What gives!?!I haven't posted in 6 days!
well if you would subscribe to my premium pay per view site then maybe you would. Quick highlights of the week. I called someone 'Osaka 9'. I thought it was really cool. An austrialian asian, (looks asian but has austrialian accent - which is still freaking me out!) had a shirt with 'Osaka 9' written on it. I didn't know his name so I just called him Osaka 9, and he eventually responded when everyone in the room but him knew what was going on. Kinda of a crappy way to get a nick name but you know, I hope it sticks and if it doesn't stick on him, how about you refering to me as Osaka 9? I'll change my MSN nickname right now in real time (some of you may be partaking of this momentous occassion).
Quick note 2: Randomly thing. Walking down the street today I saw a women, and in my head quickly came the thought... hmmm I wonder if she's a tourist or if she's from here? I hear this deep grinding sound coming from her throat and then a plosive sound coming from her lips. Catching a glance of the saliva laden muscusiod sphere that just erudicated from her mouth, my question was answered. She's from here.
Suicide attempt thwarted..
Ms X (for the sake of confidentiality), an English teacher who came here in the summer for the 3 week English program started to call me. She hasnt called me many times in fact last night was only her second time. Slightly strange, though she only wanted to practice English with me, along with everyone else here. So it was a little bit of an annoyance at first since I’m already busy enough as it is; to have another person to talk to in English seemed like the last thing I needed at this point in time. Though I kept a steady heart, and talked with her.
Then last night she called me again, I wasnt doing much but trying to overcome a headache and a stuffed nose. All seemed fine when she told me her boyfriend of 3 years broke up with her. This was very strange her telling me this since I didn’t know her that well, and would think that she might have others whom she could tell, she then went on to tell me that she attempted to take her life the last weekend and ended up in a hospital. I wanted to help her to console her, but my mandarin and her English levels where not at a level that we could. So I asked her if it was okay if a friend of mine here could call her who can console her. She said it was.
So the next day at church I talked to a teacher from this school and another foreign worker about what happened. It was recommended that a local C call and she called Ms X right away but apparently it seemed that she was fine today and was over it.
Which leaves me feeling very suspicious. Why would she trust me so much with this information? Did it really happen or did she just want to tell me something like this? (I believe it did but still.) I don’t believe that she had truly gotten over her emotions with him yet, but perhaps this day it has. If she calls me again about it, I think I will recommend her to call the teacher.
