Belated post is belated.

Almost left 'post' as 'poast' in that title. Oops.

So long time no... update! That makes sense, I think. So let's make a list of the things I'm behind on updating!
Halloween Party (and epic doo-bee-doo-pop-pop after party),
The next-day Barbecue party,
Trip to Nikko,
Trip to various news/government buildings around Tokyo,
Short trip to Kamakura, and
My upcoming AMAZING EPIC PLANS OMG I'M GOING TO BE SO TIRED AFTER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

So, let's get started! First off, Halloween party!

Scared yet? Nice mask you have there, Natsue. This was taken during the pre-party preparations! Which was an experience in itself. I had planned to make marsh mellow spiders with chocolate pocky as legs and chocolate chips as eyes. I did not realize how difficult this was. Thanks to Emily, though, these were made possible:

Yes, those ones towards the bottom are our adorable albeit ghetto marsh mellow spiders! Note how we got tired of making the spiders, and switched to marsh mellow ghosts on sticks! Regardless of how poor these look, they were a hit and there were hardly any left. Success!

Now as you all should know, I went as a devil! Here's some pictures of me and others:

KC, Marie, me and HS Satomi!

...is it a doll? NOPE! Turns out its Hagi-san! He stayed like that for about 3 hours, which is a little too much effort if you ask me. Oh well, it was pretty epic.

Me, Marie, Kozue, and KC.

HS Satomi and I.

Ayako and I!

Yinzhou and I!

This one was a little weird. These two girls came up to me and asked if they could take a picture with me. I don't know them, and like a failure I don't remember their names even though they told me. Sorry!!

Masanori as onigiri (click) posing with Hagi-san-doll.

We played a variety of games, such as the mummy-game. First team to wrap their selected member in toilet paper wins! We had a significant head start, since someone's Grandma started wrapping even though we told her we hadn't started yet. Whatever, way to stick it to the man, Gramma! Here's mummy-Masanori:

Had he taken off his onigiri head it would've been much easier to wrap. We didn't win, by the way. Even with our head start!

Hagi-san-doll, Eguchi-san-scuba-diving-monster, and I! This Eguchi-san, he's the main person in charge of us foreign exchange students. I almost didn't believe it was him dressed up like this, but it was. Awkward. BUT! His scary mask did manage to make some small children cry, and thus Eguchi-san is my new hero.

Manami and I! With Pants making an appearance in the background. Pants? Yes, you read that correctly. Another story for another day.

All of the exchange students together! Starting from the right: Kiana, Alex, Niki, Kelli, Nicole, Brenna, KC, Marie, me, and Yinzhou!

Now another game they had was a costume contest! They had three catagories, one for children, one for regular KGU students, and one for exchange students. And the winner for best children's costume went to...

No, not Eguchi-san. This little strawberry!

And for the regular KGU students, the winner was...

Hagi-san! No, he did not move to receive his prize, either.

And now for the winner of the exchange students! And the winner was...
...ME!
Like the boss I am. For my prize, I received a couple of postcards and a little sword key chain. Heh.

After the party, Satomi (HS) and I went to eat ramen, then to karaoke with a couple of her friends! This is what I referred to earlier, the epic doo-bee-doo-pop-pop after party. I say doo-bee-doo-pop-pop, because her friend Kacchan got drunk and decided to sing this really weird song that went doo-bee-doo-pop-pop-ok-YEEEEEEEEAH. It was hilarious. It goes without saying, of course, I did not get drunk. Get off my back, people, I can already hear you whining.

Now since it won't take long, let's recap the next day barbecue!

...it was fun!

Yeah, I didn't take any pictures. There might be some on facebook though, I'm not sure. Anyway, there was lots of good food, etc.


The rest will have to wait until another day! Hopefully tomorrow, but you know me. HOWEVER! From Friday the 29th until Friday the 5th I'll be extremely busy. It's my fall break! So what I'm trying to say is, that its incentive to update on everything I'm behind on before I leave, since I will NOT be taking my computer with me.

So, until tomorrow!

Goodnight everyone~

  2. You won a costume contest by putting on a pretty dress and a headband with horns on it?

    Wow. Popular, much? :P

    So was scuba-diver-monster's mask about as scary as they come? I'm just thinking of one we have that's a blue skinned demon with wispy white hair that literally scares adults sometimes. . .

    What's the legs of those spiders? Choco-covered pretzels? Looks YUMMY, and I'm hungry right now. LOL I'd melt that whole bad boy right up and make a s'more out of it!

    You still doing awesome in your classes? How's the HF treating you?

  3. @April: Yep, apparently I did. The standards were not very high!
    His mask was a bit scary I guess? It didn't fit him properly though, I felt like it should have hidden his neck. Maybe it was actually for a kid?? Hahaha..
    The legs are just chocolate covered biscuit sticks! They're... decent. Not ridiculously delicious. Damn, now I want s'mores...

    Yes classes are still going well! The HF are treating me wonderfully, I haven't posted about this yet, but the other night they made me TACOS!!!

  4. You posted a bit about the tacos on FB. Tacos sound rad right now. I wonder if somewhere does 50 cent tacos around here, 'cause I am waaaaay too lazy to fry up some taco shells.

    I'm eating a s'more right now. Just to spite your lucky-a$$-in-Japan self. :P

    Hope that doesn't ruin my chances of getting your cute Japanese hand-me-downs (or "ups" I should say)! O:-)

    Hey, I do believe "tomorrow" was yesterday, and I don't see a new post!!!
