah blah, I'm terrible at keeping up with this Blah

so its newly August. I AM currently editing a new video for the vlogging attempt, so its not like those intervening months went completely undocumented. But still. Why do I suck at this? I like to write, I'm even somewhat good at it I like to think.

Taking a personal day because I had some mild insomnia last night. I did manage to sleep all morning, but I've never been good at this sleeping in the afternoon thing. So hopefully tonight will be better. So it has come to pass that I have been in Japan for a whole year now, without having gone home. Its kinda weird, but certainly interesting food for thought as the new ALT in my little town arrives. She seems like a cool chick, heres the hoping we'll get on great! This summer has been a bit of an excercise in trying to get myself out there more, since its become rather clear that my living situation isn't about to change. Time enough for that next year, and more on that at a later date. Safe to say I've made some tentative descisions that seem to be best for my own personal wellbeing, and well, we'll just have to see where things go from here.

Corey was here recently, and we had some fun little adventures running around Japan, we both took a bit of a punch in the bankbook, but it was all good fun. We saw Erin in Kamisu and Lexi in Hiroshima. And I'll see Lexi again soon, as we are attending a Kissmy concert in her prefecture next week. It was fun hanging in Kamisu with Erin since she will be going home shortly, and I wish she weren't. I've seen her quite a bit in the past six months, considering how far apart we live. I'll be sad when we can't hang out anymore, no matter how inconvenient the travel is from Kantou to Chugoku. And it was great to see Corey, and have the chance to go crazy in Japan again. I was thinking we wouldn't get that chance so, I'm really really glad. The only thing I really wish we could have done, but lacked time was to go to Osaka so I could show her around my favorite place in the whole wide world. But we had a good time in Tokyo and Shimane and Hiroshima, and lots of walking and sweating was done by all. Anyway, I'm gonna try and put together my video in a way thats not boring now! Maybe more later
