My friend lent me a book that has letters written to God by children with Japanese translations to help me practice my Japanese. Here are a few of my favorites:
Dear God, When you wrote the bible you made up all the words and spelled them the way you like. That is great. Most of the time I do it like that, but I am not doing so good. Ron
Dear God, Do Plastic flowers make you mad? I would be if I made the real ones. Lucy
Dear God, I didn't think orange went very good with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tue. That was cooL. Eugene
Mark Kanemura made it all the way to the semi-finals of So You Think You Can Dance. He was one of my sister's choreographers when she was taking dance at Castle. This is one of my favorite routines that he danced while on the show:
Cara Horibe is dancing with Fanny Pak on America's Best Dance Crew. When I was living in LA I went to a restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday and happened to see Cara working as a hostess there. I recognized her because I went to a lot of 24/7 danceforce concerts when my sister was dancing, and Cara was always one of the top dancers. So I didn't think she would know who I was but I went up to her and said "umm... did you go to Castle?" and she said "yeah, aren't you Sharyn's sister?" She knew me! Haha...well, sort of.
Last but certainly not least, Bryan Clay is going to be representing the US at the Olympics in the decathalon! He was actually one of the people that helped convince me to run cross-country in high school. Although the year I decided to run I think he decided to focus on track so he didn't end up doing cross-country.
I told someone yesterday that the longest I've gone without moving since graduating high school is about 2 years. And I think that was the first two years when I was still at home going to WCC. It's been almost 10 years since graduation. The other day while driving past my high school I saw a few banners for reunions and then went into shock when I saw my year up there. Well not really shock, I knew 10 years was coming up, but it was still kind of a weird feeling to see it.
