Today I will be a bride.

Wait....

Let me savor the 'WTH?!'s and 'Did I miss something?!'s I'm sure everyone is thinking or yelling at their screen right now.






Okay... savoring done. I'm an evil person huh?

Well I'm *not* getting married. See there's an Iris Festival down south of me and part of the festivities is that they have Iris Brides who walk among the 500 different types of Irises in the garden, board a boat being rowed by a grandma dressed as a ninja, and rowed up the river to her 'wedding'. 2/3 of the brides are actually volunteers who apply for the job, 1/3 are actually real brides, and me... well I was invited.


TO BE THE *FIRST* FOREIGNER *EVE* TO BE AN IRIS BRIDE.

O.O

Full white wedding kimono, tabi socks, geta sandals, wig in traditional wedding style with the hat..... With people and TV (maybe) and newspapers and cameras.....

All I can think of is, "Don't you DARE trip in those bloody shoes!"

I'll get to that in a moment though.

Susan! Poor, poor Susan! Second place and a nervous breakdown! Well I don't blame her! The media was vicious to her in some cases and the pressure on her would collapse any normal person thrust into the spotlight like that. I hope that now that the competition is over she can relax and go on with her career calmly.

On the other hand....

WHOO! YAY DIVERSITY!!! WHOO!! YEAH!!

On to the drowning!

So a bunch of us went up to Gunma to go canyoning and white water rafting on May 30 and 31! This is my third time. We had the same canyon as the last two times, except this time we went through twice! I guess we listened well to instructions! I even went down the waterfall I'm kinda scared of headfirst! And... I hit my head on the rock in front. Thank you helmets! Heh....

Then on Sunday we went white water rafting! Same river, this time a different guide. A nice gentleman from Ireland who knew his stuff. I have video of this one, but at one rapid while posing for the camera one of the girls in my boat (there were five girls in the boat) one of the girls fell out! We managed to catch her and yoink her back in and she just grinned happily about it all. Then at one point the guide asked if we'd like to flip our boat over. I grimaced but agreed with the rest and he said he'd stop the boat in the edie at the bottom of the rapid, get us into positions and flip the boat. Well..... Didn't quite happen that way. We hit the bottom of the rapid and as I'm watching the girl second from the front across from me goes flying out of the boat. I remember he expression of O.O right before I myself go flying out. Well... I'm not to sure how it happened. One girl, the one behind the girl who fell out first, said she went flying forward as well and possibly knocked me out of the boat. Just one moment I'm watching the young lady fly out, and the next I'm in the water myself. I remember spinning around, something landing on me, and then coming up under the boat. There was some panic but I distinctly remember telling myself, "I don't need to panic." Then I pushed myself free of the boat, came up, and was dragged back on by the guide. Then I helped recover the first girl who fell out while the other girls recovered the girl I might have taken out with my fall from the boat. But it was fun! ^_^ More exciting than my last trip!

^_^

And the weekend after next I will be the FIRST EVER foreigner playing an Iris Bride at the Itako Iris Festival! I'm quite honoured! I had my wig fitting last Friday. They had to thin out my hair some because it was too thick and the wig wouldn't settle right. They made a special wig for me too! It's dark brown instead of completely black. A little darker than my natural hair colour right now.

Speaking of hair... I changed my shampoo for the final time to Lux. OMGosh! It works sooooo well! My hair is soft, manageable, shiney, and the broken ends don't stand out so much! It's also working to combat that one spot on my scalp that's giving me itchiness! Do they have Lux in America?

England trip is going well. But I can't reserve anything yet until I know when I'll be leaving. The Board of Education has yet to talk to me about that. I sent them an email today requesting again a 'leaver's meeting' to be held between the BoE and my school soon. I'll be mailing two or so boxes of my winter stuff to my parents soon. It's going to be expensive. Also mom is trying to get me on temporary insurance for when I get back to America. Also she's helping me try and find a part time job.

I haven't made up my mind yet if I want to come back to Japan or not. If I did, it would most likely be in Nagoya so I could be near my boyfriend. And Nagoya's not a bad city I think. But I yearn for a culture I understand. America is crazy, but at least it's a crazy I understand! *sigh*

I have a dentist appointment this Saturday. Joy. Gotta take advantage of Japan's National Health Insurance while I still can!

*hums "I Dreamed A Dream" as she totters off to plan more of her England trip*

Japan's List of What To Do Now That the Flu Has Reached Japan:

1. Wear masks, you gain +100 to your health by wearing them, making you virtually immune to germs! Despite the fact that tests have proven that masks are useless unless you change to a new one every two hours.

2. Wash your hands often. Duh.

3. Gargle often. And this helps how....?

4. Don't go to work if you feel sick. DUH! But the 'you can do it' mentality in Japan is so prevalent in Japan that this is going to be a hard one. MANY Japanese STILL go to work even when they're sick out of guilt to the company for taking a day off. I know. I have teachers who still come to school even though they feel like they've been hit by a truck. But as long as they don't have a fever they 'you can do it (ganbarro)'. For example the kid in Nara who went to the flu hotspot in Japan (Kobe and Osaka), got it, and then went back to Nara feeling like hell, probably *knew* he had the flu, and *still* went to school, only going to a fever clinic *after* classes.

5. DON'T go to a normal hospital. If you feel sick you're supposed to call a special number and follow the operators directions and then go a special fever clinic. This is an attempt to not have the flu spread to already sick people. This is actually a good idea I think.

But the media has blown this way out of proportion. The government didn't help either with forcing the flu checks at Narita in an attempt to prevent the flu from getting in. Didn't work very well huh? It's calmed down a bit now.

"Dear Ms. Keila

Thank you very much.

I never forget what you told me for three years.

Please you hold out from now on.

I hope you have to fine from now on.

Your smile was very beautiful.

Please enjoy your life.

I wish you luck.

See you."

One of my graduated boys came back and read that note to me in English in the teachers room. It's not perfect, but he did it himself and that's what makes it the best.

I'm crying and feel all warm inside.

Sometime between 630 - 7pm New Mexico time, I became an aunt!

Welcome little Damasio Lucas at 7lbs 14oz and 20 inches long!

Congrats CC!

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

I miss Rescue 911. I miss it a lot. It was one of the best 'reality' shows out there. The current shows are, excuse me, bull doody.

One day I remembered Rescue 911 and, on a whim, searched YouTube for it. GOLD MINE!

They need to bring it back. Perhaps if they do we won't have new stories about people calling 911 because 'McDonald's don't have chicken nuggets'.

Also I seriously think they should teach first aid and CPR in schools. Not just the 'Call 911 if there's an emergency' overview you get in elementary school, but real first aid. I'd probably make it a requirement for JHS and definitely SHS. Those are skills you need to know! Maybe if more people knew what to do there would be more Good Samaritans.

If I go back to America I am so taking first aid and CPR again! Might try to become a teacher of it too.

My friend Fox has now created her own Etsy shop!

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7153115

Go visit! Go buy!

Please!

Not much to report. *sigh* Planning a trip to Great Britain and Ireland for August/September. Planning a trip to Korea for Golden Week. Going to Tokyo DisneyLand and Tokyo DisneySea in two weeks with a friend who hosted me when I went to Hiroshima. Debating what I want to do for Spring Break this year: sit on me rear end, or get up and go somewhere.

Well my boyfriend's company told him where they wanted to put him finally. He was thinking it was either going to be Tokyo or Osaka. Oh boy was he wrong!

Nagoya.

Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City.

A bloody 4 to 5 hour train ride with shinkansen at $150 one way!

Time to REALLY start looking at my finances in a big way.....

Thinking about the future is depressing.

Well I guess I should update about the rest of my trip and stuff.

Well the drive back to Texas wasn't bad. I slept for most of it. Especially when my parents put on this Christmas music that didn't have any words and was so bloody boring! Just the same tune for five minutes. Ugh. I plot to make that CD disappear and replace it with Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

We got home about 4ish on Christmas Eve Day and after unpacking the car, Tabou, Dad, and I went to try and go pick up the dogs, but the owners of the dog kennel my parents placed them in weren't there so we had to head back home. We then got a small break before heading to a family friends home for a Christmas Party. Poor Tabou had a crash course in Cajun, Louisiana, and strong Texas accents that night.

The next morning Tabou got up early to study and I remained in bed, asleep, until my parents brought the dogs home and they paid me a 'visit'. DOGGY KISSES!

The rest of the time was filled with visiting friends (Hi Mary! Hi Katie!), getting a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite, 320GB hard drive, 4GB RAM, heck yeah!), portable hard drive (320GB), Nintendo DS Lite (need more games!), staying the night at the parents lake house (pitch black outside and an open wall of windows out the back = every horror movie out there..... will buy them curtains for the back window for Christmas), trying to go to karate (if only I'd looked at the internet before hand I'd have known they moved locations and where to go!), eating good food (Tabou has a black hole for a stomach, I didn't need to worry about not finishing my dinners... he did it for me!), and shopping (deodorant, lots of deodorant). Too bad the only free time we had to go to the museum and it was closed.

New Year's was a bit dramatic. Mom made her famous potato soup, Katie and her boyfriend were coming, and there was going to be a party at a family friends place. When mom's doc down in Houston told her to go to Tyler to get an emergency MRI. Thought it wouldn't take long, but... they wound up not getting back to home until way after midnight. Meanwhile my rag-tag group of misfits and I went to the party and played games until midnight and then went home and slept.

The next day mom, dad, Tabou and I finished off the potato soup and then packed up to head for Dallas and our planes the next day. We had Benihanna's tenpanyaki for dinner. Poor Tabou's flight left at 6am so he had to be at the airport around 4am!

Well the flight back was long and uneventful. Thankfully. Met Tabou at the airport and alas, we were unfortunate to have to part ways.

But not before I got an awesome and lovely and amazing and beautiful Christmas/Anniversary present. ^_^

But now I'm back in Japan and back at school, and people are right. Two years is good. Three is a pain. I WANT TO BE DONE WITH THIS SCHOOL!!!!

Now I'm in the process of planning a trip for Golden Week, a trip in May for canyoning and white water rafting, and a HUGE England/Scotland/Ireland trip for August/September.

Busy, busy I be.

Not much to report right now.

The flight over wasn't bad. It was short too. About 10 hours. I got my things and met my dad and we started driving for New Mexico. I slept a little along the way in the back seat. We stopped in Snyder for Friday night. Saturday we got up and headed into my aunts over the mountains. Met up for my mother's parents 60th wedding anniversary party and it was a very sweet party. I had fun. Then we all gathered at my aunts home and had a mini Christmas since we were all there and it wouldn't be like that for a while again.

Sunday, mom, dad, and I headed for Cruces after breakfast at my aunts. I went shopping with my mom when I got an email from my boyfriend saying he was stuck in San Francisco and on stand-by and might not make it to El Paso that day. Cue me going into a panic. Well we couldn't get ahold of him or he of us. So dad and I drove to the airport in El Paso to meet his original flight and he wasn't on it. So we after calling everywhere only to get the run around we found a super nice guy who discovered and told us that he had managed to get onto the last flight into El Paso from the airport he was at. WHEW! So we met him, headed back to Cruces, and passed out.

Today was my little sister's wedding. I was the Maid of Honor. She looked beautiful in her dress. I got to really meet him for the first time (well on Saturday, but it was pretty brief) and he's a really nice guy. The wedding was really pretty.

And so that brings us to now, when I have to shower out glitter and hair spray as well as wash my face several times to remove all the make-up. Then tomorrow we start driving for East Texas and home!

Ponyo.

Sickeningly cute and I can't escape it!

Did I mention before that my little sister was pregnant?

Well today I discovered I need to go out and buy blue clothes. It's going to be a boy! I'm going to have a nephew!

I wonder what she'll name him....

I signed the papers yesterday telling my BoE that I will not be returning for another year in August. O.o Now I if I want to stay in Japan I *have* to find a new job. Most likely teaching as my Japanese does not qualify me for anything else really.

Oh boi.

Happy Birthday to me! ^_^

I am now 6,826 years old!

I still have plenty more pictures to upload, and when I finish they'll be up in another entry ASAP! I hope you enjoy these!

Well we are going to Kyoto. This weekend. But I'll get to that in a moment.

Sports day was... sports day. I have a lot of videos of it and I'll show them to my family when I get home for Christmas. Some of the activities would never fly in America. They would be considered 'dangerous' and 'barbaric' by 'civilized Americans'. >.<

I took it easy most of September. I plan on buying a new notebook when I get back to America for Christmas and so want to save money. Though I did do one big trip. I went to Hiroshima for four days. Came in on Friday night and left on Tuesday. I stayed with my friend Andrea in Hongo near Hiroshima city. On Saturday we met with her friend Aya and spent a day in Hiroshima, wandering around the shopping district and bowling. That day we passed by the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Peace Park. It was quite stunning in various meanings of the word. Then Andrea and I had dinner at Molly Malone's, an Irish pub. It was great. I had a Shepards Pie. Sunday we were planning on heading for Miyajima at around 10amish. But there was a storm. And apparently it was big enough to stop the train until about 12ish. So we got lunch in town and headed for Miyajima when the trains started working again. Miyajima is gorgeous. Such a pretty island, and the temple on it is amazing! I recommend everyone who comes to Japan to go! At the temple on the ocean with the famous torii gate I got a book that temples can autograph! It's so coming with me to Kyoto! On Monday Andrea had to work and so I went to Hiroshima by myself to see the Peace Park. And I accidentally.... locked Andrea out of her apartment.... Whoops... ^^;;;;; Sorry about that Andrea..... We met up in Saijo, between Hiroshima and Hongo, for sushi and I found my shoes for my little sisters wedding.

Wha-? I haven't mentioned that? Oh yeah!

Annoucement! Announcement! My little sister is getting married!

And she's pregnant!

I'll wait a little and let this all settle in. Done settling? Good, onto Hiroshima.

Then on Tuesday before I went back, we went to have Hiroshima okonomiyaki one more time. I am now okonomiyaki'd out. And I had to buy a new suitcase because my duffel bag wasn't cutting it on everything I was bringing back with me. It's purple and hard. It's pretty! Kristy... it's MINE. I made it back to Tokyo and met up with Tabou and we had dinner together before we parted ways and I went back home.

On the 4th of October I went to the Tsuchiura Fireworks Competition and saw some gorgeous displays. My third time going! I went in with Tina (a JET from Canada), N-san (my friend from Texas), and Waka-san. Waka-san is a salaryman N-san met at a meeting or something for people who want to speak Japanese and English together. We spotted him at a Starbucks in Mito on Friday before a shabushabu party and he bought us our drinks and then we chatted for an hour or so and he was invited to come to Tsuchiura. Then my plan went into motion. Once we got into Tsuchiura, Tina and I feigned fatigue and let N-san and Waka-san walk around together. Alone. ^_^ Then they went back together. Alone. Tina and I went back with our friends from Mito and the US, Dave and Sam. Tina and I missed our last trains back home. ;.; The crowds for trains were ridiculous! But Dave and Sam were super nice and let us stay with them that night.

Then on Sunday Tabou came and we hung out and saw a movie (Nim's Island) and then returned home.

Now what's left.... oh yeah! Kyoto! So I'm going this weekend to Kyoto with Megan and Tina and another friend Emily. Megan will part from us half way through to visit people in Osaka and Tine, Emily, and I will be going here: http://kyoto-maiko.com/English/index.html Of course there will be pictures! ^_^V

And that's about it. I've got elementary school visits the rest of this week. It'll be fun! Let's hope I don't catch anything from them though. It's that season.

I'll get to that in a moment, now for updates!

The Welcome Party and Scavenger Hunt for the Newbies was a success! We all got to do karaoke after the food and it was quite fun!

English Camp was fun. We went to a very nice place in Hitachi Ota with the girls, all first year high school students, and met up with four exchange students and one extra student. The three girl exchange students were from Germany, Vietnam, and Malaysia. The male exchane student was from Brazil. The extra student was a Japanese guy who had been an exchange student in Brazil with the Brazilian boys family and his host family was the Brazilian boys host family while he was in Japan. All of the exchange students and the extra student spoke perfect English! The area was in the mountains and there were trees and animals and elementary school students (they were having their own camp at the same time).

Then from Friday to Sunday, Megan and I went to Yokohama and Kamakura. Friday I went to see my lady doc and Megan wandered around a shopping area near that station. Then we went to Yokohama and saw Landmark Tower, rode the Ferris Wheel nearby, had pie, and then went to Chigasaki and had dinner with Fumkiko-sensei before heading back to her home. Then on Saturday Megan, Tabou, his little sister Chie, her housemate Hime, and I, went to Kamakura. We saw Hase-dera, the Daibutsu, Hachimangu, and then walked along the shopping street Komachi-dori after Tabou, Chie, and Hime had gone to go to club practice and work respectively. Then we went back to Fumiko-sensei's house for dinner. Sunday we went to the mall in Chigasaki and then Megan and I started our way back.

The 30th and 31st I temporarially lost my mind and decided to climb Mt. Fuji again.

NEVER. AGAIN. under those circumstances.

If I EVER do it again I'll be starting at 10am and climbing to the Fujisan Hotel a little after the 8th station, and then sleeping there until 2am and then climbing the rest of the way up to the top for the dawn. I did do much better this time than last time though. I got much farther so I'm happy with my success. It's the altitude sickness that stops me. This year it stopped six of the 18 climbers. One even threw up. It also misted rained this year and that was a bit annoying. Going down I hurt my knees and so decided to take this one guys offer of riding a horse the last hour to the fifth station/pick up area. Another girl agreed to go with me. Best $50 I spent ever.

Today school started back up again. The sports festival is this Saturday so it's mostly practice this week and very few classes. But I don't mind. There's an ALT meeting on Friday and I get a day off Monday for it. The 15th is a holiday so that's a three day weekend. I might just drop everything and go to some random place nearby and see what's to be seen. There's a possible four day weekend the weekend after if I take Monday the 22nd off as Tuesday is the holiday. In October a bunch of the girls and I may go to Kyoto. We have to talk about it Friday at the meeting. And that's about it!

Jackie Chan as an interesting way of getting across that 'violence is wrong'.

For those who would not like to click on the link ( here's )

June was relatively uneventful. I went to the Itako Iris Festival and the flowers were lovely. We did karaoke at a restaurant/bar near the station and some ladies from the festival, dressed all in yukata with their hair done joined us. It was really fun. Except that poor John has some neighbors who are quite angry at each other often....

At the end of June was the Leaver's Party. The place we had booked was a really nice cabin camping area. We were also quite loud. I was always afraid we were going to get into trouble with the management, but somehow we managed not to!

July I had Interactive Forum again. Alas... none of my students passed to the next round. I actually cried. But I reminded them that they all did good! That they have a skill the rest of their friends and classmates were too afraid to do or wouldn't do, and that was not being afraid to speak English! Some of my second years started practice for next years Interactive Forum the next day! Of course that dedication tapered off with the coming of summer, but I'll work on them when school starts up again.

I went to Yokohama to visit Tabou and Fumiko-sensei for the three day weekend I had. Fumiko-sensei sold her car. Says it was too old and the shaken (every two year car pay inspection and payment) was getting too expensive on it. Also the gas mileage wasn't very good. She's planning on getting a new smaller car with better mileage at some point in the future. But for now she's having to walk to school.

I had a bike wreck on the 30th of July. Nothing too bad. I was going down a hill and moved to pass this high school boy on a curve and hit a wet patch of leaves and went sliding. I managed to fall right (Thank You Martial Arts!) and avoided landing on my laptop and hurting myself badly. All I got was a scrape on both knees, a small one on my right forearm, and the worst scrape to my chin. It's healing now; just a red place on my chin. Didn't even bleed. Just... oozed. Heh.... I mailed my teacher after I got home and she came to check on me and report back to the VP about my condition. I just scratched up my bike and warped the basket a little, so that's all right.

August has been really busy! Since none of my students passed to round two of Interactive Forum, I got to judge round two. It was fun. I got to see one of the English teachers from another school whose daughter I teach and she's the sweetest woman! And I also got to know the woman from America who's married to a very nice Japanese gentleman and has lived in Hokota for about 30 years, Na-san. She's incredibly kind and sweet. ^_^

Then I did the Mito Komon Festival Parade. Again. Dancing for four hours in yukata. Again. OWIE. But I got to dance with Megan and my new friend Tina! Tina is from Canada and the poor thing is in the middle of no where in Northern Ibaraki! She JUST got a phone, but before that she had NOTHING. No cell, no home phone, one staticky channel on her TV, no internet and no car. Well that should all be taken care of this week and next thankfully!

I met Laura's replacement on Thursday the 7th. He's a really smart and nice guy! And handsome! He's going to have a fan club at his schools I think. His girlfriend got a very important scholarship and is going to university in Hong Kong. There are 30 new ALTs in Ibaraki this year. 30. And only 18 stayers! Wow!

I got to meet them all yesterday when I went to present at the Ibaraki Newbie Orientation. I think we have a good group of people!

Coming up on Saturday the 16th we have the Newbie Welcome Party and Mito Scavenger Hunt. Should be fun! Then next week I have an English Camp up in Hitachi. I can't wait to do that! Then Megan and I are going on a tour of the Kanto area. And then the 30 and 31 might be my revenge on Mt. Fuji! And that's all so far.

Right now this is Obon holidays and there are a grand total of four teachers at my school right now, including me. One is leaving at 12noon. I have to stay till five. *sigh* Oh well. I'll work on my TEFL studies so I can get that certification taken care of. TEFL Certification is Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certification. I'm taking an online course so I have a good chance at finding a new job in Japan after JET. *crosses fingers* I'll also study Japanese of course. Trying to do at least a half hour a day, with the exception of Sunday (unless I want to), of studying Japanese. I hope it works!

And that's all! I'll try and update more when I can! ^_^

Oh yeah.... IT'S HOT.

Today for one of my elective classes I had the students get into groups of four, with one group of five, and I gave them a paper with the first two sentences of a story on it. Then I had the group add some more to the story. Then after a while I would have them pass the paper to the next group and etc. Here are the results!
