So, I don't know if there's many people curious on my current situation right now but I shall say things are looking good. With Ai's, Sayaka's, and Mizuki's help I started talking to 3 different guys. Now, it's down to one. I'll explain why. And having a keitai here sure is useful. Japanese students sure do rely on them a lot. But before I get into all that...
Saturday was the last time I posted a blog, right? So, lets see, Sunday. Sunday Otoo-san took me to some fire safety thing. What did I do there? I passed buckets of water to people, used a fire extinguisher (sorry about my spelling) to put out a fire (I'm surprised these people even tried to teach me to use it haha), and I walked into a tent filled with smoke trying to find my way to the exit. It was to show you how being trapped in a house filled with smoke was like and there were fake walls in the tent so you had to find your way around. I got lost. But when I made it out I was choking. After that we went to some kind of festival thing where that place I made crapes was. I made cotton candy this time. I swear I must have made 200 of them for all these little kids wanting it. Tsukareta (I was tired)~~ It was fun though actually. I enjoyed myself. When I came home Okaa-san and Tonpi were back, but damn I was exhausted. Seriously. They were looking at my package I got from my parents filled with American food, and Tonpi joined me in my room for whatever reason I can't remember why. Ai came home about an hour or two later and came in my room with us with this smirk on her face telling me to come here. I only knew what it was and I just laughed. That friend of her's from the night before, became interested. She gave me his number and I was told to mail him (it's called mail here, not text). So I did and that went on for a bit that night. His name is Masaki and I found out a bit about him. I asked for a picture and got something I didn't want. -sigh- The picture explains it all. He's the one on the right.
You see? He has a shaved head. That turned me off already. I like my guys with HAIR. HAIR. He's into baseball so that's why it's like that Ai told me. He was really nice, too, sending me mail with the kanji and it's hiragana in parentheses (bad spelling again). But anyway, I'm glad it only lasted that night and for two mails the next morning. I haven't talked to him since. Then Monday at school Sayaka told me about this friend of her's named Kazuto. She assured me he has hair (haha). So, I mailed him, found out he's in Badminton Club (woot!) but that was all I got from him. Just that night. I tried again the next morning but nothing came. Sayaka said he likes foreigners but I don't know what happened. Actually, yesterday I tried mailing him again and he actually responded back. He was in the middle of a Badminton tournament though. But anyway, he doesn't seem too interested so I gave up on him. Mizuki's friend is actually the best so far. Monday night I had to go to some Rotary dinner and Mizuki sent me mailing asking if I'd want her friends number saying: "he's a interesting person". Interesting is always good, I mean at least you can't get bored, right? I got his number the next day at school, she was busy the rest of that night she couldn't give me it. But before him
I wanna talk about my dinner. I wasn't told anything about a speech so I was super happy. Unfortunately, Otoo-san surprises me near the end saying to give a small speech in Japanese. Is he serious? Dekinai (I can't)~~~~ Damn him. I'm glad he had some pictures of what I've been doing lately so I just stumbled around making those sentences, telling everyone. I was speechless at first though. The dinner was Italian food. For a Japanese chef making Italian food, it was actually pretty good. And the dessert with it UWAHH~~~ oishikatta (it was delicious)~~~
Tuesday arrives and I'm pumped for some badminton in gym class. Oh no. I HAD to be surprised. Ayami's asks me if I have my outside shoes with me (shoes 3 finally getting it's use). No. I only have my gym shoes. Aren't we in the gym as usual today? No. We RAN. WE RAN. Seriously, what is wrong with these people. How could they run like they did? I think we were forced o run 2 km and I'm not sure how long that is but it was TOO long for me. Oh yes. I gave up not even half way through it. Me run? HAH. No way. I was exhausted! Ayami's still running and then I just stop dead in my tracks and begin to walk. People began passing me up, my classmates asking me if I'm going to run. My answer: "Akirameru" (I give up). I walked the rest of the way. We didn't even run in the school. We left the school and ran in a huge circle around it on the streets while the teacher stayed in the school. We seriously could have just ran off. And since I didn't have my outside shoes I borrowed some girl's in my class, she had an extra pair. Running and wearing shoes that really don't fit you doesn't mix for me.
Then there was today. So, every Wednesday we have a free period to do whatever the heck we want really. I was preparing to sleep until I saw everyone changing into their gym uniform. Huh? I don't have my gym uniform. What are we doing? We don't even HAVE gym today. No. Don't tell me we're freaking picking god damn weeds again?!?!?!?!? Thank god we weren't doing that. But I wasn't expecting what we did do. First of all, my legs were KILLING me. Still are actually. I could hardly get myself to sit, they didn't want to bend. So, it was pretty painful before and after classes having to stand then sit back down each time to bow. But we ended up walking again. We walked to the mall. I still had no idea why either. But all the ichi (1) and ni (2) nensei (students) were doing this. We got to the center of the mall and split into groups. Guess what we were doing? We were picking up garbage. GARBAGE. All of us walked down here, were given a bag, gave us a route to walk, and were told to go garbage picking, with our bare hands I may as well add. I don't understand anymore. We are doing the strangest stuff here. First the pulling of weeds, now picking up garbage? -sigh- It was fun though just being with your friends screaming "gomi!" (garbage) and pointing at it when we saw a cigarette bud or what the best prize was: a traffic cone. We actually got lost too. Teachers weren't with us, we just had to follow our route. But we forgot what our route was and started taking just any path. We weren't just cleaning the outside of the mall, it was the streets around it too. Then eventually we headed back to the school. So, school life sure is interesting for sure. All the weird stuff we do.
Hmm, and now for Hattori. He's Mizuki's friend and is a san (3) nensei. I started talking to him yesterday and he's actually quite easy to talk to. Like, when I was talking to the other two it was just hard to keep the conversations flowing. Always having to bring a new subject up. I guess it's a good thing he's "interesting" as Mizuki says. She hasn't given me a reason as to why he is though. She said he likes foreigners though. So, I've been mailing him a lot and we've already decided to go do karaoke soon, maybe this weekend? With a group of friends of course. I think karaoke would be pretty awkward and boring with just two people, especially if you don't even know each other that great. So, I told him to bring some friends. I'll have to drag Mizuki with me. But I'm a little afraid to actually meet in person, because I understand Japanese a lot more when it's written in front of my face. Like this mailing is no problem for me. And I seem pretty fluent with it. Once I have to talk or respond back to a question, things aren't going to go as smoothly :(
So, yeah. I should have a picture of him sometime soon, whenever I decide to ask him or if I get one thins weekend. I'm not exactly sure what he looks like yet, Mizuki showed me a picture but it was too far away of him so I'm not sure. But, he has hair ^_^ [[there was just a small earthquake right now]]
