o_O Yeeeaaahhh... so I've disappeared! But I have a really really really really good excuse, and i'll explain all of that later. I have a lot of stuff to add, which I probably won't get to do by Christmas Break, but we'll see. Heeey and all my comments from people got erased. ;-; Fucking Haloscan...

OMG!!! I haven't blogged in a month. @_@ That's so fucking sad, but I have a perfectly good excuse. I've been sick, spent most of last month at home, which was BOORRRRINNNGG! And I missed a lot of good gossip ^^;. But it was all true so it's not like we were spreading made up shit. I'm in this writing Japanese mood. I'm getting in touch with my roots again. I spent all day finding sites where there's kanji, kanakata, and hanakata since it's hard to type Japanese on an English keyboard. I finally spelt out my name so you can see what it means:

河森さ闇

It says "Kawamori Sayami" and I'll break it down for you:

河: "Kawa" meaning river in Japanese
森: "Mori" meaning forest in Japanese. Notice how the Kanji is shaped like trees? That an easy to memorize that Kanji as forest
さ: "Sa" a Japanese verb meaning small
闇: "Yami meaning darkness

Say my name translated, it sounds fucked up... river forest small darkness. Unless you say "small river in dark forest"? lol I guess that's what my parents were going for when they named me. Plus they had to give me a rare name, there's nobody named Sayami, except 2 that popped up on Google. but you know what, I feel special. I remember when I was in school and when a person shouted "Misaki!" 16 or more heads would turn around to see who's calling them.

I also think that I'm going to add a Japanese tutorial to this site since Jibby pretty much abandoned the idea. XD Oh crap how could I for get to tell you!? I actually updated the site! I added 2 Photoshop tutorials and a PHP tutorial for skinning a site since Ciera and Jackie are having problems. I'm also planning on finally putting up the fonts, I'm working on it people. I felt so great today I just had to come on the computer and update my site, I felt bad.

Also I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to Nancy and Jibby. I know your birthdays are coming up and I won't forget. I also have a new affiliate, welcome Krystal! Check out her blog, it's amazing!

I guess this is goodbye, nothing really interesting happened in my life recently so no life story people.

[Edit] I have pictures people! I wanna show yous!

It's me when I was little! Wasn't I cute! ^.^ I love that kimono, I still have it too.

Great times! This is where I learned most of my English, in English class. By the picture you can probably guess it's an all girls school and it rocked. I miss so many of my friends, I love you guys if you're reading this. ;_;

K, I'm back to blog again and I actually have stuff to talk about. o.o; That hasn't happened in a while. ^^; School started yesterday (monday, the 10th). I was sooooo tired, I was like a fucking zombie. It was the first I never had an ounce of hyperness in me. @_@ I also was suffering from Jet Lag (more about jet lag), a condition when you travel outside of your timezone and your internal body clock becomes out of sync. ;_; Since many people traveled out of the country during break, half the Sophomore class is suffering from it. lol Ming, Vito, Matt, Jackie, Nancy, Kilee. We're normally the loud ones and instead we get poked with meter sticks by our teachers trying to wake us up. -_-'

Oh Oh! Speaking of the Sophomore class, I'm number 9 out of 198 students!! I only went to my guidance counselor to get my new schedule and she told me. And my parents said my grades were slipping... Some Isreali kid named Troy is #1, he even got a perfect score on his PSAT!! I got a 1360, but that's still good! I beat many of my friends, mwhahaha in your face! And I'm younger than all of you. Until I finally do something useful instead of lay on the couch, maybe I could be dictator of the world! Dictator sounds harsh, tyrant sounds better. XD OMFG I don't have Careers anymore!! I'm so happy I don't have to see my teacher's face anymore, that class was a total waste of my time. If for some reason I had to take it over again, I would be so pissed. But now I have Health. ^o^ With my volleyball coach, so she's nice! The bad part about my schedule change is that I have Calculus AB now. @_@ My parents think math is the best thing in the world so I have to take math to the highest level. There better not be anything higher than calculus, who created this kind of math anyway? No one uses it unless their in engineering.

I had to go to the doctors yesterday and it turns out that I do have a brai tumour. ;_; I knew something was wrong, I was just ignoring it, which I should of never done because now it kind of made things worse. The doctors say the best thing to do is take my medications and get it removed as soon as possible since they think it stopped. Waaa I don't want them to mess with my brain, what if I get stupid. ^^' I had to drop basketball and any other after school activity which includes my kendo and kyudo class, and my job at my parents' restruant. Now they can't be cheap and actually have to hire someone. XD All because I've gotten weaker and developed anemia. wtf! Now I'm really mad, I was practically fine a few years ago, why does this have to happen. Now I can barely do anything except do the thing I do best, be a lazy ass and watch TV.

Hey! And while I was in Japan, I see the 4th Inuyasha movie and it was awesome. If you guys like the whole Kagome, Inuyasha, Kikyou triangle then you'll love it. I also went manga shopping and got some that aren't even released in the US yet, then I forgot them in my damn room!!! So I can't even get to show you or tell you about it. ;_; I can't even remember the titles. Stupid me. I'll get someone to mail it to me I guess. Well, I better go, I have Calculus homework to do, goody...

Wow I haven't updated in a while, I've been on vacation so I didn't really get the chance. ^^; To all you guys i promised presents I got you something and no Jackie I won't tell you what it is. XP I have some pictures, but I have to scan them so I have to wait until I get home. You know how they always say how you should relax on vacations? That never happens doesn't it. There's always a load of stuff to do. It was cool to come back here in be in my old bedroom again. ^o^ But of course we had to visit family so I probably only stayed in Toyko for 3 days total. Then we went to Italy to see my other family. A lot of people ask me the question "Hey Sayami, if yur father is Italian, why is your last name Japanese?" Well, my grandfather is Japanese that's why, you guys are smart enough to figure it out. Like Namie Amuro, he name is Japanese but she's still half Italian people. 0_o anyway going back on the topic...so we visited a lot of people and I barely got to enjoy my 2 weeks off!! o.o I guess when I go home I'll sleep all day and keep to myself.

On New Years we just watched the fireworks but Eri wanted to set some off so my parents had to buy some. I set off one and it kinda flew towards my cousin ^^; so I wasn't allowed to set off anymore. So I'm getting ready to go home today, I think my mom is done packing so I should get ready to come off the computer now. The part that sucks about coming here is the plane ride, it's about 20 hours or more I'm going to be traveling. And when I get home it's going to be 14 hours behind what it is now. I had to explain to my brother that we aren't time traveling, it's just a different time zone. >.< Sorry I didn't have anything interesting to talk about, nothing good didn't really happen and besides I'm still getting the hang of this whole blogging thing. ^^;

AHH! I haven't updated in so long, sorry you guys. There's so much going on and I've been busy. Yesterday was our last basketball game before break and we killed American Heritage. They had 11 points and we had like 52 XD. They suck at sports, they were like that with volleyball too, and I'm on the JV team. Friday was the start of midterms for us and the schedule goes in this order: Friday (Periods 7 & 6), Monday (Periods 5 & 4), Tuesday (Periods 3 & 2), and Wednesday (Period 1). We get out early at 11:35 except on Wednesday, then we get out at 9:30 then Winter Break starts! YES! I'm going over to Japan to visit some family and hopefully I'll get to see the new Inuyasha movie. ^^

I'm going to make a holiday presant for everyone, so look out for that and since I'll have extra time during break I'm going to catch up on putting up tutorials and more content to this site. Next Monday after school I have to go to the dotors, I'm not really looking forward to that since I hate hospitals. I haven't been feeling all that great lately, I keep having this mind-spliting headaches, and my doctor made it worse by saying that it could possibly be a tumour and that I should go and get a CAT scan. I'm just praying that he doesn't know what he's talking about and that it'll be nothing. Right now I'm so lonely. ;_; Jessica, Matt, and Casey all went to the movies without me. >.< Ming and Nancy are in Hong Kong, Jackie is in Utah, Edwin is ... o_0 you don't know what he's doing, and Angela went to a anime convention. So, I'm stuck here in my house entertaining myself by writing in this blog. Well, I'm going to go and actually do something. Lauren wants help on making a layout so I guess I finally have something worthwhile to do. Sayonara minna-san.

I was in such a good mood this weekend, until Sunday. Around 7 o'clock a girl who went to my school, Tiffany Larson, died in a car crash yesterday. The spooky thing was that I saw her Christmas shopping with her boyfriend Sunday and the next thing I know she's dead. The accident wasn't their fault, someone was speeding and crashed into them. But it could of been saved only if she wore her seatbelt. Let this be a lesson to you kids, always wear your seatbeat! lol and this is coming from someone who can't even drive. It affects me a lot because she was the first person I met when I moved here. Everyone was younger than everyone else, so I was super nervous. (My school automatically made me skip a year because we learn faster in Japan. XD) Even though we have nothing in common, we were good friends. She's one of those people who always has to have those Fendi and Louis Vuitton purses and the Baby Phat clothing. o_O Where as I don't give a damn what I'm wearing, as long as I'm not naked and I'm comfortable. Now I realize how fragile life is and you can wake up one day not knowing that will be your last day to live. It's scary. So, today everyone was crying, well most people. But majority of the people crying didn't even know her well. o.o;; Just because she was "popular" and all.

*sigh* So, on Saturday Jackie, Nancy, Ming, and I went to Chinatown in Boston. Nancy and Ming had to drop off something to their grandmother, Jackie and I just tagged along. XD We pretty much spent our whole day there, from around 12pm to 7pm. The others went to some party, but I didn't feel like going, sp I spent the rest of my night on my computer AIMing people. ^o^ Okay, back to Chinatown. ^^; We ate lunch at this dim-sum place and Jackie and Ming stalked up on their manga supply. o.o Many people ask me why I'm not as obsessed with anime and manga and I'm Japanese. Well, when you're in Japan, you have access to this stuff ALL THE TIME so you don't really think about it much. Yeah, we're fans, it's almost apart of our culture, but not to the point where you can't live without it. >>; It's like living on the beach, I'm sure a normal working person wouldn't have the time to swim in the beach everyday.

Also while we were there, a lot of people were Christmas shopping. That's one thing I like about Boston, there's A LOT of places to shop. You can't go there without coming back with something. I felt so felt out though since I don't celebrate Christmas. ;_; I guess I'm done for now, I have basketball practice. =P And I took some pictures of the strangest things. ^^ That's why people don't trust me with cameras, because I waste film. Luckily, this was a digital camera!

It's Ming riding the train into Chinatown. Ha! What a loser. XP

Lookie at the subway sign, it's in Chinese. o.o Be fasinated...

However, right before that, we passed by the Boston Common and saw an anti-homosexuality rally by some fundamentalist Christians. It was pretty empowering but very harsh and perhaps a bit too legalistic I'd say. Here is a pic of a few signs I saw haha:
