July

It's July! I can't believe that June is over... hell, I can't believe that I've been back for 5 months already. But I'm ready for July to be over too... I hope it goes by fast.

June, while it went by in a blur, was pretty uneventful. I went shopping a lot, spent time with my friends, ate a lot of food... that's pretty much my life in a nutshell.

This month my boyfriend is gone for all of July, so that's kinda crappy... but I'm okay. I miss him and it sucks being without him on the weekends, but it's giving me some chances to visit some other friends and spend some time just chillin by myself. This is also leading to a lot of shopping and paying for my own meals which is leading to spending more money than normal....

August is when the fun starts. My boyfriend will be back, and we'll both have some time off from school/ work. I NEED A VACATION SO BADLY. holy crap. I want to go to the ocean, and to eat yakitori and to sleep in during the week.

My life is pretty uneventful right now. So I'll just end this here.

First update

Hello~

I've been wanting to start up a public blog again... so I'm thinking about starting it here. I mainly want to write about my life for my friends and family who live far away. I recently moved back to Japan (after having lived in Tokyo for a year) and I feel like by not having a blog I've cut some important people out of my life because... I'm horrible when it comes to email.

I think that this time around, I want to blog about the funny and amusing moments in my life.

But for now... my name is Molly. You can call me Mori (モリー） if you like. I live in Saitama, Japan. I work and properly have a life. I have an amazing boyfriend who's in the Japanese Self Defense Force. I love books and writing and Japanese pop culture. I love to ride the trains, my favorite food is Tempura, and my favorite bands are Arashi and GReeeeN.

I get almost-but-not-quite run over by bikes, cars, and buses on a daily basis. A day doesn't pass me by where I don't crash into at least one school boy or business man while I'm walking home. I'm totally addicted to my keitai, and I abuse the emoji function like insanity.

I've lived here for four months, and I JUST found that there's a super market down my street... literally a 5 minute walk... the other one that I've been frequenting...? 15 minutes away. What. The. Heck.

I speak Japanese, but I do so horribly. I get into thse bouts where I want to study and then I start to study and then I remember how much I just hate... studying. I'm scared to death to use most of the Japanese that I do know unless I'm with my boyfriend, or friends who don't speak any Japanese at all.

News Zero is quickly becoming my favorite TV show. I have a tea collection. I buy ridiculously expensive books at Kinokuniya and then don't read them. I buy manga with the dream that I'll study THAT and then my boyfriend ends up reading it and I lose interest.

I make obentos every day... but it's totally just frozen obent food that I hate up and stick in a lunch box.

I'm ridiculously obsessed with the San-X character, Mamegoma.

We've had thunderstorms for the past two days. I got so giddy about it that I was spazzing out on the phone so much that my boyfriend declared me the strangest person ever. Is it wrong to think that thunderstorms are 気持ち？

I think this is good enough for now.
