I got a bunch of new stuff!

Last night I gave into the UFO catchers again and won three Mario Kart plushies. A red mushroom, green koopa shell, and a sparkly super star. Sooo cute!

Today I spent a zillion yen on the Vivienne Westwood bag. I love it so much... I am just going to use it for a couple days then put it away while I am traveling through Viet Nam. It is so cool, love it!

I am ignoring phone calls like it is nobody's business. My brother is back in Tokyo but I don't know if I can see him. My sleep schedule is too inconvenient to meet day time people. Guy from the sex club wants to meet me tonight for a drive... and says he will come to the club Thursday night. Nice!

Better get ready for work. It is almost over!

Happening bar was pretty cool, but it was totally not happening for me. It was a little troublesome getting in, kinda strict about foreigners, you had to be able to speak Japanese and fill out a form (a few other gaijin were denied because their Japanese was not up to par, the staff stressed the importance of communication). I had to return to Nishi Azabu from Shibuya to get my passport, entrance cost about 20,000 yen all together, but we got in relatively easily.

At the end of the night, I was left sort of unsatisfied. I tried! With two different Japanese guys, but both of them were unable to perform very well (I experienced the quickest session in my life). They might have been too nervous about the whole thing (both were newbies like me) or alcohol had something to do with it. Probably a mixture of both. Baldy didn't get lucky either and spent most of the night on the sidelines.

Overall though, it was a cool experience. Liberating, kinda like the first time you try public bathing or onsen (not everyone was naked though, only in the designated sex rooms). The clientele were all very friendly and there was no creepiness at all. The place was quite big (the building used to be a love hotel) and quite busy. There were the type of people you would expect to be there (older unattractive men) but lots of normal people too! Several young-ish couples and singles hung out and got busy, and the older guys were mostly voyeurs.

I didn't see anything I would want to erase from my memory, and to be honest, I thought it was all pretty hot. I got to try some things I've been curious about (namely, another girl, was not disappointed with her) and I met a guy there who is quite familiar with the whole scene. He gave me his number, I might call and go somewhere else with him.

I got home around 6AM and went to bed. I need to go all the way to Saitama for the GAZETTE TODAY!!! Yay!! The concert starts at 17:00 so I better get going.

Slept with Kazuo in Shibuya yesterday.

Had dinner and cocktails with Kazufumi tonight in Shibuya.

Getting fat due to endless alcohol and lack of sleep.

Worried, so worried about returning to a mundane life, no city lights, no ambulances nor police sirens. No bars and no love hotels, back to that misery. Back to studying and low-grade ecstasy. No salary, no Maruii, no taxis and no sushi. Fuck, only 3 weeks from now.

Thanks to mallocup for finding the video of the earthquake bit on TV I was a part of. They make me seem super silly in the video but oh well.

Didn't go to work tonight and hope that I get fired tomorrow. It is my last week in Japan... and I don't know if I can return next year. I need to prepare for my trip to Viet Nam.

I need to stop the spinning, I have had enough, something has got to give, I cannot go on living this way, my body has been suffering, my mind has had enough. God help me.

I went to Shibuya yesterday and stared at the Vivienne Westwood bag and wallet I want to buy at O1O1 for several minutes. This is not the first time I have done it. I want to buy them so bad, but I just cannot afford them. I bought a 1000 yen VW handkerchief instead. I must buy that purse!

As I walked in Shibuya, I got interviewed by some guys from Fuji TV! They asked if I could speak Japanese, I said a little. They asked me about what I thought about the earthquakes this summer, as a foreigner, and I said they were kinda fun and interesting to me. Not a cause of concern. They thought it was a little strange. Anyway, I am famous now!

On my walk home, Yusuke called me and we made plans to meet up at night, after I finished work. I went to work and was fine until I was told that I needed to take a day off today and that if I could not bring a customer in on Friday, it would be my last day. I was really pissed because I hate being under control. But I had to think. Hopefully tomorrow will work out, and customers will come and request me!

I was sent home early too. I went and drank a few strong drinks at Mask and then met up with with Yusuke. We went to Shinjuku and had dinner at this udon place. I drank straight shochu at the restaurant and bought a bottle of sake at the convini. I was sort of in a bad mood, but I wanted to enjoy my night with Yusuke. I wanted to get high, I wanted some sort of release, but alcohol does not provide that for me, no matter how much I drink. But he was kind to me and eased my nerves.

We went to a hotel and spent the night there. We left around 11:30 this morning. He wanted to take me to this architecture exposition near Roppongi so we went. I was not feeling very good, hot flashes and general malaise. We had lunch (helped me feel better) and I walked home. I showered and slept a bit this afternoon.

My computer will not start after a check disk run. Really frustrating but it was having problems already and I think it might be dead. I am going to ask my brother's friend who studies in Tokyo to take a look, he used to work as a computer repair man at an electronics store, so he should be able to fix it, right? I need my computer!

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.

The past couple days have been busy! I freaked out on Monday night after I dropped my computer and it started making strange noises. My user profile will not load but that is fixable. I still have all my writing and photos (priceless to me) but I do not trust this computer to last very long so I want to buy a new one. Too bad I am super broke and laptops here are expensive! We will see...

I was happy to go to work last night to get away from my sad and dying computer, but once I got there I realised, again, how much it sucks. WH wasn't there either so that made it double-boring. Customers are so retarded.

I am moving into my room at Waseda this friday. I was just informed that I have been given a single room! So I will not wake up any annoying roommate after midnight when I come home from work. And no one will know what time I come home. Yes! One school problem is, though, that the textbook I need got mailed back to my house in the United States. That book has been so troublesome.

Practiced karaoke and drank at the club after work yesterday night. I joked (half-serious) in my drunkenness about planning to sell my body to make some extra cash. Afterward, around 4:30 in the morning, Clair and I went to Vibration, she said to find my customers. Instead we met a couple young Japanese guys randomly. Guy I liked was 25 years old (I am proud of myself for choosing a younger guy!), tall and slim. We talked and danced... then all four of us took a taxi to Shibuya and went to the same hotel.

Yeah I went to another love hotel, but I actually did it this time. I had a good time... I got his phone number and mail address so maybe we can meet again. Who knows. I took the bus back to Nishi Azabu from Shibuya this morning. It is actually much more convenient than taking the train, I have learned. I usually walk to Shibuya anyway, but the bus is quite nice!

It is gross and humid today... I need to take a shower. Lisa is coming to Japan tomorrow, I am gonna meet her friday afternoon. Stressing about it! Stressing about school and money! But I gotta take it day by day right now.

Last night, Matsuda did not call me. I figured he did not wanna deal with me anymore after sort of ditching him Saturday. Takahashi called instead and we went out for yakitori and drinks at Roppongi Hills. Same old chatting. He told me, though, that if I can introduce him to a girl and he manages to kiss her, he will give me 50,000 yen. More, if he manages to sleep with her, he will give me 100,000 yen. And! If the relationship lasts more than 3 days, he will give me 200,000 yen. He was serious! I told him I would try my best. Any takers?

Today I slept in. Matsuda called me in the morning and we made plans to meet at 17:30 and have dinner. (It is funny to me how often I make plans while still in bed, half asleep. People call me in the mornings, I arbitrarily select an evening time to meet them, then fall back asleep).

I have to admit I was a little afraid to meet him. All these paranoid thoughts were racing through my imagination, I half-expected a hundred police cars to be waiting outside my building, but I met him. He was innocently waiting smoking a cigarette at the crossing. We went to Shibuya. We went to a nice restaurant and had a small meal. Seafood salad and some cold pasta, wine and cheese.

I was wearing long-sleeves. It is normal for me to wear long sleeves even in the hottest weather, but he commented on it and told me that I needed to buy summer clothes. I acted surprised but I could tell he wanted to take me shopping in Shibuya. I bought a couple shirts from 109 and OIOI. The shops were closing and he gave me the change. It added up to about 13,000 yen, he told me to spend the rest of it tomorrow. Yeah right. I will save it for my living!

He wanted to go to an izakaya. We went to a fancy-ish one in Shibuya where he had me sample different types of shochu, he ordered a glass of several different kinds (they all tasted almost the same to me). We had sushi and tsukune and miso soup. Afterward he asked me where I wanted to go, a club? Karaoke? Home? He did not want me to go home, so we went to karaoke. All the karaoke places in Shibuya were full so we went to Roppongi, but not before he bought me the new Gazette album, the Limited Edition CD&DVD (which came with a complimentary pencil board with a photo of the band printed on it!) and Gazette wristband at HMV. Yay! They are my favorite current visual kei band!

We went to the same karaoke place that Shinya and the Israeli girls took me to last year, near my old club. We drank and sang (mostly my songs). We had another few drinks in Roppongi, then he let me go home...

In short, today was a success. Listening to my new CD now!

new Gazette stuff!

I had a pseudo-douhan with the guitar customer last night (we did not actually eat anything and went straight to the club). He suddenly invited me to go to Disneyland on Sunday. I told him sure! He is a really friendly guy and I have known him since last summer, so I figured it would be fun.

The random guy I met the other night, Matsuda, showed up at the club at around 10 PM. Drunk boss did not let him into the club and it made sense because all the girls were occupied and he had no idea who the guy was. He looked at me, we made eye-contact, but I could make no reaction because I was with my customer. He started calling me (withholding his cellphone number) and I answered it in the dressing room. The connection was very bad and the calls kept being dropped. If he had just told me that he was going to come to the club, I could have warned the boss... there goes one request. There is the worry though, that he is a cop or something.

Went out to sing more karaoke with my customer and had something to eat. He did not want me to go home and suggested we go to Disneyland in the morning and that we could go sleep at a love hotel. I could not think of a good enough reason to say no, so we went to Dougenzaka, Shibuya.

When we went into a love hotel, the anonymous desk person asked which type of room we wanted, he asked for the biggest one. The room was really nice, I wished I had my camera. Round bed (which could rotate), very big jacuzzi tub, tons of mirrors, on the ceiling, on the walls... I did not have sex with him though. I hardly slept. Not used to sleeping at night, so I stayed up well into the morning. I slept on the couch for a couple hours.

Matsuda called me around 9:30AM (again with his number withheld) and asked what was up. I had been sleeping, I tried to be quiet. It told him that I was with a customer last night and I am sorry that he was refused entry to the club. He asked me about our previous plans and I told him that it would probably be impossible (going to the onsen), that I was sleeping and he should have called me earlier. I told him to call me back in the evening, at 8 PM.

I woke my customer up at 10 and we went out for breakfast, then caught a taxi to Disneyland. It was cool, not the first time I have been taken to a Disney park by someone with lots of money to spend! This makes it more enjoyable. It was really funny though, seeing all the characters in the rides speak in Japanese instead of English. Haunted Mansion was my favorite! I am impressed by the magical feeling and effects of Disneyland!

We were both kind of tired so we came home pretty early, around 6PM. I am basically falling asleep... but will wait until 8 PM. Need to clean my room.

Shibuya schoolgirls

The walk to Shibuya takes about 30 minutes. I had a good time catching up with Yuki yesterday, I could hardly recognise him when we met at the Hachiko statue. He told me that he would pay for my coffee because he was older. Sure, go ahead! Actually, we went to Excelsior and I had a white peach smoothie and a piece of mille crepe cake. It was very good! We talked about this and that, being lonely and him getting a job at Hitachi. He is distressed about the fact that he is going to be turning into a salaryman and will have to work everyday for the rest of his life. I felt bad. He told me that I don't need to worry about it, I am American, and I can do whatever I want.

Takahashi mailed me in the day time asking me if I still hated him (I told him last night that I did because he was being annoying). I replied with yes. He did not respond for a long time. When I was having coffee with Yuki, he mailed me a photo of his Ferrari. Very interesting logic, don't you think?

I had enough time to walk back home too, so I did, rather than take the train. It feels good to walk; work is so close that I can hardly call it a walk. I was really sleepy at work though, I don't know why, and hungry having not eaten much. I sat around for hours kind of miserable. Toward he end of the night customers came in and I had to sit with them. I drank two shots of tequila right off the bat. I really felt them because I was a little hungry. I got moved to sit with WH's customer.

Randomly the boss told me to come to the door. I was a little confused but went. It was Leor, the Israeli guy. I wondered why he was there. Apparently he was trying to claim that he referred me to the club and was trying to make money off of me. Wow, what a loser. I sort of just brushed it off and went to my seat. Alcoholic Boss was really bothered about it though, naturally. Leor called me today to tell me sorry, that his problem with my boss is his problem, and I should not have been brought into it. I told him I don't want to know anything about it, it is his problem, yes, so let's keep it that way.

After work, WH, her customers and I went to the tranny club! It was very very cool! Mama is a wonderful singer and I couldn't take my eyes off of her when she had her show. She is so funny. We ordered some Chinese food (I was very happy to eat) and she kept making sexual innuendos about the shrimp and other things. She knows everything. She told me that I am the kind of person that is usually and always alone, and have been for a long time. She told me that I am far from my mother (!!) and I miss her. She said that my aura is violet and this year I am going to fall in love many times. Next year, she says, I will have a big change. We'll see!!
