HOT.
I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth, promised, I'm just in France with mom. No offense, I love my mom, but I haven's spent a summer holiday with just her in ages, probably since I was what, 14, 15? Ironic I get to do it again at 18. Seriously, I'm visiting all the places I used to hang out as a kid. And it feels... well, lame. :/ Grandmaman even said I should be in bed before 11PM (at which mom had the grace to laugh at me, btw). I don't think I'll ever be considered adult with them, sucks being the youngest kid in a traditional French family. Also because, apparently even though I'm not mature enough to be out after 11PM, according to all my aunts, I still really should get married and have kids soon. O_O Somebody dissect this logic for me, please... *not amused*
Either way, I have been hanging out normally like I would have in Tokyo - my room's on the ground floor and I told mom I was not about to obey said curfew, of course. I've been partying with Catherine on weekends, took walks, hung out... but only after 5PM. Lord so help me it's insanely hot here. I've never been too fond of too high temperatures, but this year... it just kills me. I'd peel my skin down it's so hot some days... I miss my apartment and its air-conditioning. x_x
Speaking of which, Dai's been really helpful. Not without poking fun of me for it, but! I eventually went to say hi to the bar he works at whenever I was in town on errands. It so happens my grandmother likes to remember she forgot this or that for lunch and proceeds to point out how I'm young and healthy and won't I be a dear and go fetch her this or that from the store. Of course I go, every time - she'd have a stroke if she went herself! Point being tho, that this always happens to be in the worst heat of the day. Meaning Dai got to see me dying and stealing an ice-cube or two a day to last me on the way back.
Which was why he one Wednesday woke me up at approximately 5:30AM and told me we're going to the beach cuz he was sick of my moaning how hot it is. I thought he was joking. But by 6AM he came rattling at my window. So I had to pack my swimwear, towel, wallet and bell-cap (Mimi you have no idea how much I love you for it, it's a lifesaver) and ride the bike down to the beach. Which was actually quite nice of him. Save the part when he hefted me up, said bell-cap and sunglasses still on and all, and threw me into the sea like a rag doll.
Anyways, I'm at his place now, waiting for people to show up; He's mailed me earlier today that he got a call from Parma so we're supposed to be celebrating? I hope you guys turn up, we got wine and pizza and croissants for later. =)
Hope everyone else's enjoying summer. =) I should be back in Japan by the 25th.
