I'm judging you.

Yesterday was fun~ As usual, however--I think I've decided to hold off on going to these alone anymore >_>; It's way too intimidating and I feel like...I'm making THEM feel bad because they think I'm bored with no one to talk to which I am, but not bored enough to talk to some of the Japanese girls thaaaaanks

I headed straight home after work and changed clothes...and decided what the hell, I WAS GONNA BIKE THERE. This was actually quite easy--I live right off of Ookubo-doori, and the event hall was ON Ookubo-doori so...straight shot from my apartment XD Also, I gotta tell you how awesome it felt to pull up with this long line of girls and just hop off my bike, lock it up, and saunter over to take my place in line with 5 girls going, "SUGEE! She lives around here?!" 8DDDDD YUP BITCHES, I DO.

One of the girls there actually turned out to have been one of the girls taking gads of pics at the Mt. Rock BBQ event a few weeks ago, and she brought along an album (zomg memories ;_;) including prints of a group shot that she gave out to those of us who'd gone. So nice!

I also realized, randomly, that it was SUPER smart of me to ride my bike there because...IT GAVE ME AN EXCUSE NOT TO DRINK 8D I always feel bad; I just don't like booze, but Japanese people don't seem to understand the concept of just not liking the taste of alcohol, and are always like, "omg why aren't you drinking anything?? :( does booze make you sick?" but with my handy dandy "I came by bike ^^;" I had the, "NO DRINKING AND DRIVING. INCLUDING BIKING" law on my side :D

The whole thing passed pretty quickly--Iwashita-san was his usual self, which resulted in LOTS of Tachibana bashing XD

BTW -- in case you missed it, TACHIBANA IS KG'S NEW LEADER! Apparently the members decided if they didn't do something to stop Tachibana from becoming a bum, he was doomed, so they decided to give him some responsibility in the form of being the new Leader XD Congrats, KG Leader!

For this event, Iwashita-san was in the toilet, and Tachibana was behind the curtain (which worked out nicely, since for Iwashita-san's last time with Gaku, he'd been behind the curtain--whereas Tachibana had been in the toilet when he hosted with Yasu). I was actually pretty nervous to talk with Tachibana because...well, HE was nervous :P I hate it--I mean, I can talk (relatively) fine with Nagayan now because I dunno, he pretty well understands I can speak Japanese, and Iwashita-san is a given because we share the bond of talking while he was piss-ass drunk. Most of these guys I see with any sort of frequency I'm not that nervous speaking to now. But most of KG still scares the pants off of me, much like most of (...okay, ALL of) *pnish* XD;

However, surprisingly...it was pretty okay! I got back there with him and we were sitting down, and he kind of starts giggling nervously, and I just broke the ice going, "You nervous?" and...it went pretty smoothly. I don't even remember what we talked about, but I guess it couldn't have been that bad.

They had a corner at the end where everyone played janken to win random prizes, and I won...a KG towel and a pair of plastic coke-bottle-lens glasses Tachibana wore as a prop for some show he didn't even remember the name of. YAY.........XD;;;;

In other news: I still start shaking when I think about being in that elevator. I THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM. Tomorrow is Tokyo Gaisen opening day, and I have 8th row center tickets :DDDDD GOD I LOVE LIFE. Senshuuraku is Sunday (I'll see the Live viewing in Shinjuku), and I'm zomg excited ;_; But really sad it's almost ending...

OH HAY BTW ACCORDING TO TACCHAN BURIMYU PHOTOSHOOT WAS THE OTHER DAY. UMM, WHAT?! Only normal clothes, apparently (he said character stuff is later?) Also, he saw a nameplate that read "Tsuchiya Eiji" (same kanji and everything). I don't want to fucking hear about that >(

I paid off my Korea trip today and am poor as SHIT >_> (well, I still have money...but, like, seriously all but a few hundred dollars is promised to other ventures like ticket-getting and rent XD;;;;;;) I need to sell some of this stuff I don't use and don't need...anyone want a nice clarinet? :D
