Storytime with Momes

This episode. Sheeeeesh! It was chaotic...I edited it forever! And it was still chaotic!! The ADHD was definitely in control that day! Hopefully you all still like it! This was from a trip to Unzen and Shimabara, Nagasaki, Japan in 2017 with one of my besties, Yuka, and her family.

I hope you enjoy this episode and don't find it too..."extra." There will also be a Youtube video and a blog post that accompany this episode, so if you want bonus content, check the links below!~

Hello Kiddos!

This episode is a hot mess. I struggle with words and it has a slight chaotic energy. But like I said, multiple times in this episode, "It is what it is."

We end up with a chipmunk in our dryer and it is chaos. That is the only way I can describe the episode.

Hi!~

So remember when I said I was better from my hives?? I was not...May 9th can't get here soon enough! I need that allergist!! Anywho!! This is just another chaotic day in my life! This episode takes place the day after the "I Accidentally Zali'd" episode!

Not much else to say...My toenail did get split, it still is growing out. I still have two stubborn splinters in my hand...What a day.

For more Momes content:

A couple of things that I derped on in this Daily Derp.

1. The reason I mentioned the "Chipmunk episode" is because that one was supposed to come out before this one...But as you can see, it did not. That will make more sense when I post that episode in a couple of days.

2. The reason I mentioned the oat milk was because when Zali tried my drink, both of us derped and completely forgot that Zali is allergic to oats...She messaged me when she got home that night and was like, "I'm not sick or anything...but your drink had oat milk in it and we are both stupid."

Thank you all for your patience! I have really been struggling with the hives this year. I had them twice before this episode happened and then twice after this happened...that is five times already this year. It has been super swell! But yeah, I try to keep everyone updated via my twitter, so if you aren't following that, please do so you can stay up to date with whether or not there will be an episode.

My WIX blog is currently down, but I am working on transferring it all over to Blogger. It's just going to take a while. I also started a Patreon page, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that yet...Suggestions are always welcome, lol

Anywho~ If you want more Momes time, here are some fun links for ya!:

Hey kiddos!

This episode was a pain to edit. The ADHD was STRONG that day and I rambled a LOT! BUT! That being said, That day in 2011 was a rough day, but the sushi definitely made up for it! I don't remember a lot of specifics...I'm pretty sure Michelle and I didn't have that conversation exactly like that on the metro...but it was close enough and I definitely remember that sushi. You know it was good if you can still remember how it tastes 12 years later~

I hope you enjoyed hanging out with me today!

Here are all the links you need to see the things I mentioned:

In this episode, I reminisce about that one time I got lost in Edinburgh on the way to Fife in Scotland. I really miss Scotland and felt like this would be a good time to share this story! In this story I go to visit my friend and his wife in Fife, Scotland and get very lost trying to find a bus...but thanks to the helpful people of Edinburgh, I was able to get to my destination and have the time of my life!!

*MacDuff Castle, East Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. It is literally a ruin. I loved it!~

This episode was pure chaos. I recorded it last June and due to health reasons, I was not able to post anything until now. I was going to re-record it, but MEH! Here you go!

Hey! I got a colonoscopy and endoscopy earlier this month (October) and I had a wild time! My hospital care team was amazing and I made some interesting memories throughout the day!

TW for needles and procedures. cancer chats and biopsies, hospitals (pretty much anything medical)

The day was pure chaos.

CW for trauma and mental health

In 2005 I spent a year in Japan and as a part of the program, I was required to attend cultural events at a community center. My first ever event happened to be Tanabata or The Star Festival and it didn't really go as well as I had hoped. Mostly it is me complaining about my hair...but that's ok! It's funny! I think? Pretty much, this was the event that started a pattern of mental abuse in Japan.

If you want more stories or information about that, please let me know! I'm not afraid to talk about it and I love sharing my story! 

Sites Mentioned:

A lot of you know Zali from her Twitch Channel that I guest on frequently! We have shared bits and pieces of our friendship stories, but we have never told the story of our origins!

Thank you for voting on my Twitter for this story! I really hope you are all excited to hear how Zali and I met and how we ended up in Narnia...accidentally.

CW for anxiety!

I Get Permanently Banned from Math on the First Day of School:
I am a new student in Japan in 2005 and on the first day of school I get banned from my math class. This story still haunts me to this day. Like I mentioned, I can still remember what the room looked like and how it smelled...how sweaty my hands got...It was traumatizing...but in retrospect it is hilarious. I still can't believe that happened! Also, why did no one tell him that I wouldn't have done the homework and why did no one give me the text books beforehand so I could have done it?! I had a MONTH to possibly do it before school started...I feel like the school and the exchange program representative let me down. Boy, do I have some stories about her!!

I Failed English:

It's really hard to "learn" another language in another language...Especially if they only speak their language and you have no idea what is going on. (also, my example story was not too far off from one of the stories we read? Kind of? ...it was really weird...)

European Tour 2011 returns this time in Paris, France. We visit Le Grande Mosquée de Paris and try baklava and mint tea for the first time ever! Naturally, as we can not do anything with out something going weird, this day trip to the Mosque ended up being really chaotic. And we all felt really stupid in the end. So it turned out to be good comedy! I literally can still see their faces!

If you want to see what I saw, go ahead and check out the blog post that corresponds with this episode! You can see photos from my trip plus updated information on what I *actually* saw. It's always fun to see if I remembered things correctly!

I will also have my twitter linked so you can follow and vote for the next episode topics!

Rate, review and follow!~

Until next time!~

Uh. Yeah. The title is weird because this was a weird day! In 2013 I had the opportunity to participate in the Kakehashi Project in Tokyo and Chiba, Japan. I got to experience a lot of cool cultural activities like traditional dance, museums, onsen, squatty potties and embarrassing myself in front of Kensaku Morita, the Governor of Chiba Prefecture and a famous actor/singer. I also recant the long and painful process of waiting. So trigger warning for anxiety, if you are sensitive about hearing people talk about anxiety and failure.

I like to tell these stories as I remember them, but I definitely do some research afterwards and amend my mistakes on my blog, (I totally misremembered what the Governor looked like...) so if you would like to learn more about keigo, squatty potties, the former Governor of Chiba and the Umihotaru, while also being able to see pictures from my trip, please feel free to pop over and browse the corresponding blog post! It's just as sarcastic as the podcast!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time!~

Hello! Long time no...Listen! I missed all of you! In this episode I talk about how I was sick for most of my time in Europe, how I don't remember much of my week in Ireland...and how my return flights home became a chaotic hot mess. I am still a little bit bitter about the flight home, but this is one of my favorite Europe stories to tell.

(also the word I was looking for was *exhibit* not *display*)

3. What Are you Doing here, Miranda?

Yeah...you read the title right...I'm afraid of Snow White. Listen to find out why this Disney Sweetheart gives me nightmares. And it's totally not for the reasons you think...
Ugh....

So, living in a tropical climate, you see a lot of tropical sized insects...and arachnids...Oof. In this episode, I tell some chaotic stories about the bugs I met in Japan!

1 Huge spiders behind pictures

2 Cockroaches get the zoomies

3 PEEK-A-BOO

4 Attack of the Crocs

Yeah, if you don't like bugs...proceed with caution. But otherwise these are just entertaining stories featuring Japanese bugs!

Until next time!~

This episode is full of the warm fuzzies! I was feeling really happy and wanted to share some heart warming content with you this week! This week's adventure takes place at Disney World! It features a small child who thought I was Tinkerbelle and I became her best friend for about an hour and a half? And a story about two older ladies who ended up being from Wisconsin and were looking for a certain pair of flammable pajamas for a small child.

I hope you feel the positive vibes and I hope it also gives you the warm fuzzies! I had so much fun telling these stories! I hope you enjoy them!! There is more Disney content to come!! I have A TON of stories!!

Until next time!~

So it's Mother's Day today in the US (5/8/2022) and to celebrate the day and the chaos, I have three short stories dedicated to my mommy dearest!

1) She Thinks I'm a Wizard

2) Bubbles Are Dangerous

3) Birbs

If you aren't able to spend Mother's Day with them for whatever reason, reminisce on the good times and try to keep your heart light. And for those who might have bad blood with theirs, remember that sometimes the family we choose is more important and 10x better than the one we are given. It sucks, but it happens. Just know that you are loved and they are missing out!

In 2005 I studied in Japan for a year as an exchange student. I didn't speak any Japanese but I did watch a fair bit of TV. I found out that ADHD verbal stims are a thing and they can cause chaos when you randomly quote a commercial and it's the most Japanese you have spoken in five months. I also go on a three and a half hour deep dive into the internet to find out what the commercial actually was, who the singer was and WHY DID IT ALMOST KILL MY FRIEND?!

Listen as I misremember everything, badly explain things and find things funny that probably are not as funny as I think they are.

Check out my blog for pictures of Arcades, Shoutengai, the infamous commercial for REVE21, Akiko Wada and a few other bits an bobs for context! I want everyone to see the chaos!

Daily Derps are shorts where I talk about something dumb that happened to me. In this derp, I'm alerted by my mom to save some baby Jumping Spiders from the mailbox turned out to be trickier than I had anticipated. And taking pictures of them? Near impossible!! But the mail lady just went up the street and the stakes are increased. Will I save the spoodlings? Will I actually get a decent picture of them to post on the internet? Will I get all of this done before the mail arrives?! Listen to find out!

TW for spiders. It should be obvious, but...just in case...I will be talking about spiders. A lot.

Yeah...I know...This is my first full episode and I'm already having misadventures. In this episode, I talk about how I got excited to start a podcast...attempted to start said podcast...and then nothing worked out and chaos! Also denial?! Wow. What a journey. Listen to find out what happened!

Twitter: 

Just a bit about what we will be talking about here on this podcast! Traveling, misadventures, nature, chaos, and hopefully comedy (at my expense, naturally)! I hope this gets you excited about future episodes!
