My 20th Birthday

On the 28th I celebrated my 20th Birthday. It was much better than I expected it to be.
One of my friends came up to visit, my cousin ended up bailing on me. I have some really great cousins....
So besides that we dragged ourselves out of bed early to go to Cora's. My friend got the fruit plate, which I don't remember it's name specifically. I got the Strawberry Satisfaction, and it was the biggest thing I have ever seen, and needless to say I never finished it. I left a tip, sadly mostly in pennies because that is all I have for change, but it was very amusing.
We stopped by at a tattoo shop that I know is really good because everyone talks about. I will be getting my first tattoo August 2nd so stay tuned for that. :)
Unfortunately I did have to work on my birthday but it could have been a lot worse, considering I didn't work until 3. My friend also brought me strawberry shortcake. <3 I managed to get home early because the boss let me go.
We went to a really nice pub/restaurant with amazing food, and drinks. It was an absolute blast. I have never had so much fun for my birthday. Except for maybe that street dance when I turned 18.
My friend helped me finish my strawberry kitchen set, I already owned the teapot, and I now have the sugar bowl, cream jug, and salt, and pepper shakers. She also got me a cute little gold heart necklace. Another friend who came along for the restaurant got me a giant Totoro.
I have been mostly working, but my hours have been cut, but not as bad as when I worked at McDonald's. I managed to get some time off in the next two weeks to go home, and visit which I am rather excited about.

My Weekend Away

Soo Friday I got on the bus to go see Elena. Her birthday present of course came in the day I left so I didn't get to bring it with me. Damn you customs!
On Friday night we went out to the Fireside a really nice restaurant/bar. The checker was looking at my I'd for an awful long time. Her mother, and her mother's friend came along too. They have lovely martinis but the alcohol, and I weren't getting along so I only had one. They also have amazing food. Their potatoes looked amazing. So good!
Saturday we went shopping. Found some really nice fake Lois Vuiton (probably spelled that wrong), and Chanel things. Went to Winners and tried to find clothes, and a new bag. We went to Sushi Namni because Doraku was closed.
Work calls me twice, no one ever writes down when I am going away... I work tonight too.
Stopped at Japanese Paradise and picked up some Pocky, koala chocolate, milk tea, and more curry mix.

Belated, But I am Back

Oh shoot, it's been a while. I haven't had time to do much with the Japanese students. I was working, and on vacation.
I was, and still am working very hard, I am a part-time worker with full-time hours.
I went on vacation with my boyfriend, and this is why I was away for ten days, I cannot believe I didn't mention this in my last entry. I have a boyfriend now. Shocker, and he isn't Asian, shocker number two. So yes, I met most of his family, very nice people. I have also been to places I have never been before, and met plenty of new people.
So my Japanese Conversation Partner gave me Hello Kitty things for my birthday; a plushie, band-aid's, two ruler cases made by her grandmother, two sticker sheets, and a notebook. <3 We finally got to talk one night last week.
I am finally 19, but I have to wait to get my Photo ID because I have no birth certificate, it's on the way though.
Not much else is going on in my life at the moment though.
