What's wrong, Mako-chan??
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
*counts back slowly...*
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
It's been 22 years since that plane crash...
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
*nods softly, realizing what Mako-chan is talking about*
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
All this time, most of my family's things were left back home in Osaka, because there was no room to bring them down to the apartment in Tokyo, y'know?
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
My uncle was taking care of stuff, but now he wants to move.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
So I had to go up there this weekend, and sort things out.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Are you okay??
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
After my parents... well, he didn't touch anything, saying it was all my inheritance.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
in '99 the trust vested and I got control of everything, but I never went up there to look at any of it.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I just... couldn't.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
That's the trust you were living off of when you were in school??
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
Ya... my uncle stood in for me so I could have my own place and such, but all the bills came from that.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
So... it was like... having to go up there and dispose of things that were a big part of my parents' lives.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
It felt wrong, y'know?
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
I don't... mama and papa are still around...
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
Well it's something I don't wish on ya.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
So many familar sights and smells... to hold the stuff in your hand that you know your pop liked to work with...
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
Tools, and items, and things that were precious to him..
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
And then to have to chuck it because there's no room, no way to take it back with you.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
It hurts.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Mako-chan...
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I mean, it hasta be done, right? There's no way. But it's like... kind of a finality.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I mean living in Tokyo all the time, with the house bein' in Osaka, it always felt like they were still there, just... not in touch, y'know?
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I mean, I'd been in Tokyo so long my accent even faded away by Junior High.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
But to go back... it just hammered everything home...
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I'd just realized they were gone! ^_^;;
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Mako-chan...
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
Man, ya gotta tsukkomu me on that
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
*smacks Mako-chan on the back of the head*
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I'm okay, I guess
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
We accumulate so much stuff over a lifetime, don't we?
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I feel bad about putting that to waste.
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Ne, ne...
| | | | |
|
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Your parents got things that made them happy.
| | | | |
|
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
They enjoyed them.
| | | | |
|
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
They don't use them now.
| | | | |
|
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
They wouldn't want you to suffer carrying all their things everywhere you go..
| | | | |
|
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Your suffering would make them sad, right??
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
I guess...
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
I guess cherish the herlooms and things that make you happiest when you look at them...
| | | | |
|
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
I dunno, this isn't something I had to deal with...
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
No, it makes sense
| | | | |
| |
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
*hugs Mina-P*
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
^^ I haven't been called that in a long time!!
| | | | |
|
| | | | IrnChef_Jovian>
Well I have things to take care of, bbl!
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
See you Mako-chan!!

That was touching, Sempai.
| | | | |
|
| | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Ano... why didn't you say something if you were larking there?
| | | | |
| |
| | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
That too...
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | FireFly_9>
Because I don't know Makoto-san all that well, and she's your best friend.
| | | | |
|
| | | | | FireFly_9>
Also, I've been updating my homepage.
| | | | |
|
| | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
You have a homepage?!!?
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | FireFly_9>
Yes, remember back in 2004 when most of us started blogs and then promptly forgot about them?
| | | | |
|
| | | | [gTV] C'est_la_V>
Hai, hehehe~
| | | | |
| |
| | | | | FireFly_9>
Well since I don't really have time for social networking and the like, I've repurposed it to catalog the internet videos that are put out here from time to time.
| | | | |
|
