I told my mom about leaving school, looking for an office job, and getting TESOL certified. She was supportive. I was kind of surprised.
I'm starting an online TESOL program soon, I think. I have the choice to do a paced program or to do one that would go at my own speed, so now I'm deciding between those two options. Everything would be online...

I'm going to get TESOL certified. I think it will be OK for me to do the course online, since I already have so much teaching experience. With the certification, there are more jobs I'll be qualified for in New York, and I'll have the option of going abroad. To Japan?

There are some exciting things happening in your life. It's great to see that you're living life to the fullest.
He said he's afraid and seriously considering leaving Japan...
I wish I knew what was going to happen from this point. I wish I knew the right thing to say or do. I'm trying.

is a difficult situation really very hard
wsoxfan:
Just let him know that you're here for him. That will mean so much to him, believe me.
It must be the season to reestablish communicating with exes.
The first I started talking to again is G--, after only a period of a few months, but still, that was an accomplishment considering we're at the same dojang. This one could lead to trouble if I'm not careful.
The second is H--, after 2 years. He's Japanese, so I reached out to him to...

I swear it happens every spring.
It is like the warm weather wakes up their libido and they think back to all the girls in their lives and reach out to them or something.

Sounds like you need a scorecard with all the guys you're dealing with, lol.
It's good that you're reconnecting with people.

Pretty freaked out about the quake in Japan. One of my friends doesn't know yet whether she lost her house, but as far as I know my Japanese friends and their families are all safe.

Glad to hear about your Japanese friends and their families. The devastation is horrible enough without there being a personal component for you.

I'm very happy to hear that the people you care about from Japan are safe
I feel bad about asking people to leave me alone, but, seriously, there are times I want to be left alone. There's nothing unhealthy about it. Time to oneself, time spent doing fuck all, time spent away from other people and their problems, is important.

You shouldn't ever feel bad about it.
I'm extremely protective about my alone time. I actually book evenings etc. where I just get to spend time by myself. When I start seeing someone, I make it very clear up front that I need a lot of alone time. If they don't like it? Too bad.
It's the only way to have any semblance of sanity.

No need to justify your feelings to anyone.
While I'm enjoying talking to my ex again, I'm reminded of why we didn't work out as a couple.
But damn, he's good looking.
But the guy I've been seeing lately is much better for me.

You look adorable when you were a little girl. You're just as adorable now.
I've got a job interview... with my ex-boyfriend. This will be interesting.
No one at the company knows we know each other, and he assures me he's leaving soon and we won't be working together. But still, interesting.

You can also karate chop him if he gets out of line. But if his first question is "Honey, where did I go wrong?" and starts sobbing, then just hand him a tissue, tell him to get a life, and then get out (ha ha).
But if this is a job you really want, I hope you get it and that things will be o.k. considering.

Sounds promising. Best of luck.
Ahem. Let's just say that I was very happy with my date the other night.
I also had a pretty fun interaction at a bar, which never happens to me, because I rarely go to bars, because I don't drink much and I tend to dislike the typical bar atmosphere. But I met this South Korean guy who had done his required military training and...

They make awesome roomies. They are clean and indipendent.

I'm glad you're having such nice experiences these days. You deserve them.
The reason Kathy gave me for cancelling only made a little sense. It had to do with the way I identify in the lifestyle and what she needed from me if we got together. It's complicated, but it didn't make much sense since I knew what she wanted in our anticipated roleplay and was sure I could give it to her.
I know this is vague, but let's just say her reason for cancelling sounded pretty lame.

Good luck. I can relate to the sex thing. An opportunity may present itself tonight.
Plans for an eventual new, more stable job are coming along. I think I'll dedicate this summer, or part of it, to getting TESOL certified. Although I've been teaching at a school for non-native speakers, I'm actually not certified. Once I am, I'll have a lot more job opportunities, here and abroad.
