We caught Mayumi off guard! Puahaha. It was her farewell we all drank to and karaoked to.



Silly Miho



YAY BEERU! They don't do sake bombs here....so we taught them how kakaka


I have GOT to get more rest....I'm sooo tired from this weekend. (as is my wallet) Most people go home after the karaoke part at 2am but noooo I had to cab it to Shibuya for some dancin! Originally I was going to cab it to Shibuya then take bus to Ageha but that was a little too crazy....even for my irrational drunk ass.

The trouble with being social is that its hard to take that intimate, one-on-one time so neccesary to our personal sanity.....I always vowed that I would not be one of those presidents who wouldn't hang out with members after meetings....bosses who didn't spend time with their co-workers. I intended to stay social both at and off work.

However....I understand now why people have such neccesity to maintain their privacy and personal time. IT'S EXHAUSTING! Especially after a massive party night and paying my first respects to the Japanese porcelain gods(I forgot how gross throwing up pure alkie could be)...then following it up with what I thought would be a relaxing Sunday night at Amy and James' house.

They are what I'd define as one of the ultimate corporate couples....both have been in Japan for awhile and are both well established within the older circles of NOVA workers....they work for Foreign Personel....the office we call when we're late, the office that handles the housing, the office that keeps track of pay checks....and thusly all the present company were titled instructors, probably AAM's and lots of trainers from all over greater Tokyo.....EXHAUSTING.

I am so tired of trying to please people all the time. I'm just....tired in general. *yawn* maybe i shouldn't sleep at 4 or 5am every night @_@
