these arms long to hold you againI've been thinking about how much I miss my cat lately. I miss snuggling with him and the puppy on the couch on the weekends. One thing that really brought this to my attention was when I was looking through the Lonely Planet Japan guide and saw that there is a place called
Nekobukuro in Ikebukuro where you can stop by and pet cats. Stopping there for a couple of hours one of the days we are in Tokyo is going to be a must - I just miss animal companionship so much!
So Nailz and I have our basic itinerary down. Except for accommodations for Kyoto and Kumamoto, we are all set! I am looking forward to next week when everything should be finalized and then I won't feel so anxious (I hope). The trip is coming up pretty quick. I'm not going to put the dates we are going to be in Japan here on the internets, but after the trip is over, I'm sure I will post a little about what we did, where and when.
Last thing that is causing me some anxiety is getting a suitcase for the trip. I can't believe how expensive luggage is!! I will need to get one soon though, as I would like to start packing (how sad is that?) so it's not a last minute thing.
Not much else new here. Work has been kind of slow over the holidays, so some of the days have really been crawling by. Think I will check some blogs to pass the time...
OH NOES!! Another meme ganked from Nailz (who got it from Doom)...
1)Where did you begin 2007?
In a basement room with little-to-no light except for the flickering from the screen of Soul Caliber II. Oh wait - I think that might've been 2006 - who keeps track of these things anyway?
2) What was your status by Valentine's Day?
Stalking 5 hot Japanese rockers with my best friend (frostbite was definitely worth it!!)
3) Favorite movie of 07?
The Sound of Music *snickers* Since that is what I watched the most willingly and often.
4) How did you earn your money?
Like everyone else does.
5) Did you have to go to the hospital this year?
Not the hospital, no.
6) Did you have any encounters with the police?
Unfortunately, no. *drools over hot Roseville cop*
7) Where did you go on holidays?
What are holidays?
8) What did you purchase that was over $1,000?
Nothing - though I have been paying off my car loan in large chunks...
9) Did you know anybody who got married?
A couple of couples, but they all (as per the trend) got married when I couldn't possibly be there. I'm beginning to think that if I ever want to get married, I'll have to make sure I won't be able to make it.
10) Did you know anybody who passed away?
I don't think I went to any funerals last year. *checks memory* Nope - that was 2006.
11) Did you lose any friends?
Um...well, the tracking devices I implanted in my closest friends really makes that question null and void.
12) Did you move anywhere?
Yes, but I'm "moving" back this summer.
13) What concerts/shows did you go to?
Dir en Grey and I got to be in Chuck Norris's armpit for a couple of seconds - it was awesome!
14) Are you registered to vote?
Of course! Now if I could just decide for who...

Until I read Nailz's answer to this, I didn't know what the hell this question was about.
16) Where do you live now?
In the tropic of cancer.
17) What's something you thought you'd never do but did in 2007?
Got within arms reach of hot J-rockers, bought a laptop AND an mp3 player
18) What has been your favorite moment(s)?
Any moment where my stomach was full of good food and in the presence of my beloved friends, family and pets.
19) Where did you go on vacation?
Didn't we already answer this?? I'm in the tropics, every day is a vacation. *sarcasm*
20) Any new additions to your family?
No, but I would like to add some fish this year. Murphy would love them!
21) What was your favorite month?
I'm going with March as well. Anime Detour kicked butt this year and it was the last bit of real fun I had in 2007.
22) How much have you partied?
once or twice
23) Made new friends?
I have a few new ones.
24) What did you do for 4th of July?
Sat around in my underwear and bra with 15 other girls in a tent that was a sweltering 100 degrees just to escape the sun and longed for a swimming pool and a cool glass of water.
25) Favorite Night Out?
Any night not spent out - but in.
26) Name the instance in which you had most to drink:
Well, one time I drank over 6 bottles of water in a few hours, so that was pretty extreme.
27) Are you in a relationship with someone you met this year?
No, but I would like to be in a relationship with someone I met 3 years ago.
