Hey everyone?? So what's up with me... where to start? OK so I finally finished school!!! [does happy dance] So now I'm just enjoying the rest of the summer off, until I start work in September. I haven't had this kind of time off since before I started school, so its almost weird that I have nothing to do! Well, I do have lots of stuff to do because I put off so much stuff while I was in school. For example, I cleaned my room for the first time in a year, went to the dentist recently, cleaning/fixing up my parents' cottage, and have been doing tons of family-related things etc. I don't have any vacation plans this summer, I think I'll just be within T.O. for the next while, which is fine because there's always tons of stuff to do here!

Other news (as you might have guessed from the photo) is I gots me a girlfriend! Somehow I was lucky enough to be able to start dating her during my busy/stressful school schedule, and its been over three months so far and all's well. She's Japanese, a hair stylist, and looooves Gachapin, a japanese kids tv show character who looks like a green marshmallowy...thing and has energy balls on his hands that give him superpowers AND courage! Check out Gachapin's blog! (its in Japanese but pictures/audio tell all you need to know) He's so cool that he was even featured in the Killers video Read My Mind:



Anyways, I'm also kind of busy working on some freelance web projects, so I may have to ignore this blog a little while longer. I may surprise once in a while with a post or two, we'll see. I also blog on a Japanese social networking facebook-like site called mixi.jp which is also keeping me busy. So if you're a mixi user, let's be friends!
