I just finished getting my room into a semblance of organization. Still don't have all the furniture though.
Life is putting itself back together faster than I thought it would. Already I have a job, a place to live, and a car (a silver 98 Hyundai Accord named Silverado~). The car has some character flaws (cracked windshield, belts need replacing, and oh yeah if I lock the driver-side door I'll never be able to open it again) but it runs and has low mileage on it so yee haw!.
I talked to my host family yesterday morning and they are doing fabulously (they were all drunk and had just finished eating a huge meal). They said that life in Tokyo was completely back to normal and a black out still hasn't happened in their area. Now i'm feeling a little bit angry for being forced to come back seeing as how everything is fine in my area. I'm not going to brood over it though.
I turned 21today and although i've been drinking and buying my own alcohol in other countries for a couple years now, it was still exciting to buy my first bottle of wine in America (and my first beer last night at 12:30 am was pretty exciting too). It feels like i'm about to start on a whole new life now that i'm 21 and have nothing else to look forward to in terms of birthdays (not true, you have the 25 tax cut, the big 'FIVE OH' and senior discounts!). I'm excited for this new life and embrace it whole heartedly.
Here's to being able to drink legally for once,
PEACE OUTSIDE ( next post about SE Asia coming next!)

| I actually stayed inside on my birthday; putting my room together. It's just not the same when you've already experienced bar life ahead of time. |

Happy Birthday lady! :D
Okay, next time you come down to Independence you will have to go out and have a drink with grandma. So glad things are going great for you so quickly and am happy to hear your host family is doing great. I know you must feel frustrated but better to be on the safe side, right? Glad you like our gifts. I thought a new laptop briefcase would be nice for your job. Take care honey and am looking forward to seeing you. You being 21 means I am just getting older. Love and hugs.
