C,
I look back on here and can literally see my last 4 weeks. Seeing as I have not posted a blog in that time (at least) I do apologise to those of you who want to hear more of the practicalities in going to Japan. I have several draft copies on here of things I was going to write about (getting the Visa and so forth) which hopefully I will backdate when I am free.
So. I'm going to Japan tomorrow.
Fuck.
Maybe I should exaplin the last couple of weeks...
Two very literal tsunamis happened.
One rocked the coast of Japan.
This tsunami was a suspension for those of us waiting to go. The juggler had all his balls in the air. And we didn't know if they would keep going up or crash back down to Earth. The university kept us informed, but statements were being sent back and forth about whether we should go, whether we wanted to drop out and whether we could still pass second year without going. This suspension is still going on now. A further tsunami warning has been issued. This may fizzle out off the Richter scale of peoples lives. But it may crash down on that beaten coast line again, and we do not want to be a strain on resources. However, luckily for us, the university we are going to is quite far south. And although the damage done to the country will effect my travelling plans for after the course, I'm just thankful I can still go.
The other Tsunami:
Tez who unexpectedly came crashing into my life.
I suppose you could call it a whirlwind romance. Except it wasn't that much of a whirlwind or a romance.
I can write this sudden relationship as a series of bullet points. I shall call it:
'A Relationship on Fast Forward'
Silent disco.
Me: drunk.
Tez drunk.
I flirted with Tez over bar.
I kissed Tez over bar.
*Couple of hours later*
Bumped into each other by the bar.
(And this is where it gets hazy)
'You want to make out now?'
'Okay'
And thus a relationship was formed.
Okay it didn't quite happen like that :)
But the point is we sort of became immediately inseparable.
I don't know whether it is because we are emotionally self-destructive. Or genuinely liked each other. Or my loneliness got the better of me and I clung to the first person who gave me attention. But we got together and are staying that way for a little while (apparently :P).
So yeah.
That has been my life. Hedonistic. Happy. Loved. (ish)
I'm going to miss you guys.
always yours,
<3
