Edited to say: I realize now that I'll be back in end of April, I can go to.... prom!
----
with Eric leaving, it's become really sad over here in Tokyo. I know we don't always get along and it was hell getting him here and trying to work out the issues we had, but things are at least moderately ok right now.
Neither of us were expecting this, and especially for it to be less than 24 hour notice. I'm skipping out on work tomorrow to go to the airport with him. I cried a bit, which is not much like me, but I think it's just the shock that I don't have time to adjust to the idea - that it's just going to happen.
I hate when I cry, I have Korean eyes - which when happy mean rainbow slits, when normal mean almond shaped, and when dcrying means puffy so I can't see. We Korean women get a lot of eye surgery to "fix" things like the lack of a fold in our upper lids (both my sister and mother have gotten this and it was pushed on me, but I didn't give in) and the fact that we have a little excess fat/puff in our lower lid - I look at it sometimes, but it's not a problem on me... unless I cry. It gets so horribly swollen I can't describe to you how weird it looks. I put frozen soup packets and oranges on my eyes to try and make it better, but when it gets this way - it takes over 24 hours for it to get back to normal.
I'm here until end of April - and Eric assures me that he will be ready for me when I get back home. He says he'll have an apartment because where he'll be working is east bay... and I mean, EAST east bay.. out of the reaches of bart. I don't know what the plans are for hwen I get back...
but tonight is a quiet dinner, maybe some donuts, packing and preparing for tomorrow.. and probably more crying.
But I have to stop when he leaves or my eyes will get stuck this way.

ps. there was a show on tv about how Koreans have amazing skin compared to the japanese. I told my mom, she said it was genetics and that no one in my family has ever had a pimple.
