( my Harry Potter husband )


Like I expected anything else...... (OK, there is one other that would have been OK, but this is better).

I found this quiz while looking for their pictures for something else. haha


(PS the pic came from here)

ooops..... I forgot.

Day 4 (Dec. 3):
I am happy that I was able to eat real food (sandwich) and not get sick.
I am happy that I got to talk to a student for a while and the teachers let us talk.
I am happy that I had time to talk to one of the teachers while everyone else was at the staff meeting.


Day 5 (Dec. 4):
I am happy that my students are adorable. And idiots.... but let's focus on the adorable part.
I'm happy that my co-workers are great people (who sometimes give me stuff, but also remember to ask about me).

Day 6 (Dec. 5):
I am happy that the bad school wasn't as bad as they can be.
I am happy that if I stay next year I won't have to go to the bad school.

After feeling really sick for a long time last night, I managed to not actually *get* sick, and my fever us gone.
My students and the teachers were beyond sweet again <3<3.


This isn't something happy, but it makes me laugh for an unknown reason - I got some ads in my mailbox. They are ads for 2 call girl services, and the girls will do anything (it even lists their services, some of which I didn't know the Japanese for until just now!).

Things that made me happy:
I didn't get sick at work.
MY VP was sweet and kept telling me to go home early.
A bunch of my students said they were really worried about me. (<3<3)
I found out that a bunch of other teachers were sick this weekend too.
My dad E-mailed me.
I didn't wreck the rental car.

The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

i don't know if i will be able to post all 8 days but we will see.

i am happy that i was able to make it to the car place by myself and get back home safely. and i am happy that i can keep white bread and clear liquids down.

i'm supposed to tag people but i think most people i know have been tagged, so.... if you haven't been tagged and want to do it, go for it.

kenaressa did this, I am bored so ehhh what the hell.

If you go over 45, you're a bad influence.
If you go under 15, chances are you live under a rock and have no life... even more harsh.

I got 39. Some of these were dumb. I mean, who hasn't taken pain killers? And what does having an injury have to do with anything?

So I graduated again. That should be my last graduation, unless I get dumb and want another degree. Which isn't likely.

Anyway, if you want to read my thesis, you can get it here (It's a pdf file - might be best to right click and save as)

So yeah....

I got R from renchan5

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.

1. Rebecca - yeah, my name. What? I used to hate my name. But I don't anymore. I kinda like it. Even though because of my E-mail address people spell it Rebeccah. Anyway, funny story about my name. When I was a freshman in high school, the first English I had I didn't really know anyone in (big surprise!). So I was sitting there and I heard someone say Rebecca. I turned around and it was this girl. She looked at me and asked if my name was Rebecca. I said yes. She said she was talking about this book she had read called Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and that her name was Daphne. We became friends. How sweet.

2. Rosso E Azzuro - Domoto Tsuyoshi's first solo album/DVD. I don't like all of the songs on there, and I think that [si] is a better album overall, but Dekiai Logic freakin' rocks. And the DVD is too cool. I mean, he freakin' smokes during the con. And he is so rock. Plus, the DVD has Momo which is way too awesome and random.

3. Reading - I like to read. I love to read. School (especially grad school) has tried to destroy my desire to do so.

4. Ryo (Nishikido Ryo) - I hate him. OK, not really. He isn't as bad as I used to think he was. his smile is kinda cute. OK - I do hate him.

5. Run Lola Run - It's a pretty cool movie. I watched it like a jillion times my senior year of high school and my freshman year at college/uni. Hell, I saw it in the movie theater.

6. Rashamon - YES! This movie fucks with your head. Plus we talked about it in one of my stupid grad courses. Mifune is freakin' awesome.

7. Rainbow Bright - I used to love this show. Apparently they came out with a cereal and I made my mom buy it but I didn't eat it. I don't remember that. I do remember buying a shirt with Rainbow Bright on it before I started college/uni. I wore it to the Japan Fest we did that year, and I totally owned in that color game. We had to put our finger on something that was the same color that Tim-sensei (that guy who had the Irasshai TV Show on GPTV). Haha my shirt had like every color. It was awesome.

8. Red - I used to want a red car. I don't hate the color red but it isn't my favorite. I like red sauce better on pasta.

9. Red Dwarf - I used to love watching this show. GPTV showed them out of order though, so it would jump around a lot. But still - I always got a good laugh from it.

10. Rambling - I ramble. A lot. Like in this meme thing.
