Johnny came over today! Apparently Andy dragged him out to lunch, so afterwards we just played Mario Party & Kart.
Naturally they were crushed when I won. (: I meant to go to that Obon Festival around 5pm, but I really like it when Johnny comes over. I'm sure he's really whatever about it (when I told him he should come over more often, he said why), but it's nice to see him. He played a lot of piano afterwards, and so I did too. He hasn't played in a while, so his playing was littered with mistakes, but it's weird how he can do that, and I'll still think his playing is amazing. He played Chopin's Polonaise at one point, and I suddenly realized I could play that better than him now. It didn't really feel like it though. I was playing that song when Mom walked in and started gushing about how she was (pleasantly) surprised that I could still play anything; she had thought it was Johnny playing! I had forgotten; I had asked Mom to teach me that two years ago after hearing him play it. I asked him if he wanted to come to Obon with me, but he said no, and then Andy went to Sam's to buy some stuff, and so I just left him with Mom.
Jen had warned me parking for Obon was crazy, but I had no idea. I actually managed to find parking just a few blocks down from the festival; only like a foot of my car on the front went into a red zone hahah.
I found Kent there, and he hugged me, and I suddenly realized how much I missed him. I hadn't seen him since his Kendo tournament a week ago, and he hasn't really called or texted either. All the food smelled really good but he said it wasn't really good.
Afterwards we joined in the lines and danced lol. I totally didn't know what the hell I was doing, but there were people in the middle who did, so we just followed along lol. After the first dance, we saw Jen dancing on the other side, and she kept calling us over, so Jasmyne and I ran across, and Kent just stayed with his friends.
The dances got easier as I started to pick up on the patterns and repetition and whatnot. It was actually kind of fun (even though Jennifer totally killed my confidence in the beginning with her commentary lol).
After the dancing finished, Jen ran around with a list of stuff her mom wanted her to buy, so I just tagged along. She went to the corn first, and encouraged me to try it, so I did. The corn cost $2 (and I found out I actually only had two dollars anyway lol), and afterwards we put all this crap on it lol. It was actually really good; I've never had corn like that!Anyhow, we left shortly afterwards. I gave Jen a ride home, and Kent walked us to my car.
