Maia Nebula!

Last night I dreamed about Minori and Kotaro. We were all together here in Bogota, having fun as we usually did in Dubuque. We spent the entire day going around the city… Man, I do miss them.

And maybe these Friday Five will be just dreams. My favorite things seem to have evaporated. I married the wrong girl, a friend of mine in whose lips I can’t find a tinge of passion… (I’m sorry for those confused, it’s just an allegory for something that’s troubling me, and I just can’t say “I married the wrong man “… maybe the image of a wrong girl whom a man can’t stand makes a better image in my mind.)

At this moment, what is your favorite…

1. …song?

Gessekai , by Buck-Tick. No, I’m not an otaku and you all know it! BUT, I’m a j-pop and j-rock fan (thanks to Kotaro/Scudelia Electro, and Minori/Hi-Standard, The Blue Hearts), so I’m quite obsessed with this song… I listened to it carefully when Minori stayed here and watched Nightwalker. As you might have guessed, I now watch Nightwalker every now and then. It was nice to sit on the floor, eat oranges, watch that tv show together… It made my nights worthwhile. Too bad he’s not here anymore. And he’s going to be farther yet very soon.

2. …food?

I’d bet my life on saba sushi. No, I wouldn’t bet my life. But yes I’d love to eat some sushi right now. I guess I’ll have miso soup for breakfast.

3. …tv show?

Sakura Mail: Tonma saw Urara crying in the rain, and despite her sadness, he said, he saw her shining . This vision made him recognize at last the love inside and kissed her. Could it get any better? I’m shattered.

4. …scent?

Honey. If the world were mine, it would all smell like honey.

5. …quote?

Unfortunately, my world right now doesn’t come in quotes, but in melodies. Give me that crescendo in Indefinitely , by Travis, and my heart will find a temporary balm.

Not enough? Then take this: “I really miss you.” Minori said this, and this is all I need. Yeah, people, I’m shattered. I’m thinking of divorce, but–

I’m made of glass, 9.8m/s^2 pull me faster and faster, and the floor is so close, so hard…

Maybe the noise will be beautiful, and then I’ll be reflecting rainbows all around the room.

Japan is much, much, MUCH more than this.

If only they could see…

Today I combed my hair backwards, regardless of results. The next time I looked at myself in the mirror, some hours later, I found out that it looked as if I had this on my head:

Long time, no see. Let’s see what it brings.

1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?

Nothing. However, I used to have an email address with the following quote in the signature line:

“You nearly had me roped and tied, altar-bound, hypnotized,

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear ‘You’re a butterfly,

And butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high away, bye-bye.” –Elton John

I was 14 by then.

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven’t graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?

“We’re not learning to be architects, or painters, or writers. We’re learning to be. That’s all.” –Sir Paul McCartney

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?

It would say “MSKITE” or some interesting word, like “VORTEX” or “OKASHI”. Once I saw one that read “AFRICA.” I thought that was really cool. I don’t like those that say “HOTCHK” or something equally stupid…

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?

Yeah, my fountain pen. It says “Olavia Kite.”

5. What would you like your epitaph to be?

I have no idea.
