I realize I haven’t written in awhile, honestly I am sorry.
I just have some thoughts, and the title spilled out of my hands as I was very quietly laughing at and analyzing the possible taste of the classically composed version of my favorite Dead Kennedys’ song that I’m listening to right now. I mean what does it say about me that I can listen to this? I like it though, it chills me out, and makes me laugh at the same time. It’s actually kind of good. Now I’m listening to White Riot. It’s great. I guess it’s two genres I need to pay more attention to, punk and classical, in one. I always liked multitasking.
Anyway, Autumn was just here, and I miss his presence already. It’s always nice to have someone from home visit you when you’re abroad. It makes the distance seem shorter. There will always be a tinge of homesickness inside my heart, even on the days when I’m in absolute love with Japan. I actually found my self wanting to caress an orange cone that was blacking traffic in the lane next to me, earlier today, because it reminded me of ones I’d seen back home. It felt to me like a piece of home in this often strange land. I thought to myself: I truely know homesickness now. What else did I want to say…
While he was here on holiday, we took Autumn to see many of Gunma’s famous sites, and wouldn’t ya know, he fell in love with it too. Japan can be quite a wonderful place, afterall.
Oh yeah, and I forgot I wanted to say something regarding the fact that the whole year I just spent in Japan. Honestly, it all seems like one big ‘yesterday’. Some memories I made a year ago are just as clear as those I made two months ago.
Hmmf. Maybe I’m not aging either. That’d be great. Then I really would be in a strange land–the land of the faries.
Nice to see some new words here!
Kien, Noriko, Emily and I, no matter when we hang out our conversation inevitably leads us to Japan and all the things we want to do. But most importantly, I can’t wait to see you and Reed.
But we’ll definitely see each other sooner!
I wonder if I can find a box large enough to fit an orange cone…
What is your pet?
She is of the kind that constantly need to be reminded that Trix are for kids.
Sure took me a long time to slow down and think to check your site–and I was rewarded. I love to resd your thoughts. It was wonderful to see you early this month.
