Mmmmmmm that accent!

So Seriously Cute was a linguist at university. Which meant that I vaguely knew some of what he was talking about, enough to get by in any case. MMmmmmm spent a delicious lunchtime yesterday at the international school listening to a verrrrrrry dreamy french accent. Oh that boy is seriously seriously cute. Did you know … Read More


SUMO!!!!!!

It is soooooo fine! I mean really really fine. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it half as much as I did. My one experience with wrestling was being forced to watch WWF as it was then by some boys at primary school; it kind of biased me after that. So I went to the sumo … Read More

So this Saturday night I climbed Fuji

I could hear it saying ‘nya-nya-nyaa-nya-nya I`m taller than you-ou`, so on Saturday I was taller than Fuji, because I was on top of Fuji (thats my logic anyway). It was a really nice climb…um well I actually enjoyed it. There were seven … Read More
