My dream car!

This is my dream car; It's a Tesla Model S. It is a fully electric car that car that can travel great distances on a single charge. It's also very sleek looking and the interior is something out of a James Bond movie! Many people find it funny that my dream car is an electric car. I guess people expected a Lamborghini.
What's your dream car?

My Birthday Weekend
Last weekend was my birthday! I turned 23 years old.
It was a really fun weekend, I was lucky enough to spend it with lots of people I care about.
We ate sushi at hamazushi and then sang karaoke, I had so much fun. I love singing karaoke here in Japan! In Canada karaoke is very different, most places that have karaoke don't offer private rooms, so you have to get on stage and sing in front of lots of strangers if you want to sing. It's a little embarrassing.
I was happy to be able to spend my birthday surrounded by lots of friends and people who care about me. I feel very lucky.
It was a very special birthday!

Keeping in touch
How do you stay in contact with people? Do you give them a call every once in a while? Maybe send an occasional email? Or do you send them a message through Facebook, or maybe even face time with Line or Skype? Today, there are so many ways you can talk to a person, so there is no reason not to say anything, right?
Well, I for one am awful at trying to stay in touch with people. Although it is difficult to talk to someone via Skype or other instant messenger on the other side of the world (due to the time difference), it is still perfectly reasonable to leave a message for them to respond to. And yet I don't. Sometimes I don't respond to a message left for me for a few days, maybe even a few weeks. Sometimes I don't respond to a message at all. And it could be anyone who tries to contact me. My best friend, a former classmate, even my own mother. I don't know why I am like that, and I don't really like that I am like that. Of course I can change that about myself, but "old habits die hard", you know?
I wonder if anyone else has the same issue? I'm sure there are some people you will respond to faster than others, but is there anyone who won't respond to everyone equally? I can't be the only one.
