There's just one little thing that stops me ev'ry time.
There are people throwing a party outside my house, basically in my front and side yard considering it's all shared space. It's going on midnight and tiny child voices and big drunk laughs are still punching through my walls, which are as soundproof as maybe the cabins or tent-cabins in Yosemite. Where you can hear someone walking by, especially if they crunch gravel. So as far as the party goes they might as well be inside my house for all the sleep I would be able to get.
I tried writing, but I'm still feeling sick, which isn't helped by the fact that I am stressed about something that might not even be something to stress over. Then I was killing time by looking at bird gifs (the second one is def me and brain, but I'm not sure who is which) and websites, but then started wishing that I was drunk - which wouldn't help with the sickness, but maybe could distract me.
Today I got omiyage from Matsuda-iinchou, whom kyouikuchou starts calling "iinchi" when he's tossing them back, like last night. Speaking of which, kyouikuchou kept trying to feed me - more than normal - and was asking me what food besides curry rice I'm obsessed with. I mentioned that I liked "Daito pizza" (which really is more like a weird crepe type thing but still good) so he turns around and orders one. I go "No I'm good! I was just trying to tell you food I liked!" and he goes "I'LL eat it!" But when it came I definitely ended up eating some and he definitely didn't. Iinchou kept toasting me - maybe that was because he was more blasted than me, or maybe he wants us to be pals, who knows - and I got hizashiburi's from Yoseda-san and kyouikuchou's wife, the latter with whom I had a lovely conversation about not knowing what to do with a coconut. I also got more weight comments (everyone thinks I'm going down) which is chotto but also flattering.
I've been very tense lately.

Okay, I just finished a 50ker, and am feeling better. Especially when I was in tears from laughing about a part about Michael Crawford and passive-aggressive parents who totally fail hilariously. It was also pretty impressive with how it dealt with um, Issues. So that was cool.
I'm also in the middle of episode 4 of Great Teacher Onizuka, which is fun. But now I've started thinking about what Western television would be like if they made speeches all the time at the bad guys.
... and now I have this image of Merlin going "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" and casting a spell.
God damn my crackified, crossover brain. Which I am blaming utterly and completely for these things. Well at least the half that encourages me.
