dona, I sort of rejected the notion of moving there when I was younger just bc all of my sibs did it. I had studied the language a little in high school, but never pursued it in college. then after I quit my old finance job I started visiting my high school friend in tokyo. on one of those trips I met a french (half japanese) ex-pat and started this kind of whirlwind romance. we saw each other over the course of a year traveling back and forth, but each time we did one of us was essentially on vacation–it was amazing, but no reality checks. I very seriously considered moving there to give it a shot, but one or both of us would have been forced to drastically change our lives. ultimately, I stayed in new york and she went back to france to finish med school. c’est dommage, gomennasai…

I have been told by Black people that I am not really black. Maybe I am a white gay male. Some how my body and *rob*’s got switched.

have i mentioned my deep, undying love for fresh direct lately? can one marry a company? life savers, those folks are.

Percweptions about white people I’ve picked up from various of my daughter’s friends from her school (she’s asian btw)

White people:
1) are rich
2) live in la-la land
3) don’t take the bus
4) don’t hit their kids
5) don’t have nick-nacks on their shelves (nick-nacks wasn’t the word used but I can’t remeber the actual one)

rob, did she beat him with her shoe? if not, she is an asshole. i would have effed him up good fashion.
