Lemon's drop-inn

better texture that way!

[Watery Star]

Yeah.

Ugh, I don't have much of an appetite today.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

that's the way I have been but today I am actually hungry so I had to run to the store to get some food.

I bought some yellow sweetie grapes - never seen them before - but they are firm like a Thompson grape, smaller then most green grapes but definitely sweeter.

As I promised, I have arrived to update you all on the situation between my friend and I. As you know, we sort of stopped talking and I started to worry thinking he was mad at me or hated me or something. Whenever I tried talking to him it was just silence and after a while I stopped trying to say anything.

Today however, he woke me up with a phone call. I wasn't too happy since it was 6am when that happened, but I was still happy that he at least decided to check up on me. We've been talking for most of the day and I told him about wanting to go see him, and he wasn't opposed to it. However, he agreed with what my mom said, that he should visit me first before I even go over there.

For anyone curious, the trip to visit him is two days long. OTL

[Of the Stars]

Is he back from his trip?

Glad things are ok between you two. It does sound better that he visits you first since traveling sounds like it would be taxing on you. Yeah, I can imagine it taking that long by bus. My old boyfriend drove from Texas to the DC/MD/VA area and it was estimated at 2 to 3 days (but he drove leisurely and took closer to a week).

[JinMay]

Yeah he returned Monday but he was kinda moody it seemed. Idk.

Traveling sounds terrifying since I'd be going by myself and I fear I'll probably get lost and cry like a big baby. lol Oh wow, that's a very long drive! I'm assuming he took breaks to take naps right? I'd probably take a crap ton of energy pills so that I don't fall to sleep on the bus.

[Of the Stars]

It can be tough traveling by yourself.
Yeah he stopped at rest stops and slept at camp sites. He made the trike over an enjoyable experience.
Well with it being a two day bus trip, you're going to need to sleep. I'd only worry about the caffeine when your within hours from your destination.

[JinMay]

Good for him! I'd sleep if I could, but I'm afraid that if I did I'd miss my stop.
Hmmm, perhaps I can sleep once I reach LA. That's usually around 2am so yeah. I can doze.

I mean, I think I can get away with a little sleep if my destination is in a different state right? lol

[Lemon Cheesecake]

You can set an alarm on your phone so that you can sleep while you are traveling on the bus or the train. Tell the driver where you need to get off just in case. But better he comes to you and meets your family (if he hasn't already). Maybe he can fly or fly and rent a car?

Your family will be cautious and that is a good thing so hear them out.

[JinMay]

Heya Lemon!

Those are both great ideas!
As for my parents, don't worry. Heheh
I don't plan on traveling anywhere any time soon. Tickets are pretty pricey so I want to save up enough money to get one ticket that's valid both ways if that makes sense?

I think he'd drive here. Not sure when he will, but there's no rush I suppose.
My family is embarrassing so I'm kinda nervous about him even showing up if he ever decides to.

I like your avatar JinMay!
My mom can be really embarrassing, so I feel for you there.

[mdom]

hehe meeting the family ain't easy!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

no, that is true Mdom, it can be awkward but if it is to become anything serious better to know if he/she accepts you despite your family!

[mdom]

My aunt was saying that when my uncle proposed, my grandma (who was against the marriage because my aunt isn't Japanese) went to her house and started to talk bad things of her own son, hahaha.

Thanks!
It's just, if I'm talking to a guy my mom already assumes there's something going on.
If I bring a guy over, my dad sits him down and has the talk with him.
(it's no wonder I never invite anyone over)

Hey Mdom!
No it's not, it's tough.
I have no problem meeting other people. But I am very shy so talking to them isn't ever easy.
Oh man she did? That's not nice.

Lemon, you have a good point there. -nods-
