Soooo... The 6 us went out for drinks...


I wasnt really looking forward to anything and thinking about the crush.


All and all, it really just turned out to be a "drink with friends" kinda get together.


My first impression... I dont really remember... lol


Not so good at first (i didnt think any one was cute or anything) but i remember he was the "mood-maker" of the group and I respected that.


Afterwards 1 girl went home and the rest of us went to karaoke.


I sang FATED and GLITTER (Ayu songs of last summer!) and he seemed impressed with my singing and kept humming FATED afterwards.


It turns out that he has a weak spot girls that can sing... AND half-Japanese girls. lol


And he was good at singing too!


He asked who I liked and of course (as all of you know) I answered "GLAY and Ayu"!!


So he said he would sing GLAY....


Which is a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG NO-NO to me.


I hate guys who try to appeal to me through GLAY songs because they usually SUCK, sing it wrong (screwing up the details bugs a MAJOR fan like me... If you dont know it, DONT SING IT) and chose cliche songs (enough with HOWEVER and BELOVED and ZUTTO FUTARI DE!! Chose something else!! They have SOOOOO MANY GOO SONGS!!!).


But Wrench surprised me by singing WINTER, AGAIN and HAPPINESS - not the major ballads and he sang them good & without mistakes!!


So he got points from me with that, but I pretty much spent the nite singing songs that reminded me of my crush.

*My BF is called "Small Old Man" in my Japanese blog, but his English nicknames are "One Oak/Cedar" (amongst JASS Tokyo Chapter) and "Wrench" (by my parents)*


Soooo... how we met...


We actually met last summer in August.


My friend from high school and her co-worker (guy) planned a "get-together" - 3 on 3.


It started because the co-worker said that he had 2 guy friends that totally had no luck with women and because of their jobs, didnt have a chance to talk to any either.


So it was sorta a drinking party between single people - but mostly a pity party for the 2 guy friends.


The only reason I decided to go to this was because my friend and the co-worker were TOTALLY gonna hook-up, so I wanted to see the future BF.

(They hooked up a week later.)


So


as you can probably guess...


Wrench was one of the guy friends that the pity party was thrown for...

So now that the whole situation with the ring is clear,

I guess its time to explain about the BF…

Just to update you all, I was seeing someone for a little bit


(it wasn’t serious AT ALL) and broke-up with him in June, 2007.

So I was single for a while.

There was some guy drama here and there before and after that.

I had a crush last summer, but he ended up going out with another girl

(slut-face that didn’t have a place to live because she broke up with her BF

and was looking for someone else to leech off from)

despite that we went out on a couple of dates.

Back then, I was crushed.

But now all I can say is “Oh well!”

and now I really think it worked out for the best…

But to be honest, for a while I went through a phase where

I was sorta fed up with guys in general.

I felt like all their kindness wasn’t genuine

and was just a way to get to me and take advantage of me.

It was a blend of wanting someone,

but not being able to trust anyone to the point where I would let them in.
