Nina housemate

9:30am JST Monday 2 March 2009 (day 14222)

This morning when I went down for my shower, I was wearing just towel and no corrective eyewear. Someone was at the sink, and when she said, "good morning," I knew she must be Nina. I was feeling a bit late, plus a bit uncomfortable meeting her while in towel, but perhaps moreso because I couldn't really see her. Something about visual communication would make it easier in my mind, so I was just like, "good morning, uh sorry excuse me" and whooshed down to the shower.

I thought about how that musta been from Nina's POV. Not necessarily a great greeting, so I resolved to apologize and 'splain myself. I thought I would have my chance while still in towel, but it turned out to be Manuel in the kitchen instead of Nina. HI to him briefly, the headed upstairs for clothes and contacts, then knocked on her door, "Nina?"

"yeah?"

And she emerged a moment later,

O M G you are tall! I thought, and almost lost my braincells all over the floor, but managed to apologize for my first intro, and to *not* ask her if she wanted to join me for dinner tonight, but instead was like, "yeah so if you need any help or have questions just bang on the wall or come around to my door..."

Just finished a little dental appointment. They recovered two spots they had covered previously, from which those covers removed themselves recently. I also asked them about a spot that would cut through my dental floss with just a few swipes. They uncovered a hole the size of California (*) and filled it in with a similar cap. So that my floss doesn't remove the cap, I'm now supposed to floss into the gap, but horizontally out instead of vertically. I guess that'll mean I floss that spot last, so I can finish with the horizontal floss flourish instead of a vertical jerk with cap removal. In other news, I've got a bit of a silly crush on りょこ's smile and attempts at English. Invited her to call me for English lessons. She said she's busy cause she is looking for a new job in addition to her current one.
