Darn computer...

I haven't been able to post for a while. Aaarrrggggh. Something went wrong with the computer. I've been having a hard time typing today! Let's see, updates, updates, you probably know we're missing half the family. Natalie & Jason are coming to visit from the 11th-19th. I wonder who's gonna watch their kids. They've been saying they'd come for the past 10 years! My dad talked them into coming after implying that they were scared. I'm so happy! Visitors! And, Mia & Noah won't be here to cause chaos! Although, I'm in charge of meals, I don't know what to make! Oh, dear. Lexi's in charge of laundry, and she was drying some towels in the dryer this morning, and they weren't dry enough, so she ran the cycle again, and when they came out, it was like a sauna! steam everywhere! she had me go hang the mup to dry, but they were burning hot, soaking wet, slimey, and smelt weird. And then, when I was making myself a...thingy for lunch, with melted cheese and salsa cooked in a tortilla, the salsa kept dripping onto my pants through invisible hole in the tortilla. And I have to go out of the house today too! To take halloween cookies to the Miuras and Kawaminamis. We took some to the Nanjos, Murakamis, and Ochiais yesterday. I made a masterpeice! I made a Napoleon Dynamite cookie! I cut out a gingerbread man, made his hair with orange frosting and butterscotch chips, gave him moonboots with chocolate chips, and in green frosting wrote Vote For Pedro with a toothpick. It took 20 minutes! We gave it to the Nanjos. I really wanted to take a picture, but gosh darn it! Mom took the camera! I also made mummies, skeletons, pumpkins, and spider webs.

Friday

Mia has an Undoukai tomorrow, but it might get rained out. After her undoukai, I'm going to Emi's house to sleep over through to Sunday, and watch General Conference at the 3rd ward building. Lexi doesn't feel good, so she doesn't want to go over there, and Emi doesn't feel ggod, so she doesn't want to come here. So I, alone will go, and probably meet up with Emi at Nakameguro. I don't know how, or when I'm getting home though. Ahhhhhhh!! Henceforth the cute icons, Summer is officialy over. It's been raining the past 3 days or so, and my toes are freezing!! And over the past few days, I've found that my body's crooked!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!!! When I run I flail my arms, when I breath, my left shoulder will stay down, but my right shoulder will go up!!!! Lexi laughs at me!! Cruel!!! But last night at mutual, Maika and Mana said they're totaly crooked too. Halelujah! At mutual there were no leaders there, so we did little crafts for a while, then danced HSM! Then we just sat down and chatted about life, funny experiences, things we should do together, and the like.

My dad's leaving on a buisiness trip today. he's going out the door as I speak. Lookey lookey! http://www.flixster.com/video.do?displayVideo=&videoId=2814653&topVideosThisWeek=

My weekend

On Saturday, I babysat from 9:30~ 3:30 so my parents could go to a "Energy Doctor", and Lexi to Maika & Mana's school festival. At 5:00~ is the Relief Society satalite thingy, and our friend Emi who lives near the church building they're showing it at, really wanted us to come so we could see eachother. That means we have to leave a little before 4:00. Then Lexi calls us at 3:30 asking if she could take purikura with Maika. Where has she been all this time?! We tell her to hurry home as fast as she can. At 4:45 me and my mom run into her on the way to the station. We got there at 6:00. We talk Talk TALKed with Emi. And NoBoDy recognized us!(Those from the English wards) We saw Elder Wood, and Sister Hing! Now Emi wants to have a sleepover throughout all next weekend! The problem is, is that we have a stake Youth activity on Monday, that we most definitely NEED to go to. And it's General Conference weekend, and Mia's Undokai on Saturday! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Lexi caught a cold, so she didn't go to church yesterday. She missed alot! Atsushi had us do a disscusion for the first time in Sunday school, Anna didn't critisize anything about me, AND............................................... We have a new Young Women!!!!! An exchange student from Las Vegas. Harmony La....... I forgot her last name. she staying is NakaKasai, and though she might not be able to come every week, that's still good!!!!!

Baptisms

We went to the temple testerday night.!! The brother who performed the baptisms did it different than usual. He'd hold you under forever!, then when he'd pull you back up, he'd throw you! I tripped all 20 times! I kept loosing my footing! Before we went in the temple, we all ate ice cream at Baskin Robins!! Lexi got "Cinnamon Roll...something"(In the words of lexi) I got Suprise MintNight, Maika got "Caramel Ribbon something, what she always gets" (Lexi again) While Chiba-kun, Shunichirou & Yuuichirou shared a smoothie to save money. Afterwards, when we were walking to the station, he stopped at McD's to get some dinner(a little late). And while we were on the train, he said "I hate when I only eat a little, but it's only because can't eat any more. I only ate 3 burgers. You know what I mean Yuuichirou?"(Yuuichirou agrees) "What! 2 is plenty!"(Says Maika) "Really?! I usually eat 8 (Says Chiba) But keep in mind that a McDonalds hamburger in Japan is 1.5 times smaller than in America.

Missionary & Youth Evening

This posting's a little late, but here's what we did at Missionary and Youth evening. There were like, 5 new Elders! The Adachi Elders gave a lesson on testimonies, the sisters taught everyone the activity called Chain Murder. Sounds creepy, but it's way funny! (Elder Judd!!!!) 3 people leave the room. While they're absent, the rest of the group decide 1. The scene of the crime(where it happened) 2. The occupation of the murderer 3. The weapon used. Some one is chosen to act these out(ex. Mr. Noah) Then, No. 1 returns to the room. Mr. Noah must act these 3 things out to No. 1 without using words. If No.1 thinks he understands what is being acted out to him, he touches his nose. Once he thinks he knows them all, No. 2 comes in, and he must once again act it out to her without words. She does the same to No. 3. Then No. 3 announces what he thinks the 3 things are. Then they all see if anything went wrong, and if so, where. And you just keep playing more rounds. Ours ended up very strange.(our Elders are weird!) It's fun! Then, we ate snacks and departed.

Telegram

It a super fun game! Each person receives a piece of paper. at the top you write a sentence! Don't show it to othwer players! Pass your paper to the person next to you(1). Receive the the person's paper from the other side of you(2). draw a picture explaining the sentance. Fold down the sentance so you can only see the picture. give it to (1). Receive another paper from (2). Write a sentance on it. Keep this going until there's no space left. There kinda has to be at least 4 people, so you loose track of who's is who's. Remember the weirder the better! Here's some of our funniest ones: "A quilt is a wonderful kind of thing, so lift up your voice and sing! (picture) Granny sings with joy becausr she drew scribbles on the checkers board. (picture) Elderly woman hobbles while humming a tune because of some messy patchwork. (picture) Feeble grandma mistakes a stained glass window for sheet music so she atarts to sing. (picture) Wobbly Grandma turns a stained glas window into sheet music & performs a solo." "'What do we live for, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn'(Pride and Prejudice) (picture) Two couples, each living in destitute circumstances, laugh at each other's misfortune. (picture) G'ma & G'pa angrily scowl at young lively children while saying hahaha (picture) Grumpy old people laugh at spritely children's antics. (picture) Old gramie & Grampie extend arms out to buch-toothed infant with 1 curl on top." "'It is a truth universally aknowledged, that a single man in possesion of a good fortune, must be in wanr of a wife'(Pride & Prejudice). (picture) A young man daydreams of a bride. (picture) Bob wants to go to Vietnam because the woman have no hands and have chicken feet. (picture) A young man sails a paper sail boat across a pond, which is discovered by a young woman, promting her knee to break and she grows chicken feet." Here's some funny quotes from some because we couldn't have words in the pictures: "Clown man sweats all the facial features off his face so a sign swears at him" "raggedy Anne does her fraction division math without numbers" "Super Vampire cat, clad only in a shirt, spews profanity as he flies thru the night sky" Lovely huh?
