Hi! It’s me! Lily!!!
AI IS ON HER WAY TO NARITA!!!!
Yaaaaayyyy!!!!!!
She’ll be taking off in a few hours!!!!
I’ll be going to Houston in the morning!!!
And it’s COLD!!!!!
BRRRR!!!!!
I told Ai to bring a coat because she’ll need it!!!
She’s so excited!!!
Well, so am I!!!
She’s… one of my actual blood relatives!!! My cousin!!! I don’t have too many of those. Well, more than I did a year ago, I guess. Speaking of which, I’ve been talking to my birth father, I’m going to go out to LA for spring break for a week or two!!! I… well, I was going to say I guess I owe him that much, but I don’t. I don’t owe him anything. in fact.. he owes me!!! He owes me everything a father owes his daughter!!! But… that ship’s sailed. I’m seventeen now. Good luck collecting. But.. at least maybe I have a little more family than I thought.
I hear Hiroshi is really jealous! But maybe he can come next year!!! I bet he and David would get along.
Well, I should sleep, because Ai arrives at around 2 PM tomorrow!!!
Katie wants to meet Ai too. Actually, Katie’s kind of… she’s a bit old to be “one of the girls”, girl-piles with a college student would be awkward, but she needs a sister. I think I wouldn’t mind a big sister. Actually, everyone wants to meet Ai. My friends have never met a real Japanese girl before! Crystal asked if she had a high pitched giggle and long strangely colored hair.
I told her she’s just a normal Japanese girl. Like me, but twice as much. Hahah!!!
Okay. Sleep.
