briefly

I've managed to move into my new place in Utsunomiya, but it was with a HUGE deal of difficulty. Because my life is full of special and bullshit. And I won't get into details, because that would take about 178 pages of bitchery, but let's just say I almost ended up with all my shit tossed onto the street. But through the power of super nice people (link because it's that same person) putting themselves out for me even though they totally didn't have to, I got moved.

Then slept on the floor for two days, because no bedding.

And now I'm in Tokyo for a while, for new job training. They've put me up in a tiny, dirty little guest house, where the other patrons come in and out at all hours of the night. Somehow, I've learned to sleep through it. And while working in downtown Shinjuku makes me go through this shit twice a day, it's also pretty exciting.

The training will be for another week yet, and today I discovered I was picked as one of the two teachers who will be teaching a brand new class the school is offering this year. (I say "picked" like I'm awesome or something, but actually it was probably a really random selection. It's not like they know anything about me as a teacher, since I haven't even started with them yet. They just needed two native teachers to be "guinea pigs" for this new thing, and... my life is full of special.) So next week I have to go through some extra training.

And, yes, I get paid for all this time. ~FTW~

Anyway. I'll talk more about the training later, probably, but really do want to keep this post brief.


Because the real most important part is~~~~~ this!
Which I actually did a few weeks ago, but my internet was being stupid at the time and wouldn't let me upload. Then I almost forgot about it.

But there. Enjoy. ;P

Okay, first, that train ride is basically what my visits back home look like all the time, so I feel your pain. I feel it so much. ;_; It's one of the reasons why I don't want to work in China, because...people, so much people. And no one seem to have a concept of personal space, so everyone's just packed like sardines and...yeah, I've had enough of that. /moaning

Second, yay, payment! Payment is good! :D

Third, Dollies! Um, Antonio dear, I love you and all, but can you be more patronizing? Really? "I'm doing this for your own good"? Are we really using that line? Günter might have been a bit hasty about locking you out of his life, but "I'm doing this to keep you safe" is...no. Just no, sweetie, you need to man up and realize if you want a healthy relationship, you're gonna need to start trusting Günter to make the right decisions for himself.

And Gü, sweetie, honey, this isn't just about your trust in 'Toni is it? It's about his trust in you. You need to make that a little clearer to him. Trust is a two-way street and all that, and between you and me, I think 'Toni needs a little help in brushing up on his interpersonal skills (aka he has none and you still love him despite said flaw and you know it). You need to talk to him, not lecture.

(I think you should put up season summaries so that we can keep the plot straight. Things are getting really complicated and there's a lot of subplots to keep track. Not that you have to or anything. Just saying that as your readership, I would greatly appreciate the aid. *hoping I don't sound like an entitled bitch*)

It's so true that Antonio has no interpersonal skills. I think when growing up, aside from tutors, trainers, and servants, he spent most of his time alone. Everything he knows about people comes from books. It's kind of sad, when you think about it.

And I've been meaning to do season summaries. .>_> I used to make them, but stopped for some reason. Definitely, I will try to get around to it again.
Though to be fair, I don't find the plot complicated at all. =P
