Avatar: The Last Airbender

soooo, I finished watching Book 3 this week. . .yeah. It was amazing. loved it. can't believe it's over. owarimashita. honto ni shinjirarenai kagiri bikkuri shimashita.

It was an awesome ending. I loved it. I actually went back and watched Sozen'
s Comet, all four parts again the next day. I just couldn't get enough of the ending. it was amazing!

so, yeah, that's all good.

And I've realized two things:
1- still haven't found the Elvish Gypsy Pirate Minion Fiend
2- my goats are missing. they're at home. I'll have to fix that very soon. . . .

but, yeah, that's all. . .flamio hotman!

You can't stop it, Satan!

So, word is probably breaking all over the emails and institute and seminary buildings in the LDS community world-wide. . .especially in Utah, because it was announced yesterday that there will be a new temple i~n. . .

PAYSON!!!

ureshii dayo! I was so happy! First a temple to be built in Sapporo, Japan (bringing it to THREE temples in the land of the rising sun) and now Payson!

What's funny was that ever since I moved to Elk Ridge when I was eight years old, I always thought it would be really neat to look out my window and see a temple right outside of it. Even in Orem I couldn't see the Provo temple, and you definitely couldn't see it from Elk Ridge (you could find the general location but you couldn't see it). It was just a little fantasy but I always wanted it to be real. I'd even daydream about it. In my first year of college, I shared that little fantasy with a roommate and she just laughed at me and told me that it wouldn't happen. Payson was too small and the Provo temple was close enough.

*big happy grin* take that old roommate! My fantasy's coming true! honto ni ureshii desu yo! ureshii!! ureshii!!

Jekkatran: ureshii=happiness, happy, that's great!

yep. I happy is!

Trunky or Lazy?

So, I feel like posting again. I got an email from my Mom which was a forward from my Aunt Leanne (see new blog link posted migino shitano hou) asking if I had a facebook. Which comes up something. I want to start a facebook but I currently feel too lazy to upload pictures and whatnot. I mean, I want to start posting some of the more fun pictures I have like when I went to the Ghibli museum, jinjas, and saw Fujisan from a park, but to do that requires more than an hour on the computer.

In my defense, I got to the point where I wouldn't be on the computer for more than 45-mins. One time, I only used the computer for 30 mins. To put this in perspective, I'll remind minnasan that as a missionary you get one day out of the week (called Preparation Day/P-Day) where you got to go sight-seeing and email your family. but becuase you either had a cost or time limit, you didn't get a lot of time to do email. So, I got down to being done in 30 mins.

I've only been home two and a half weeks! shinjirarenai! crazy desu yo!

But, oh well, on to more exciting things. . .it slushed today. You could say snow but it was sticky wet snow that becomes slush. So, that was fun walking to and from the school today.

And I'm thinking of going on a quest to find the Elvish Pirate Gypsy Minion Fiend. She has disappeared from society. I suspect she got trapped in a library (again) or got lost when travelling to Neverland. I will inform you all of how the journey goes. ja matta ne!

*shoulders backpack and goes marching off singing* Oh where oh where is ElvishPirateGypsyMinionFiend? Oh where oh where can she be? She's got a long green cloak and wicked cool knives. Oh where oh where can she be?

Konnichiwa!

Minnasan! Konnichiwa! o-genki desu ka! Jekka desu! Kaette shimaimashita! Japan wa sugoku FUN deshita! Desuga ima College ni imasu. hayakutemo Class ni ittari shukudai wo oyoidari shiteirun desu.

So, I'm back. I'm alive. I'm at school now. I miss nihongo. Eigo is weird. I have a lot of homework to catch up on. Homecoming talk is this sunday, January 17 at Elk Ridge 2nd ward (the church behind my house) at good ol' 9:00 am. Hope to see peoples there! You can point and laugh as I struggle to do a talk in eigo. It's been 18 months since I've done a talk in eigo.

*examines picture* is that me? When was I holding a snake that big? doko de tottano? Where was that taken? Is that really me?

*mumbles more japanese* Joonze chourou ga itara i~stumo nihongo wo shaberu tsumori da. ima taihen desu. ato de shasshin wo shimasu.

ja matta ne!
