Hi, Howdy, Yaaaar, and What's Up?

Yeah so I've been spearing this whole "let's try and see what's up in the community and get to know peope" thing andnhave been sticking to the whole "we all refer to ourselves as Cory"

But for once Cory just keeps stepping back and letting me. Girl's been tired lately and not really caring. So thought I'd come in more personal.

Still weird using first person to refer to myself. Any. How. None of the facts about me refer to real life, blah, blah..


Name's Journey, I just go with teen as age, give or take 10 years at times. World traveler, photographer, and writer. Probably am the reason Cory's not lived in her home country for years. I like to mess around with accents and writing styles except to be read more easily. Poor as dirt in my reality but also got some cool abilities to project myself as forms of transportation.

Uh, so I like nature things and photography. Love talking travel and about boats, airplanes, and everything else that moves. Sometimes I'm in a big pirate kick. Pirates are awesome.

Annnd... I don't know. It's weird to talk and I Feel like I'm stretching every way just to try to connect to someone.

After this post not gonna introduce anyone else unless they want to. Nate's usually pretty against this stuff and the others are quiet usually. But there are spurts always so we'll see.

Let's see if this produces any results.

Rainy Day Amusements

So, starting about June 1st up until about October 1st, I typically do not leave without an umbrella to go anywhere. Because I don't care with the weather forecast says, there's always a good chance of rain.

Today about an hour before it started thundering, I told the co-teacher it was going to rain. Co-teacher insisted it was not. Forecast said not. An hour later---I dismissed my last class early. "You guys hurry and get to where you are getting before it starts pouring." But, teacher, the forecast said no rain! Yeah, uh-huh. Ya'll hang around, I'm hurrying off. It was only a couple of minutes early, and at this point my co-teacher was at least in agreement with me.

I mean, I could see the down-pour that was happening in the distant. By the time I'd finished my 8 minute walk to the subway, it was sprinkling. Where I got off, the thunder and lightning was together. The sort of "Right above us" rain that makes it absolutely impossible to be dry.

And get this, hilarious, people WITHOUT UMBRELLAS are running down the pouring down rain with their hand over their heads as if it's actually going to keep their head dry. Now, one was more over their eyes, and that I get. My favorite was the girl USING HER CELL PHONE to cover her head.

I hurried into a restaurant that's near my subway stop. A real good Korean place that sort of caters to the foreigner presence. A little more expensive than I like to buy, but always good food. The grandparents that own the place were happy to have a customer that was not phoning take out (watching that poor grandfather get up the courage to go out was sad), and they kept me well stocked with extra kimchi until the rain died down well enough to go out.

I loved seeing all the soaked people walking down the sidewalks on the way home. Rain is pretty awesome. Given I was going home, if I hadn't had devices or tennis shoes, I might have considered just walking without the umbrella. But some things gotta stay dry.

Tennis shoes got wet anyway.

Hope you found some amusement in your day!
