like a drug

I hung out with Jannice today!! It was tons of fun.  We went to Harajuku and did some shopping then made our way over to Ikebukuro for some dessert.  

Harajuku was a bit disappointing.  I'd heard that Sunday was the day to go to see all the cosplaying weirdos, but all we got were some greasers.  Don't get me wrong, they were entertaining as hell, but I really wanted to see a dude in a maid costume or something.  

Ikebukuro was awesome. They have some great cheap stores. I got some awesome glasses and an aluminum water bottle for ¥600! The dessert bar we went to was called Milky Way. I had an amazing chocolate ice cream-banana-whip cream-pastry puff cookie-date nut-split-thing. It was good.  Too good.  

I'm gonna get fat here for sure.

I got my cell phone (ケータイ) on Friday! It's sooooo cooooool! It's got touch screen capabilities, live TV, email, internet, texting, infrared info transfer, and a 5 megapixel camera! Annnnd, I can unlock it and use it in the US on a US plan... at least that's what I've been led to believe. 

Now that I have a ケータイI can go places and it doesn't matter if I get lost! I can just CALL my friend and get directions.  It was a good thing I had it today or I would never have found Jannice.

I told her hanging out with old friends is like taking a drug.  It's awesome while you're with them, riding the high, but the come down sucks. Now I'm a bit homesick and feeling a bit lonely.  

So I'm posting and organizing and cleaning to keep myself busy till the withdrawals are gone.... and then I'll see them on Friday.  I'm addicted to my friends.  It's a problem.

I've been making some new friends too.  Jennifer and Kevin along with Jeremy.  They're all going to Doshisha.  Jennifer and Jeremy are in the same housing as me and Kevin is... not.  But they're lots of fun and I'm excited to have such awesome people for this year. 

That's all I got for now. Love until later.
