Let's try for a Fresh Start!

I know. I'm a terrible, horrible blogger. :(

I meant on posting things all the time in Japan. And I totally had a list on my wall with all the interesting cultural topics I wanted to talk about! Thins like....

The interesting dichotomy of old and new in Japan!
The differences in what was acceptable and not acceptable to talk about!
The things that strangers said to me when I opened my door that absolutely shocked me! (lol)
How amazing a time I was having!! :D

But... I got busy. With having an amazing time. lol

Anyways, I'm back in the States. Obviously. Though, I wish I were still there. Also obviously. ^^

But.... I am also loving being home. Of course, I do want to go back and visit Japan (study/work would be awesome too! ;) ), but I know that my home will always be America, with my amazing family and friends. :)

ANYWAYS! But, I miss blogging. I always have wanted one (as I have said before) and even constantly write blog posts in my head! Instead... my facebook ends up being filled with super long posts because they are almost blog-ish. So then I think that most of my friends don't even read what I post, haha!

Maybe if I keep an actual blog, and separate that from my facebook (which I am trying to not use as much!), I will leave my blog separate for anyone who is bored and wants to read it, and stop spamming my friends with long paragraphs of posts! Maybe. We will see. :)

But that's the plan. And as I'm coming up on almost one year from the time I started this blog, I guess it's appropriate for a new start.

Hoping that this will be a conglomeration of my thoughts/random observations, memories from the past (yeah, be ready for anything from Japan to last week to 15 years ago), hopes for the future - anything. This is going to be me. Because.... Really (for better or for worse), that's the only thing I can ever do, I think. :)

So.... let's see what happens with this! ^^ (considering that I'm procrastinating finishing a school project by writing this - something I've been meaning to write for months now - doesn't seem promising, BUT LET'S TRY ANYWAYS! ^^v )
