Earlier today, I was watching Cash Cab with Mike. During a commercial, we saw the preview for the Simpsons movie. He said to me, “Wanna see that with me tomorrow?” And I said yeah. We were just joking, but after a little while after that, I was on vent with him and I asked him what he was doing cuz he was really quiet. He said it’s a surprise. I bothered him about it for the next few minutes. He kept saying he couldn’t tell me and that I was nosy, haha. I said I’ll stop. But then after a few more minutes, he said he was just going to tell me cuz it probably wasn’t going to happen anyway. -_- He was looking to see if he could take a bus down here from Boston tomorrow. He wanted to surprise me by taking a bus to NYC and then come over to NJ so he’d be here when I get out of work and we can watch the Simpsons movie together. He’s so sweet! ^^ Even if he couldn’t do it, it was still really nice of him. ^^;

I really wish I could see him. It feels like it’s been so long since I have.

I told my mom about him today. I figured she kinda knew anyway cuz she always hears me talking on the phone with him and once when she was using my phone (cuz her battery died), he called my phone while she was ending a conversation with my sister. She saw his name. Anyway, she didn’t react the way I thought she would. She just asked me about him; what’s his ethnic background, is he tall, is he thin, what does he do for a living… kinda the questions you’d expect from an Asian mother (I will elaborate at a later time). She asked me if I met him already. I said yeah, when I went to “Boston.” She doesn’t know that I went to actually stay at his house. As far as she knows, I was staying at a hostel in Boston and we were just hanging out. Oh, and that I met his parents. I told her that I was telling her about him because he wanted my parents to know about him. She was asking me how serious the relationship was, cuz I mentioned that he considered moving closer once before (I don’t think so anymore; the store that’s in NYC is so hectic compared to what he’s used to) and she said that she and dad will meet with him if he transferred somewhere closer; at least she would know how serious he was.  I want them to meet him before then, though.  But at least she knows about him and I don’t have to make up something if I go visit him or if he visits me.  No tiptoeing around.

It was a little weird, the conversation.  I thought she was going to be pissed.  I guess it was cuz I was straightforward and maybe cuz he lives closer.  ::shrug::  Well, as long as she’s okay with it.  I may leave it up to her to tell my dad for now.  I don’t talk to my dad, really, and it feels awkward just thinking about how awkward the conversation will be, telling my dad that I’m seeing someone from CS.  Jebus.

Well, that’s all for now.  I’m going back to Mitsuwa to hunt for more stuff for my onigiri.  I also have to buy the rice.  I read that you HAVE to use short grain rice because regular long grain rice (which we have at home) doesn’t stick as well as the short grain rice, so it’s not as easy to mold.

G’night.
