Japan Blog 26 (October 26, 2008) I need to rant

Like the title says, I need to go on a rant. Really badly.


I'm like having a no-guys-in-my-life relasp. I didn't think that no guys in my life would actually be THIS bad. Like sure, before I even came here I wasn't too fond of the idea of going to an all girls school but I knew I would survive and that it wouldn't be as bad as I thought it would be. Look at me now, I did survive and I'm having a blast there. That was until today. Relasp. I'm having a relasp. Cody, Wit, Bruce, every guy I knew back in America, I MISS YOU! It's not the same without them. There is seriously a empty space in me. I don't know why all of a sudden two days ago this really started to bother me, too. Friday I had to say something to Mizuki and Sayaka and Ai. Today I went to Seisho High School with Ayami for that school festival and so many amazing guys were there I could have fainted. (By the way, I think Otoo-san was a little scared about me going on a train myself so he just drove me to Minami Station [the station I was to meet Ayami at] instead and then Ayami and her mom drove me home, so I survived ^_^).


It's bad. And then I went to supper with Otoo-san and his friend and they were talking about Ai and I swore I heard the word "kareshii" (boyfriend) come out of his mouth. His friend's daughter was with us and both our heads turned at this with a "eh?" (that sound effect here in Japan means 'what?'). When did this happen? So, that means when I was talking to Ai about my guy issue on Friday, did she have a kareshii then? So then when she returned home on Saturday (technically yesterday 'cause it's after midnight right now) I was determined to ask her about it, see if I was hearing things. She was in her room basically all night and right when I was going to give up and go to sleep she came walking out in the living room, it was like 11:10 pm. I asked and she gave an embarrassed smile. I KNEW IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO NOT HAVE A BOYFRIEND! Sorry. But it's pretty recent. I was just asking a bunch of questions really and I forced her to show me a picture. I guess... I guess we actually can have a conversation, it just depends on the topic haha.


So, this is what I found out: they started dating on the 12th of this month, his name is Takuya (how freaking cool is that! I told her that name was cool and she laughed. She was really embarrassed about all this, not to mention she kept saying "hazukashii" (embarrassing) a lot), he rides a motorcyle (even more cool!! People here could get licenses for driving motorcyles at age 16 but to drive cars you need to be 18. Strange, ne?), and he smokes. He looks really good though. Luckyyy~~ She tried to tell me a word in Japanese to say what he was like and where she put it in the dictionary the word 'juvenile delinquent' came up. I started laughing. There were other words that came up with that but it's just that word HAD to be there. She said he's amazingly nice and just yesterday he bought her a Mickey Mouse necklace and he bought a matching one for himself. Kawaii~~!! The necklace looked like it would be on the expensive side too. It was really nice. After she said that it's not good, about the smoking and stuff I said, "Demo ai desho?" (But it's love, right?). It's hard to use the word "ai" with her because that's her name too. She didn't understand what I was saying ai for until I made a heart with my fingers.


But seriously, isn't it nice? We actually talked for awhile too. We have the same interest in common. And all I kept saying was "ii na" (I'm not exactly sure on the exact translation of that but it's along the lines of 'that's wonderful/awesome' and nice things like that). I think she felt my pain. And right now, Ai, I can't thank you enough even if things don't work out. Seriously. Arigatou gozaimasu. Hontou, arigatou. Ai thought of some people in her school that she knew and came up with this one guy and began texting him. My chess piece finally made a move. The texting went back and forth till about midnight when she told me she thinks he went to sleep. An exact answer didn't come from him yet if he was interested or not, but the texting went on for some time so he had to be asking questions. The biggest problem/question: "the language barrier". I think I might have been able to meet with him today if I didn't already have plans, 'cause Ai asked me what I had planned. Otoo-san already has plans with me (crap!). She asked me about height, hair style, personality, the such. And where would I go if I get one. So, I guess I really won't know till sometime later today what will happen. But I have to seriously study now. Which also means at the moment I'm giving up on kanji. I'll study that once a week but now I'm focusing on memorizing vocab.



So yeah. From this whole relasp this week this is where it bought me. So, Brittany (Brittany Pleash, by the way), when I said 'don't lose faith in me just yet', now I'm serious haha. I'm sure any one of my friends could guess that inside joke anyway haha. To end this off I'll say one more fact I asked Ai about. haha. I asked her if she ever tried smoking before. See, she hates smoking because it smells. So, I asked her if she ever tried. Her answer was yes but then I asked what age. I wasn't expecting that answer. She couldn't even remember her age but she said it was in elementary school. She's like, "it makes you choke". Kyaha. Wow Ai. But thanks bunches. Seriously. And now I know there isn't a barrier between us, we just never get the chances ^_^


And people, listen to the song "Chiisana Koi no Uta" by Mongol 800. (Chiisana Koi no Uta = Small Love Song). It's not new but... it's still sweet ^_^
