last night

yesterday was my friend paul's last day at work so a bunch of us went out for drinks after. we then met up with some friends and went to XO karaoke, a korean (japanese style) karaoke place on bloor. being there, in that room, with grace, screaming our hearts out to anything and everything (including some j-pop), i felt like i could have been in niigata city in shidax karaoke. i wanted to sumimasen for some more beer, and felt i needed to speak japanese to the guy behind the counter.
at that moment i missed japan SO MUCH. one of the first times i REALLY missed it and imagined myself there. it's amazing how much you just don't think about stuff and then wham.
and then someone sang Bon Jovi and that almost killed me. i miss my girls SO MUCH.
