When a guy tells you to call, make sure you call!

日本語の版:なし、ごめんなさい!

I ended up borrowing the $3,000 we needed from my grandfather so although it does need to be paid back at some point, there is no interest on it. Take that banks =D. Now we just need to finalize some things for the car we're interested. Anyway, things are slowly getting back to normal and I'm feeling happier than ever. I've been trying to get back in to the habit of working out after a practically three-week hiatus while I had company. I also re-started 神様のカルテ, since I forgot what was going on over the past three weeks.At some point, I still need to upload a million pictures.....

I hope everyone's week is going as well as mine! 

Oh, and before I forget,  hello to all my new friends =D. 

★★★

T-san* and I decided to meet at Tsukishima at around 18:00 for Okonomiyaki. Having never been there, I left the apartment early only to learn that he would be arriving late because class was taking longer than expected. No problem, I thought to myself as I read his message, I can just sit outside the station and wait. As soon as I arrived, I realized what a horrible idea that was. The air around Monja street smelled delicious. My stomach growled and I groaned. Why had I decided to skip lunch again?   Several stomach growls later, T-san* arrived and after exchanging hellos, we rushed off to stuff our faces. Erm, I mean, enjoy a meal.  

We ordered a few drinks, two types of Monjayaki, and three types of okonomiyaki. In hindsight, it was a bad idea but hey, we were really hungry at the time! 

PhotobucketWe talked about his life at the University, my social life, then struggled to finish all the food we had ordered. In the end, I became too full to eat another bite and instead only cheered him on as he struggled to finish the last few bites of Curry Okonomiyaki. "You can do it T-san*! COME ON!! LOOK!! Two more bites!! Do it, do it!"  Once he finished, we rested then tipsily made our way out of the little shop and decided to walk around a bit to sober up.   

It was only then that I thought to look at my phone and realized that M-san* had called me. Twice. Oh boy. I called him back and as soon as he found out that I was with T-san* a boy, he asked if I had been drinking and seemed annoyed. We talked for two seconds before he hung up on me, and me being slightly tipsy, found the fact that he was annoyed with me hilarious. T-san and I joked about his "jealousy" as we wandered down the street, turning at random corners and getting ourselves lost.  

"He's not even my boyfriend!" I shouted as we reached a park and stopped to set up the GPS to get back to the station. "I know!" T-san* shouted back, "And you know what?! He's not even your boyfriend!" I gasped and answered, "YOU'RE RIGHT!" 

We laugh some more, then head to a convenience store to ask for directions since we can't seem to get the GPS to work. After chit-chatting with the obaa-chan and attempting to follow her instructions, we realize we're still lost. Luckily, we spot another group of young people laughing loudly and staggering around obviously drunk. "Hey!" I shout in Japanese across the street, "Wheres the station!?" The girls laugh, we get an "I don't know!" or two from some of the guys, before the group waves for us to follow. We decide against it and suddenly realize that we could just walk back the same way we had come. Brilliant! 

So! We re-track our steps and eventually reach the station. We part ways after some random rambling about how stuffed we still feel, and as soon as I get to the apartment, I call M-san. He sounds annoyed, tells me I need to change my ways, tells me what I did to annoy him (note that despite having talked for half a year, we had only physically met once at this point....) then tells me to call him early the next day. Of course...because I'm tipsy, I don't remember that I'm supposed to. 

Big mistake! 
Who would have thought that when a guy tells you to call, they actually expect you to CALL? 

From this point on, things got only more interesting!

From what I know, Japanese girls/guys tend to be either dating or not dating. By which I mean, I don't see a lot of guys and girls as just friends. So perhaps that is a reason for some jealousy. Obviously M felt threatened by T. And to me, that says that M definitely likes you. But it sounds to me that he is not very happy with you because of you spending time drinking with another guy.

Yeah, I was well aware of that, which is why I usually make sure all my guy friends know that we are just friends. I didn't think I had to do that with M-san though, because the thought of us two dating had never crossed my mind. I thought we both understood that we were just friends since though we had shared months and months of secrets, we had only met once before at this point and there was no way we'd be in a relationship based on that.

Oh gggoooosh ! You gotta explain me something ^^' sorry for being that dumb and slow sometimes.
So M-san, is a friend of yours, right ? This is the blond-haired guy, right ?
And there we have T-san, but who is he ? Why did you have dinner with him ? Is he the person you were talking about last Valentine Day ?

No problem! My love life is confusing.

M-san is the guy I'm interested--the one from my last post. T-san is another guy, but he's just like my little brother. I had dinner with him because we hadn't seen each other in such a long time and we wanted to catch up. He's younger than myself and M-san by three years. He's a baby!

Hum, I don't know if that's what it means exactly. I mean, maybe he liked me then...but I don't know about now. I was too stupid to notice then. T_T

Haha yeah. I always hear people say guys are so simple minded...But I'm like WHAT?! Since when?! lol.

You know, when I first moved to Japan, I was dead scared to try Monja because of how everyone described it...But when I actually tried it, it was really great.

Hopefully by "From this point on, things got only more interesting!" you meant that things got more interesting in a good way.

It's slightly cute that M-san got jealous, but only if he gets over it quickly. If not, he should be a little more clear about his own intentions before he gets annoyed with you.

Well, in the short run, yes, they got more interesting in a good way! =D I don't know what it means for he and I in the long run.

If it's one thing he's good at, it's being vague about where we stand. Hopefully things will get sorted out. I don't want to ruin the wonderful friendship we have now, so I won't rush him.
