what a day, what a weekend, what a week?

what can i say? i'm suppossed to be sleeping right now but i can't help but ponder the envents that have transgressed over these past few days.

i got invited to my ex's boyfriends birthday shindig (shudders at using the word shindig). i really truly deeply feel sorry for the guy, a 21st like that had to have sucked, i wish there was something i could do other than shake his hand and tell him my name. he seems cool, i don't know if thats saying a lot though, i'll just drop it at that.

seeing grace was another thing altogether, i stood at her doorway for like 15 minutes, and she didn't invite me in, i wanted to leave every minute i was on her doorstep, but i stayed and talked like a true friend should, i saw one old pattern, ok two, that may or may not have been self-induced.

saw the friends talk together, open bitterness was evident at some points, and the sleeky comfortable monotone-ness of friends long known understanding but not speaking, some might call it awkward silences....

haha my roomate said he stopped reading my blog after i made a pissy comment about the music he was playing. one down, millions to go.

once again the point here is not to prove how many people i know by making a post board and see how many people love me, the numbers are slim, hear you me

and the point is not to sum myself up in few words under "favorite movies" and "interests". Though i would put "favorite type of gelatin", that could tell you more about me.
i have friendster for those types of material trivial matters

i got my grades: C, C, A ho hum.

the week has officailly started wierd. i get a legit email from someone who's last name is "He", thats pretty fuckin wierd if you ask me. but anyway

the highlight of today had to be when my dad called me at work, he's never called me at work in my whole life, but today he calls, and get this......

he slowly says "someone wants to talk to you, i want you to speak japanese with her, shes 22"

here i am with my work headset on talking to a japanese girl i've never met, and she ends up coaxing me into asking her to go surfing some saturday, and i talk back with my dad with the wierdest feeling in my heart, like i've been reverse betrayed.

so as my coworker stated: i must have said every single known japanese cliche line known to man. konnichiwa. lets leave it at that
i was so awe struck, i didnt know what to say, i finally pulled it together and asked her some intelligent things in japanese like what what kind of job she had

i almost blundered at the end, but i came up a telephone number and a name ahead of the game, and a date

her name is Minako

in Japanese it means beautiful child.
