Miyuki's visa didn't get renewed, so she has to be out of the country by Sept. 6th or something. This girl has lived in the U.S. for six years, was a straight A student in college, has never missed a day of work. She speaks fluent English. She has no friends left in Japan -- just her family. She contributes more to this society than many people who were born here.
And still, that's not good enough to earn the privilege to live in this country.
One of my best friends, ever, has to leave the country a month after my wedding. At least we can see each other before she leaves, but after that? Well, I make it to Japan every few years, but damn. I found out a couple weeks ago, but I just talked to her on the phone and it kinda hit me all over again.
Goddamn motherfuck douche sack. That's all I have to say about that.
In more awesome news, I love hot weather. And hiking. And vegetarian chicken.
Post a picture that will cheer me up, please. It better not have anything to do with Japan or weddings, or I'll kickyoass.
