boiled_mother: I was going to work on it, but I shelved my college career in order to get some cash flow... which isn't going too well right now either
boiled_mother: I'd love to just go to japan and crash illegally with hot japanese people
fintan_san: thats an option. as a foreign girl Im sure you could get a job in a hostess bar. theres no sex involved, just old japanese guys like the novelty of a couple of em being foreigners
fintan_san: there are 'hosts' aswell, but i hear its hard to break in to that racket
boiled_mother: then there's the whole issue of having money to get there
fintan_san: yeah, I suppose you could travel in a box, but then theres the whole 'risk of death by sufocation' issue
boiled_mother: hehehe yeah

fintan_san: I think so.
boiled_mother: it's 8.42 here
boiled_mother: pm
fintan_san: This date thing has got waaay more planned and elaborate then I first intended though
boiled_mother: ??
fintan_san: it started out as 'lets meet up for dinner'
fintan_san: now its, 'lets meet up in the early afternoon, go to the art gallery, have dinner early, go to a concert, then out for drinks maybe
boiled_mother: what concert?
fintan_san: you'll laugh, but its an irish traditional music concert
boiled_mother: hmm... you're right. I did laugh
boiled_mother: That's like when a relative from italy comes over, they'd go to the olive garden for food.
fintan_san: I hope the concert is good. I sort of know the people putting it on, so Im kinda obliged to go
fintan_san: I even appeared on TV to advertise it, so itd be a bit crap of me not to go
boiled_mother: O_o
boiled_mother: WOW!!
boiled_mother: did you speak japanese?
fintan_san: I speak at the same level as a mentally retarded japanese person, so in the add I got a guy to translate
boiled_mother: awww, my poor mentally retarded japan boy <3
fintan_san: thats me! I can function, by pointing at things and saying what they are. NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH IN JAPAN!!
boiled_mother: that was going to be my next question
boiled_mother: I figured at least in Tokyo or Harajuka there'd be people who speak english
fintan_san: there maybe, but I live way out in the boondocks!
boiled_mother: don't you teach in tokyo?
fintan_san: Nah, we had a sort of orientation conference for a few days, but then they shipped us off to no mans land
fintan_san: If you meet someone here who speaks english they are usually a high school english teacher
boiled_mother: hahaha
boiled_mother: I want to stow away to tokyo and find some cute japanese boy who will say "american! I practice my engrish on you! Come rive with me!"
fintan_san: haha! the scary thing is you could totaly do that!!
fintan_san: and thats exactly how hed say it!
boiled_mother: and spend some time learning how to say 'iku iku'
fintan_san: 'go' 'go'!
fintan_san: what kinda plans have you got for the poor boy?
boiled_mother: in my jap slang book, it says it means 'I'm cuming'
fintan_san: that makes sense
boiled_mother: I am a deviant.
fintan_san: 'Fella' means fellatio
fintan_san: sukebe means perverted
boiled_mother: what's hentai
fintan_san: thats 'a pervert'
boiled_mother: ah
fintan_san: see, Ill have you adapted for life over here in no time!
boiled_mother: what if I come stow away and live with you?
fintan_san: of course! Although it would involve living in the boonies and squishing together in my tiny japanese apartment
boiled_mother: yay!
fintan_san: And if you found yourself that japanese boy to teach english, there isnt really room for the three of us. Especially when the two of you are having sex
boiled_mother: if you and I had sex, there would be one on top of the other, and there would be that much more space in the apartment!
boiled_mother: HAHAAA
boiled_mother: I figure things out easily
fintan_san: hmm, I guess that must be how the japanese manage it
boiled_mother: then again... my hair's black, I dress weird, and I'm short. I'll be just like one of your japanese girlfriends!
fintan_san: You'll have to wear more pink and get a snoopy pencil case
boiled_mother: I wear lots of pink sometimes.
boiled_mother: but I don't have a snoopy pencil case.
boiled_mother: I'd rather have a pucca one
fintan_san: snoopy is huge over here!
fintan_san: as is winney the pooh
fintan_san: or pooh-san as they call him
boiled_mother: yeesh
fintan_san: Do you have Doraemon or anpanman over there?
boiled_mother: is doraemon the bot with the horns (or was it ears?)?
boiled_mother: I recognize both names
fintan_san: nah, its the cat-like robot from the future. Im well up on these things coz I hang out with kids all day
boiled_mother: yeah, I remember that. no, we don't have it here
fintan_san: there was a period where Id subconsciously adopted the mannerisms of a japanese school girl!
fintan_san: Once I realised I cut that out pretty fast
boiled_mother: like how?
fintan_san: Id put my hand to my mouth when Im talking and say things like 'aaaaaaaaaay?' and 'sugoi!' (wonderful) all the time
fintan_san: and Id use words I learned off them that it turns out only school girls use
boiled_mother: aaaaaay?
fintan_san: its difficult to describe in type what thats supposed to sound like, but its a really distinctive noise only japanese people tend to make
fintan_san: it expresses suprise or amazement
boiled_mother: someday I'll make it to japan.
boiled_mother: is it hard living?
fintan_san: Not so much if your a foreigner, generally the only jobs for us is as english teachers and the company or government usually helps you sort out your apartment and stuff. There are occasional difficulties, but its a really easy existence
fintan_san: Im putting my life goals on hold for one more year t least
boiled_mother: it sucks that I need to go to school to get a good job, I need a car to get to school (and my job) and I need money to do everything and I need a job to get money, and it's just an endless loop!
fintan_san: That does suck! but 'gambatte' as the japanese say! (it means keep on trying/dont give up)
boiled_mother: what about Yatta!
fintan_san: Ive never come across yatta!
fintan_san: oops, I may have to go now! must stock up on aspirin to remove my headache before my date
boiled_mother: good luck and have lots of fun
