I haven't been very artistic or creative lately, in fact for the past few years. It's hard really focusing all of my energy on doing one project, especially when my head is so cluttered with other thoughts. I just wanted to make a minor update to the devious world, both because I think you all should know, and also if you could offer any extra advice...

In 10 days, I'll be leaving for Japan. I'm going to be studying abroad there for three months, and then afterwards, I hope to travel a bit more, but we'll see if I can even afford that. I'm going to be in Mitaka, Tokyo. I'm going to be attending the International Christian University. If anyone is in Japan, Tokyo, Mitaka, or ICU, please do contact me just for letting me know anything I should probably know. I've done my research, I'm starting to pack, and everything is all set. Now it's time for me to actually start experiencing. It'd be great to meet some new people, including deviants! In any case, I hope I'll have a great time, and I'm so freaking nervous and excited, it's insane. I still don't believe it, and probably won't until I'm halfway across the Pacific. We'll see how things go. But this just means yet another giant break from the Internet.

Wish me good luck!
