Dear Dan,
I don't really know how to tell you this, the mafia wants you. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me in your apartment and I saw you hit on the Montreal Canadian’s goalie. I'm sure you're middle-class enough to understand that your driving sucks. I'm returning your car to you, but I'll keep my virginity as a memory. You should also know that I always wanted to break your legs and I have a passionate interest for mice.
Your everlasting enemy,
Anje

ottawa

distortedwinds@hotmail.com — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:09:27 GMT

so yesterday, asumi, mum, and i went on a shopping extravaganza in ottawa.

we started out at ikea, then proceeded to eat lunch at a japanese restaurant, then stopped at rona, and then went to south keys.

at south keys, we went to chapters, globo, winners, walmart, and saw revolutionary road in the cinema.

at chapters, i was browsing the terry prachett section of the fantasy aisle when this guy comes up beside me. he goes, "wow! every geek's dream - a girl in the fantasy section!"
so i'm like, "err....hahaha *nervous laugh*" and start blushing. then the guy continues going off about this book he was looking for and then informs me when he found it two minutes later and asks me if i've ever heard of it. "noo..."
feeling awkward, i left and found refuge in the bargain cooking section. when all of a sudden i hear a familiar voice behind me: "you like cooking too?!" yeah, it was that guy.
"yess..." i say. he then starts showing me pictures of steak, mentions his desire for summer and bbqs, and then gets all excited about 101 ways to cook pasta.
i run away again, since this guy clearly has something for me.
i go and find asumi, in the music section. i start talking to her, pause, look over, AND THAT GUY IS STANDING BESIDE ASUMI. WTF.
"you're following me!" he says. "noo...you're following me!" i laugh nervously. "oh, you wish i was." he states.
then i REALLY run away, find my mother, and inform her we're leaving. now. because creepy guy is stalking me just a liiiittle too much.

so that was my excitement for the day, ha...

in other news, revolutionary road was, albeit depressing, a pretty good movie. leo dicaprio's not too shabby, really...

GUUUURL, THE BACK O YO HEAD IS RIDIKULUS!

i miss being macaroni and cheese

i mean, of course i love my life now, but it's missing something.
a person. a feeling.

...

i return home to canada tomorrow.
4 months earlier than scheduled.

it seems like i've been here for years.

i am scared to shit of going home.
almost as much as i'm excited.

i went to school today.
sehee and sensei remarked on how happy i looked.
...i am SO SO happy.

distortedwinds@hotmail.com — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 06:11:23 GMT

so i`ve been thinking about leaving a semester early from japan for quite some while now.
but i just can`t make up my mind.

pros of staying:
- things might get better
- have more experiences (ie. school festival)
- my new host families might be fun
- i`ll go more places, probably
- i`ll have more time to learn the language better
- i`ll get to go home with all the other exchangers
- won`t have to pay a fee to go home
- i`ll get the whole I DID IT experience

cons of staying:
- things might not get better
- i would have to do my hs courses by correspondence or summer school
- i wouldn`t have a lot of time with the jap. girl my mom is hosting
- things will probably stay unhappy and unfulfilled with me
- i will probably run out of money
- i will most likely still hate school and piee, which majorly affects my outloook on life
- changing host families again, possibly up to 3 more times

pros of leaving:
- start school in sept. in canada to make up hs courses
- more time to earn money for uni/future travel
- happiness
- more time with jap. girl mom is hosting
- can learn japanese from jap. girl
- visit friends at uni etc. and see how life is
- i made it half way!
- can leave japan on a good note
- possible to do some alone travel to places i couldn`t go before

cons of leaving:
- japanese level might not be as good as it could be
- won`t go home with other exchanger friends...no stories or reminiscing
- flight home alone, but possibly direct??
- 300$ fee or so to leave early
- loose 1/2 of the 9,000$ my mom paid for me to go here
- i am a failure for not making 10 months

I am back from Europe. It was awesome aside from
a) It was cold
b) We didn't go inside many of the neat buildings we saw

Sunday I depart for LA and the next day I depart for Japan for the next 10 months.
I won't be writing here, so feel free to read my exchange blog, http://hellonippon.wordpress.com/

you are mediumorchid
#BA55D3

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be.

Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

Seven

distortedwinds@hotmail.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:10:58 GMT

So here's this meme thats been floating around. Write seven random facts about yourself.

1. I can't stay mad at anyone for more than 1/2 an hour. Seriously. I try to hold grudges, but I just can't. This is why I find it impossible to actually hate anyone. I'm a nice person.

2. You know that lady who owns like 20 cats? Yeah, that's going to be me in the future. I could never have too many cats. Right now my mother limits it to two. I'm heartbroken.

3. I'm minorly OCD about things. I also perform tasks in the same way. Example: when I wash the dishes, I always do the plates, the cutlery, the cups, and then the rest. I always put on my make-up the exact same way. I eat food in order. I don't freak out or anything if I don't do things this way, its just irritating.

4. I actually like America more than my homeland Canada. Probably because I lived there during my key years. I like Kemptville, but only for the people, not for the land itself.

5. I have this insane desire to visit Antarctica, even though I despise the cold.

6. Apparently I am attracted to older, balding men. Yes. I find the likes of Alan Rickman and Alton Brown attractive. And then there's Elvis, who's not even alive anymore...According to popular opinion.

7. "What I want to be when I grow up" ranges from historian to chef to hotel manager to journalist. I have ideas, plenty of ideas, but no definite plans. I suspect I'll try out archeology, though.

Which File Extension are You?

Party

distortedwinds@hotmail.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:43:50 GMT

On Saturday I went with Thomas, Liam, and Dan to Winchester for Jessica's party. When we arrived we went upstairs to pick out a game to play. We just chose Scruples, without really knowing what it was. Which is why it took us forever to even figure out how to play the game. We played for real for a little while, but then we got bored and just read out the funny questions.
After that it started getting dark out, so we drove to the park down the road and went sledding down the big hill. Jess and I only went down once or twice, but Liam and Thomas and Dan were going crazy. Actually, Liam was really daring.
Eventually we got cold, wet, and hungry and went back to Jessica's house for pizza. After we got back, Cassidy showed up. While we ate, we attempted to play The DaVinci Code board game with very little success. We were all so confused. So after eating we watched an episode of Big Bang Theory, which was pretty funny, and then we watched The Producers. So now I am singing all the music from that.
So that was pretty fun, and I didn't get home until about 12:20 AM.

Sunday was work, and I mixed a bagillion cans of paint for people.

Today is Family Day, some random holiday someone made up.

Happy Valentines!

Today I traced my middle name, Adrian(n)a back to the 1700s.

When I'm bored I look up my name on Google. The other day I found this website, which links my family (Merkies) with a bunch of other families, namely the Commissaris family.

Cool :D

Also, we got a dog last night!!! His name is Tag and he's about 2 1/2 years old. He's pretty cute; he's a Miniature Australian Shepherd.

crazy nights

Last night was amazing.

After work and eating supper, Liam and Thomas came to pick me up. We drove over to Cassie's house; she lives near Marc in the same subdivision.
When we got there, everyone else was already there (we were a bit late). Everyone else being Cassie, Marc, Bryn (Marc's girlfriend), Ella, and Dan.
I spent the first little while watching people play Guitar Hero and then taking a stab (a pitiful one at that) at it myself, while Thomas played Wii with Liam and Marc.
After we were all sufficiently amused by Guitar Hero, we sat down to play Disney Scene it. It was pretty sad that we were all doing badly except for Cassie! And then on one of the all play questions where it slowly reveals the letters, only Marc got that it was The Princess Diaries. He was pretty proud of himself.
By the time we figured Cassie was going to beat us all regardless, it was 9:30 or so. So we all went and got changed in the various rooms in Cassie's crazy basement. Then we went upstairs and out to the hot tub....only we had to walk across a snow-covered porch, down the snow-covered stairs, across a piece of lawn and into the hot tub!! We were all yelling and screaming and holy crap the hot tub made our cold feet burn! And because all 8 of us got in to a fairly small hot tub, the water overflowed and shut it off and we couldn't see to get it back on! So Cassie had to get a flashlight and wade through knee-deep snow to the electrical outlet box thing and turn the hot tub back on!
We sat in the hot tub for a while, just warming up and then it started to snow. Pretty hard. So we were all covered in snow on our heads. Then someone...maybe Liam or Dan, decided we should run around the house (we decided against running to the road because there was a big ditch). So A bunch of us, including me, jumped out and started running around the house (it's a pretty big house)! The first little bit was alright, but BLOODY FREEZING! And then when we got around the front of the house, the snowdrifts were so hight I could barely move! It was crazy!! My legs were burning for the rest of night, but it was crazy fun!!
We stayed in the hot tub a little longer to warm up, and then we realized that we had left our towels and sweaters outside hanging on the railing of the stairs to the porch and now that it was like, blizzarding, they were all covered in snow!! So we ran out of the hot tub, grabbed our towels as fast as we could (I ended up grabbing Bryn's and she grabbed mine), and running inside to huddle by the door and drip dry.
After we all changed back into dry clothes, we played a bit more Guitar Hero and then Dan put in this Arnold movie called True Lies, which we basically just watched because Arnold is hilarious. By the time we were about an hour into the movie, it was already 12 AM, so we turned it off and we all went home (save for Marc and Bryn, who went home a little earlier).
Liam drove me home and I basically collapsed into bed.
