5 years ago tomorrow

[dotinthesky]

Tomorrow marks 5 years since I started "dating" Kevin.

Can't believe 5 years ago we were taking those special steps towards the cinema, to watch Bride of Chucky. Then he came over to my apartment afterwards and I gave him a mug of orange juice (it was either that, water, or milk.) We listened to some Classical Chinese music (because I had just returned from Tsing Tao, where my dad and brother were living at the time) and I lit up some Beewax candles (which Helen gave to me on my birthday.)

I lived in Montreal, on Cote-des Neiges. Very near Concordia University.

I miss Canada. If Kevin doesn't propose soon, would any Canadians be willing to marry me?

(also, happy anniversary to dilvalicious. 4 years ago, today, she was going on a special date to Fight Club)

are you japanese?

number 2 was my address in Hong Kong when I lived there... so I guess I know a little of Cantonese. My brother, though, knows Mandarin really well from living in mainland China for 2 years.

Nope, I'm a whitey born and raised in Europe - making me a (tada!) much sought-after rent-a-priest in Japan. Funny and true.

I don't know any Cantonese ... at all. In fact, I only read and write Literary Chinese (and 'speak' I suppose but that is just hilariously wrong.)

what do you mean rent-a-prist??? what religion? is it some weird fad in Japan? did you live there?

Christian wedding are the hip thing to do in Japan at the moment. It's all one big fake circus but who cares, everyone's happy and the pay is supposedly quite good.

I haven't been to Japan yet but plan to soon and maybe live there for 1-2 years. Who knows.
