today i had my birthday. in general, i've never celebrated my birthday since i was small. today (literally) was the first time i ever celebrated my birthday. i mean, not just alone. last night, i went to my friend Mio's bar just to get wasted. they had a special DJ event so i felt a bit intimidated (Densha Otoko). fortunately, i knew the two workers at the bar so i didn't feel completely alienated. however, around the 5th drink my friends presented me with a nice bday drink and a small present of chocolate brownies. thanks guys!! today, i did a little work at home. afterwards, i went to Shibuya to hang out with Baku for his going away party. I got to see Emiko, Sawako, Taiga, Keika, Hitomi, and a few other friends that I met before. It was great seeing them again. Out of nowhere after the main course was served, they presented me with a bday cake! Tanjyobi cake nanda!!!!! I didn't have to jump off the roof in Akihabara! i was so happy and embarrassed since I've never celebrated my bday since my childhood. usually, it was promptly forgotten. this time all these people were there to sing me happy bday! arigato gozaimasu minasan! Densha-kun has indeed returned to Tokyo! maybe my most interesting gift wasn't the cake, but meeting all these people. especially this weather announcer from NHK! that was so cool! i love it here because i get to meet all these interesting people! hontou ni uresehii yo! -America no Densha Otoko
