On Monday (my last day of vacation T_T)
pekifreak and I hung out around Osu and Sakae, primarily to go to Ran no Yakata because there's a "summer lights" thing going on. But see like, I figured they'd darken the inner rooms so the lights could be cute all day, but no :P Apparently the light show is only on after sundown, which means it only lasts for an hour because even now the place closes at 8 ._o Oh well. I still love the orchid garden. It's so peaceful if you ignore the old people that want to talk to you :P
BRAAAAAAAAAAAINZ.
hell yeah, I'm mature.
this is much prettier in person..
If I were really Alice, these would be my friends.
The outdoor area is lovely but I became a feast for mosquitos D: ELEVEN bites!! ARGH
If you're on d_l you'll see these twice, but I don't care :B They're great shots, courtesy of Jessica, who has actual training in photography xD
my sense of irony, let me show you it.
Yeah so like, we walked from the garden to Likea, which is on the same street but is actually like 230915829 miles away, as we learned. But on our way there I thought I spotted someone I knew, so I went in close, and sure enough it was one of my students, waiting to cross the street into Sakae. I'm posting this entry publicly so let's call him N-san. He's my personal highest level student-- the one who knows about invisible pronouns and weird things like that ._o But like, I said, "Long time no see!" without considering that, yeah, I'm in full-tilt Rori mode and he's never seen me in anything except my work clothes (generally, slacks and a collared shirt, though I have been known to over-accessorize).
He was like O___O "Yeah... yeah... you look... you, you, you, you, you look, you look, you, you" -- his walk sign has turned green now -- "you look, you, look, b-b-b-, you look--"
I finally gave him a laughing shove in his merry direction, saying, "BYE, N-san!" and he continued to give me a O___O as he stumbled backward across the street. LMAO. I scared the English out of that boy!
Anyway though. I laughed for like a year. And then went to Likea and bought live tickets, and the staff were surprisingly not being evil racist bitches :o Win all around.
