Next Year!
It’s been 2009 for just over 2 hours now. Spent the day in Nagoya with Sarv and his brother, Sareen, before heading back to Nisshin to meet Calex and his friend, Jeremy (a Proxy-dwelling current NUFS student) for dinner at Saizeria and some TV, in honour of Calex’s 27th birthday. Limited sleeping facilities meant I had to leave by 10 to get back to my own bed in Ena. I trekked from Proxy to the Idaka Ryokuchi bus stop, taking in the surroundings, thinking how I hadn’t been there, 3 years prior, to see in the new year then. As I walked near I House I felt the pull, the wish that I could walk in through those doors and it be the same I House it was 3 years ago. For everyone to be there…. I haven’t missed it quite so painfully in some time but, times like these, the big dates, you remember the important things, the turning points and significant experiences in your life. Some things, they’ll never leave us….
So I rang in the New Year on a train, with Sarv trying to keep me on the line as they celebrated following a temple run with Shiho’s parents. There’s been so much more going on this week, full of action and entertainment, but I’m not gonna get into that now. I’ll wait till the pictures are assembled and the dust has settled. For now I just wanna wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope you had a great Christmas too. Time to rest, I think. Gotta get some sleep this year…!
2009, GO! “(Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone. And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own….”

Happy New Year to you too Dave ^^
happy new year, buddy
looking forward to seeing said pictures. you better not be hiding your face in them…
Happy New Year Dave! You rock to the tenth power!
On another note. Doesn’t the names Sarven and Sareen spell summer action flick..or totally bad ass video game characters?
@mike – Sareen, makes me think of a type of gas that killed people in metros a few years back..
@Dave – Happy to have you there for my birthdays and stuff. We should have gove over the top and made a trip to Kyoto or something
But it as great just seeing old friends again.
I just wished Sarven hadnt chickened out for the Shirakawa, remiscent of the Kumano Koudou during the last times of NUFS, and that we had had time to play the SW game, or any other roleplaying for that matter. Anyways, still a good trip, and thanks for letting me crash at your place!
