5 New and Unexpected Developments

5. On a recent bike ride, I found a YMCA near my house which has Fura (Hula) dancing and a 24-hour grocery store!!!! Imagine life where all stores close at 8, and you'll realize the extent of my happiness.
4. I went to a random potluck party which turned out to be a fruit-and-vegetable drawing party. I learned how to watercolor a fruit I've never seen before.
3. I turned on my school computer and someone changed the background to a picture of Voldemort (Harry Potter's nemesis) that points at me and says "You will lose everything." So it's either a joke or maybe a warning that I need to turn off my computer screen... I don't know who did it, but I have a sneaking suspicion it was my fun-loving and forever-at-school English teacher.
2. The kid that has been the bane of my existence at Junior High (he usually finger-shoots me or flips me off or tries to shock me with his MTV English) officially asked me to marry him and runs after me now. I really don't know which side of him I prefer.
1. When walking off the midnight train, an eager-to-learn-English Japanese girl had me cornered in the bathroom, talking for half an hour, and we exchanged numbers. Now, I can say that out of all the random places I meet new friends, in the train station bathroom at midnight is the last place I expected it.
