MOAR DOOM

So this weekend was nuts...as always. So I was going to have a nice quiet evening cruising with some friends in town, just what I wanted since I drank WAY too much the week before. So I head into town...and I soon notice I do not have my cell phone. ARGH! So I get there thinking...numbers..do I know any? I do not. Keitai Mails... Keitai Mails... well that was also a fail. So after maybe 15-20 minutes of deliberation, and looking (I knew Charity was somewhere there) I decide CRAP! I need to go back home. I'm so lost without my cell phone its not even funny =( So by the time I get back its like 9:30 and I do not want to go back out.

Charity, the JET from Yoshi (way out in stickville) had also come into town and I was going to meet her at some point but basicly I was like ok HELL NO! Please come to Futsukaichi and we can eat and what not here. So after some deliberation and convincing she comes down, she kinda wants to party and I kinda want to show her all the wonderful things Dazaifu, Chikushino can offer. So we go to the local warawara, and it kinda blows. The service was AWFUL and the food took FOREVER to get there. By the time we leave the restraunt its close to 11! And I'm kinda tired, but either way Charity came in from Yoshii so I decide to take her to an izakaya and get a drink before heading off to Karaoke and then hopefully sleep.

We go to an izakaya I had been to before..just once. I knew it was nice and a bit pricey, but Charity was on the look out for good looking guys and I thought, the guys ARE good looking there I guess. (there are 5 bartenders there for some odd reason..) So we take a drink but decide since its expensive here we should take shots! And they have TONS of alcohol I never see anywhere (like Jeiger) So we take some shots and they are just BLOWN out of the water at our (tsuyosa) So thats is just awful for Kristen, because they were just blown away by Charity's strength~! And completely ignoring the fact I'm drinking more...thus the competetive stupid in me comes out and I decide well...ohoho you think THATS strong! So we start drinking up a storm, and its really good. Good quality, they actually shake our drinks, make it really nice, etc, etc. Soon weve been invited into the underground mixing studio/dance floor. And were chatting up the bartender, haveing a fairly fun time. Long story short we run up an impressive bill, we've both drinken god knows how much AND I have consumed some 95% alcohol VODKA. We still stumble to Karaoke, and by the time I get home I'm wasted! (in soo many ways)

Still I get up early the next morning (after 4 hours of sleep) and go off to meet Yamato and some other friends. Were going to hang out with some Japanese guys. It's nice but the day kinda wears on and we hang out way longer than any of us plans. It wouldve been nicer to cut it short and not be exausted and kinda relieved to go home. I get home aronud 11, despite the fact I had planned to be home at 6, and instantly pass out. It was nice, and pleasant but not all worth while. Oomori koen was cool and it was wierd we were all going to these date like places, but I dont think ANY of us had any chemistry going on so it was all kinda wierd. I also won like 100 of these candy things from UFO catch type machine (100 pieces of I dont think I really like it candy...)

So I sleep at maybe 1130 and get up at 10! And I'm still a bit tired, still I try to soldier on, I want to do laundry and cleaning. Instead matt rings up and asks to take him to the nittori (home store) and I agree since I have car. We stop off at the youme town to see if its a better selection and it seems a bit pricey, still we stop off for some food and I realize wow matt does get stared at..ALOT. After we realize the place is a bit expensive we head off to the nitori anyhow, driving around is not so bad. But we land up spending the vast majority of the day going here and there. And as I'm filling up gas to go home, a CRAZY kei car come hurtling my way down this TINY TINY road, barely fitting even my car let alone two. I realize quickly hes not going to stop AND hes going to hit me straight on, so I quickly pull to the side slam my rims into the side walk AND the kei car still almost rips my side windows off. It's no joke, Fukuoka drivers are some of the worst drivers in Japan. Very scary in-deed, I totaly regret taking the long way home to get myself more oriented on where I live (since I have LEGENDARY bad direction sense)

Get home, decide I really want to get a new battery charger so I can take pics of my students with the silly game I have. Realize I have no money and all ATM's in Japan close at 7 on Sunday(zOMG) even the konbini ones, so I pay for it via the credit card, and then have no money for food. And realize crap I was supposed to win some mini mouse doll for a student (I thought I had one but apperanlty I gave it away already...and already said I'd give it away..) And in the end with just 500 yen in the one machine that had mini goods, I failed...and had just 500 yen left, 300 of which I need to use to get home, so in that last try I get it! (I realize the reason why it was so hard to pull was because two dolls are stuck together and land up with two! wOOt)

Do some stuff like hang my laundry and then off to bed, and still I get up pretty giri due to freak morning cold. So cold my windows on my car were covered in a fairly thick layer of icey condensation. Go to my first class, a class I like but one that is affectionately known as "the zombie class", "the dead class", "funeral class" etc. So I thought theyd be jazzed with the first game we play, BUT NO! One of my fav students lands up in tears being picked to be the example, and for the rest of the class is just kinda spaced out in the corner! Every other class had a SUPER fun time, but this class is just too self concious and easily embaressed...ugh that felt crappy. Also I am getting fat and bloated (From too much alcohol me thinks) So overall a very mixed bag weekend. =/ so I end with, DOOM! DOOOM!....... doom.
