Have returned from wake safe, sound, alive, but a little nauseous from greasy fish and chips we went for after. (Fucking gall bladder.) Parents say I was gracious and nice and perfectly fine.
It was open casket. Yeah. I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I didn't see Ann all that well. And by the way, I am immature and in denial, I half expected her to just get up. I can say it was pretty boring, and a little (sometimes rather) awkward, but not excruciating, and I have done excruciating before. Rose showed up an hour in, and before that I met this little guy-kid who was Minori's student of four years. He looked nervous more than anything, haha I wonder what he thought of the wake.
Minori is due to give a performance at a memorial service for Hiroshima at a church in Boston, and I thought she wasn't going to go, but she IS. So no dim sum with Yang and Olive if they do go tomorrow, I have to go see a service, and it's interesting to see people dance, but not that much, not for three hours, when I want to go have food I like with friends I don't see so often. Mutter. Actually, if I'm dying to go out for dim sum, I probably can because the service is at 2, but...ehhhhh...somebody tell me if you guys are even doing iiittt. Next week there's a memorial party at Minori's house combined with her semi-yearly obon, and that, that's going to be REALLY long and boring. I'm really going to try to get out of that, because I love Minori but I am just not the model of Robin that sits around and talks with weird grownups for hours and hours. People will start offering me sake again, and I can't say I'm too young anymore because I'M 21 AHHHHH.
Omigod, I'm such an ungrateful student. =_=
