Quickly about my cell phone.
So I found out on Sunday when I went to buy my cell phone with Daizy and Josh that I need to go to Sendai City Hall (completely out of the way and lots of money) to get a stamp of my new address on the back of my Alien Registration Card in order to buy my cell phone. *sighs* Great. Daizy and I are planning on doing that on Saturday.
My phone will look exactly like David`s. The main company that does Pre-Paid phone service is Softbank (although I`d love an AU phone - they don`t do Pre-Paid, though and plans are 2 year agreements), and they only have 2 models for Pre-Paid phones. One that`s butt ugly, and David`s phone. ^-^ Daizy and I are going to put lots of fun things on it. Like sparkly things and Purikura. It will be awesome. And it has a SIM card so I can use my phone out of Japan. XD
Now the concert.
The Live would have been more awesome had people actually been dancing. Like they were just standing there while the music was playing. Josh, Daizy, and I were like, "wtf? DANCE!" So we were the dancing Gaijin. It was awesome.
The music itself FREAKING ROCKED!!!!!! XD Seriously, I want to buy like ALL the CDs THE BANDS ARE SO GOOD!!!!!! The live lasted from 5 - 10 or so. It was good funfun. But I think I`ll only go again one or two more times. Because the non-dancing really brought the Live down, but I want to buy CDs. ^-^
My host family doesn`t know the movie Mulan. Which is very sad. I will introduce it to them (I KNOW I saw it at the video store).
Oh, tomorrow I`m wearing my Spelling Bee shirt under my uniform, as tomorrow is the Second Annual Wear Your Broadway Musical Shirt Day!!! Very few people in Japan understand my love of musicals. Mainly it`s the adults who understand. Like Oizumi Sensei and the Music teacher (tomorrow I`ll post a rant about the schedule and how I can`t take Music or Home Ec. *pouts*). But....
YUU CHAN KNOWS RENT!!!!!!!!!
I died. With joy. She doesn`t really know the plot or anything since she hasn`t seen it, but she knows the name at least, and that makes me SUPER happy!!!!! Seriously. How do these people find me? Someone who knows Rent (Yuu), a male ballerina (Mao), and a girl who does traditional Japanese archery who also draws manga really well (Rina), IN THE SAME CLASS AS ME IN JAPAN???? XD Life is happy.
Also, the girl who sits next to me in Bio, I think her name is Yuuka. She is too cute for her own good. Why are all the Japanese girls who are nerdy with glasses SO FREAKING ADORABLE??? They are all too cute for their own good. It`s rather magical (yes, Dasha, I am starting to use your terms. AHH!!). XD

Not Japan Related
So as those of you who know me know, in Portland I am (was) a member of the youth activist group, YOUTHINK. Our mission statement is:
YOUTHINK is a youth driven organization that empowers young people in the city of Portland to speak and act on decisions that affect their lives.
Now, those of you who are new to YOUTHINK or are having a "what is that thing again?" moment, we are a dedicated group of young people in the city of Portland who are working to give youth voice in the community. We feel that a city where youth`s opinions are cared about is a city where youth give back to their community in positive ways.
On Friday, I missed (but was there for the planning of) one of the more revolutionary events in YOUTHINK`s history. The First (hopefully) Annual Youth Summit, where 150 youth in the city of Portland gathered to express their views on issues in the city. Here is an e-mail that I received from Ainsley (the director of YOUTHINK, and one of my very good friends/the sister I should have had ^-^) about how the Summit went. I`m so proud of all of this year`s YOUTHINKers, you guys did an excellent job! YEAH for shaking up Portland!
"Hello Friends of YOUTHINK,
With over 150 youth in attendance, the first ever Portland Youth Summit on Friday was an ambitious and groundbreaking pilot event! You can get some of the sights and sounds of the day here (we got remarkable press coverage!):

In June, you'll hear about the Youth Agenda and Vision for Portland resulting from the Summit and our neighborhood conversations. Stay tuned...Thanks for all your support for past, present, and future YOUTHINK endeavors!

Brought to You By Ultra Clutch Hairspray....
I survived my second earthquake. Last night we watched Hairspray until like 12:30 and then went to bed/I lied awake for a few hours cause I couldn`t get to sleep from thinking about things while Miri txted to her friends. And then the earthquake hit. And the first thing I thought was "s*** (my parents reminded me that there are children in my family/siblings of my friends reading this), I am NOT going to get even 5 hours of sleep tonight, am I?" XD Well, I don`t think I did. I almost fell asleep before Culture class today, but that`s ok. I came home and had a 45 minute nap before dinner. Obaasan makes amazing food. Dinner was wonderful. Breakfast was a cinnomon roll that I got last night at Jusco (the shopping center - we go every Wednesday), but lunch was awesome. OKAASAN CUT MICKEY MOUSE HEAD OUT OF NORI AND PUT IT OVER MY RICE!!!!!!! *dies* I couldn`t get a picture of it (my camera was at home), but Mai from ichinensei (first year class) got a picture on her phone and I`ll ask her to send it to me when I get my new phone (which will be before the concert on Sunday).Sunday night Joanna, Emika, Daisy, a bunch of others, and I are going to a concert. I don`t think the band is well known (I can`t remember their name, but they are SO F***ING AWESOME). Emika knows at least a few of the members so she always gets to go to these private concerts. It rocks. And Joanna and Emika said that I can sleep over if the concert ends too late (which is good - because Emika`s mom adores me, seriously, it`s pretty awesome - and she says that Jeff - my brother for those who don`t know/don`t remember - looks like John Lennon XD). *smiles*
Today I took out an account at the International School Library. I know I shouldn`t be reading books in English, but how can I resist when they have my favorite Amy Tan book, Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath, The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe, Shattered Mirror (the only Amelia Atwater-Rhodes book they have, at least they have one, but I really would like to read Midnight Predator again), and SO MANY OTHERS???? *literary geek brain vein explodes*
Mom, dad, since I`m going to the concert Sunday night, let`s talk another time. Happy Early Mother`s Day!!!
Daisy and I are planning on going to Izumi to buy my cell phone with a SIM card on Sunday before the concert. We actually found the PERFECT one last time we were at Izumi, so I`m really excited!!! XD
Oh, and thanks for all the comments, guys. *note the sarcasm*
Dean! Give people at lunch hugs for me!!! Missing the Latin Pow Wow Group! Good luck on the AP Tests everyone!
YOUTHINK - Good luck with the Summit! Yeah for youth voice in the city of Portland! :D
Everyone going to Queer Prom - HAVE A BLAST!!!! XD

Krystal`s Going to College!!!
My host family is so fricken awesome. They grow their own food. Seriously, they have rice patties and crap and grow their own rice, bamboo, and vegetables. It`s amazing. I love it. ^-^
Yesterday, about 16 people in the International Course went out to yakiniku, which was amazing. We had SO much meat!!!! XD I spent a lot more money than I should have yesterday, but it was so worth it. After yakiniku, we went out to karaoke, and then I met up with Miri and Tomo (who were at yakiniku but decided to shop around Izumi instead of karaoke), and we went to a book and music store before we had to catch the bus.
Ebi (shrimp) burgers at Mcdonalds in Japan are like a little peace of heaven on Earth. Seriously. They = love. But all I can think about now is Supersize Me (which we saw in Oral Communications class, to prepare ninensei - the second graders - for their exchange programs coming up in August). lol. I just need to remind myself that the Mcdonalds in Supersize Me was in America, not Japan. ^-^
Unfortunately, I brought my camera to yakiniku, but forgot to take pictures. Baka. Anyway, I should go because Miri and I are going watch a DVD soon! And I have udon to eat! Yay! Jya ne!
KRYSTAL!!! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON GETTING THE $$ FOR COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!! XD *does happy dance*
Pack your bags, cause University of Hawaii at Manoa, here you come! *smiles*

Doing My Happy Dance
I`m only going to update quickly. I`m at Emika`s house for the next two days (until Friday afternoon), when I`ll be moving to Miri`s. *smiles*
A. I`m SO excited to be here at Emika`s! It`s really fun, being with Emika, Joanna, Emika`s CRAZY mother, her brother, and 4 dogs (2 are inside dogs, 2 are outside dogs). We had SO much fun tonight. Kazu from ichinensei (the first year class) came over and chilled with us for a while since he lives around here.
B. I can`t wait to go to Miri`s! She`s really nice, and it`ll be lots of fun to have someone to talk to/do things with!
Anyway, I have some homework for Jason sensei that I should do. Want to stay on his good side if I want to sing and have him play guitar at Sendai Station during the Jazz Festival this summer!
Also, I`m probs going to Mt. Fuji for the last week of summer vacation for the camp hosted (and paid for) by JFIE. Can`t wait!!! XD

Sendai City
So, yeah. I haven`t posted for a while. Things have been rather crazy in both my lives. My life in America and my life in Japan (as my closest friends well know). But here`s an update on what I did this weekend.
On Saturday, Daisy and I FINALLY had our day in Sendai City. She invited David to come along, which was also really fun. So in addition to getting my package from my parents (JUNO AND ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!!! XD - Juno can`t work here because my host family doesn`t have a DVD player that`s compatable with American DVDs, but that`s ok, I think I may be able to watch it at Daisy`s), I took the bus to Sendai City...BY MYSELF! XD
It was awesome because I knew that Sendai Station was the last stop, so I was totally fine. I found my way fairly easily. And then while I was waiting for Daisy and David to show up, I found a bookstore where there was a happy joyus amount of manga. Unfortunately, it was all bundled up into plastic wrapping, so I couldn`t look at the pretty Haruhi pictures. *insert sad face here*
Am still looking for the last 2 Fruits Baskets, however. I think I have yet to find them because I have yet to go to a Book Off, which Daisy promised to take me to the next time I am in Sendai. *smiles*
I WILL FINISH FURUBA BEFORE YOU SUNA YAH AND MINSU YAH!!!!! I WILL WIN!!!!! XD
So, yeah. Once Daisy and David showed up, we went to Karaoke at a really cool secluded place. I think it is my new favorite place to go. And it was only like $3 for 2 hours (plus food, but I don`t count it since i totally could have bought a cheaper meal at Family Mart and brought it with me). If you only have 3 people, 2 hours is fine for karaoke.
Then we went around shopping for a bit. I freaked with joy at every gaijin we saw. Of course. ^-^ And I bought a really cute yellow short sleeved sweatshirt. Short sleeved. Yeah, kinda defeats the purpose, but whatever. It`s cute and I like it. And I am wearing it now.
We also did PURIKURA! I LOVE PURIKURA! IT IS WONDERFUL! IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY! XD When I come back to America, I will have a very amazing Purikura book to show you all. *smiles*
Yesterday and today I just chilled around the house and town. I really should get more pictures of where I live since tomorrow is my last day in my host family`s home. Wednesday after school I am moving to my new host family`s home. Which I think is Miri`s family. I`m really excited about it, because even though she speaks almost no English, and I speak almost no Japanese (although Mao and Haruka insist that it`s getting better :) ), she adores me.
Anyway, I should go and start putting things in my bag. I have too many books. I love books.

Sakura Pictures!!!
They are posted!!! Enjoy them!!!
I have an amazing Charmmy Kitty (who is, yes, BETTER than Hello Kitty - Bess, you will one day realize this and then BEG my forgiveness for your mistake all these years) bag that my cotton candy came it. It was magical amounts of joy.
After we went to the sakura viewing, we all decided to go to karaoke and then purikura. Because we rock like that. So Oizumi Sensei went home, and the 9 of us went to karaoke for an hour and a half (because Emika and Joanna were going to a party, it started at 6, but they were late), and David showed me which bus I need to take to get home from Sendai City. If I get off at the Family Mart area, then I get to pay about 40 yen less than if I get off closer to my house. I`m thinking of seeing how much less I have to pay if I get off across the street from Tohoku High School, which would only be a 15 minute walk or so to home. And it`s TOTALLY safe to walk around at night. Like, think North Deering near the Falmouth border safe. So I could save some money doing that. *smiles*
Now I just need to figure out when the bus comes on Saturday, because Daisy and I are planning to go cell phone hunting. I want to buy a cheap one, with a SIM card, and a pre-paid plan. Those are my requirements. A good bonus would be Windows Mobile, which would enable me to get on the internet and therefore connect with Skype. But it`s definitely not necessary.
Today, the kids at school had their routine medical checkup. Emika and Miri were all sad about the shots they had to take. Apparently, Emika cried, poor thing. I just hugged her and was all, "daijoubu, daijoubu!". But, yeah, while they were having their medical checkup, Josh, Joanna, David, and I had a massively long lesson with Jason Sensei where we did fun game type things. *smiles*
Anyway, I should go, it took forever to upload those pictures! XD Hope you all are well!
Let me know when the Sea Dogs start playing! I want to beg my parents for a Sea Dogs...something! *looks over at mom and dad*

What do you do with 1000 yen in the middle of nowhere? SPEND IT ON FOOD!!!
How can you unexpectedly spend 1000 yen in one day while living in the middle of nowhere in Sendai?
Well, I will tell you.
400 or so on re-stocking your candy supply and a cold green tea.
300 on the takoyaki that a random man sold in a random stand set up outside the grocery store that you went to to re-stock your candy supply (I promised myself that I would buy takoyaki at every available opportunity. I LOVE TAKOYAKI!!!! XD)
100 or so at Family Mart on a rice ball
and when I say "or so" I mean it was more.
so, yes, you can do it! it is possible! and because the food here rocks so hard, it`s really hard NOT to spend money on it!!!
TAKOYAKI!!!!!!!!!

"...Because they were telling us in health class that pregnancy can often lead to an infant."
Summer Vacation Goal (even though it doesn`t start until the end of July): Go to as many Zepp Sendai concerts as possible.
Bought a purikura book today, must fill it with pictures (well, purikura).
Am going to a さくら viewing picnic with my class on Sunday!!!! XD Sensei is picking me (and hopefully Haruka - she`s still not sure if she can go) up at Tohoku HS on Sunday at 10 and taking me (us) to Sendai Station (仙台えき), where we start our adventure.The jocks of Tohoku HS are the baseball team. This does not cease to amuse me even though I found this out last week.
Also, spent time at school for quite a while, I didn`t get home until quarter to 6, but it was mad fun yo. And, yes, I just said yo.
Emika is amazing. She`s Joanna`s host sister, and shorter than me!!! *does happy dance* We already have plans to go to the ocean and the pool during summer vacation as well as purikura and karaoke!!! She`s OBSESSED with Korea and wants to live there, meaning that she knows DBSK and Shinhwa. While I don`t listen to them much, it`s exciting to know there`s someone else here who knows Korean boy bands (most of the people here are more into Koda Kumi, Mika Nakashima, Mr. Children, and Monkey Majik - not that I`m complaining, because they`re all very good artists - it`s just a little taste of Maine with Minsu-yah and Suna-yah here in Nippon). *smiles*
And in case you were wondering about the title of this. I am suffering from Juno withdrawl. I love that movie so much. XD
