During orientation, I had to get my computer registered at the CIE computer lab...ok...whatever...so I go there with my laptop at my time slot. When I get there, I'm met by a friendly Japanese girl, who then points me to a cute Japanese guy. Oh my poopscates!!! >.<
I start my computer so he can look up two of my computer's physical addresses, and while doing so, I start talking to him about random things...whatever pops into my mind. The first few things are normal like: Are you a student? What year are you? What's your major? And in between each question is an awkward silence...when he sees my desktop background with members of The Gazette (one of the best Japanese bands ever!!!), he asks me who they are and some other questions about them. Of course, I was pleased to share my knowledge. XD For the next few minutes, we talked bands. Then, when he was looking for one of the physical addresses on my computer, he couldn't find it (I couldn't find it either) so he had to ask the Japanese girl to help...after looking, she left with an EEEEEEEHHHHH!!!
My computer turned out to be special...so special in fact that it took an hour (rather than ten minutes) to register my computer. Another Japanese guy with awesome hair (it was an uneven hairstyle; short on one side and long on the other) rolled in between...(I'm going to call him H) H and I to look at my computer. Of course he asked me what band was on my desktop background, and I told him The Gazette and proceeded to ask if he knew them and liked them. He knew them, but he said they were ok. -.-...no comment...
After getting confused, he left, and H and I automatically closed his space and continued talking. I spoke like I had some speech impediment, and I even talked to him about working out...somehow that seems like a weird topic to be talking about to a cute guy. XP He then asked me who my favorite band member was from the Gazette, and I pointed to Reita...but before he could get a better look, the guy with awesome hair came between us again and tried again at my computer...he sat there for a while, and I was just sitting there awkardly, looking at my phone, around the lab, watching the clock, making faces, and of course, meditating on how awkward the situation was. Eriko, my RA, and a friend of hers then came into the computer lab and sat across from where I was sitting, and judging by the look in (I'm going to call him AHG for awesome hair guy because I didn't ask him what his name was) AHG's eyes and the smirk on his face he either A) liked Eriko or her friend B) he has that type of cocky personality or C) both.
Eriko said hi to me and then AHG talked to her in Japanese, making me feel even more awkard sitting there, waiting for my computer to get internet (life without it can be incredibly boring or a pain). Once again, AHG left because he couldn't figure my computer out, and I guess I looked depressed or disturbed...or like someone haunted by a ghost that doesn't stop singing Friday by Rebecca Black because H said, "Everything will be alright."
We continued talking again, and I was getting comfortable talking to him about things that were even more random than before, but eventually, I ran out of things to say, and when AHG came back, I got out my notebook to prevent another long awkward sitting session. Shortly after, H left to help someone else get their computer registered...Darn me and my notebook and awkwardness...so I decided to talk to AHG...it was more awkward talking to him, but I enjoyed talking rather than sitting there awkwardly. After a little while, he told me I would have to go somewhere else to get my computer fixed...so I followed him and said goodbye to H as I headed towards the door, but then AHG told me I had to stay ten more minutes, so I awkwardly told H I guess not... I sat down with AHG again, and he was definitely dramatic like me...he had an epiphany and went AHHHH!!! while looking at me, to which I copied him but did the expression that Kevin did in Home Alone when he was putting on his dad's cologne?...he then turned my computer upside down...wrote down a number and that was the key to getting my computer registered. He was so happy that he figured it out, and we high fived each other...he then told all the other workers in the computer lab, and they all got excited. I told AHG thank you in Japanese to which he didn't respond and just left...ok???
As a result of my time in the computer lab, I've been more in tune with my awkwardness and shyness. I then had an idea for writing a series of books called an awkward girl abroad....maybe I'll write them...after I write all the other books I need to finish...hehe
Anyway, this incident was a week and a half ago. I've seen AHG several times but not H. It's almost as if he had vanished, which is dissapointing because I would have liked him as a friend (anyone interested in The Gazette or who likes The Gazette must me my friend XD). I would try to be friends with AHG, but he's always talking with someone, which makes it hard for me to cut in and talk to him. I have a story about him for later...Dun Dun Dun!
