Dec 25
Tamura sensei, from Shirikawa technical school always likes to converse with me in English.
" Please come to my office and speak to me" she always says. She dosen't care if I can't handle the non existent English club during lunch time, she's happier that way because I sulk back to the office to talk to her. Such a user.
She asked me to have dinner and karaoke with her ( she's like 40 or so ) and she booked me for Dec 25. Alright, so I was thinking that maybe I'd have friends to do stuff with but many of the ALTs are out of the country. So I finally agreed reluctantly, I mean who wants to go out with someone double your age on Christmas? Oh well better than nothing right? Wrong. She canceled on the day. =__=
So here I am sitting on my bed, in front of my lappie, finger knitting a scarf in my underwear and leggings. Why? BECAUSE IT'S SO DAMN COLD my PJ pants, all 3 of them didn't dry in 3days. But for your big fat information, I was fully clothed above. Anyways, finger knitting involves tying all of your fingers up with the scarf so you can't really type or do anything. Ok so far so good, I'm a bit sad that it's the worst Christmas ever but whatever right? I mean just suck it up right?
Then the EARTHQUAKE hit. Yes. An. EARTHQUAKE. At first I wondered if I should have hid, but then I realized if my paper hut were to collapse on me, the thin glass might cut me, but the entire weight of the ceiling and walls probably won't kill me. I mean, I'm more afraid of being found frozen or near death, pinned under something, with my fingers tied to a half made scarf, sitting cross legged in my underwear. If that had happened it would be an even better Christmas..I mean what beats dying in your underwear tied to your boyfriend's half made scarf? After being breifly scared, I realized it was God's way of saying, " Suck it up princess.. it could be worse."
Did I mention Dec 25th isn't a national holiday? Yea I had to work that day too.
Well it's been like a month.. so I just look back and roll my eyes but the events that follow are much more interesting... hehehe
PS. I lied about the pictures, they are all on facebook... so um go check em out ^__^;; sorry I don't know how to show them to ya. And I mean from Okinawa, not the strange creature crouched in a dark hut with a faint glow of computer screen reflecting off her smudged glasses.
