Yesterday I was really pissed off because Kaoru bailed on coming to the club with me. I lost an hour's pay. I left the club at 23:00 as normal. Whatever! At least I got to eat some really good okonomiyaki at this fancy place in Ginza. I went out to Mask after work and nothing was going on there.
At 00:48 I got a phonecall from the manager at my club asking me what was up. I told him I was still in Roppongi and he asked me if I wanted to go to an SM club. I said sure. Then WH called and said she was coming too. Alright, a party!
So we went to this place in Roppongi, there were a few customers there already. The first thing we did was order drinks and change into costumes. WH wore a cheerleader costume and I put on a maid outfit. I love cosplay!
Then before I could finish my drink and a cigarette big-head manager wanted to tie me up! Okay secretly I have always wanted to be tied up during sex, but I was still wary about it. I said okay.
It was so exciting actually. To give up control of my body. Feeling the knots get tighter and the physical constraint getting stronger as they continued to wrap the rope around my body. I slowly lost my ability to move, I lost a certain normalcy, my physical condition was no longer ordinary, and I loved it. I felt safe, secured by the rope, like it was hugging my entire body.
My clothes were slowly revealing more of my skin and I couldn't do anything about it, the ropes tightened everything. I had to be fed my drink and couldn't stop anyone from touching me.
I got free after a while then tied up by the Japanese girl from our club. She did a much better job. Every time I moved the ropes would feel so good... It was a lot tighter. It took forever to get free of them. Overall, a very nice night, and Workaholic Hostess is a great kisser!
It is clear to me that I have an addictive personality, there are many things I need to stop doing. But! Like OptaMISStik, I have an embarrassing habit I must write about. I see it every day on the way to work, neon colorful, playing happy electronic tunes, an oasis in the middle of Roppongi bars... the Game Center!
But there is more, dear reader, I have but one vice at the game center: the dreaded UFO Catchers!!! Those evil machines filled with the most desirable of plushies. I see those cute faces, piled upon each other, trapped inside that clear cube, guarded by the mindless UFO grabber. I must save them! At all and any cost!
I open my coin purse and lack the 100 yen coins I need. I toughen up and whip out a 1000 yen note, then make my way to the change machine. Do not fear, dear little plushes, I will return for you!
With ten coins I am able to make my attack. I always fail the first time! The second time, I get serious. But I am only able to move that plush slighty. The third try is a charm. I go in for a deep sweep. YES! Success. Two of my friends fall out from their prison.
While I am sure they are grateful for being free of their captor, they long for their friends, the other members of their family, I need the full set! Like a true comrade, I take the sacrifice and feed the machine more of my coins. There is no turning back now. I save the green guy. Tension builds as I continue to falter, my coin purse beginning to feel so light. But I still need to get the blue one!
At last! My collection is complete! The joy I feel is overwhelming, mission accomplished!

Went to Mask after work and met this one customer I know. He was with a Canadian hostess from Ginza. She was kind of stupid but we drank together. Afterward, the customer suggested we go to a strip club, I said sure! I think it's fun. We went for a couple hours and I enjoyed it but the Canadian girl was freaking out, it was her first time in Roppongi.
I requested a blond Russian girl to sit with us and she was pretty friendly; she kept feeling me up. I didn't mind, the new shirt I wore was silky (it is a pajama shirt) and it felt nice to be petted. By the end of the night, I had gotten a private dance and tipped the stripper the Japanese way (which was me laying back on the stage, my shirt unbuttoned, holding the note in my mouth while the stripper rubbed herself on my chest and face, finally taking the cash with her mouth). It was an interesting experience.
I bought the wallet I mentioned yesterday, I love it! But I am keeping it in the box. It is driving me crazy, I need to buy the purse (I put it on reserve). I have a Vivienne Westwood handkerchief, cigarette pouch, and wallet, but I need to buy that purse! Next week...
I stole some tights from Shibuya yesterday. I am kinda stupid. I dreamt that I got arrested last night. I also dreamt of the UFO catchers and stealing plushies out of the bottom of the machine. Yeah I am crazy. Stealing is another thing I need to quit, I will add it to the long list of my terrible addictions.
Yesterday I couldn't do anything all day. I stayed at home stressing about the night ahead of me, hoping that customers would come save me. I stayed in my room and listened to the clock tick for quite a while. It was all very dramatic.
I started getting ready for work an hour ahead of normal. I didn't have anything to do! Even though I took my time, I still finished my hair and makeup too early. I sat outside and chainsmoked then walked to work.
When I got to work I talked to the manager, with a smile on my face being friendly. The first thing he said to me was, Oh, you came without a douhan? This was not the first thing I wanted to hear. I told him that I really hope these people I called would come in to request me tonight and that I really tried my best. He told me that I should have done that a long time ago, and that some hostesses do this everyday. He was being a dick for no reason. I told him that I was following his instructions and bringing in a customer as he asked of me, so what was the problem? He said that there was no guarantee that I wouldn't get fired and that he didn't want to hear my excuses. I stopped talking.
Guitar guy showed up not long after the club opened and reqested me so I was relieved, but he told me that he probably would not be able to see me again before I leave. I dunno, I can't help that. He didn't stay long, which I was glad about because Kimura showed up! I was so happy that he showed up, I had been bugging him all day about coming. He was taller than I expected and sat across the room. I was sitting with Smily guitar guy so WH sat with our new customer.
After a while I joined them. It was kinda interesting, three people who know each other from the internet in the same spot. I have gone to lots of internet meets before, but this was kind of bizarre, the circumstances and characters. Anyway, not long after, WH's friend Baldy showed up and along with Dancer girl we had a big party. Baldy sang quite well and with intensity... Dancer girl was in tears laughing at him. Overall it was quite entertaining and I was thrilled to have their company.
After the guys left, I had to sit with the Romanian girl's customer. It was sort of strange because Drunk boss told me to go sit with him before the other girl. I dunno if he requested me or what but the Romanian girl joined us shortly afterward. They were in the middle of a big fight and I tried to calm them down... But it was hopeless. I just chilled and smoked until I was told to go. The manager told me not to be late on Monday.
I went out for really, really, delicious spaghetti with WH, Dancer girl and Baldy. I got reprimanded by WH for having unsafe sex. I am so stupid, I know! I will never let it happen again. I got a condom from Baldy and I am gonna carry it around with me now. Feels weird but if I am sleeping around then I should be smart.
After the wonderful spaghetti (I am not sure if it was truly really good or if I just haven't had pasta in months, probably both) Baldy went home and we girls went to shisha and had a drink. Dancer girl really dances! As if in a music video. We left not long after.
Dancer girl went over to WH's house and I stayed in Roppongi for a while longer. Nothing interested me. I was walking home and saw some white guy standing very tourist-like, seemingly lost. I asked him if he was okay, he said yeah and that I was really kind to ask, he thought it was great. Whatever. I started walking but he came after me and asked me if I was hungry. I said no I was going home. He kept on trying to buy time with me but I kept declining. He told me he wanted to take my photo. He told me he was a photographer and he wanted to take my pictures.
I thought it was a joke but he gave me a card. The naked figure on the back of the business card made it clear what sort of photos he wanted to take. I listened to him though. I thought it was interesting. I asked him if this was the way he tried to pick up girls. The conversation lasted far too long, probably because we were both a little drunk. I started walking home.
I called the number on the card on my way and told him my name. I dunno if he will call me again. I went home and slept.
I stayed in bed for several hours yesterday feeling kinda bad, but got up after dark and went to Roppongi. I had promised the guy at Mask that I would come. He owed me money anyway, only about 5000 yen, but still, that is something! About ten percent of the bag I wanna buy!
After I got bored of the place (no customers), I went to visit a few other bars. Nothing was happening. I was going to go home when I heard a male voice call my name, Anna??
It was his voice that made me recognise him more than his image, but I immediately remembered him and said his name. This weird Japanese guy I had a brief romance with last summer! He got sacked at JPMorgan and works for Mitsubishi UFJ now. He is still too rich for his own good and we went for a few glasses of champagne at Tokyo Midtown orange. He seemed way too happy to see me. We chatted about what has happened since last summer.
He had been drinking with his customer and was on his way home. He insisted I take a taxi to my house, I said sure. He kissed me several times in the taxi, then I left. I know he hardly has any time, so who knows if he will see me again.
Tonight is a fateful night for me! I hope everything works out at work and they let me stay for a couple more weeks.
I met Akiyoshi last night. He cut his hair. He is well on his way to becoming a genuine salaryman.
We had a couple drinks at Crossover and then a shot of tequila each. Then we went to Nijyu Maru, where we drank a bottle of sake and then three 500ml bottles of wine. He can handle alcohol quite well, compared to other Japanese guys his age I have met, but I am still stronger. He got drunk and sat next to me.
He told me that he was surprised at his internet girlfriend Lisa. He went to visit her in Germany earlier this summer and he was shocked that she was a lot bigger than he thought she was. Webcams lie! She is not going to university and does not speak Japanese so he is no longer considering her a girlfriend.
In his drunkeness he admitted a few things to me. One, he had a serious foreign girl fetish. I told him he should just meet some nice Japanese office lady, not mess with crazy foreign girls. He also told me that he had been working as a host in Kabukicho earlier this summer. He had just wanted to try it for a bit but he is thinking about going back to work there until his salaryman job begins next year (he is going to be a buyer for Don Quihote).
Anyway, we both got drunk and we were going to go to a love hotel, he went and spent almost 2000 yen on condoms at the drugstore. But then I got a phonecall from this one customer, and I ditched Akiyoshi to try to make some money. Sorry dude!
I drank a more and had some food, but got no bottle. Oh well. Tonight it is back to the club and then tomorrow I am going to get my tattoo done, finally!!
Yesterday I was super bored so I put up my hair, changed my clothes, and hit the streets. Something usually happens when I am walking around the city aimlessly.
Happened quite quickly last night. I was walking toward Roppongi and a couple guys tried to talk to me. They turned out to be Canadian-born Hong Kong dudes. One was tall, fit, and extroverted, and his friend was short, bespectacled, and introverted. The former was in the Canadian military and his sidekick was an IT worker in Tokyo. They were kind of funny so I hung out with them for a bit. Until the wine bottle ran dry. Army dude asked for my number and I gave it to him.
Afterward I hung out at Bar Mask (where I have done drink back before). I took advantage of free drinks and sang some karaoke with the lonely owner. When I got bored, I went out again. As I was crossing the road, I ran into Clair's older brother. I was shocked. He told me it was his last night in Tokyo and hugged me in the middle of the intersection. Wow okay.
He told me he had been drinking with Sara, and was heading home, but now he would join me for one last drink. I told him he did not have to, his flight back to Paris was in the morning, but he insisted. We found Sara and her new boyfriend (cap-wearing street lookin dude), along with a bunch of Frenchies. We had a drink at Copacabana (I hate that place) and then split.
I went to another bar for a while and watched this cute Afghani guy play darts. I was looking for his boss but she was not there, so I left. I ran into Sara again and we had McDonalds. Why do I always end up at McDonalds when I am drinking on days off?
Anyway, I was bored again today but remember Akiyoshi? Yeah, he wants to meet me in Roppongi tonight. I am off to meet him at the spider.
I mentioned Kazuo before. I met him last month, once. He has been calling me every week, usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday, asking to hang out. I always have work and say no. Or I just ignore his call altogether.
Last night he called me around 23:30. I was writing so I ignored it. He called a half an hour later and I picked it up. He said it was his birthday and that he was celebrating. He asked me if I was in Roppongi and I said no, I was at home. He invited me to go drinking with him in Roppongi, and for some reason, I said sure. Free drinks, why not. I had slept a lot during the day (making up for about a month of continued sleep deprivation) so I felt genki.
I was surprised when he was alone at the crossing. I had expected all his goofy friends to be with him. But he was alone. I understood the situation. I felt stupid suddenly, I usually would have known. Right off the bat, I asked him what he wanted and he said it was difficult to say. I reprimanded him for inviting me out like that, but I joined him for a drink.
I told him I had a boyfriend so his advances were a little inappropriate. He asked me if the guy was in America or if he was Japanese. I said Japanese. He seemed relieved. He said that he would still try me in that case, but if I had a serious boyfriend back home, he would respect that. I know that I have only been seeing Yusuke for a few weeks, but there is a definite boyfriend&girlfriend vibe going on, he calls me daily and makes date plans. I felt loyal to him for a bit. That loyalty disappeared, as I had hoped and planned, after a couple shots, and I said okay to going to Shibuya with him. He reminds me so much of Hajime, I could not resist.
So yeah, we took a cab to Shibuya and went to a love hotel. It was around 2 AM.
Sex was really, really, really good. We left the hotel around 8 am. He walked me to the station. He lives in Shibuya and walked home.
I slept for a couple hours and showered. I have to meet Yusuke in 30 minutes. I have a small love bite on my neck.
I definitely want to see Kazuo again.
I have a whole month left in Japan. I feel like I have been here a long time already, but just two-thirds of my stay is finished. My room mate seems alright. Right now she is sleeping. She works in Roppongi at night, and showed up while I was sleeping, very early in the morning today. She cleaned up a bunch of her stuff and put it away, so our room is much more livable now.
Yesterday after work I went to have a drink at Crossover so I could apologise to Daisuke for being drunk and silly last time I saw him. He brought it up before I did, You were drunk last time, huh? I told him yes, and sorry for my stupid behavior. He laughed at me and said it was nothing. We talked a little about both of our vacations, and I left after finishing my drink. The ball is in his court.
Kinda bored. I need to go to the grocery store but the nearest one closed early yesterday (probably because of Obon) and it is usually closed on the weekends. Today is Saturday and I do not have much to do. I used to hang out with Takahashi on the weekends, but I have not spoken to him in weeks.
I have five days off work. Tomorrow Yusuke wants me to go with him to Yokohama from 10 in the morning... And suggested we go to Asakusa at 7 in the evening. What a long time! Asakusa is boring! I do not have many better things to do with my time, but it will be so hot and humid and I do not want to be walking around aimlessly anywhere. So if I do end up going, he better have a solid plan and it should involve air-conditioned spaces. I missed a call from him today when I was in the bathroom. I wonder if he will call again.
Anyway, he cannot come to my house since I have a room mate. And he, like the true parasitic Japanese university student he is, lives with his rich mommy and daddy. So if he wants to have sex, he is going to have to pay up for a hotel. Curious to see what happens tomorrow, sort of like a test. If he asks me to pay for anything, it will be the last time I see him.
I emailed the tattoo artist from last year, and I have consultation Monday evening about a new tattoo, and plans to get it done on Friday. Excited!
The global sustainibility seminar is over! Last night we had a big goodbye party with food and drinks and speeches. I requested champagne for the party and my wish was granted! No good party is ever complete without champagne, I say. I drank a bunch of sake and shochu as well, and ended up reading peoples' palms and making inappropriate jokes in the hotel lobby.
Up until this morning as I was waiting for the bus back to Tokyo from Shonan, I had no idea where I was going to live. Right before I got on the bus, the landlord of the place I had been staying in before contacted me. He said I could move back in!
So right now I am back in Nishi Azabu in the same room, but it is filled with this Filapina girl's shoes and clothes and cosmetics. I think she works at night in Shinjuku; I have not met her yet though, she has a day job.
Anyway, I've just showered and feel free again! Going back to Roppongi to work one night before Obon yasumi begins next week. I have no other responsibilities for the summer. It is nice to hear the 5 oclock bells again!
Yesterday was a bit stressful. I am not very fond of working in groups, and working with six very smart and opinionated students on one project has been very tiring, we argue more than we agree and it is taking ages just to decide on a viable thesis.
Yusuke, that graduate student from Todai, and I have been mailing each other off and on for the past couple days. He called me in the afternoon and suggested we meet at night, but with work it is really inconvenient for me. We had planned on going to the Tokyo bay fireworks this Saturday, but I secretly wanted to see him before the weekend. I said I would call him back.
After school, I was supposed to meet my professor for dinner because she wanted to check up on us, to hear our concerns, in a more private setting. It was very kind of her; she heard me out (I complained about a lot of things in the program) and fed me! That is all I need from the world, an ear to complain to and good Japanese food.
I had to leave the dinner early and rush to Roppongi for work, I was almost late. At work I told Yusuke to meet me at Takadanobaba station at 12:30. He said he would be there. I felt so rebellious, thinking of bringing him to my dormitory. Work was slow... I drank a little white wine and left early around 23:30.
Some dude tried to talk to me at the station as I was waiting for Yusuke. I was so glad to meet up with him again. I think he is cool... We went for a drink at the Cotton Club (I have been wanting to go there ever since I moved to Waseda) then to my dorm. We were trying to be sneaky, but Yu, the Japanese guy from my class (only person who knows I work at night) spotted us just as we were entering my room. Haha... A little awkward, the two guys ignored each other. Yu thinks I am some kind of whore.
Yusuke spent the night in my small room, I didn't want to go to school today... But I am here and I better get back to work. I think I like him... I can't wait to see him again on Saturday.
