If you don't believe in karma, you should! You get back everything you dish out and sometimes more. This universe has it's own way of dealing out justice.

It's Friday! What else is there to say......If anyone has a husky, please give it a big hug for me.

The original plan was to stay up over night last night and sleep through the first part of the day so working the show from midnight till dawn tonight I would be less sleep deprived. The last two weeks I basically pulled 26 hours between sleep periods and it takes its toll. 'Course that did not happen and my new addiction (blogging - the globally public diary, not to mention reading through the threads) called to me so I didn't turn over and bury my head under the pillow.

A personal sacrifice I am willing to make or I wouldn't be doing it! Feeling a little dislocated actually - travelling on Monday so my mind is already wandering, making and discarding plans instead of staying in the now where it belongs. Well, some plans are necessary - Take a taxi or long term parking? Get currency. Will I shop a lot or do I actually need to pack some clothes? Carry on or checked bag? Little monkey mind fidgeting all over the place. Breathe in...breathe out...all that matters now is I am casting my thoughts into the ether and I want another cup of tea. Breakfast too. Bacon, tomato, I'm out of eggs, perhaps shredded wheat. The day has started.

Heya, I have finally met the guy of my dreams on this site. I had this idea about what he should look like in my head for a very long time. when I logged on the first time, there he was, staring at me and the more I looked at him, the more I wanted to cry, cause nothing would come from this. We are worlds apart....... BUT I do not believe in coincidence. To me he is absolutely beautiful

I know, I know, how lame is that title? Haha. I'm just killing some time this morning till my Roommate is up and about, and I thought "why not try out that blog thing i keep seeing?" So here I am. A Little about me:

My name is Mai, and I am 18 (almost 19!) I was born in Oregon, USA- and I was raised by my mother (whom I adore.. she is my hero). Not really sure what happened to my dad, never really cared enough to ask. About six months ago I moved here to Tokyo Japan as a sort of 1-year vacation before heading off to college (I'm still trying to decide what I want to study). I currently live with my Friend Himoko K. Who is letting me mooch off her considerable knowledge of photography so when i go back to the states in another 6 months I'll have a headstart on studies if I choose to go into photography (which i might). I currently work part time as an amateur model at the photography school Himoko attends, but otherwise I'm a free spirit.

I like to spend my time wandering around Tokyo, people watching and taking photos of all the interesting things I see, soaking up as much culture as I can until I leave ^_^ You can usually find me down at the Subway Station, or in the shopping district.

I just started on CS a few days ago (day before yesterday? i think) and though for the most part all I seem to attract are really old men who think I'm eye-candy, I have met a few really fun and sweet individuals that I already adore and consider my friends... I hope to meet some more ^_^

Right now its about 5:30 am, and hte sun is coming up so its about time i strap on my shoes and go for my morning jog- but I think my roomie wants to get some indoor shots today after her first class, so I better make it quick ^_^ Maybe I'll write more later.

<3 Mai

That is nice people has different ways to express thenself but something show how we feel because we put our energy in different kind things
Today I expect a lot things happen but inside myself I kwon is gonna be just another day, work, school, and the same things
I am still looking for my half and I dindnt kwon where he is...Maybe here ou maybe he is there somewhere
Tell me what you really want for the person you will expend the rest of your life?

Just fed two of the five feral cats that are trying to convince me that they belong to me, made cheese toast and tea for breakfast and discovered that letting windows install updates has really messed up some things on my PC. Don't know what happened I pretty much NEVER install any of those updates they bombard me with but there was this one security patch being recommended... @#&*%^$@####! I'll have to see if reverting to a restore point will help (note to impulsive side: dump all the NEW stuff onto a zip BEFORE you restore, just in case). Oh well, I live and breathe and have my being so it's just some salvage work. And it is Wednesday so that means the glazed pots come out of the kiln so I'll get to see how the colours came out. Yay!

Well, Jerry Falwell is one of the day's dead and that should be one heck of a funeral. Wonder if there is a special afterlife for evangelists...

Have been checking out the threads next door in the forums, posting to a couple that tickled my fancy, nice way to wind down. Tuesday was an interesting day this week last minute sick call by the drive time dj so filled in and managed to miss the darned pips on the BBC news, then calling the Met office for the weather report! What an intense experience - phrases like one eighth low, two eighths high coming at you out of any recognizable context with the rapidity of machine gun fire...definitely had a couple of "Duh?" moments.

Came up with some catchy ads to attract new voices - probably start auditions once I get back from NY. Oh joy! New York and bookstores and beef that has never been frozen and miles and miles of sidewalks to walk along!And tango in the Chelsea Market, milongas everywhere!Art supplies oh NY I have missed you so! Not enough to move back permanently again though...I don't think so anyway. especially as I can probably visit twice a year with the job I have now so I won't have to go into total withdrawal. Okay, enough, tired, hungry and still need to do a couple of things before burying the day.

Morning thoughts will dawn.

NORTH BRANFORD, Conn. --A volunteer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving who has lobbied state lawmakers for stricter drunken driving laws has been cited for driving under the influence, police say.

Amy D'Aniello, 31, of North Branford, was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol and speeding early Sunday morning after she was pulled over for allegedly driving 75 mph in a 45 mph zone on Route 80, police said.

A call seeking comment was placed to D'Aniello Tuesday.

The incident occurred about 2:30 a.m. when a police officer was tracking traffic. Police say the officer smelled alcohol on D'Aniello's breath, and she tested at an unspecified amount above the state's 0.08 legal limit.

"I'm profoundly disappointed," said Janice Heggie Margolis, executive director of the Connecticut Chapter of MADD. "I hope she accepts the consequences and is held accountable. I'm disappointed that a volunteer who should know about designating a sober driver, should know about standard practices, chose to drink and then drive."

D'Aniello participated last month in a presentation at the state Capitol, sponsored by MADD, in which she and other volunteers sought tougher laws against drunken driving.

It sucks to be in this world today, being single. You feel like you are not needed, feel very lonesome. Everything seems to be crashing down on your head. You see nothing in the future. Sure you have money, you have the things that important, you also have you. Does that really matter? Or is this just a dream, from within your own self, you make these things what they are. Seems they are nothing if you really don't have someone to share with you.

I myself have learned that nobody but you can actually make you happy, you need yourself. And yes you are never alone, truely alone. I just can't believe that no one cares enough to talk to you. In the forums or in emails. Why is that? I believe it is caused by not looking or saying the right things. Well if I have to change who I am , I won't. This is important for many reasons. I lost myself a long time ago, and it was so hard to find me again. I still am working on things, I need to accept it and smile. Well I do that alot. I am not here to be put down, I am trying to find a best friend, one that sees things in the same light, but enough of a difference that we don't get bored.

In this world today, we think of some weird things to really make us happy. But I believe that we just don't look at the right things. I may not talk like you nor do I look like a ten. But deep inside of me, I am beautiful. I have everything that a man would want. I am loving, caring, sometime a mother. lol I have the passions , and desires it takes to be me. I am one who doesn't care about the small things and the big things are just a moe hill. So is there something that one lacks in this world? Yes the true love that everyone should feel at one time or another.

Get your heads out of you butts and look beyond the outside of a person and look at what they have on the inside.

Everyone bleeds red, remember that. Everyone has a heart that breaks, we just need alot of super glue at times. Some believe that its all about them. Get real, its about us, we , they, them.
One more thing before I go, I have seen someone that is on the forums, that I find rather nice. He seems to think no one likes him. But there is one who does.


Take care

Mary
