Well I`ve been in a rather strange mood lately. Even I know it. I`ve been getting moody and emotional one minute and the next I feel like I`m so light I`m flying in the air...sounds `out there`. Sometimes I don`t write the situations of my life on this journal the intense moments are just too difficult to describe. I`m going to finally attempt to describe some of my daily life here in Osaka. (Although it might be more interesting to talk about Kyoto, eh another time)
Yesterday I called in sick; I was out the night before drinking talking to some locals and being so direct with a Japanese guy about his using viagra...I just didn`t care.
Drag my ass home; I rolled into my place at God knows what time, lay in my futon and watch one of the worst thrillers of all time `I know what you did last summer`. After I drifted off to sleep I woke up at 6am feeling a touch of flu and a bit of a headache. I hate calling in sick. So I get ready for work, shower, make up the whole sha bang and come to the realization, I just can`t go.
Call in sick; YEEAAHA
Go back to sleep; YEEAAHA I wake up later and head out around Osaka castle. I lie under the cherry blossoms debating whether or not I should stick it out here or what I should do next.
Crave Mexican; probably one of my biggest weaknesses, I head down to Shinsaibashi and go to this little quaint place I and other foriegners love.
Meet two Brits and a Canuck; They invite me to eat dinner with them and we share our experiences in Japan, two bad they were leaving in a few days.
Drag my ass home again; It`s a long walk from Nakazaki station to my house...actually it`s down the street but I still hate the minute walk and the long climb up the stairs.
Fall asleep; once I hit the covers.
Wake up; head to work where everyone asks me if I`m feeling alright. I like the people I work with..love all around.
have lunch: kathrynn happens to mention the word `poop` while conversing with Richard and myself, being one of my most hated words I refrain from eating and possibly worse
Finish the day; finally at around 7:45 Jenn comes trotting to my booth.
Jenn: Hey how was your day
Aprille: totally out of it I wasn`t there it was like I was on some magical drug
Jenn: Where were you? I either sleep with my eyes open or go to Thailand Aprille: Haha that`s where I usually go too, but not today.
Jenn: Where today?
Aprille: Oh god...this is bad... couldn`t stop thinking about sex all day
Jenn: HAHAHA
Aprille: You know that one lesson with the `ING` and `ED` adjectives?
I was teaching that lesson and all I could think was `In my mind I`m fuckING, therefore you are fuckED`
Jenn laughs...but deep down both she and I know she goes further south of the border of Thailand ;)
I still feel kind of strange and out of character. That last line was definately something I would have said to my girls in uni or high school. I haven`t talked like that... since that time and definately never in the office. I feel like...
