I am apparently fascinating to hairstylists in Japan. Though granted, I only have been to one place, but I've been there three times and I think I've repeated my 'life story' (such as it pertains to me being in Japan) each time. Similarly, each time I mention that I've only been here since March, I get asked how my Japanese has gotten so good. Today I was even told by one of the employees that my intonation is perfect and she couldn't hear any trace of foreigner in my voice. TAKE THAT JAPAN - WE DON'T ALL SPEAK LIKE BADLY PROGRAMMED ROBOTS.

Also, now all I have to do is dye my hair and it will be awesome again.

Following my hair cut I saw a vest I really wanted, but sadly it was part of a set and I couldn't get it on its own. So instead I got a long black shirt with a picture of Marilyn Monroe on it. It's pretty cute.

Inoue Mao is supposed to be on Himitsu soon. This is exciting.

I have watched my way through all of series 1 of Most Haunted.

My fabric has supposedly shipped - lord knows it'll be a while until I get it though. No word about the patterns. This is distressing. D:

Lastly, dragons. Haven't done it in a while.

I'm so excited about your sewing projects! Especially since you are doing it by hand - Victorian old school!

They'll be boring projects for the moment; all I ordered was white cotton blend. But once I have them down as mock ups, the awesome fabric will roll. I'm eager to get started. *grabby hands*

We are hard core over here in Japan. XD

I think I'll start a sewing circle for old biddy gossips - we won't understand a damn thing the other is saying, but there will be cats and tea. It will be fantastic!

You're denying people the chance to stare at you blankly / vaguely amused by speaking such lovely Japanese :P I wish I still had the language ability I had in 6th grade. That was my best year ever for Japanese. After that, it was all downhill. Sigh. I should take a refresher course . But oh, the money!! ;___;

I know, I'm such a terrible person. I really do work hard to deprive people of their amusement.XD At least it'd just be the money for a refresher course and not for a ticket here? 8D;

If I had my new passport in hand, I would much rather a ticket out there *_* My wallet would not, but who cares what my wallet thinks??

I would love to have you here. ;o; What wallets think is totally irrelevant to life. XD

Isn't Most Haunted the one with the annoying British woman and the nightvision faces?

That it is sir. Yvette annoys me to death, but Jason Karl and Derek Acorah (and all the other later mediums) are amusing as all hell. It's great shlocky entertainment.
