Surreal things about my life
A conversation yesterday in the outfield stands in Sendai with a friend from Nagoya (in Japanese, so it's the gist):
Me: "Hey, tomorrow is the final Fighters-Eagles game here of the season, right?"
Him: "Yeah, I think so. Why?"
Me: "I was at the game in Chiba on Thursday and we did an AWESOME cheer song exchange! Like we did Benny's song and they did Yukio Tanaka's and so on..."
Him: "Oh! Yeah, we might do that again here... at least some kind of "ganbare Eagles" and they'll reply..."
Me: "Good, I really enjoyed it in Chiba."
Him: "...wait a minute, you were at the game in Chiba on Thursday?"
Me: "...yeah?"
Him: "I didn't see you there."
Me: "WHAT? You were there too?!?! Where?!"
Him: "No, I wasn't there. I was watching on TV."
Me: [stares blankly]
Him: "I saw you on TV at Tuesday and Wednesday's games, but didn't see you on Thursday."
Me: "Whaaaa.... really?"
Him: "Really."
Me: "That's so weird. But anyway, I was in the infield on Thursday. I came out to the outfield during the 8th inning for the purpose of the final game's ouenka exchange."
Him, laughing: "Ha, just as expected from Deanna..."
Me: "You always see me on TV?"
Him: "Always. I watch every weekday game when I get home from work... so I'm always like 'ah! it's Deanna!' You're a very famous Tokyo fan you know..."
Oh yeah, he also told me that the series in Fukuoka, after I'd left and gone to Shikoku, apparently on Sunday the Nippon Ham company gave tickets in the Fighters cheering area to a ton of Kyushu-based Nippon Ham employees. Problem is, these people live in Kyushu, so they were HAWKS fans -- it apparently made things hella weird for the Fighters cheering section. I'm surprised the company didn't get seats somewhere like 3rd base infield... that'd make a lot more sense.
Anyway, this is pretty wacky -- went to Sendai yesterday for the 10-3 Fighters win, came home, went to sleep around 2am, now it's 7am and I'm getting ready to go back. I must be nuts.

no subject
What would be neat is if I actually ever get around to writing a book about all this... THEN I will be fine with signing things ;)
