At work, near the end of the day, a student was all, "HI" to me and I'm like, you look familiar, but I've not seen you in a long time, ummmmmm, "I'm sorry; I don't remember your name."

"ゆうこ。"

I still didn't remember it. "Oh! It's been a really long time since I've seen you!"

"Yes yes yeah do you know ともこ?"

Tomoko with whom I'm going to TDL on Tuesday? Don't get me in trouble here, please. "Yeah, ともこ, yeah."

She did this to verify I was the right Rob. On her phone she showed me an email I had written to Tomoko saying "I look forward to going to TDL with you!"

"Oh, are you going??"

"Yes yes."

"Awesome!"

Turns out she was in my next lesson with みほ and a different ともこ。 Funny.

orivia's birthday

1:09am JST Sunday 14 December 2003

Today Olivia invited me to her birthday party in 綱島. The timing was convenient for me so I came to the designated restaurant and saw a couple of gaijin there and was like, "hey do you know Olivia?" and they're like, "no" but I know one of the cats and he remembers me from working at Kawasaki and then he's like, "Oh, Olivia; yeah I met her, but we haven't seen any other gaijin here." Turns out Olivia was downstairs with some peeps and I don't know how it all happened but they had just arrived kinda

ANYWAY I hung out with Phillip, Sarah & Kristen (roommates) for a while, chatted with them some. Phillip is from New York; Sarah is from Christchurch (NZ), and Kristen is from Melbourne (OZ). We chatted, chowed a bit and laughed and I traded phone numbers with Sarah who invited me to hang with them for New Year's party. We shall see.

Went down to Olivia's thing and found Morag & Karen (roommates), Olivia & Jen & Grace (roommates), Nina (?), あいこ(student), Lubo (me, Jen, Grace, Olivia's building), and かしひろ(?) (some other Japanese guy that Olivia seemed to like a lot). They had smuggled in some vodka and Olivia took a huge shot (2 ounces) and then offered shots to anyone within reach. I had a sip and O and J were really happy about that. (Oh, they've taken to calling me Robehts, with emphasis on the last syllable.) Morag and I made "oh my gosh they are so drunking weird!" eyes at each other several times. It was funny.

Turns out it is not Olivia's birthday.
