I haven't posted here since...July?

Uh, what has happened since then...

Ingrid came, it was awesome. Tracey came, it was awesome.

I still live in Japan, but on my own now, in a swank apartment in Sangenjaya on the 9th floor.

I no longer hostess, which is nice.

I am a rock singer.

I toured in Beijing.

My band is progressing very nicely.

I hope to be in Fujirock, but since I voiced my desire just now it will probably not happen.

I would like a cat.

I'll be in LA for Golden Week, also NYC for about 4 days, give or take, staying with Ingrid and laying on her a lot.

I would like to go out and play tonight, but none of my girl friends are freaking available. BAH! If I go out with a guy friend I will pick up no tail. ::grouse::

HI INGRID! I AM TALKING TO YOU ON GMAIL. <33333

It's been a while. Usually I just lurk on LJ and catch up on Ingrid, Alison, and Logan, but today I post. Oh yes, how I post.

I live in Tokyo. That is so weird to say, but yes. I live in Tokyo. I've been living in Tokyo for four months starting tomorrow. I came here on a visa to teach English for a year, but quickly quit that after the company turned out to be a pile of lying douchebags.

Thus I ran from Saitama to just above Shinjuku; Ikebukuro. Land of the underground livehouse and yakuza. I'm in love. (Though the first chance I strike it rich I'm moving to the back alleys of Omotesando.)

I am currently the number two hostess at the most upscale international hostess club in Ginza. It pays to be the only American and not a cold Russian/Ukranian snob, although I've made friends with said snobs and they're actually pretty cool to hang out with.

My Japanese is improving and I'm amassing a small collection of Vivienne Westwood attire through the semi-platonic advances that older Japanese men are so fond of.

Anyway, that's all temporary and amusing. The real reason I came to Tokyo is to make it as a rock singer, and by God I'm on my way. I've got three songs recorded with my band, 19 Mirrors, (the bassist of which I live with), and we are trying to get into the August Summer Sonic Festival. Also I have a solo debut with Avex going on the side that might happen at the end of July should my manager get his act together.

So, things are looking up. I have a job, albeit a stressful one, but that's more than I had in LA. Plus I am loving life and having lots of happy mansex with beautiful Japanese men.

I really couldn't ask for a better life.

See you soon, LJ. I'm sure the other shoe will drop.

~Hannah Hypnotic (my stage name. word.)

As I haven't updated in a while, this seems just as good a comeback as any:

I got acrylic cat claws today which are badass. I just forgot and tried to pick my nose.

Fucking OW.

(Stop your judgment on the nose picking. Everyone picks their nose. I don't care who you are. Fucking Queen Elizabeth picks her nose. If you do it in private with a tissue on hand, I could give a shit. You can totally judge me for being a tard though. That's cool.)

Okay. See you in another 6 months.

H

I think...I want...

To be alone and happy. :D

I now live in Tokyo.

Word up.

Just found a random convo from when Ingrid and I were both in college.


EvilHamster27: sorry im talking about shit like kinship and commodification in my paper and getting nowhere...im burnt
SulkyArtemis: I'm talking about gruesome depressing death. Yeay WWI.
EvilHamster27: I'll trade you.
SulkyArtemis: nu.

If this girl outside my office doesn't stop humming off-key, ima cut her.

Iron Man was fantastic, and has renewed my love for Tony Stark.

Bravo, Robert. Bravo.

Ill-advised bout of suilking aside...

So, I start work at ASUCLA on Monday. Christ, textbook returns. ::headdesk:: At least it's 14.80 an hour or whatever. It's a temporary contract until July 15th, but hopefully the guy's back will totally give out and I will get his sweet office. :O

I'm going to be taking the wonderful bus so as not to be slammed by the 3.99 gas prices, which are bullshit.

I am also living back in Santa Clarita at my grandparent's house. I have turned my room in a little sanctuary, and I like it. Though it is a bit disconcerting to look up at 2am and see my grandfather looming in the doorway.

Grandfather: Computers are bad for your eyes. Go to bed.
Hannah: No. Go away.
Grandfather: There will be a reckoning.
Hannah: I don't doubt it.

So, that's kinda fun. Also, I'm running every day, which is ASS. Running sucks ASS. I hate it with all my soul, yet I am resolved to be a size 8. That's not an elusive dream, is it? To go from a 10-14 to an 8? It helps that el grandparentso have sit down dinners and healthy food a lot, so I'm also saving money AND hopefully losing weight. Snap.

Who knows where the wind will take me. Hopefully to Japan.

Oh, and I'm also taking up the violin again, and learning music this time instead of being lazy and playing by ear. This should be fun.

COC will see some more of me, kind of, as well, in the summer. I will be taking some online graphic design classes. Need to get all the skillz I can get! Woo woo.

<3

Watch out, world. Desu.
