xanga is just becoming better and better with all these new options open to ‘classic’ users like me (aka, ppl who wont pay to become premium).  Now I can add my own photos!  yatta!

things have not been good in the past 24hours.  I really dont want to get into why, but my heart is feeling really heavy, and Im doubting again as to wether I will pass overall.  its really hard.  i know its just another week and a half i have to get through, but the only other time i remember uni being this hard was when i got the chicken pox.  and that was a very good reason to feel down.

and there is other stuff going on in my life of couse, but its all on the back burners for now.  i hate living for the future and not now. 

this was sent to me by Liz, its pretty sweet, so I want to share it

SIMPLE FRIEND vs A REAL FRIEND

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn’t know your parents’ first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of Pepsi to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Christian also emailed me with great news that He and Junko are expecting!  So Im very happy for them.  Hopefully I’ll get to see them next time im in japan (we havent had much luck on the last few trips)

And Bec, one of the girls from church in japan, has started her own blog – http://blog.goo.ne.jp/bec_crozier278  i always loved getting her monthly updates, so much inspirational stuff happens in her life, almost everytime I read something from her it makes me cry

I’m working more proactivly with one of my 43 things lately – watch every movie anyone asks me if I have watched.  I hired out Hitchhikers, which no one had asked me, but i really did want to see it.  and I hired out Team America, and Princess Bride.  Team America was not quite what i thought it would be, i was expecting more controversial.  however i am walking around saying ‘dukaduka jihad’ far too much…  Will watch Princess Bride tomorrow i think.

And lastly with my good news, My Voltron Collection volume 1 arrived in the mail! yay!  more stuff to watch on the holidays……
