So, this is Day 03 of Aniki’s trip in Boston. Just about… 5 more days until he comes back. It feels like it’s been forever… In the mean time, I’ve been trying to keep my mind off being completely miserable by going to work, doing my job, and hanging out with some friends. Today is Friday, where Onii-chan normally works. (We work at a cyber lounge called NCK Cyber Lounge.) I took over his shift, wishing that he was there… Working just felt… sort of empty, without him. I really enjoy his company, and well, right now there isn’t that company to enjoy. I thought I could handle it, but I am barely halfway there. He absolutely won’t leave my mind. I miss him… as do a lot of his friends do, as well.
One of my best friends, Andrew had said, “You know, it does seem like he has been gone for a long time…” and I can’t help but to agree…
I sort of indulged myself in typing entries in this blog, where probably only a few will read, and a even lesser few who will bother to comment. I’ve written about 5 or 6 entries over the course of 2 days, whether it be of Anime, PVCs, games, or… just my personal feelings.
Aniki paid about $10 for internet, today, so we had some chance to talk privately over AIM. We shared some laughs and had a good conversation… He was much more attentive in our conversation than he normally is, but I suppose that’s how it gets when your time is more limited. Talking to him was like a breath of fresh air… I certainly missed talking to him, even though it was only for a little while. He showed me some of his journal entries to keep me updated on how he is. So far, he seems pretty agitated for being on this trip, but I hope it eventually turns out well. I trust him not to fool around with any other girls while we’re away, too, but I can’t help but to be a teensy bit worried. ^^; His voice is soothing, though. Listening to him talk over the phone after our AIM conversation overwhelmed me with happiness. I wish we could’ve talked longer, but his cellphone minutes are very limited. We talked about missing each other, being excited for our reuinion, what we’re going to do when he comes back, anime and stuff… I can’t wait to get another phone call from him.
I met one of his childhood friends from Boston, over AIM. She is supposedly a very immature bratty /b/-tard, but from what she seems so far… I like her. I don’t know how extensive her knowledge of anime and general otaku-ism is, but she at least knows what Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu and Lucky Star are, due to their popularity. It’s no shocker, but you’d be surprised how many people who claim to be anime-fans, aren’t aware of the series. (No kidding.) It was quite impressive that she was aware of who Hirano Aya is, seeing as she gave me the impression that she was merely a /b/tard that recently got out of the Narutard phase. Another thing that impressed me was that her AIM SN was based off a Gakuen Alice character, Hyuuga Natsume. I hadn’t recognized it at first, since I didn’t care much for the character. (Hotaru > Natsume, not into shota kthnxbai.) One last thing that had impressed me was that she was familiar with the Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekisou poster that came with May’s edition of NewType. That’s about it, though. I think I was only impressed because I put pretty low expectations for the girl, but despite the good impression I personally had of her, she’s still an immature 13 year old that kicks my boyfriend while he’s eating, throwing balls of paper at his head when he’s playing videogames, and taking pictures of him threatening to put them up on 4chan… Oh well. At least we had a pretty good conversation, despite me being overly aggressive about nagging her to show me a picture of her. She has no photo of her face, completely, but from what it seems, she looks rather cute for someone her age. (I hope Aniki isn’t taking an interest for her.) He says she looks “okay”, but I think that’s just him not admitting that she’s cute. Despite that though, it seems that he hates her personality. They get along fine, online, though… but not in person.
I tried going to sleep, but somehow thinking about Aniki just wouldn’t let me. I couldn’t sleep at all. I’d hug my giant frog plushie as much as I could, but it just wasn’t enough to satisfy me, knowing I wouldn’t be seeing Aniki for another 4 days… It just wouldn’t leave my mind, so I got out of bed, and came back to my computer to type this blog.
To my surprise, when I got on, Mikey was online! I was happy to see that he was there, and his news to me was that he bought me the Max Factory Pachira PVC that I wanted! Oh gosh, next to the phone call Aniki gave me, this just made me day very bright. I’ll admit it, and I hope it doesn’t sound too shallow… but this seriously made my week a whole lot better. I’m really grateful to Mikey for this… and I’ll cherish this PVC, just as I cherish the Ruu PVC my Aniki had bought me.
So there are a lot of things that keep me happy, though Aniki is gone… Thinking about him makes me happy, my friends make me happy… To be honest, Mikey giving me a gift made me realize, this is the first gift I’ve gotten from someone other than my boyfriend or parents in a LOOOONG time. These things just made me smile… but despite all those happy thoughts and feelings, the void of Aniki not being here still remains…
I seriously miss him… my Aniki.
