mad weekend
hmm my house is like a youth hostel... fri day night i had 5 people (the taj gang) staying over - rori, gareth, chance, mami (gareths new squeeze, gorgeous japanese girl who speaks fantastic english, way to go gareth!) and chance's sister jamie. what did we do... we went to my local bar again and scared some of the locals ;)... one of the guys we met last time was there again and had a crazy ass friend with him, who was scaring the shit out of us... he had a screw loose somewhere, or he'd just had too much to drink, although most probably a bit of both. rori and i played darts and while we were walking to the bar at about 10.30 i of course (can't escape them!) saw some of my students at the local conbini near the bar and ducked into the bar quickly before they could see me... what the hell where they doing out so late!?
saturday was a crazy day, i got up early and went to kobe, came back and met the gang for an indian lunch, and rushed home to get ready to go out with a couple of my female teachers (one of them being my wild school nurse) they were going to meet some american la cross players and wanted me to come to keep up the conversation... but unfortunately there were miscommunications and the boys didnt meet us, and the girls wanted to wait and find out why, so i had to call and call and call.... it was embarrassing, felt like we were desperate or something... personally i wouldve left after 15mins.. but what could i do... after that they dropped me at a train station and i met the taj gang in osaka for dinner at the outback and yet again ran into to megan and her hubby.. ive been there twice and each time i have bumped into them and believe it or not they have only been there twice as well!! weird...
anyway after we went back to kawanishi and got to listen to chance sing up a storm! I sang a few, gareth and rori sang a lot and jamie didn't at all... but we had fun. caught a cab home from a cool cabby that let us squeeze 4 in the back seat. and yay i got to sleep in on sunday. i had the shakes all day sunday (no idea y) chance took jamie back up to the taj right after lunch and gareth and rori stuck around. i drove for the first time in japan, gareth was kind enough to let me drive his car, and it felt like driving in australia except there was a lot more traffic and the road a narrower, but i had fun driving, i bought a fan since its getting f-ing hot here gareth bought the same one and they rock!! went home and chilled... sat there wishing the weekend wasn't so short and i missed the company of friends for all of 10mins until i switched back into my hermit mode...
