Met Arwen last night at The Pink Cow vegan buffet. I met a guy named Jesse in line and because it was his first time to come, when I saw Earl, Miki, and Robin all in a row at one table, I introduced Jesse to them from afar. Heather and Arwen also introduced themselves. When Arwen said her name, I was like, "Arwen. awesome." cause I really like the name. She was like, "you can have it!" so I jokingly said, "HI I'm Arwen," to Jesse.

Got our food and I came back to sit by Arwen, "since we have the same name, I figure we should sit together," and turns out we both really like roller coasters so I'm thinking, dood we gotsta go ride some coasters together and thinking dood I thought you said you were going to not date anyone.. and therefore thinking, well, what *is* dating anyway?? and then wondering about the viability of going to a park in Tokyo.

Spoken conversations at the table focused on the food, Miki having been 20 feet from Obama during his recent speech here in Japan, jobs, the raffle, housing locations. "You live in Chigasaki?" "Yes." "Do you surf?" "No. But my housemate does.." but the conversation didn't go on from there.

I think from now on, I'll append "Soness" to "my housemate" cause it turns out Arwen knows Soness and also stayed at her house via CouchSurfing! Wow!! I didn't determine this until I left (wanted to walk to the station with Arwen, but she was chatting with peeps, and I ended up not even saying bye to her. I hope/d she noticed, and I hope/d she didn't feel slighted, and omg wtf am I thinking? Why are these thoughts in my brain? I just met her tonight! (last night)

Looked her up on FB and found 1 mutual friend, Soness, and was like, awww man! I shoulda said her name.

I *did* say Arwen's name several times, cause when otherwise she would have had to repeat it (as new people came to the table), she'd tap me and say, "what's my name?" and I'd go, "Arwen!"

The first time that happened, Heather and I both were like, "What's my name??" and then she goes, "Say it! Say it!" and I go, "ARWEN!!" loud enough that certainly everyone not in the bar area probably heard me, but that's the way of the herd at The Pink Cow. Noisy is okay.

Soness got home late, and we stayed up later chatting, cause we haven't seen each other in like a long time, and she's headed out of town for a mini vacation for three days in Okinawa and work until Sunday night. She told me about meeting a guy name A-something who was like, "don't I know you from improv?" and Soness goes, "quite possibly!" and turns out he's a blue man in Blue Man Group. Wow!

She pet Nibbles Kitty and told me about her audition (I think she'll get it, but first they gotta audition one more girl on Friday or so) and I massaged her ankles and told her about work, and yoga-for-massage exchane with Paola and how I was glad to be back doing physical training again.

Would have stayed up longer, but had to be at work at 9am so crashed to sleep around 2am. zzzz
