another day off...

I was told not to come to work, again. I am kinda pissed because that means I am losing hours and opportunities but it cannot be helped, so I am being patient. Hopefully I can go back to work on Monday.

Last night was a bit of an adventure. I went out with my room mate (who is moving out tomorrow, I guess this place is not convenient for her job). When I was waiting for her at Roppongi crossing, some random drunk Japanese university student named Ryujiro started talking to me in English and asked if I wanted to go out drinking. I told him okay but we had to wait for my friend. He was sort of silly and went to buy some noodles at the convini. I only tolerated him because he was a little good-looking, in a silly drunk college student way.

We met up with some of his friends and went to the bar where (I guess he is my friend now) Daisuke works. I was a little concerned about showing up with the drunk Ryujiro because I did not want Daisuke to think he was some sort of boyfriend, but luckily Ryujiro's friends came along. We had some tequila and talked. They went to catch the last train.

Afterward me and my short-lived roommate went dancing in a few different bars. I think I danced to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean 4 or 5 times. I heard him being played everywhere in Roppongi. There were a lot of cops out last night as well, felt like I was in a police state. Police are usually quite visible in Japan but especially yesterday, they were nearly lining the streets and corners in Roppongi. We said good night to Daisuke and went home to sleep.

My roommate agrees that Daisuke's smile is extremely charming. But he probably smiles at everyone like that.
