Entries this day: Today Tonight

Today

4:14pm ChST Sunday 26 March 2006 (day 13150)

Graduation ceremony this morning after 30 minute meditation in the relatively strong wind with Eri on front deck was pretty good. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't know what to say, but I winged it pretty well. The ceremony didn't last too long in itself, but lots and lots of photographs taken afterward kept us in there forever.... I went to lunch with 4 Fighting Goats (Sugar, Ann, Jerry, Eye) (not Emily nor Carol) in Topaz, and then made origami with Ann in her room until 3pm when I joined Fantastic Rabbits in Hemmingway for a birthday dessert session. Delicious.

During origami, Tomoe from Okinawa popped in for a second as we were basically unable to figure out how to put the pieces of a ball together... I did it in Jerusalem, but couldn't remember how today.

Tonight

In the GET Meeting, we spent some time giving blessings to one another; it was really a nice exercise, and I learned from a lot of people that they didn't really know me. Interesting how I've said I've felt closer with this group than last voyage, but they don't know me.

Did the GET Prom tonight; I didn't do a whole lot, but just helped decorate the Sports Bar. I'm thankful it wasn't tooo smokey in there during the event.

Wrote two 小タイトル tonight, and one of them was lost while I went to top deck to see Michelle perform in some dance troupe. Some hip hop style synchronized dance thing.

Saw Rei with Hitomi (Eye) who are now friends (it seems) ever since Rei killed Hitomi in the 007 game.

Running around trying not to latch onto non-existant waves that have already passed, and just live in the present moment, doing what I need to do. Like the Alphabet Rap with Tony as beat box in Sports Bar. I tried a new thing with it, having him say "A" and then do an 8 count beat then "B" and another 8 counts... it would work pretty well if we practiced it. A couple of times, I got synched up so I would start the corresponding phrase just a half beat after he said the letter. Pretty phat.

Then he skipped a letter. Ooops!
