Kimberly

9:19pm JST Tuesday 27 May 2003

Met Kimberly at class today. I noticed her when she first came into the building, like "whoah, cute blonde alert" and wondered about meeting her, etc. She joined the table next to ours, the "smarter" table and I was like damn and she's smart too. But then during the break she was downgraded to our table, and I had to work to get past her looks and maintain normal behavior as in not be snooty assuming she was too-pretty-and-knew-it, nor be all, "hey baby what's your name?" but instead just go with it and let us all introduce ourselves when the next part of the lesson began.

She's Kimberly from Georgia, and her Georgia peach accent appears when she talks about home. Her last name is distinctly not American; she's married to a Japanese cat. After class, I was targeting her a bit to see just what is the dealio and there was some kid in a stroller being brought into the room.

Her baby.

Whew. Okay. Full stop; crisis averted. No kids allowed flag has been thrown. No worries at all.

I walked her to the train station and learned about the fam situation; it seems she is becoming the classic Japanese housewife. I project that she is bored at home, just taking care of Landen. Her husband works for Panasonic. I imagine he's a fledgling salaryman. I dunno.

Dropped her off at Kikuna. Rode my bike to Tsunashima. Talked on the phone with janette to tell her about the averted crisis. I really love janette for understanding such crises and helping me get past them. Got to Tsunashima and bang, Kimberly is there, having just gotten out of the station with the big L.

I knew she lives near Tsunashima, so I thought it was a bit weird that she would go to Kikuna to walk back toward the lounge, but hey whatever. I hung up with janette. "That was my girlfriend" to Kimberly to clearly state boundaries. Didn't drop all plans to hang with K, but went to get my hair cut, then met her back at the station and we munched at a curry rice place.

She's lived in Tsunashima since November, so knows the area more. Plus she doesn't have a job so she gets to fuck around more (maybe!!) in the city.

Walked her part way home, called janette again on my way home. Talked for 1.5 hours. :-)

Took a big ol' fat nap with my short hair and then studied katakana for an hour. I now know ア - ノ.

They didn't cut my hair with no guard, so I'm going to go shave the shit off in the shower now. Not going to fucking waste 950 yen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not have short-ass hair. Damn that was expensive.
