...Well, sorta....
We got back in Tokyo this morning after another long, boring flight, but then myself, my family, and some of the others took a second flight for Okinawa, where I plan to stay for several more days....I've missed home, and I know my folks have missed it just as much....Perhaps even more, since they're not used to being away from home for long periods of time like I am...And all this business with my mother and them having to stay in Tokyo for so long has helped remind them of that....It was nice getting to experience the things of the Big City and then getting to see 'Toutou-san's family again after all these years, but they were ready to be back home again...
I'm going to miss my father's family though...I was glad to be able to see all of them again and it often felt like all that time hadn't passed by and we were able to fall into old familiar ways with each other~~ Well, with most of them anyway....I think by the time we left, Yori-Ojisan was well aware of my distrust and dislike of him...But he kept insisting his intentions were good ones despite it...I'm still not sure if I believe him, though...And I still plan to check up on his story now that we are home...And the luau they threw was fucking *awesome*~~! I'm pretty sure I gorged myself on enough kalua pig and poke to last me a fucking week~~ And they had traditional okolehao liquor there~~ ...Which....lead to me having an awful hangover in the morning...But I definitely enjoyed it at the time~~ And definitely enjoyed the sex that resulted from it~~ Even if Keigo kept giggling during it...Still don't know what was so funny...Though I think he got into that froofy pineapple wine...
...But now we're back and just in time for the Obon celebrations~~ It's my favorite time of the year, especially when I get to celebrate it at home~~ The festivities and the restlessness and excitement of the spirits around us always puts me in a pleasant mood~~ And there's this vibe here in Okinawa that's different from what I've seen on the Mainland...We do things differently and the celebrations here are bigger and louder, but it's not just that...There's this excitement present and it's like we're dancing hand in hand with the spirits that we've woken up for the holiday...And sometimes we actually are doing exactly that...I enjoy it. And I'm sure as it continues for the next couple of days, I'll be making the most of all the celebrating and will stay in a perpetually happy mood.....So people should enjoy it while it lasts, because I'll probably end up pissed off about something once it all ends and then everyone will want to avoid me....
...Oh yeah. And before I forget...I believe I promised a bald man pictures of snow in Tokyo...
I felt so fucking sorry for this poor kid...
