So apparently I have not grown out of my cat allergies as much as I thought I have….Which became evident when I passed out on the way to the hospital after visiting Kevin and his cat.  I suppose I should be more careful about who I visit now to prevent myself from landing in the hospital again.  I mean, by merely being exposed to a cat, my throat completely closed up, my eyes watered like a fountain, and I hacked out a lung and a half.  I can only imagine what would happen if I were to ever touch a cat.

I shudder at the thought.

Kevin – I don’t know how much you remember of yesterday since you were so obviously wasted, but I apologize for dragging you to the hospital with me.  I hope you got home okay.  I mean, I think I was delirious my brain being starved of oxygen, so I wasn’t sure what I was thinking.  Although, had you not straddled me to the ground, I would have escaped sooner and not passed out.

Hisa – Thank you for picking me up at the hospital this morning.  I’m sorry for calling you so early in the morning, though.  Did I interrupt your sleep? 

 
Cold in the earth -- and the deep snow piled above thee,
Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee,
Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave?

Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
Over the mountains, on that northern shore,
Resting their wings where heath and fern leaves cover
Thy noble heart forever, ever more?

Cold in the earth -- and fifteen wild Decembers,
From those brown hills, have melted into spring;
Faithful, indeed, is the spirit that remembers
After such years of change and suffering!

Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!

No later light has lightened up my heaven,
No second morn has ever shone for me;
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee.

But, when the days of golden dreams had perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy,
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy.

Then did I check the tears of useless passion --
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine;
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine.

And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain;
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I seek the empty world again? 

Jirou, please refrain from sneaking into my room in the middle of the night  with a video camera ever again as tempting as it maybe be, I'm sure~  I do sincerely hope that you're planning on destroying the evidence. 

Is anyone free to help a dying soul next weekend?  i'm leading this one-hundred-person tour around Osaka, and I will be needing an assistant to help me manage the crazy tourists.  =P

I had so much fun ice skating with everyone today.  A big thank you to those who came!  I hope you all had a good time!

Oh.  WOW.  I just met the world's most ADORABLE child.  She's like everything pure and good packed into one, charming, charming angel of a kid.  Her name is Ayaka, and she is my communications professor's daughter.   If I asked to adopt his child, how well do you think that'd go over withhim  I mean, I wouldn't mind if I even just adopted her as my sister...

Ahem.  So anyways, I think I need to calm down.  I haven't had sugar in a while, and the cake I shared with Ayaka has totally put me on a sugar high.  ^_^

Does anyone want to come ice skating next Saturday?  Offer's still open to anyone who wants to come!

Happy birthday to Fuji-kun!

What can I do?  Someone, tell me what to do. 


(ooc:  Depression and alcohol does not mix.  He'll regret it in the morning after he's calmed down.  >_>)
