#we didnt want to ask for a picture bc he’s in a shop buying food like a normal person (he also wasn’t wearing shoes but i cant explain that)

[bisexual-panic]

you met hozier?!

yea i briefly saw him at a grocery store (not gonna say where for his privacy and my own but in ireland where i live)

long story short i was with my friend and we started excitedly whispering to each other and he noticed and kinda smiled at us and my friend (who’s a lot more confident than me) yelled “we love your songs” across the store and then he laughed a bit

anyway i can die happy now

i’ve been a huge fan of him for years and think his songs are utter masterpieces and his voice is hauntingly beautiful. also so proud to be irish

[namuneulbo]

week one hundred and nine

ive decided im gonna add the title bff to l for a bit now so its easier to tell apart my bff l from my talking stage l lol.

all i remember from monday was that n made me pick my fav trigun character. apparently im wolfwood lovercoded so she was happy i picked him.

tuesday was my high school grad! i wore a big white button-up as a dress w a black tie and my cowprint heels. i liked the outfit a lot!

the ceremony was wayyy longer than anticipated. afterwards my mom took some real awkward pictures of me. later we went for food, we were gonna get mexican but ended up going to this asian fusion place that turned out to be shit TT

we walked through some stores afterwards and then sat at a café for a bit before i had to leave to catch my piercing appointment. i got my right lobe and my belly pierced!! it hurt less than i expected it too which was nice. i got pretty anxious afterwards though bc i thought my ear would heal like shit bc of how close it seemed to the other piercing but its fine now lol.

wednesday we (me, i, bff l and c) hung at bass place and watched the annual president ball hand shaking thing. my old drum teacher was there??? i devoured some cucumber w dip and then i was nice enough to drive us to the music quiz. me and bff l ended up joining l and a. they played hash pipe by weezer right as we joined them which i got really excited ab!!!

i had an oral exam on thursday and i was so terrified ab it. me and d hadnt practiced beforehand but we ended up passing and i think our convo still ended up quite good. the criticism i received afterwards was ab how i said "이 아침" and "이 밤" instead of "오늘 아침" and "오늘 밤". its all good though, ended up getting an a on it so :D

friday i went to a second-hand shop to look for clothes but i had forgot that the one i went to doesnt sell clothes so i ended up looking and cds for a bit. i found born this way on cd and snapped l like "omg lol should i buy it?" but he didnt answer until i had left so i had just kind of left it behind bc i didnt think it was worth it but then later when he answered he was all like "OMG NOOO U SHOULDVE GOTTEN IT SO WE CAN MATCH" TT. so, on saturday when i went out to go thrifting, i stopped by that shop again and got it.

on friday evening me and l watched the perks of being a wallflower. i really liked it and the soundtrack was so good. its one of his favorite movies and i had either way been planning to watch it. he asked me actually last week if i wanted to watch it together w him but we ended up not doing it but i was glad he still remembered on friday.

btw we exchanged twitter on friday. i had to delete all my tweets ab him beforehand so ended up leaving him on delivered for like an hour TT sorry, pookie, im just embarrassed if u see all the tweets ab u of me going "HES SO HOT HE JUST SENT ME SUCH A CUTE PICTURE OF HIS OUTFIT OMG HES SO-."

after buying the cd on saturday i went to one other shop and there i got an anklet and a flannel. i wouldve gone to a third one but it was closed. i wouldve gone today instead buttttttt it closes so early. it closes and 4 pm and i woke up at 12 pm and spent a good... two hours (?) getting ready and the stores quite far away and its massive so i dont think id be able to look through it in time TT maybe im just making excuses.

l and i didnt really talk yesterday, only like... three snaps each and some tiktoks. he was out on bereal yesterday though so im assuming he was just busy and also its good to not,, feel like u constantly HAVE to talk to keep it going, yk? im working a lot on my anxious attachment and its actually gotten way better over just the past few weeks id say bc im starting to really feel like the feelings are thoroughly mutual. with that said... i do hope we talk more today lol. i love talking to him.

hi!! i just found your blog and i may or may not have binged all the fics 😼😼 i was wondering if you could write a dabi or hawks x male reader where the reader is a rly gentle and kind barista and dabi/hawks is just wHIPPED for him? i think thatd be mad cute 👉👈

LMAOOO DABI + HAWKS TIME TURN IT UP-

——————

Headcannons - Dabi and Hawks whipped for their local barista

⚠️Warnings - kidnapping (dabi)

Pronouns - male, he/him

——————

Dabi:

Ok so like hear me out

At first

AT FIRST

you didn’t catch this mans eye

In fact, he didn’t go to the coffee shop you worked at much because yknow...villain...

But it was late at night one day yk

And mans was like “oh boy, i sure am thirsty after committing homcide and robbery”

N the first place he sees

Dun dun dun

Is the 24 hr coffee shop you worked at HAHAHA

So he goes in, preparing to like-idk, threaten ur life for a cup of coffee or smth mean n whatnot

The door bell rings, and you turn around and give him the KINDEST MOST GENTLE-EST SMILE HES EVER SEEN

As a villain, and just someone who looks out of the ordinary in general, he never got much of that

SO WHEN HE SEES THIS...MAN SMILING FUCKING SUN RAYS AT HIM

HE FREEZES

You ask him if he’s ok, and DAMN UR VOICE WAS SO SOFT IT WAS BARELY INAUDIBLE WHAGSHDHEH

Mans usually isn’t at a loss for words but HE IS NOW

Instead of threatening you for a cup of coffee, he actually orders like a normal person

He’s the only one in the cafe since it’s so late, and you had the late night shift lucky you

He sat in the corner with his coffee in silence, occasionally stealing glances at you sweeping the floor or counting the money in the register

what was this foreign feeling in his chest whavabwhshs

He didn’t notice when you walked up to him

mans almost roasted you alive

LMAO BUT HE DIDNT SO IT OK

“Are you doing okay? Do you want a refill?”

He wasn’t really thirsty anymore but he did get a refill because he wanted to stay and watch you work some more like a creep

Yeah, one refill turned to three and he ended up talking to you for the rest of the night AWW

He was honestly suprised you didn’t know he was a villain, with the dark coat and scars and stuff

He ended up buying more coffee to take back to the league with the money he stole HAHAHA

Toga, sipping on her third coffee: yo why u buy so much damn

Dabi: 🤠

He started coming over more and more in the dead of night, on the days you worked which he totally didn’t find out by sneaking into the back room of the cafe and checking the schedule

You, somehow, didn’t find it suspicious that he’d always visit whenever you worked

One day, on one of the numerous times he’s visited, you mentioned how you used to be a bartender before switching over to being a barista

Something just...clicked

He’s a villain, right? Why’s he going so far to appeal to you, when he could just kidnap you and convince you to join the league?

So he did just that

You woke up in their weird club bar room hideout, tied to a chair with dabi and a few unfamiliar faces

Dabi lowkey felt bad (even for him) because even though you were literally just kidnapped, you gave him one of those heartwarming smiles

Even if it was a bit scared and forced, and probably a coping mechanism out of fear

“Look I ain’t gonna hurt you, dude. You’re one of my favorite people, so I’m offering you a deal.”

“Siiiiiiimp.”

“Shut the fuck up, Toga.”

Dabi nudged the girls side.

A girl with blond hair and a school girls uniform pointed a knife at you. You flinched and dabi kept talking

“You said you used to be a bartender, right? I’m sure you can help this guy out behind the counter. Join us.”

Dabi motioned at Kurogiri. He waved, LMAOO

“Join me...please”

As scared as you were, you couldn’t deny the fact you had a soft spot for this scarily intimating man who’d sit in the corner and sip coffee everyday at work

Hell, sometimes (all the time LNAJS) you joined him and you’d talk for hours

And hearing this guy say “please” for the first time?

You nodded slowly, and dabi smiled

It was a nice smile, even if it was a bit scary

How could you possibly refuse?

——————

Hawks:

Since he wasn’t yknow...fucking iilegal and a villain, he came by to your coffee shop during the day

He was workin, caught and turned in a villain yk the usual

And he was kinda far away from his house, n he was gettin kinda hungry

He was flying around the city, when he spotted your lil coffee shop

Well, it wasn’t really a coffee shop, more like a food stop that so happens to sell coffee n drinks aswell

And hEY

you just opened up too, it was a relatively new place

My mans hawks supporting new & local businesses <3

He goes in right

He sees yakitori on the menu and goes :D

So he goes to order

And sees this,,, BEAUTIFUL HANDSOME MAN BEHIND THE COUNTER

“Hi Mister! What can I do you for?”

YOUR VOICE WAS LIKE FUCKING ANGELS SINGING WHAGSHW

I think the main reason hawks was drawn to you was the fact you didn’t treat him like a celebrity and kissed his ass n whatnot, mainly bc you didn’t really keep up nor care about the trending hero’s and stuff (no offense to hawks and none taken)

He choked on his yakitori when you walked up to his lil table and asked for a picture for ur grandpa (who was a BIG fan, unlike you)

MANS REALLY HAD TO PUT ON HIS MOST CHARMING SMILE AND PEACE SIGN THIS SIMP IM HDHEIDIE

He kept going out of his way to visit ur shop frequently even though he lived preeeeetty far off

I mean mans has wings so it ain’t a problem but-

This simp-

He doesn’t show up in his hero outfit (unless he’s coming from patrol) so you didn’t really see him as “Hawks the hero”, more like “Keigo, the man who has stupid endeavor shorts and likes yakitori”

It’s really sweet he shows up in stupid graphic shirts and sweatpants he looks comfy-

He openly flirts with you, and at first you laughed and smiled because you didn’t wanna be rude (it still did things to Keigos heart)

but then

Ur laughs n smiles when he drops a stupid pickup line? They real

The way you offer to take over ur coworkers shifts just to see if Hawks stops by? It’s love just admit it

The totally unfair discount you gave him on yakitori, not mentioning the way you know how Keigo prefers it by heart? Just ask him out already DAMN

You two didn’t have any personal info on eachother, no numbers, emails, hell, Keigo didn’t know your first name (in Japan, you don’t really go by first names unless ur with fam or close friends yk?)

So when you nervously hand him his box of yakitori one day?

Hawks is like 🤠👍?

He opens it and sees:

“(Xxx)-xxx-xxxx -call me, and maybe we can, I don’t know, go out on a date and get to know each other more, yakitori-kun? ~(Y/n)

So ur first name was (Y/n), huh

HES WHIPPED

HES SIMPING

He looks over at you, hiding ur face and sneaking glances at him while ur coworkers stiffing snickers and nudging ur side

GOD TAKE HIM NOW

you bet ur ass hes calling u later and saving ur contact as “My yakitori man (Y/n) ✨❤️”

——————

Thank y’all for 700, by the way !! I love you all !!

word count: 1346

____________________

Your friend asked you for a huge favor, “Look! I know that you really hate these kinds of things, but I swear this guy is really cool! So many of my classmates in my department have a crush on the guy!”

You rolled your eyes, “Then why don’t you ask one of them to go on the blind date?”

“Because! I don’t know. I just think you’d really be a good match with him,” she started to mumble, “and it’s been awhile since you’ve been on a date. I don’t want your youth to wither away before your eyes.”

“It hasn’t been that long!” you scoffed at your friend.

Your friend crossed her arms, “It’s literally been two years since you broke up with your ex-boyfriend.”

“M-maybe I just don’t want a boyfriend.” You stuttered.

“Oh yeah,” your friend snorted, “because that just sounded so convincing.”

“I just think that if I were to fall in love or become interested in someone that we’d meet organically.” You sighed.

“And how has that been working out for you?” your friend laughed.

“Fine,” you groaned, “But if this date is terrible, you owe me lunch.”

“If it goes terrible, then I’ll buy you dinner too!” your friend grinned, “That’s how confident I am in this blind date!”

....

Days later, your friend sent you all his contact information and even a picture of him. You had to admit that when you saw him, you understood a little bit why so many people in your friend’s department had a crush on him.

After a couple of minutes of waiting at the station, you looked at your phone to check the time. It wasn’t too late to bail. He hadn’t arrived yet, so you could leave right now. You began to walk back inside the subway station when someone called out your name. You looked in the direction that it came from and saw your date. You awkwardly waved at him and cursed yourself for not leaving at least thirty seconds earlier. He jogged in your direction and showed you a bright smile. You felt your heart skip a beat. “I know your friend told you this already, but I’m Oikawa Tooru.”

You bowed and introduced yourself. He smiled, “Should we get going to our reservation?”

You nodded in response, and the two of you walked towards the restaurant. On the way there, you asked, “I know you and my friend are in the same department at school, but how did you two get to know each other?”

“We actually have known of each other for a while, but I guess we finally had a chance to talk to each other a couple months ago because of a group project!” he answered.

“I see.” You smiled, “So, then how did she convince you to go on this blind date?”

Oikawa grinned at you, “I asked her to set it up for me!”

Your cheeks turned red, and you awkwardly chuckled, “I hope I don’t disappoint you then.”

The two of you had reached the restaurant and were seated at a table near the window. Oikawa propped his chin on his hands and asked, “So, tell me about yourself.”

“How about you tell me about yourself first while I think of something to tell you?” You suggested.

“Well, I’m on the school’s volleyball team.” He replied, “I play setter!”

You thought for a moment on the little information you might have learned in high school and said, “They’re the ones that set up for the offense, right?”

Oikawa gave you peace sign, “Correct! You should come and watch some our games one day. Some people say I have hands made for setting.”

You laughed and looked at your own hands, “How would you know if you have good hands for setting?”

He gently grabbed your left hand and examined your fingers. Oikawa continued, “Well, it’s good if a setter has bigger hands or longer fingers. And looking at your hand, you have do have long fingers.”

You felt your hand heat up from his touch but joked, “Maybe I should have played volleyball then.”

Oikawa beamed, “I could teach you!”

“Maybe next time.” You laughed, trying to politely decline.  

Oikawa smirked, “Oh, so there’s gonna be a next time?”

Before you could answer, the waitress asked you for your order. You pulled your hand away and picked up the menu. After you gave her your order, Oikawa said, “Okay, I’ve told you a little bit about me. How about you?”

You smiled and cocked your head a bit, “Uhm, well I don’t know. Where should I start?”

Oikawa laughed, “Okay. How about we play 20 questions?”

You grinned at his suggestion, “Sounds interesting. Question 1?”

“Favorite color?” he started off.

“Turquoise.” You answered.

He raised his eyebrows, and you tilted your head confused at his response. He chuckled and then shook his head, “Favorite food?”

“Milk bread.” You nodded.

Oikawa raised his eyebrows again, but before you were able to ask what it was about, he already moved on, “Question three. Worst habit?”

“I have a tendency to really get obsessed with things that I’m interested in. Like I’ll pick doing whatever I’m into at that moment over sleep.” You replied.

Oikawa went slightly wide-eyed, and you laughed, “What? What is it? You’ve been making that face with each answer I’ve been giving you.”

“It’s just that all of our answers are pretty similar.” He smiled, “You didn’t stalk me or something before this date, right?”

You scoffed, “I’ve never even seen you before in real life before today!”

“In real life?” he asked.

“Our friend sent me a picture of your face to see what you looked like, but I swear that’s it!” you laughed, “Speaking of, what made you ask our friend to set us up on a date?”

Oikawa’s cheeks turned slightly red and said, “I thought I was asking the questions!”

“Now that sounds suspicious.” You laughed, “I’ll get back to it later when you’ve finished the 15 other questions.”

“15?” he repeated, “I only asked three!”

You shook your head and grinned, “Nope! You just asked me two questions right now.”

Oikawa playfully sighed and leaned back on his chair, “Fine. Question 5…”

The two of you were walking on the street eating the ice cream you bought from an ice cream shop. You put a spoonful of ice cream into your mouth and said, “Okay. You have one question left, and before the game is completely over, let me ask you my one question.”

Oikawa licked his ice cream cone and said, “Shoot.”

You smiled, “Why did you ask my friend if she could set us up on a blind date?”

“I’d always seen you around campus. If I said that it was like love at first sight, would you believe me?” he answered.

You took a bite of your ice cream and tried to recall the day that happened, and you burst out laughing, “Nope! Give me the real reason.”

“I would just see you on campus more often than most people. You always have a smile on your face while walking to class or something. It made me curious to know what was going on in your head.” Oikawa looked at you and grinned, “I mean, it also helped that I think you’re pretty attractive. ”

You felt your cheeks turn red but scoffed, “Thanks, I guess.” 

“Anyways,” Oikawa changed the subject, “Time for the 20th question.”

He stepped in front of you and asked, “Would you go on another date with me after today?”

“ Well, let’s just sat that I’m glad I didn’t end up bailing on this date thirty seconds before you called my name.” You smirked, walking around him, leaving him behind.

A huge smile grew on Oikawa’s smile until he realized that you confessed to nearly bailing on this date. He yelled, “Wait! You were going to bail on this date?!”

“Sorry!” you sang, “Your 20 questions are up! I think we have to wait for next time.”

Brother Samson And Sister Debbie’s Story continues

Sista Debbie writes, "And I slept in his room for the first time". (June 16, 2013)

On the day some graduates who are jobless wrote an employment exams @ a nearby town did I went 2 my love's shop. I prepared his delicious meal, which is pounded yam with melon soup...He did not like engine grinded pounded yam, he says dat d so called engine pounded yam is not usually soft n well articulated 2geda like d 1 pounded in a morter by pestle...such engine grinded boiled yams do have lattices n inter-callaces, spaces, d atoms and ions are scattered, dey do not form a good compound, its cohesive forces are not strong...it does not form a good ball, good morsel,, when rolled 2geda by d fingers b4 dipping into d soup b4 going into d mouth 4 onward swallowing...it is essentially not a good representation of pounded yam, although it is fair, manageable, but nay good, if some1 has ever tasted such b4...so my love said...

Having felt his pulse on this, and having understand my one and only one...I decide 2 pound d yam...it was smooth, soft, succulent like a baby's ear-lobe...Before I did dis, I have grinded pepper, tomatoes, onions, locust bean, I added cray-fish and melon, all these were grinded on d ancient mortar...People, expert women in cooking, say dat pepper grinded using ancient stone mortar is usually sweeter than d ones grinded by engines, d new technological inventions...Afta I was thru with dis, I have gotten other additives like vegetables, dry fishes, lungs and liver of animals which I have cut 2 small sizes,...all these r going into d grinded melon n others...On d 2nd kerosine stove, I boiled d meat, cow meat, whose nearly dried boiled water shall also serve as other additives to d melon 2 be cooked...Afta dis I fried d meats and a little pepper which i shall add on d melon-vegetable soup afta it is done...At d expiration of d soup did I peeled d Yams and put it on fire...Washed d mortar

And psetle...getting set for the pounding...Afta all said n done, I was thru with all...Afta I took my bathe, arranged d foods in order...off 2 my love's office cum shop...As usual, he was busy in his office, preparing some notes, I guess he shall be ministering 2moro @ d church or perhaps he had an impromptu message 2 deliver @ a place, because he looked subsumed in his thoughts and writings, but I am yet 2 be fully briefed of what he is busy doing in his office...I entered, genuflected few millimeters off d door frame as I stepped into his office...dropped my bag on a settee...and said, "ẹ ku isẹ oni o", I did not wait 4 his response as I walked to his side hugged him and pecked him on d right cheek...took about 3 steps back and dropped d container containing his cooked food @ a corner behind where he sits...""O se o" , but u are a bit late", he replied. "Ẹ má mà dami lohun", I said, as I was dropping d bag. "What is it that has kept u back all dis while?" He asked, as he continue

Writing. "Se ẹ nisẹ fun mi ni?" I asked. "Oh yes. Oh no..." He paused 4m what he was writing, I guess he has muddled up some points...he then speaks loud, ostentatiously not to me, that, ""...As he journied on, he stopped...He will also stop to answer you today and now in Jesus name..." I said "amen". He was quickly writing this down 4m dis I discern dat I am disturbing d flow of "stuffs" which I guess is spiritual, then, I excused myself 4m his office as I said, "My love, am so, so sorry to disturb you, let me go and join the sales staff @ sales department, and when u are thru u can call 4 me". "Oh, thank you dearie...I am sorry 4 the inability 2 attend 2 u now,...I shall soon be through with this section and I will come over and meet you there", he said, dropping the ball-pen, resting his back on the chair and looking directly @ me..."It is no problem "mai" lord, take good care of yourself and do the right justices to the outlined points, as we also continue with the other aspects,

Division of labour "sé", (he nodded his head in affirmative) selling the stocked goods", I said... ""Ẹ se o", I should be thru soon..." he said, half of this last statement I didnt hear because I have already opened d office door, so d noise of the office door as it moves on the hinge dat fastened it to d oda part of d structure shielded his words 4m my hearing...I also gave d sales department staffs their foods, I wrapped their pounded yams in a leaf, "ewe iran" as it is called in our Island and I put their soup in "take-aways", a combustible bowl like structure. The sales staffs are doing justices 2 d food one afta anoda...They did not eat d food @ once dis is done so dat there shall be free staffs to attend 2 customers...Afta a while, every1 has eaten his/her portion...we continued selling things @ d sales department/outlet, but when there is no customer, we resort 2 gisting...we are also taking note of the goods that are out-of-stock, those that are few copies left...so dat "mai"

Lord be intimated of what is left in stock and he wil place orders for more copies as soon as soon can be...I got to d shop @ 14:30 hours the Island's time, but as @ 15:30 hours "mai" love is yet 2 come out...he though sends messages 2 update me through facebook...@ 16:15 hours, he finally came out of his office... ""Se ko si "problems" pẹlu awọn "customers" o"", he said as he walked 2 where I am, placed his 2 palms on my shoulders, becuase I was facing outside while I back d office, as I felt his palms on my shoulders, so I felt his lips touching my head, because my hair was plaited and I had no scarf or cap on...he kissed my head like the Europeans..."I think i love this", I said 2 mysef...""Ko si" problems sire", a staff replied.... ""Agbara Ọlọrun ka awọn to wa "sire", another staff added...""To ò, ẹ ku isẹ o", he said...After he has answered them, he spoke 2 me in a hushed tone, ""Ẹ ku ijoko, se o binu pupọ?" he asked....I shook my head for negativity, ""rara o". Why would I be

Angry? With whom shal I be annoyed? How shall I be miffed?" I asked....He has now put his hands by d arms of d chair, his right hand on d right arm of d chair while his left rests on d left arm of d chair, as he rested his chin on my right shoulder...Just then, one of d staffs looked back and said, ""ỌGA",I like this posture "o"" the other sales staffs looked back and they started commenting, as if we have posted a comment on d facebook, "me too sire", anoda staff said, ""Eleyi ko" bad "o"", anoda staff yet added...."Let us take the picture sire" a staff said and they all chorused thus, "Yes. Yes. Yes. The picture, it shal be good for your profile..." They did not even wait 4 a reply 4m any of us as someone out of them took my fone 4m d table and took the picture...afterwards he said, ""Ọga, look at it, isnt it lovely?" Turning 2 me, he said "abi anti? Isnt it innovative and enthralling?" My love took it 4m him looking @ it he said, ""Ẹyin lẹ mọ̀, se bi ẹ ti yà á tan"".

"No sire. Not a matter of "sebi a ti yà á tan", to be frank and sincere sire, pass comment", a staff said. "Hum... Well...I think so", my love said.... ""Mo mọ tọga bẹ́ẹ̀", I think "nã ni" always", anoda staff enthused. "Ok. What do u want me 2 say, "ẹyin ọmọ yi"", my love said. Anoda staff replied, "With all sense of humility and respect sire", bowing his head, "we expect a nay or yea answer 4m you sire. Isnt this picture respledent, lovely, gorgeous, inspiring, enthralling, tantalizing,..." My love interjected, "I think you have made millions today...or what really happened? Because all of you are joyous", he asked. "We bless God 4 today's sales "ná ọga", as you all know no dull moment with us here, because the joy of the Lord is our strong room (someone among them said "Yes o") but that apart sire, isnt this pics inviting?" the staff concludes. Another staff said, "This pics shall hit the enemies @ a dangerous place sire, when they see it on air". ""O dara nã", it is fine. "Kilẹ fẹ

Gbà nidi ọrọ yi?" My love said.... They all clapped their hands, as if they have re-hearsed it before they chorused, ""Oluwa seun". That is what we wanna hear", a staff added "1st time in history "ọga" conceeds d discussion 2 us". My love pulled me up 4m where I am sitting down as if glued by something 2 d seat watching the master-servant season movie part 8..."Please let us go into d office, because "awọn ọmọ yi ko ni jẹ ka gbadun ọrọ wa nibiyi o"" he said as he helped me 2 my feet with his right hands around my scapular. As I was standing up, someone said, "Please "ọga" on behalf of all", we are both standing now, with his hand yet around me, listening to d staff, "I want u 2 help us thank anti 4 d delicious meal she gave us today o, "mo wi ire tabi ngo wi ire"?" He enthused as he faced his colleagues waiting 4 an answer. They all chorused the answer, "O wi ire". "Ọga", my love said, ""oun na ti ngbọ bayẹn", pls let us go jare"", he added. ""A kì í dupẹ ara ẹni", I said as he allows

As he allows me 2 walk ahead, placing his palms on my shoulders like Island's children while playing games in d moonlight... In his office he told me how pastor phoned him dat he shd prepare 4 message 2moro bc God laid d burden on his heart...He said he has texted me 2 Intimate me dat blessed devpt, but I have not received d text till i got 2 him, all these network problems... Afta he ate his food...He gave me money 2 go n buy oda fudstuffs n prepare soup 4 him...dis also shal afford him d opportunity 2 complete d msg he was preparing... Afta I was tru @ d market, I got 2 his room in a "face me I slap you" house in d Island around 18:45 hours...prepared d foods n soups...He got home around 20:50 hours...2 minutes afta rain began...A heavy rain...it rained 4 an hour...d streets are deserted...I wasnt too sure of how intact d adjoining bridge dat was constructed by communal efforts dat linked my street with d main street shall be, bc well b4 dis heavy rain, erosion has been washing away d edges...so we, my one and only and I, concluded dat I shd sleep in his house dat nyt...

Afta eating, bathing, changing and prayers, I lay on bed...so furtunate 4 us dat d electricity providers of d Island didnt switch off d electricity 2 d island dat day...it was a rare occasion in d island, having electricity during rain...we bless God 4 dat... As I laid on d bed, he returned 2 his writing desk, "wont u rest a while?" I asked. "I shall do but not now", he said. "This man must be a "work-a-holic", what some psychologists called type-A personality", I thousght... As a solemn christian worship song was coming out of his DVD player...I was following d wordings and the rhythm, I did not know when I slept off... @ d midnight, 00:15 hours, I opened my eyes only 2 find him sleeping on a mat on d floor..., "this man "shá", wont he have body ache 2moro? Sleeping on mat? I cannot remember when last I slept on mat...as I think of dis, I fell asleep again...by 04:00 hours, I come out of sleep again...he was awake praying..."Huh, my one and only, broda Samson! Is dis his life-cycle?" I questioned myself. I also attempted praying some silent prayers as he was doing...but I couldnt sustain it bc my eyes were heavy with sleep thus I fell asleep again...around 05:30 hours, I felt his hand gently tapping me..."wake up and let us pray", he said....

WOOOOO OKAY SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON

hmmm okay first week of classes went okay, ended up dropping sociology and switching to dirk’s history/politics class. i don’t think we did anything interesting last week.... but on thursday i did laundry with grant then went home and ate dinner then we pregamed in the apts to go out. somehow got a lot more drunk than anticipated by freaking david’s insanely unachoholic tasting drinks!!! i have no idea what he put in them but somehow they did not taste like alcohol at all lol. so we finally went out at like midnight to this club chalet. i had to direct because everyone else was more drunk lmao. grant got off two stations on the way bc he didnt feel well lol. well we got to the club and it was 10 euros to get in!!!!! but we just paid it since it was a huge trek to get there. the u bahn stopped running so we had to take a bus then walk hella far -_- anyways ya we checked our coats, and in the line this guy hears us speaking english and asks where we’re from and i say california and he says no where are you frommm and i said well my moms from korea and i got hella sassy lmao. anyways we went into the club and it was so sick!!!!! like from what i remember it was like kinda a wooden looking house with a bunch of rooms with chairs then a main dance floor. the music was straight trance and i literally felt like i was in a trance lol but it was sick! cool vibes and everyone was having fun. we ended up taking a taxi back at like 3.

the next morning i woke up SO HUNGOVER. like it was terrible, esp bc they were doing construction and it woke me up -_- went and got brunch with grant and amelia at alberts, it was good to get a nice burger ahaha. afterwards i backed to head to dresden! i put all my shit in my longchamp since i didnt have a backpack lolol. anyways we took the bus to dresden, then took a taxi to our air bnb! it was a sick apartment. we went out to eat at this italian place (was meh) then just went back to the apartments and hung out. the next day we toured around the beautiful city! took a bunch of awesome pics, ate brotwurst, drank lots of gluwein, stared at this cute little boy with his family! hahah yeah it was a good day. then we headed back to our apartment to hang out before we went out to dinner and to the clubs. we got dinner at this burger place, got an IPA! after we found this sick jazz bar that we stayed at for a few hours. was a solid beer drunk which was really fun hehe. the guys wanted to leave so they left while the girls stayed (the bass player was really hot lol). we met them a bit later at another bar, but then left to find another club. stumbled upon this porn club!!! lol it was crazy seeing pics of straight up porn on the walls lol but it was fine we were dancing and having fun bc the DJ was playing a good mix of music with American pop so it was nice to recognize some songs lol. we were having a good time but the guys were being such party poopers and wanted to leave -_- so we left and walked back to our apt, stopped by burger king lol. after me jessy and zach smoked a splif and just hung  out. it’s hilarious bc all the girls have been obviously more annoyed of zach haha. anyways jessy and i then went to bed after eating hella pringles LOL. woke up the next morning, had to get ready really fast. we went and got brunch, it was pretty good! shared this two person meal thing with amelia. after we wanted to check out these little shops amelia had read about but it was sunday so they were all closed :( we saw some cool murals though and took pics. after we decided to just head to the part of town we were at before since it was more touristy and just hang out over there. some of the group had reading they had to do for class so we just hung out at starbucks most of the day. amelia jessy and i explored a bit but not much lol. then we headed to the bus station, but before we got food at this chinese restaurant. that was hilarious, they first gave us menus entirely in chinese and we had to ask them for german menus lol. anyways, we ate, then waited for our bus, then got on the bus to head back to berlin! 

next day was monday. had german class in the morning, then after class me jessy and amelia went to kaufland (its a mini costco) and it was AMAZINGGGG. after shopping at shitty rewe for two weeks it was so nice to got to a proper and better stocked grocery store hehe. plus the groceries were soooo cheap!!1 spent like 20 euros on stuff that wouldve been like $50 in the states. after we just headed back to the apartments. i cooked lunch, then got ready to head to berlinale (berlin international film festival) for my cinema class. got to potsdamer platz, then found the group. went to the japanese film, then went to alexander platz and watched the american film. they were both very interesting lol. after i just came home and cooked some food then went to bed!

today is tuesday, valentines day! we had an excursion this morning with my german class. we met at the zoo stop at bus 100. we took the bus through the middle of the city and saw a bunch of historical sights along the way. we got off by the reichstag then walked to brandenburg gate. we took a pic there, then hung out in the starbucks as our prof grabbed another student running late. after we walked to the foreign office to see this refugee exhibit they had. that was a really really cool thing to see pictures and read about. after we had to talk to a stranger in the building and practice our german lol it was really awkward. then we left and walked to this neighborhood that was known to be a really fashion forward place and had a lot of Jewish people living there. there was a ubahn station where on the steps it had the names and addresses of all the jews who had been taken and put onto the trains and sent away... it was really powerful and interesting to see them commemorated like that. after we just parted ways. i went to go buy a backpack (i finally did! and im stupid and got the exact same color as my backpacking backpack lmao) then i just came home, and started my readings! 

okay that’s all for today :)
