i've been struck by the flu bug that's going around menacing everyone. i've not been sick very often this year, and when i do fall sick it gets very bad. i feel a little faint and can't eat anything the whole day. i also sleep a lot.

i leave for japan tomorrow for one week where i will ideally be spending my time consuming such copious amounts of kobe beef that i'll come back at the top of PETA's most wanted list.

to think i ever considered becoming vegetarian is unbelievable.

but of course there's that whole thing about free radicals and things. so ...

okay, life is really complicated right now. and i try not to mean this in a teen angst, 'my life sucks' kind of way but life really is very tiring and complicated now. i need this holiday that i'm getting. i think i'll be completely uncontactable in Japan because of how the phone systems work, i don't know how i'm going to live like that but it's good, i need the break. i need to recharge.

bea's leaving next saturday. let's observe a moment of silence, please. i don't really know how i'm going to live with one of my best friends not around. the person who's been a constant in my life for the past two years through everything, especially when njc sucked - whisked away to melbourne forever. i'm going to be taken off life support. well, i guess we're not in njc anymore. but still. going to miss bea a lot.
