Oliver!

4:39pm JST Monday 18 May 2009 (day 14299)

Saw Oliver! with Soness, Pushpa, Tomoko and Johnny yesterday. Can't really say Johnny was with our group exactly, but I sat by him in the front row stage right, and the three others sat across the aisle in stage center seats. Johnny was the lead actor in _Forum_ last year. He vaguely remembered having taken pictures with U-Cow after one of the shows.

Oliver! was great, and the first time I had ever seen it performed anywhere. Afterward I hug-met Kelly H (who I know from Soness' BBQ), Lou (my friend Louise from back in Gaba days), who directed the show, Caitlin (big applause tonight) and Gemma (soft g sound) out with whom Ami and I went for drinks last year after _Forum_. Also met E, Ken, and a man named Nate who thought I looked familiar, but I'm not sure that I've met him before. Gave him my card though.

I wore a suit to fit the scene, and left my shtuffs at Soness' crib, so basically had to go back to her house in Chigasaki last night to bring my stuff home today.

questions

5:02pm JST Monday 18 May 2009 (day 14299)

Soness asked about my reasons for not drinking, and part of the story included how in high school I was never invited to the drinking parties. That conversation branched off to me being in rifle corps and some guys saying I was gay cause of that (which I'm not). Soness goes, "well you can't gloss over that so quickly," given that I've told her of the times I've been with men. I explained, however, that those experiences were essentially guys performing on me, and one of the times I was paid $100 for the experience.

"So basically you'd be a prostitute," she said.

"Hmmm, well, yeah, except for concerns about disease." STDs are basically my only concern in that arena. "I have considered being a porn star; I understand they are pretty careful about that kinda stuff."
