speecherific 

Friday was the closing luncheon of my free (well there is a nominal fee) city Japanese class. I thought I was going to have to make a speech, but no, it wasn't on the schedule. Alas! And my cute not gay fireman is moving to Tokyo so I may not see him again unless I have a chance next time I'm there.

So I had written this speech about how funny he is and how I just had a great old time chatting with him every week. Well I tell you what, I decided if I wrote and practiced my speech I was going to give it anyway so I did. They called him up and I got 75% through before I forgot a word, but by then it was forgivable. He pretended to cry and I pretended to whack him and it was very cute.

Then he gave me some chocolate which was white so I think it was white day chocolate. I'm pretending it was anyway.

So now I guess he's going to start charging into burning buildings for a living. How neat.

Thanks Kanamoto-san!
