It's Anne!

Hello my lovely friends, I am doing very well. I hope you are too, I am having a great time with the students here and I am absolutely not afraid of them. And guess what now I have a pimp ::shit:: I mean a boyfriend, he takes care of me very well. I have made many friends here as well, they're mostly from Brazil and the Philippines, but they're really nice people...they're very hard working. So Allison is blogging for me....and I'm a prostitute unable to communicate to the only person who feels suspicious... of my lack of contact.

The Darkside

Im here at the new Apple store in Ginza....they have like Djs here and everything its a little strange.... Im actually thinking about going to the dark side and getting a Mac and buying an ipod its like totally the new age. ....ok this conversation is like totally boring..... um..... I spent a lot of money at Tokyo today.....

La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha

Alright I haven't typed in English in a long time so....here I go. The Japapnese male teachers will not talk to me or even try to come near me with a ten feet pole!! What the hell is wrong with them? Examples: this one Physics teacher....or some odd reason he wanted to know my full name and the Kanji. so he asks the VP when he's like two feet away from me...and I hear my name so was like "what" then he comes talk to me. its like talking directly to me must be like a faux paux.... any way I don't get it. I'm closer in age to my students then the teachers so I almost want to just hang out with them....but I know that would be wrong... I still don't like the popular prissy girls no matter what age I am. its like they're so....I don't know how the hell do they get that way? I don't get it. Oh yea I saw the first raoch in the house......omg. while I was in the shower it was creepign up on me. I screamed; it was humongous. really people. I sprayed the whole bathroom.....it was steamy from the spray plus the steam from the water. it was huge...like a baby rat. ewww ok I'm getting chills just typing about it. I've made the decision to get internet in the house. oh yea I should fax the application. so on Monday I have to go to the ghetto school.....yea...it's a dangerous paradise...

I blogged: Times 10

ok since there's a block on the schools computer I couldn't blog forever!! I've been e-mailing myself my own blogs so that when I can get on, BAM! Anyway I went to English camp (top English students from Gunma Prefecture high schools gather). It was fun, but be warned that when I return to the country I ...will...speak....like....this... apparently when you teach English for awhile you speak slow slow slow. I'm going to Tokyo this weekend.....watch out.....ok a little sleepy.

Another Blog

for some reason I can't read Mitzis blog its the only blog thats blocked at the school. I do almost nothing at school.....well thats not true Im nerdy so I keep myself occupied by reading the JET hand book. Im going on camp with some of the Gunma English high school speakers. Lets see how well taht goes. I really have nothign to say.....Im just bored out of my mind. Oh yea and Congrats to Ellie on her new car....although I dont think she reads my blog, but thats ok... Im saying it anyway!!! grrrr....dude. Im bored. omg. eeeeeeeww. these are my feelings people. how come the typign test doesnt work anymore. ok... I should study japanese or something huh???....hey allie are you taking the national test thingy??? Its in december thats a little too soon for me. Everybody has somethign to do but me....the male English teachers wont even speak to me.....I wanna go do something...I wanna meet sexy japanese male friends from Gunma University so I have someone to flirt with. Well actually I flirt with the Maebashi Board of Education head, the History teacher here, and soon I will try to flirt with my aunts friends son who is about 30. mmmmmm yea old men why do I love them so much??? they're so unattractive when they're young.

To be Asian, or not to be Asian?

at Tokyo orientation my roommate was Elisa, incredibly annoying theatre girl, cannot stop talking about herself or her accomplishments, never ever once does she ask about you. But I kept my cool which I am very proud of I managed to still talk to her. THEN on the bus from Tokyo to Gunma she's chatting with others I pretend like I'm sleeping. Guys in the back says yea its kool to be gaijin in Japan there are perks, then annoying girl says (in a rather loud voice), "Yea, I'm so glad I don't look Asian!"----------------- that's, when I decided I don't need to think about her or talk to her. But I kinda got to put her in her place when we had the big reception with all the Gunma prefectural big wigs, we were all gathering and it was me with Mizumura (important man) introducing me to the big wig japanese men as the person who can speak the best Japanese (for some reason she insists that she can speak better....) I talked it up with them. Happy ending. ps...I thought I was being a bitch for hating her, but afterwords the word on the JET grapevine is that they ALL hate her. Vindicated. Yet sad.

This is a Pen.

So I'm suppose to correct something for the website and here's something the students wrote.... I quote "We are happily acting twice a week with tenn people. All memebers are working on teh practice hard so as not to waste the time of the valuable amount, though wtice a week are little We holds out aiming at winning a prize int eh rally thought we all are beginners." Go JAPAN!!!

XXXX University of America

Ok so continuing: what happened at the Nomikai...it was generally pretty fun. One thing though they asked me what university I went to and of course I had to say SOKA university and they were like oh....there's one in America too??? I was like yea......and then one teacher said....oh then Daisaku Ikeda must be kamisama I was like noooooo not really.....end of story....I told him in theory that the school and the religion were separate. Was that enough? I don't know no body brought it up after that......

Steam!

Man some people are annnnoooooyyyying...there's this one woman here that cannot address me even though without a doubt she knows that I speak Japanese. she would ask questions about me when I'm right there!!! a little annoying and the admin. basically human resources on the first floor this one particular lady there talks to me like I'm two....I know I look young but I ain't no toddler, talk to me like I'm conscious. sorry blowing off steam. We're going to a "nomikai" with the second year teachers....a little frightened....the motto "what happens at the enkai, stays at the enkai." I'm bored but I'm planning Septembers lessons...eeerrrr...Oh yea and everyone apparently saw and talked about my application therefore, they know that I went to Soka University.... ha.....now I always have to wonder when somebody snuffs me if it's because they don't like women or they don't like the Gakkai...........damn it. it's fuckin' scary here. I feel like a Nazi in downtown new york. Oh yea and I bought a $350 yukata...
