海の日。。。 浜の日？
Spent the afternoon doing laundry, and then went to Jingu in the evening with Kohei so we could watch the Baystars actually win a freaking game for once! They beat the Yakult Swallows 10-5, Yoshimura hitting 2 home runs and Daisuke Miura getting the start but not the win. (Doesn't matter, I <3 Bancho.) The weather was great, it wasn't too hot for once, and there was a nice breeze. We sat in the Yokohama cheering section but not in the main part.
In the 8th inning I went off to go hunt down this dude who I always see walking around the Baystars cheering section with signs that say various things. Today he had a few, including "this is an away game, please throw away your garbage", but more importantly, "today is Ocean day! so let's have a big Beach victory!" since Yokohama means "by the beach" essentially, we often have "hama" beach puns in the cheers and whatnot. Anyway, I came up to him and asked if I could take some pictures of him, and also asked his name, and told him I love his signs and he's really cool and stuff. He seemed happy but sort of like "WTF" about it all.
As I was walking off from embarrassing myself talking to Sign Guy, another guy comes down from the stands and says, "Are you Deanna?"
"Yeah, I am."
"I thought so! Cool. I post to Westbay's site as No 1. Bay Fan. I recognized you from your photos."
"Oh! I know who you are. Matt?"
"Yeah!"
We talked for a while and did a few cheers. He remembered me from an open-sen Baystars-Marines game in Chiba back in March, since he was apparently like "WTF, there is another gaijin here AND SHE KNOWS ALL THE SONGS??" but I remembered him from that game because he was yelling rude things at Bobby in English. It's funny to say things like "Don't diss my friend Bobby!" and mean it. :) Anyway, Matt is moving to Saitama soon, as part of transferring in the JET program, but we agreed to go to a Baystars game together sometime down the line, probably in September at this rate due to their schedule and our schedules. He's going to the "local" game in Hamamatsu next week. I was like "Oh, against Chunichi? On the 28th? That's Morino's birthday." (YES I AM A DORK. SHUT UP.) He was like "Morino? Oh... the DRAGONS guy." "Yeah, him. I'll be in Fukuoka that day seeing the Fighters anyway."
I come back and Kohei's like "Where were you for all that time? Did you find Sign Guy?"
"Yeah, I found him. And then another guy came up to me who recognized me from my blog."
"Wow, you're famous."
Anyway, the game ended a little after that and we hiked to Sendagaya station. Except we got lost. I'm a dumbass. I hope he didn't get home too late.
I got home around 11pm myself, and then hung out to watch Ainori, where Kuro made the shortest confession ever, and Kosuke turned her down because he's a complete fucktard. I thought I didn't understand his response because of the Japanese but it turns out that in reality, NOBODY has any fucking clue what the hell was going through his head. Apparently next week they will "analyze his response" or something to that effect.
And then I ate some ice cream. Yum.
Whee! What a weekend!
