Saru-chan


this is hina. she leaves in two days, i think. it's four in the damn morning and i'm sitting around thinking about all the people who are leaving, and the people i wish i had a chance to get to know better. hina always effortlessly made me feel comfortable on the days when i couldn't seem to figure anything out and i felt like i was just bumping along. she never seems at odds with herself or her surroundings, and i can always drop whatever stupid struggle i'm stuck on for the time i'm around her. i know i'll see her again, and that there will be a lot of people left here to talk more with, and even more new people coming here soon, it's just going to be strange and quiet without her around.
everyones been kind of flopping around the last few days taking half assed lame little stabs at jokes about how we can see eachother again (maybe it's basically just been me). i just wish i had more time with the people like hina and ruriko, who is leaving for singapore, who i know could grow into even more integral lifelong friends if the chance was there. had some last parties and conversations this week, and the rest of the time seems anticlimactic and weird.

peet h. q-ist. you are, and always will be one of my flavo-rite personages. like..., ever. in the whole world. especcially in japan. i totally just spelled that wrong, and i don't goddam care! i'm right now in mpls, its (oh crap!) 2:22 in the am, here in the snow, and i've been catching up to your wonderfullness. (yup, thats wrong too...) like the extreme song, i miss you more than words can say. my love for you is deeoer than the ocean, less deep, only than my love for mayo. which is all your fault. i miss you here in MN, i miss you there in OAKLAND, and i will continue to miss you all the way in japan. even though i am not there. wow... am i bob dylan?
