8 years ago today....

I saw Rent for the first time!!!! Awwwwwwwwww, memories. I haven't seen it in over a year, but YAY for November! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent!

Dance, 1nensei, Dance!

Japanese “summer vacations” are the biggest joke of a vacation ever, as the kids still go to school and study just as much! The school year doesn’t end until March, so the kids have homework to do during their holidays, AND they have to come into school a few times in August for no apparent reason. I feel so bad for them! On top of that, the kids are doing bukatsu at school every day, and everyone goes to juku (cram school) even more than usual, especially 3nensei. Poor bastards!

Anyway, today I was doing my daily “Jeff is bored, let’s wander around the school grounds” walk when I heard lots of noise coming from the gym. I walked over there and found ALL of the 1nensei learning how to dance! Ahahahahaha, it was an amusing sight. Imagine tons of 1nensei boys and girls being forced to dance with each other, with painful grimaces on their faces while doing some sort of hybrid square dance type of thing. Hee hee! Sooooooooooooo amusing. They are going on a 3-day field trip in September to Mt. Akagi, and apparently they have to dance there? I’m not sure why, exactly, but I wish I could go just to see that! Hee hee.

Orientization

Wednesday was the first day of the new Gunma JET Orientation in Maebashi. Sadly, Cindy, Ann and I are losers and had been looking forward to it all summer! We have no lives. It was three days of intense orientation-izing, of which I skipped a lot of, muahahaha. It was sooooooooooo nice to be away from boring-as school, and it was nice to get to know some of the new JETs! I was a volunteer, which meant that I had one or two things to do all day, then just fuck around for the rest of the time! Yes, VERY stressful!

Wednesday after orientation, we had the big karaoke night, which was lots of sweaty fun. Holy shit, it was soooooooooooooooo hot in there, I had to take my shirt off at the end just to NOT die (I got judgmental stares from some guys, but fuck you, I was about to die it was so hot! I wasn’t trying to show off my incredibly muscular body, bitches!). Anyhoo, after that Ann, Cindy and I went to our favorite place in the world, the lobby of the hotel! We pretty much spent the whole orientation there so that we could spy on people. Hahahaha. Well, that wasn’t necessarily the purpose of sitting there, but it was a nice bonus! I got way drunk at karaoke, so it was fun night :)

Thursday everyone was tired and hungover, which was maybe not the best idea for orientation (karaoke is usually on Thursday), but oh well. That night we took some of the new JETs to the Indian restaurant to get some yummyyyyyyyyyy chocolate naan, which kicked ass! Mmmm! Plus, yay to hanging out with newbies!

Friday was the fun cultural day that GAJET organized. We all got to see a taiko drum performance, which was muy cool. And yeah! I dunno. Other shit happened, but I can’t remember anymore. It was fun times! I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone better….too bad the “Welcome to Gunma” beer garden is the day I leave for the States, hrmph.

Saturday in Toks

On Saturday, Ann, Cindy and I went down to Tokyo to see Movin’ Out, the Billy Joel musical (by the U.S. touring cast, not in Japanese). It was really good!!! It isn’t really a musical as much as a modern ballet. The whole show is danced, while a Billy Joel-ish guy sings all of the songs on a stage above them. The dancing was amazing! I can’t even imagine being able to do that once, let alone every day?! Fucking crazy, yo. The show tells the story of high school friends being sent to Vietnam, then the aftermath. It was really good and I’m very glad we went! I haven’t had enough theatre in Japan!

In Japan, theatre is way too expensive, and even though we had 8000 yen tickets, we were in the second-to-last row! Um, not acceptable for Jeff the Theatre Queen! Fortunately the show wasn’t sold out, so we moved down to the expensive seats for the second act!

After the show, we went to Yoyogi Koen for Tokyo Gay Pride. We arrived to the MOST depressing pride celebration I have ever seen! There were like five people there and it was silent! It turned out that the parade had just left, so we wandered around looking for it….only to find more silence! Dude, Japanese Pride parades are soooooo Japanese! They were all quiet and organized and shit! Hello, where are the noisy Dykes on Bikes and shit?! After being thoroughly disappointed, the girls and I went to Starbucks, where we got a great table to judge people on the street for an hour. We then returned to the Pride place in the park, and it was MUCH better than before. There were lots of guys and it was actually noisy! Yay. It was nice to see gay people actually existing in Japan. However, it totally felt like we live in Communist China or some shit, as you weren’t allowed to take people’s pictures without permission, ‘cause some people couldn’t be outed? Um, it’s fucking PRIDE, people, you can’t be like “I’m proud of being gay! But don’t take pictures of me, I don’t want people to KNOW I’m gay!” Bah. So they need to work on that, but at least there actually is Pride here, I guess.

In the evening we went to a Japanese-French restaurant that Cindy had read about in The Japan Times. It was good, but they took their sweet time with the food! We got a course set, and they totally were going purposely slow so that we could order a million expensive drinks in the meantime! We were stubborn gaijin, tho, and refused to get shitfaced (and poor), unlike SOME people in the restaurant! One table seriously drank at LEAST three bottles of wine, and there were only three people at the table! Anyway, the dinner was good, but way too filling, despite not being too much food. I am officially gonna die in the States.

The other good news about Saturday was that we got tons of flyers about musicals coming to Japan….including Tick Tick Boom! YAY!!!! TTB is a three-person show by Jonathan Larson, the writer of Rent. I have seen videos of it (perfectly legal, of course), but have yet to see the show in person. Anyway, there is a touring Japanese production of it in November, so Ann and I got tickets to see it! Woot!!! Sadly we didn’t know about it sooner, as we got tickets in the back of the theatre (WHAT Japanese people know of TTB?! Seriously), but at least we’re seeing it. And the guy playing Jonathan was Mark in the Japanese production of Rent! Appropriate! So I am seeing both TTB AND Rent in November….a Jonathan Larson-filled month! WOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Shake your bon-bon

Today is the first day of obon (or “bon”) in Japan, which is the designated time that practically everyone in Japan goes back to their hometown to visit their family and worship their ancestors (K, there is a better way to put that, but I can’t think of it). Thank god I am not Japanese, because trains, planes, buses and roads are soooo crowded at this time of year with everyone going home! Tack on the new airport drama and it’s badness all around.

Anyway, it is interesting that they have obon, as the closest things for Americans would be like Thanksgiving or Christmas, I guess? That’s when you see your family, but we don’t ever give a shit about our ancestors, hehe (well, maybe Veteran’s Day or Memorial Day, but not really).

Being at school sucks even more during obon, as almost every single teacher is taking nenkyu and is on “vacation” (I don’t consider family and ancestor time to be vacation!). There are THREE teachers here today! Sooooooooooooooooooooo boring. C’mon, kyoto sensei, tell me I can go home!!!

Naughty bits!

K, not really, but here are some either naughty or just plain random pics that didn't make it to the semi-family-friendly photo site...


The Country Ma'ams being "sexy" with Country Ma'ams! Mmmmhmmm!


In Korea, we all had the chance to marry Yon-sama! How exciting. Ann takes her turn...


Now Cindy....


Dude, Yon-sama is queenier than me, he should be in the damn bride's dress!


Dude, it's sad when you get excited at the thought of a vending machine with food in it! Vending machines are EVERYWHERE in Japan, but they only have drinks (well, there are also porn ones, battery ones, rice ones, condom ones.....everything but food!). Anyway, the ones in Korea had like big boxes of cookies and shit! Clazy.


Beer in Korea has odd names, yo. Sean's beer likes it could be "Shite" when it is turned properly....


This one looks like it could be "Ass."


And best of all, we have OB, which hopefully is NOT made by the tampon maker! Eww.


Japanese boys LOVE dressing like girls! Akihito got WAY into being Hermione in our skit!


Misaki, the stud of the camp, turned into one big-boobed girl in no time!!!


In Mexican churches, they have all kinds of creepy-ass religious mannequins all over the place. They are CREEPY. Eduardo and I found the treasure of all religious mannequins, tho......gay Jesus!


After leaving the church, Eduardo and I were talking about gay Jesus. We had different takes on it. Proper, polite Eduardo described Jesus as "being in a compromising position," while I said that it was Jesus taking it up the ass. Either way, Jesus is GAY, and a total nelly bottom, to boot!


And just for fun....me and Eduardo, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Picture Update, FINALLY

Yes, I added a shitload shitload shitload of pics to my photo site! Go there NOW, 'cause I did it for YOU and it was BORING! Bastards ;)

Little Samuel Clemens!!!

Sammy is officially the cutest dog EVER!!!!! And I get to see her in 2 1/2 weeks! YAY!!!!

Yabuzuka Matsuri

On Saturday Cindy was nice enough to accompany me to the Yabuzuka matsuri (festival). I went by myself last year and it was soooooo boring and awkward, as I didn’t know anyone (it was a few days after coming here) and I just walked around for 3 hours by myself (sniff!).

Well, it was still kinda boring and awkard this year, but at least Cindy and I could talk shit about people! Hahahaha. Poor Cindy got judged by every single student that passed us (and the entire school was there), as all of my students were searching for gossip between us. I was asked if she was my wife, fiancé, girlfriend, friend, and, most surprisingly, SISTER?! Um, yes, there IS a very strong resemblance…..crazy students.

Anyway, apparently Shinders made a lasting impression, as I am at school today and they are all asking me about her again! Oy.

UNESCO Kyanpu

Last week was a busy week (usually an oxymoron during the summer!) for ALTs, as we all had to go to the UNESCO English Camp from Wednesday through Friday. Each chuugakkou sends their English-y students, and they get to play games, speak English, do skits, etc. It is pretty much an excuse for everyone to get no sleep and have a big sleepover (don’t tell UNESCO that!). There were 15 ALTs (!!!) and 51 kids, so it was a lot of people. We all stayed the night there (well, most of us) Wednesday and Thursday night, so by the end of camp everyone was pretty much sleepwalking.

Each ALT got a group of about four people, and Cindy and I combined our 2nensei boys groups so that it was more fun and less awkward. We were in charge of doing a skit, and we ended up doing Harry Potter. Dude, Yasufumi (one of our boys) is totally an Asian Harry Potter, it was a bit freaky! It was actually a fun skit to prepare…I had forgotten the maturity level of 2nensei boys, as they attempted to incorporate as many fart jokes as possible within the five minutes. We also had the backbone of all skit humor….cross-dressing! We needed a Hermione, and since the group was all boys, we had Akihito dress in drag. Oh, it was amusing. He got wayyyy into it! He did his make-up over like three times! A bit worrisome!

Anyway, the camp was a lot of fun. It is nice to see the kids outside of the school setting, as you can actually see their real personalities….plus you can get all kinds of gossip out of them! Woot! I found out what they think of teachers, who is dating who (I know at least one of those should be “whom,” but whatever), etc! I need to hang out with my kids more often ;)

The only bad thing about the camp (other than getting NO sleep) was that the food was UNBELIEVABLY awful. Like, I have never had worse food in Japan EVER. Our first meal was curry, which is the basic “It’s cheap and you can’t fuck it up, so let’s have curry!” meal. Yet somehow they fucked up fucking curry. It was the saltiest shit EVER. It was like a salt lick with brown sauce over it. UGH. All of the meals were awful, and in the entire three days we had like one serving of vegetables. I felt sooooooooooo fat and malnutrition-ed on Friday that my dinner was just a shitload of vegetables. Fucking camp food! Ugh.

But anyway, the camp was way more fun than hanging out in the boring shokuinshitsu, plus I get 2 days of daikyu out of it! Yeeeea!

Munchers

McDonalds' new seasonal snack is the most lesbionic sounding thing I have ever heard of!!!


Yes, you can now go to McDonald's and order Munchers! They should have a campaign in which you get a free Melissa Etheridge with each Muncher purchased! Hrm, actually, I would totally buy Munchers then. Does that make me a lesbian?

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

I just deleted the phone numbers of all of my friends who left from my keitai! That makes their absence much more realistic! Mehhhhhhhhh! Me no rikey! Sniff, sniff.

Damn my Japanese stomach!

On Saturday I met up with Ann at AEON to see Gedo Senki, an anime movie by Hayao Miyazaki’s son. No, I am not a scary otaku, but I usually like Miyazaki’s movies. Well, the same can’t be applied to his son’s, apparently, as it was NOT ADD-friendly and was kinda weird and just annoyed me. Plus it was confusing and I didn’t follow all of it, plus I got sticky dango sauce all over my hands a half-hour into it, so I was just pissed off for like half of the movie, hehe. Oh, well.

After that we met up with Mami and Cindy to get Indian food at Moti in Ota. Sadly we were fucking senior citizens and ate dinner at 5:30?! Talk about the fucking Early Bird Special, yo! That is just creepy. So, that left us with PLENTY of free time afterwards and we had no idea what to do. Mami is awesome and has a car and was like, “Let’s go to Cold Stone in Sano!” Yay! Cold Stone semi-recently opened in the sorta-new part of the outlet mall over in Sano, and I hadn’t been, so that was exciting. We drove there, wandered around for a while, then got us some ice cream.

I hadn’t had Cold Stone since high school, but we all got smalls, and they were apparently smaller than the small size in the States. However, I couldn’t finish the damn thing, felt nasty, and could barely move afterwards! Ugh! This does not bode well for my trip back home. Hrm. It was yummy, but was just too much and too filling!

It was a fun night, though! Thanks for taking us around, Mami! Tanoshikattayo :)

Gokiburi game no more!

I can’t believe I forgot to blog about this story from a week ago! Too lazy to re-write, so I will paste from an E-Mail:

Oh! I don't think I told you about me nearly being killed by a COCKROACH IN MY APARTMENT! K, the cockroach’s version of the story may be along the lines of "Jeff chased me around the apartment as I tried to escape and he smashed me with his shoe," but I stand by my story, god dammit!

Every night I air out my apartment by opening the sliding doors and leaving the screens shut....however, Japanese bugs are sneaky and somehow break into the apartment anyway. Usually it's just mosquitoes and little things that aren't TOO bad (plus I have these amazing (I'm sure cancer-causing) plug-in things that keep mosquitoes away, so it has been better lately). Anyway, on Friday night I went into the kitchen and was washing my dishes when I saw something dark and HUGE move freaking FAST in the corner of my eye! NEVER A GOOD SIGN! It was on the wall but darted behind the refrigerator. I immediately freaked out and got a shoe to smash it with, but it was a sneaky bugger and wouldn't reveal itself! I kept shaking the refrigerator, but to no avail. I then proceeded to move the refrigerator that was heavy and hadn't been moved in probably about two years. When I finally managed to move it, I saw that there was a HUGE FREAKING COCKROACH on the damn wall! AAAAHHHHH! After throwing things at it, it darted across the kitchen with me and my shoe in hot pursuit. Holy crap, I had no idea that they were a) so huge, b) so fast, and c) have freaking WINGS?! What the hell! Finally after much yelling and swearing at it, I managed to introduce him to my friend Mister Shoe, and promptly called Cindy, who had previously had cockroach problems. After proudly proclaiming that I had smashed it, she informed me, "But you're not supposed to smash them, their eggs can fly all over the place!" Ack!!!!!!!! I then ran and got the vacuum and proceeded to vacuum my entire kitchen at 10 PM. Fun times! Gross gross gross! Not fun! So the next day I bought bug bombs and bombed my entire apartment. It still kinda smells funny. Yay, more cancer! So yes, that was my nice relaxing Friday night.

One-Year Anniversary

One year ago today I arrived in Japan….clazy! I don’t think that it has gone overly fast or slow, but it is weird to think of all the things that have happened in the last year. Cindy and I were talking today, and while we DON’T want to be ALTs forever, you can’t deny that the lifestyle is great! Sad, I don’t wanna go home any time soon! Anyway, yay one year!

Herusu Chekku!

Yesterday I was forced to get my first physical since I was like 8 years old, literally. Well, I guess I got a half-assed one before coming here, but still. Anyway, Japanese people are crazy about check-ups and teachers are forced to get one every year, which is good in theory, but I don’t like doctors!

Now in the States if we had to get a physical, we’d have to make an appointment with our doctor, wait for an hour in the waiting room, then wait for another half hour in the whatsit…um. What do you call the little room in the doctor’s office? Anyway, in that room! And you’d have to pay for it, too.

However, thanks to Japanese efficiency (I had forgotten it existed!) and socialized medicine, it took about 5 times longer to bike to the health center and back than the actual physical! It was seriously over in 10 minutes, and it was free! Clazy!

The Nitta Health Center had 2 days set aside for teachers getting physicals, so I biked down there (sweating my ass off, mmm!) and mentally prepared myself to sit and be bored. Man, was I surprised!

First I turned in my paperwork and they immediately directed me to the X-Ray wagon outside?! Um, wtf! It was like a blood drive trailer thing, but for X-Rays. Oh, Japanese people are obsessed with TB because we are in ghetto Asia, so we have to get cancer-causing pointless X-Rays every year. Not only this, but THEY DON’T GIVE YOU ANY LEAD SHIT TO COVER YOU UP. Good thing I don’t want kids ‘cause Jeff is officially sterile now! Also, the lady who takes the X-Ray wasn’t covered in any way either?! Um, NOT SAFE!

After changing my genetic code and turning into a mutant from no lead protection, I was immediately directed to the scale that weighed me and, without my knowledge, had this robotic thing that hit my head to measure me. I totally wasn’t standing up straight AND it freaked the shit out of me when it hit my head! Oh, well. Next they tested my eyes, then directed me to the next booth (these were all at tables with various people in charge of each thing, with NO WAITS at any of them! It was like a health check carnival!) where I was mysteriously given a paper cup and told something in Japanese. I wasn’t sure what he said (believe it or not, I hadn’t learned the word for “urine analysis”), but figured I knew where he was going….but why a paper cup?! That is rather ghetto. Anyway, he was like, “Er, go to the toilet.” Haha. Gross!!! Everyone came out of the bathrooms with paper cups full of urine in their hands! Nastay!

God knows what they did to my pee, then I was directed to the hearing booth and then I was done! I never had to wait for ANYTHING and I didn’t even have to get naked! My kind of physical, yo. Although really not very thorough, now that I think about it, as they didn’t check me at all. Like, shouldn’t they check my ears and throat and stuff? Eh, I don’t care!

Bellybuttons, Matsuris, and Goodbyes

This weekend was matsuri-filled, as Cindy and I met up with other ALTs at the Shibukawa’s Heso Matsuri on Saturday. Shibukawa claims to be the “bellybutton of Japan,” as it thinks it is the center of Japan, geographically. However, it is not the only city that claims this. *shrug* Anyway, because of this, they have the bellybutton festival every year, which is much more fun than normal matsuris! Everyone involved in the parade goes around shirtless (well, the guys) with painted faces on their chests, showing off their bellybuttons. It was really funny….I will have to post pics once I steal them from Shinders.

Cindy and I are already sick of matsuri food (they are ALL the same), so we were American rebels and had our semi-annual McDonald’s fix, which was sadly quite yummy.

At the end of the night, we had to say goodbye to Anna and Jocelyn, as they are leaving this week. EVERYONE is leaving this week! I hate JET, it is not nice to make all of one’s friends leave in the same week! Hrmph!!!

On Sunday I went to the Ota matsuri with Cindy, which was HUGE (for Ota) and ghetto! It was like a normal matsuri, but then they had to trash it up to show Ota culture. There was a random bicycle trick thingy? Like, people on bikes going over bumps and thinking they’re cool. I don’t remember what you call it in English. And there was also some AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL improv rap going on. Oy. And these weird ‘50’s greaser-wannabes “dancing” in the streets? It was too strange to describe. I guess that’s what happens when your matsuri is on the hostess bar strip!

It was fun to go to the matsuri, tho, as I saw 2 3nensei couples holding hands (!!!) that I didn’t know were couples! Ooooo, yay gossip! Cindy has also apparently changed from being my girlfriend to my fiancée, according to my 2nensei! I wasn’t aware of this, were you, Cindy? Does this mean we get presents?

That night we went to Gen to have a goodbye dinner for some of the ALTs….meh!

On Monday we had to say goodbye to Jenny, which was not fun at all!!!! It didn’t really feel like goodbye, but it was sad anyway. I think it will hit me later! I also said goodbye to Sean, but he is touring Southeast Asia and coming back for a couple days at the end of August, so I’ll be able to see him again. Still, it won’t be the same! Mehhhhhhhhhhhh!

So yes, many goodbyes going on right now…..then soon enough we’ll all be meeting the new JETs! I’m excited for that, but I’d rather have my friends NOT LEAVE!

Pointless Pointless Pointless!

While I am glad that it is summer vacation, the days of being a pointless ALT have begun! Friday I biked my ass through an hour of rain to the BOE to waste time until the mysterious shougakkou ALT meeting in the afternoon. It was only me, Cindy, Tom and Robert there, and we were bored out of our minds within minutes! Never a good sign. The meeting was at 3, so we went for a 2 1/2 hour lunch to waste time, when all of a sudden Cindy got a call from our advisor on her keitai. Um, that’s never good! Mr. Goino was like, “Where are you? Didn’t you hear that the time changed? PLEASE HURRY!” We then sort-of quickly walked (hehe) to the BOE, only to find that we weren’t having an orientation that afternoon, but we were teaching shougakkou teachers English for no apparent reason?! Sooooooooooooooo pointless! Cindy and I threw together a half-assed lesson very quickly and then taught it. It went okay. Thank god for back-up games!!!

On Monday we did the same thing (tho I was lazy and trained and taxi-ed to the BOE this time, muahahaha) and it went even better. It was obvious that no one wanted to be there, so we pretty much just wasted time with games. As if shougakkou teachers have a burning desire to learn English for no reason during the summer! At least we were able to escape an hour early and “go back to school.”

Tuesday was the best day of the summer so far, as we attended a 90-minute meeting at Ota City Hall about our upcoming UNESCO English Camp. After that we “went back to school”….which is code for going to AEON and going shopping all day long! Hahahaha. We shopped at AEON for a while, then Genki Sushi-ed it up (sushi lunch for 5 bucks, yeeea!), then I spent far too much money on clothes at Uniqlo. However, it has been forever since I bought new clothes, so that is kind of justifiable….sorta. Yes, a very busy and difficult day being an ALT!

Today is my first day at school with no one to talk to, so there may be a significant increasing in blogging during these days! Stupid fake summer vacation!

Pet Peeve

K, why on TV shows do people always touch their friends'/lovers' positive pregnancy tests?! That is soooooooooooooooooooo gross! I don't care if they are excited that their friend/lover is pregnant, I don't think anyone in real life would celebrate by touching a urine-covered stick! "Congratulations on being pregnant, please let me have your pee all over my hands!!!" Nasty nasty nasty!

While I'm on the most random subject ever, why do people on TV shows always get up at 3 in the morning to make a sandwich? Even if I can't sleep, I never have the burning desire to go in the kitchen and make a sandwich. Doesn't that just wake you up more? I don't get it.

Yes, urine and sandwiches. These are my pet peeves.

Drinking, Yabu-chu Style!

Last night was the end-of-term enkai (drinking party) for Yabuchu and although I wanted to save money (SO POOR) and not go, I was coerced by Morita Sensei and others! Bastards! Anyway, I’m glad I went as it was fun! We always have enkais in fuck-knows-where Kiryu (I swear every street in that city is as wide as me) because I am the only teacher who lives anywhere near Yabuzuka, sad. Fortunately Ms. Kimura picked me up!

Drinks were very much needed that evening, as a 3nensei beat up some 1nensei students with an umbrella after school?!!! Um, yeah! I enjoy drinking with Yabuchu teachers, as I am convinced they drink 10 times more than teachers at good schools! Many schools have boring enkais with only a few teachers, or if they all go a lot of them don’t drink. Almost all of the Yabu teachers drink, and drink a LOT! Woot, my kind of people.

Enkais are abunai, as it is custom to never have an empty glass (or half empty, or even a sip empty, for that matter), so people pour each other beers constsantly. So it is impossible to know how much you actually drank by the end of the night! Abunaiiiiiiyo! They are also abunai because you are given approximately 200 pounds of food (mostly all meat and fish (yes, fish is meat, but not in Japan))!

But yeah, it was a good night! You learn some random shit about your teachers when everyone is drunk! For example, there is this new 1nensei teacher who is always super formal and high-strung and I KNEW he would be a huge lush. A half hour into the party I look over at him and he is the reddest Asian I have ever seen! Not only is his face bright red, but his arms and eyes are, too?! Scary! Anyway, we were bitching about being tall in Japan (he is 185 cm) and I don’t know how we started talking about it, but his dream is to be in the world Monopoly championship?! Crazy! He plays it all the time and wants to be in the next one (apparently it is like the Olympics, as it is every four years, hahaha), but it is in English so he is worried about needing a translator. Dude, that is the most random dream I have ever heard of!

After taking a microbus (damn, we’re organized drunks!) to the 2jikai (second party) we all drank and ate some more, then the night was done. I was dreading calling a cab, as it would be at least 5000 yen, but my gay-as-hell-but-married-with-child teacher offered to drive me home, even tho he lives in the opposite direction! Dude, he is officially the nicest man in the world! I was totally willing to blow him for the ride…..does that make me a slut? I think it just makes me polite!
