Papa's Girl


The cherry blossoms are budding and already starting to bloom in some places. these are some pics from the other day.

I am becoming an old lady...

I have head aches, back aches, knee pains, i swear i have a tumor in my neck, and i'm getting artheritis. The sad truth that i am finally realising, is that i'm
growing old. And i had wished that i would get younger with age.
I hate to sound like one of those people that go around and say that they're growing olkd and blah blah blah, i'm just acheing all over. i need to see a doctor.

Harley Davidson

yeterday dad had a show in Yokohama, and it was this Harley Davidson thing. the firt stage went really well but it started raining on the second stage. i got soked and caught a cold. but i thought it was really fun, had a blat and ate too many candies. i swear i'll be getting cavitie ooner or later.
oh ye, i had a very wonderful experience of going to China town. it is a very awsome place in Yokohama that has tons of Chinese people and lots and lots of food and it was an adventure i will never forget.
Yokohama i such a nice city. i wish i could live there.

Taiko Lessons

We are fainally starting to learn Bon-Daiko. For all of you who don't know what that is, that's the kinda of style of taiko that they use at bonodori season. it's supper cool. if ya'll come to inokashira in late July, you'll see me and my peers doing the taiko at the matsuris. very fun.

The International Get-Together

Yesterday we went to this International Get-Together thing. It wasn't as good as it was before, cuz once dad and guys sang a few songs, they rushed off to Osaka. But i like the church guys, they werre such dorks! ask amanda if you must!
I loved the Taiko though, that was the best. they're soo cool. one day, i'll be like them.

Dancing again

Yes ladies and gentlemen, me, Mary Jane Johnson will be taking to dancing again. well actually, i've always liked dancing..i'm just not very good at it.
Anyways, there is going to be a final Concert for Heart to Heart on the 30th,and unfortunatly, i'm part of the program. Since dancing is the one of the few things that i like doing, they want me and amanda and Joey and Melinda and Keren to get on stage and do a little jig to Lifeblood and Soul Song. we're almost done with it and i'm feeling very happy. all thanks to Alisa, God, without her where would we be??
i Love dancing!

Shakespeare's in Love

We wached Shakespeare in Love the other day. it was soo sweet! i really liked it. And i really like Joseph Fiennes,he is very cool! Gwenth Poltrow is not so good looking, but is a good actress.
all that to say, i really like Sakespeare in Love!

Yakata Boat

Yesterday we went on this Yakata Boat thing. i really don't know how to explain it, but we ate and drank and ate and drank alot! if you really must know more about it, go to Niki's blog and she'll tell you EVERYTHING there is to know about yesterday.
P.S. Mom just got a digital camera(that she's very proud of) so hopefully, i'll have more pictures coming:D

Gene.

Well everyone, Gene left the other day, yes, my very sweet, talk time, pats on the shoulder, and every thing. i shall surely miss him. it's like a whole block of the house taken out. i'll really miss "fun" school now that he's gone. sniff
