Had another wonderful weekend with April. We went to another exist+trace live (which I'll write about later) and then we spent the next night out on the town in Ni-chome. We went to GF, one of the monthly lesbian events, and spent the night drinking and dancing. It was a great time, but we were so tired after being out all night. There was also a matsuri happening literally right outside April's apartment all weekend, so we would periodically pop down to get food from the booths, or check out the mikoshi. Definitely one of the cool parts about living in Japan (except for the fact that it was super noisy outside when we were trying to sleep in after our night out).

Tonight, I Skyped with my Aunt Judy. She wanted to make sure that I was okay after everything with my parents and she wanted me to know that she still loves and supports me. That was good to hear. She wants to meet April. Aunt Judy also told me that she's sure my grandma would have supported me, too. She said that even though Grandma didn't share her opinions too much, that she was actually surprisingly liberal. That really made me feel good, too. Even though things are still hard with my parents, talking to other supportive family members helps me feel better.

You lucky ones! A matsuri, right in front of her apartment... all that tasty stuff they tend to offer at matsuri booths... I'm jealous, I guess. ^____^

Glad to know your talk with your aunt went so well and that you feel a little bit better know.
The harmony-o-meter-cat feels balanced. :D

It was fun! It's too bad that there aren't many festivals in the winter, or else we could go to one when you visit!

Aww, the cat is cute. I was feeling better after my talk with my aunt, until my mom sent me another email...it seems she's still quite upset and doesn't understand anything. :/

I'm glad some people in your family aren't jerks.
