(no subject)
wow, I really haven't updated in a long time. I don't really know what to type because so much happens and not much happens at the same time.
I saw Transformers 2 yesterday. The first one was a lot better, sadly.
I'm coming home in less than 30 days. It seems like time goes so fast, but so slow at the same time. It feels like I've been here for ages, but it's only been 3 months. I'm guessing it's from me missing Caitlin so much. It's just crazy to think I was going to be here for 270 days, but now I'm leaving in less than 30. I'm not exactly sad or happy about leaving- just like when I left. I want to leave really bad because I realllllllly love Caitlin- plus America has some plus sides that I miss. The down side is that I just feel like I could do so much more in this country with my time. I'm just kind of worried that I won't have another reason to come back to Japan because they aren't exactly foreigner-friendly about coming into the country. But that's really my only worry.
If it isn't obvious yet, I'm ecstatic about seeing Cait again. I can't wait to get back and get our own apartment together =).
my plans for this week:
Today: go to Sakae/ Osu and hang around
Tomorrow (Sunday): hopefully go to the beach
monday-thursday: hate the fuck out of the Japanese education system
Friday-Sunday/ monday: go to Tokyo with Richard!!!!!!! (YESSS)
A couple weeks from now (around July 4th): Climb Mt. Fuji (yeahhhhyuzzzz)
In other news: I met the best DDR player in the area for the first time. We were talking about how it's funny that we always see each other's names and scores and stuff but it's weird we never met. The guy's name is Masa and he had a pretty big group of people with him. What ended up happening was the arcade got on the Pa and said they'd be closing in 30 minutes, so Masa comes up to me and says "well, since this is our last game, you wanna play together?" (In Japanese of course). I agreed and didn't think anything of it, but apparently everyone else in the arcade did. Everyone else took it as me dancing and then Masa dancing back, which means 'it's on'. Random people that didn't even play DDR watched our set and got hyped.
Masa picked sweet sweet <3 magic and beat me on it because I hadn't played it in forever. I picked AM3P challenge steps and beat him slightly. He picks Paranoia Respect and I beat him by around 5%. For the last song I picked Saber Wing Akira headshot mix and beat him by 6% or something. The people behind us gave out a couple gasps of surprise and then people started congratulating me- even ones that didn't play DDR. haha
That's just a fun little story. I wasn't taking the set seriously or anything, but it was funny scoring points for gaijin-san and getting thumbs up from random people walking home afterward.
