[ To those who don't understand Norwegian, I'm sorry. <.< ]

Åkai, så nå sitter jeg her, alene i den lille leiligheten vår midt i Fukuoka. En by med ca 1,5 millioner innbyggere. I fylket "Fukuoka" bor det om lag 2,5 millioner mennesker. Kamenashi Kazuya og diverse andre kjendiser sprader for øyeblikket over tv-skjermen, og slenger ifra seg godt innøvde replikker om vin, mens jeg plutselig, nå, etter litt over en måned i Japan fant jeg ut at jeg kanskje burde oppdatere her. Kanskje noen vil vite litt om hvordan jeg har det/har hatt det? Haha.

Taken by yours truly. xP

Wow, only a few hours to go, and it will really be christmas. xD
Only, this year doesn't feel very christmassy. I suppose not having school, and not having seen Trondheim be all christmassy is a part of it. The only times I've been to town during December have been to get some vaccines, after which I quickly went home. Until today I'd barely even watched "The julekalender". Haha, I bought the dvd, so since yesterday I've seen 12-13 episodes. Yesterday I spent way too much money (x_X) But it was all necessary stuff. Why is food and medicine and... well, chocolate.. so expensive? (￣Д￣；；

Also, my mind is somewhere else as of late.
My thoughts are pretty much one-tracked. January 5th and onwards will be exciting. ≧(´▽｀)≦ Now it's, what, 13 days until I leave. I wonder what it will be like. A strange place filled with strangers, and a strange language. xD And, an apartment?! I mean, WHAT?! It's kind of unbelievable. I adore him ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ  Sunao, I love you! о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆


I had such a great time with Chuu-chan and Baby on Friday! It was wonderful! Thank you!! Too bad we haven't been able to be like this for such a long time, but I hope things will get better! ('-^*)/

Sanza was nuts on Friday. xD Okay, off to watch christmasstuff!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Okay, so I have managed to be on the phone for a good amount of hours in a row before, and I don't know whether it counts since it was skype, but wtf?! xD
It was interesting, to say the least. (^_^) Yeah so I slept for a number of hours, but thanks to me being female, right now it was not comfortable. (>_<;) ... I really love Skype. Until it got an error just now and closed down. Which made me sad. (T_T)


Yeah, I left this.. kinda.. for now. I haven't translated Natchin's stuff either. Guuuuuuuuh. I'm sorry.
I started a new job, I watch dramas, poke Chuu and Nao. Basically~~ It's been too cold and/or dark for me to get out and go jogging the last week and a half, but I've done fairly good either way. ^^;
Saaa~~ I suppose I get to speak enough these days anyways, so I have no need to pour it out all over LJ? ^^;

Oh Chuu, you know the Merry/Moi dix Mois/Megamasso thing? Megamasso are adorable (*_*) And I really like their music!

Now, showcasing awesome shoes, filled with "kakkoii" and asianness:

Thinking back as to how fast the last month has passed by, I get scared thinking about January. I don't want it to pass as quickly.
Really, I'm 20 years old now? It's absurd. What happened? xD 
And suddenly I realise, back when I was 15 he said he wished he could see what I'd be like as a 20 year old. I was having a rough time with myself and what he said kind of stuck with me. There's a lot more to it, but point is, I made it. xD Haha. 

Charlie, Chuu-chan~~ Thank you so much for giving me a wonderful birthday! There was someone missing, but you and the cake really made up for it. I'm afraid I didn't show you how much I really appreciated it, but I was really happy! (^_^) And the present + card were fantastic! (She gave me Fake?'s Tour of Losing Touch dvd, with Inoran!) It's right in line with Chacha's Air and Ju-ken's singing! And I was very happy to have you smiling and laughing with me, so thank you. But above all, the cake~~ xD You deserve a prize for it!

Furthermore.. 直くんありがとうございました！ずっとあたしの傍でいてねぇ♪(*^ ・^)ノ⌒☆
He sent me such an adorable letter (Albeit long overdue, haha), adorkable pictures and a great present. ☆-( ^-ﾟ)v
Next he just needs to take better care of himself~ And not try to drown his mobile again. xD
Let us hope that we, the three of us in any case, can celebrate my 21st together!

May Elin, thank you for joining me on Saturday! It was great fun, and I was glad to hang out with you andjust have fun. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, and that you survived on your way back home~ о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

Thank you to everyone who sent me messages, be it texts, facebook, msn, or other congratulations. o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Chuu and I, waiting for her mum to pick us up after buying our Chinese food on my birthday. xD

It's been a while..
I don't really feel like updating but I thought I should before I forget things. (^^;)

Yesterday was awesome! September 12 is the official Freddy Krueger day, so we celebrated it for the third year in a row.
We were supposed to watch all the 7 Nightmare on Elm Street movies, but in the end Chuu and I were the only ones left after watching the 4th movie, so we halfway watched the 5th/half ranted our way through it together before we were worn out and decided it was time to end it.
The event begun at 6pm, although I was a few minutes late (yet the first one to get there). xD And it was 3:15 when we had seen the 5th movie, according to Chuu.
We watched a couple of Gaku-songs before I walked back home~. If not I think I'd been too scared to walk through the forest alone in the middle of the night. But I was too tired to want to walk the longer path around only for the sake of avoiding the forest.
Thank you for making yesterday awesome, everyone. ;D

On to other things~!
Oh, concerning the last entry. That day was apparently the day with the heaviest rain recorded in Trondheim in 30 years. XD No wonder we got soaked.
I've been healthy lately, too. Hardly any sweets, healthier meals, and jogging at least every second day for about 2 weeks.  It's quite nice actually. Jogging around in the forest when the weather isn't too hot and it isn't raining is quite awesome. Plus, people are lazy so I am mostly alone and don't need to worry about others being around. (^^) Even during the weekends I seem to be alone. A few people walking their dogs, and there are still paths I can choose where I can be almost certain to be alone.
Tom Cruise as a samurai.. No, just no. *watching The Last Samurai*  I agree with one of the guys who were watching him practice "But he's still ugly". xD I'm sorry.
I've also been good at saving most of my money now. xD I haven't ordered much. Like wow.
But I want the new Kaneshiro Takeshi movie~~ And Returner! (That's the one with Suzuki Anne, Chuu)
During my freetime these days I've also been watching more dramas, and tried to pick up some Korean. It's so much harder for me than Japanese. (O_o;) But "Soulmate" is a good drama, I only have one episode left. Same goes for "Sorry I love you". Sorry I love you is a little far out in one way, but it is really good. Soulmate has the music going for it. The music is coordinated perfectly and someone must have spent a good amount of time and effort on it. (^_^)
Mixi has taken over for facebook. Despite the commercials I think it has a clean and simple design, with everything that is necessary. No stupid applications or anything troublesome. It's more like Myspace, but better. xD Although I'm kinda back to Myspace now.
v (neu), one of my favourite bands, although still not having produced much, are now down to two members. Nono and Jun left the band, so they now stand without a vocalist and guitarist. Now, I favouritise, but thank gawd it wasn't Rei or Hixro who left. xD Those are the two I've followed the most, trying to read some of their blog-entries and such.
Chuu and I had another J-rock evening too, feat Vidoll and Merry~ Yey for the officebuildings! And yey for artists throwing themselves to a crowd of fans (*_*)
Guh, Nao is such a sweetheart. ♥ (^_^)

I've been taking a lot of pictures lately too, I need to look through them and see if there are any decent ones. xD
This was taken a couple of days ago when out jogging. =P

Mine-kun's lalalala's sound a lot happier than Towel-chan's do. xD

Anyways, I was thinking. The way they lalala can completely change the mood of a song and whatnot.
So, I wonder who changed today's lalalaing? xD It started out beyond Ryuichi-ish.
I didn't want to get up at all, even if the weather was good and I woke up ahead of time so there was no stress. I wanted to stay in bed and enjoy the warmth, while yelling at some stupid dorama. ^^ But no, eventually I had to get up and go to work.
When I got out of the house everything was so morning-ish. I know, it was morning, but everything just sounded, looked and felt like a morning. So I took the picture shown below. I wasn't in a rush or anything, but when I got down to the road where I see the busstop a bus with the same number as the bus I was supposed to take was just turning up, and.. IT DROVE AWAY! Gawd, I panicked. On Sundays there are two buses going from here and into town, and being at home alone I couldn't just call dad either. It probably took me 5 minutes of cursing and mumbling to realise that the bus who had cruelly left me confused and angry a few minutes previous, was the bus which just ended its route there, since there is one bus taking people from downtown and up here on Sundays, which arrives a little before the other one.
Guh, what a great beginning I had.

Finally downtown I had to rush up to work, since there are no buses going all the way there from the towncenter on Sunday mornings. Oh great, a 20-minute walk in a hurry to get to work asap. I'd told the receptionist that I'd probably be a couple of minutes late, but she shouldn't worry because I'd get there eventually. xP
Soooo~ Tired, sweaty and horrible I stumbled into the kitchen and straight into breakfastservice. Luckily there weren't as many guests for breakfast today as there was yesterday. Plus whoever was on nightduty had done their job properly which helped a great deal. <3
Marianne is a dream to work with. ^^ Easy going, quick and cooperative. This was the first weekend we worked together, but also probably the last.  (Oh this is a new one, Yasu's singing "kurururu~" xD ) So thank you! You helped a hopeless weekend seem less hopeless.
Then of course something else had to be wrong. Feeling horrible already wasn't enough. Someone had forgotten to tell the other maid that she wanted her to help out today, thus suddenly I was the only one to clean rooms. Again, a huge thank you to Marianne for helping out so much with the other areas, like the reception and guests kitchen.
But really, walking around working and cleaning like that alone, SO BORING. Not to mention exhausting. And since Marianne already had so much on her hands, there's nobody to take breaks with.
I am so glad tomorrow is my last day there. The last talk with Marianne before I left was fun though. I tried to teach her a little about how Japanese works, with the hiragana, katakana and kanji. (^^;) Mostly what came out of it is that I'm a bad teacher, I think.

Finally off work I practically ran out of there.
I called dad to check if he was going to drive back home anytime soon, which he wasn't. However he told me that mum's having issues again. And that my brother had been all worried and calling him, again. I don't really know anything about it.
I don't think I want to know either. I know, I am probably a horrible daughter for being like this, but I do not want to deal with it. It scares me, confuses me and at times brings me into her scared little world. So I run.

At home. At long last. Egocentrical as I am today, if you told me about something and I kinda just blew you off, I'm sorry. Today's not the day to try to console in me or ask for advice. However it's not that I don't care, most of the time. I just have more than enough to deal with on my own. 
I found a hotel now. I emailed the receptionist asking her to make a reservation for me. I hope she replies tomorrow.
Thus my day suddenly looked up. I messaged with Nao too. Ah~ What a sweetheart. ≧(´▽｀)≦ He made me happy again.

I finally got it! My Olive Sunday single!!!
Tracks:
1. 恋の葉 (Koi no ha - Leaf of love, titletrack)
2. 終わり無き躍動感 (Owarinaki yakudoukan - Endless(ly) throbbing feeling)
3. Angel

I got it a couple of days ago, (Saturday) so this update is a little late. But oh well.
I've had so much to do, think about and figure out. Not to mention work and the stupid cold I caught.
I also got my Toybox CD the other day!! =D I love Kotae!
Thank you so much for your efforts to get it onto amazon, Toybox. And especially Yo who kept me up to date. (^_^)
Also thank you to Jokke-paws for Saturday night. It was good to see people before people once again are leaving for various reasons I suppose.

Moving on. I need to find a new job as I'm quitting the current one. I've got 4 days left there, Friday - Monday. After that I'm on my own to find somewhere else. I should have started looking already but guh.. No fuel left. xD Help meee~
As of right now either applying for a job nearby at one of the stores, downtown at one of the newer hotels, the post-officething downtown or.. eh. Troublesome. But I'm tired of cleaning and my body is exhausted. (T_T;) Choices choices.

AH NOOOOOOOOOO! I JUST REALISED! I FORGOT KAZUMA'S RADIO! (TT_TT) Nuuuuh.

*ahem* So I've stopped surfing Nettby for things that make me angry. Kinda. I've become a total mixi-whore instead. xD I spend way too much time on there, just randomly doing nothing. And I've gone back to watching doramas again!! I've missed you, dearest.

For whoever it may concern, or whoever would like to know, I'm leaving for Japan on Monday January 5th 2009. My dad was kind enough to help me order tickets.  (Oh gawd Chuu, I just realised it's one of your Graphic class days! I was hoping you could come with me to the airport. Aw. D: )
Which means I'll arrive at Narita before noon January 6th. I'll be going home the 5th of February, arriving at Værnes the 6th I think.
I hope you all will look after CarMa for me while I'm gone. xD
In fear of forgetting someone or something, or not having enough money, I am not promising to buy anyone anything other than Chuu. (<_<)
Because she's my darling. <3
Hotelroom(s), money for food and the 3-week railroadpass will come to at least 20 000 NOK already. O_o;;;
Still 4 months left. But I didn't dare waiting any longer when it came to deciding, in fear of Hiro and Nao leaving Japan before I get there. But they've both said that they will probably still be in the country. (^_^) And Asami as well!! I talked to her just now! She'll also leave Japan next year but fortunately not till at least the end of February.

Olive Sunday~
