Meeting with KHma

I was invited to go to dinner at TTki's house again, since it would be the last one they would host for this new year's festival. I was planning to go until I received an e-mail from my friend that I haven't seen since Nov 2003. She would be leaving for Sapporo in a few days, so today was the only day I could see her before she left. So I did the unadmirable thing and bowed away from the dinner to spend with my friend.

I had awakened around 2pm since I didn't sleep till really late working last night. But we scheduled a meeting time at 3:30pm, which would mean that I would have to get ready at that moment and leave my house. I arrived at Yokohama station around 3:15pm and was shocked to see the hundreds of people lined up outside of the spot where we decided to meet. It was notorious for having a huge sale at the beginning of a new year. So it was jammed packed. We met around 3:35pm and we went to grab some food. I picked up an order of pasta, and she just watched me eat it. We had a pretty good conversation even though she only speaks Japanese. I could for the most part understand what she was saying. Which was a surprise to me. After I finished lunched, we walked over to Sakuragicho area, and strolled around Minato Mirai.

All the places had a lot of people looking for things to buy. We walked from Yokohama station to Sakuragicho in a direction that I've never been before, so that was good. But it was really really really windy, which made it cold.We stayed indoors for a bit before walking over to Yokohama World Porters. Then after a little bit of window shopping, we went back to Queen's square and sat and talked at a cafe. I treated her to lunch, so she would treat me to a snack. It was nice to catch up with her. She's a really funny person, something I didn't know about her the first time I met her. This was only the second time we've met. I learned a lot of things about the members of both groups that went to San Diego, and came from San Diego. Quite interesting. From there we went our separate ways, and I came home to eat McDonalds. Why not? The food was on sale too, and I figured I haven't eaten junk food in a long while that I should grab a bite to eat. For some strange reason, I couldn't get to sleep. I stayed up till around 5am. I tried really hard, but I just couldn't.
