Breakup with Ami ka na

1:10pm JST Sunday 3 May 2009 (day 14284)

I told Ami I can't break up with her because she cries. Told her I want to break up with her right now. right now And she cried.

(that's a summary of our three hour conversation (*))

(and it continues)

- - - -

Basically, we did a rehash of past conversations, getting through to the core: I want to break up, and she doesn't.

- - - -

(*) It all started when I asked Ami if she'd like to come to The Pink Cow tonight to meet Soness, et. al., and then head to Soness' place tonight for fun and chillin', where, in the morning, I'm already planning to meet Soness at 9 to help in her garden and her couch-surfin' friends are going to the beach. Figured Ami could join them at the beach and then I'd get some money from helpin' Soness; Ami would get some fun from the beach, and everything would be great.

Ami seemed concerned that I had apparently forgotten she has a lunch scheduled with her friends tomorrow, and that when we talked about me coming back from Chigasaki tomorrow, it wouldn't be too late. Actually we didn't specify a time, only that 9 or 10pm was やだ in Ami's mind.

Subsequently got a bit deeper into it; Ami compared me to a playa, and how could I love her and still want to leave her. And then a bit deeper: I hate Japan; I hate Japanese language; I don't want to be here.

Soon I was like, "I want to break up right now."

Then broke through to the next core, at least on Ami's side: she's still hurt after her mom's death in November. ま, of course, and I know that intellectually, but didn't realize how much she still feels it.

She said something like, "everyone important leaves me" (and therefore) "please don't leave me."

I suggested that we do some ISIS, but ended up just doing some eye contact meditation and third eye meditation instead. Figured full-blown ISIS was too much to explain at the moment.

Then, after making and eating pancakes together, I suggested she write a two page letter to her mom. Needs to get through this pain.

Email

I now have a Pink Cow email address. Traci wasn't receiving emails from one of her addresses, and I looked to see what was up and the forwarding was going to some strange addresses. I added her personal address to the list, but need to talk to Nao about what it *should* be, etc.

He was supposed to hook me up with admin access to the Cow-Go website, but I haven't been notified that he's done as much.

In Shibuya. Headed to The Pink Cow Now.

Washington Mutual crap CSR

Washington Mutual is now Chase!!

Hello kind person

I want you to know my concern and anger is *not* addressed with you.

However, I'm really really really really getting angry about the horrible level of service I have
received from this bank.

As soon as I get my Master Account thing signed and sent in to you, I am absolutely closing my
accounts because the CSR level has turned to absolute and utter tripe in the past few months.

Most recently, I requested a payment be made to my credit card for $10.  The transaction failed
because you don't have my Master Account thing.  Fine.

BUT FUCKING TELL ME GODDAMMIT!!!!  Now I have to fucking pay my credit card a fucking extra fee
because your shitfaced fucked up fucking system didn't let me fucking know it conveniently decides
to NOT PAY THEM!  FUCK!!

I'm fucking pissed and I'm fucking closing my account.

I imagine that I "can't" (*) close my account until you get my Master Account thing signed, and I
hope you guys enjoy the interest you're getting while keeping my money hostage.

I'll get the form signed.  I'll send it to you.

Then I will get my money OUT, and you will *never* ever see any money from me again unless you do
something REALLY REALLY useful to win back my faith in your customer service ability.

And unless something really really good happens soon, this message is going onto my blog and
Facebook and my journal and links on twitter, usenet and everything else I can think of.

(*) I put "can't" in quotes, not as emphasis, but to emphasize it's only due to their rules that I'd be unallowed to close the account. So pissed about this.

at the Pink Cow

11:32pm JST Sunday 3 May 2009 (day 14284)

Met Naoki at 5pm; he signed up for Cow-Go, and scheduled four lessons with me over the next two weeks, with a likely 12 lessons over the six weeks after that!

Chilling and eating (*) the buffet, waiting for Soness, Ben and Jen to arrive, I met Jodi, who knew one of the performers in tonight's Cow-Jam.. Actually didn't get to talk to her too long; Traci invited me to meet her mom(!), who's cool as well as in town, given that I facingly met her in The Pink Cow.

(*) I wanted an adverb before eating so it could be "chillingly eating" (**)

(**) Ben points out I had no worries so I was carelessly eating the buffet! hahaha

Traci's mom, whose name I don't know, seemed well-traveled and quite interested in the ISIS work I've done with Clairvision, as well as work with my men's group. She's from Cali, has lived in Brazil (and probably other places, かな) and I look forward to seeing her again during the month that she'll be here!

Soness sat for a chat and a impromptu hand reading, during which T-mom said, "wow; very interesting!" a lot, until Soness was pulled away by her friend who needed to leave within 20 minutes.

Lindsey Leslie arrived and gave me a bit of a shouldery massage while I was talking to T-mom, and then we (Leslie and I) switched places, and then Soness came back all, "hey when am I going to get *my* massage?" So I gave her a massage while we watched the end of David's performance featuring Yes-C on drums, and Ben's entire performance, featuring David on drums.
