飲み会
Oh my so much to be said how can I possibly sum it all up. First things first, had best social experience since coming to japan at the big ol party held on Friday with N-Crew (that’s the name of the 総合dance club we have here that covers all genres from hip hop , to house, locking, break..etc) In celebration (I guess you could call it an 打ち上げ) for the event we threw about a month a go we used a touch of the profit money and had ourselves a ho down in this room on the top floor of a Mexican restaurant in 伏見. I met all the 新入生(new students) properly and learned that within their ranks there are: 2 free stylers, 1 r and b singer, 2 new bboys, and a lot of very cute girls joining, not surprisingly, the girls hip hop club. Referred to lovingly as ガルズ ）For a total of about 40 rioting dancers pigging out on all you can eat pizza, karage, shumai etc. I had a bunch of talks about American hip hop with the MC and met 正吉 hes new to the breakdance club this year.
We talked a lot and I felt really in place, well at least more than usual anyhow, not fluency but at least that level where I don’t feel held in place by the fact that I don’t speak the language fluently. I also got to know a lot of the people I haven’t really hung out with in club until now. On a side note there are too too too many hot girls in N-Crew, they sort of feel like sisters but oh man, such crushes I have now that Im no longer dating anyone * pout *. I seriously don’t know what id be doing if I dateｄ anyone now here. Id really like to make some more connections here but having some sort of romantic relationship wouldn’t work at this point. Found out my biggest crush in dance club has a boyfriend..just got one in fact…and that sorta sucked because she was awfully cute.
Ok so moving away from my lustings there was so much going on there. The guy who joined breakdance club was a former gymnast and totally did the drunken splits…hes even more flexible than ヨッピ先輩. In short there are a great wealth of awesome pics from the night and I want to post some here, oh if only I had a paid acct. Its just a lot of shots of drunken Japanese men and then a ton of pictures of me looking like some sort of disheveled white pimp with 8 girls crammed into the frame around me. It was a tremendously good bonding experience with everyone and reminded me I have friends in Japan, something that sometimes I doubted over the course of the semester at points. One of my fav moments so far in fact was with my buddy kenichi..who has this goofy low voice and loves practicing headspins. He gave me a ride on his motorcycle to break practice one night and while approaching 星が丘（hoshigaoka station） he (in his ever so goofy but endearing voice) was like ジュリアンが帰っちゃったら、俺さえ泣いちゃうかもしれん I can not picture this man weeping, but it was totally cool to hear something like that from a friend here. Makes the year feel like a success…
ps this journal reads like i have the literacy of a 6th grader for some reason..the management has been duly notified of this and will make sure it doesnt happen again
