Farewell, Nathan... you're going to the UK, so we went to Kishu Star and Dragon Ball for you!

Ugh... this thing restarted right when I was going to start this update! What the heck! Jon finally showed up at his place when Christon had finished playing some Grade 9 repertoire on the piano, and we discussed Megan, her parents, the South African hermaphrodite athlete, Harmony and Slavonic dances, exams, a story involving condoms from Dylan's wedding, and more. After leaving for the restaurant, we discussed Jeremy's homemade soup / Christon taking his brother's car / Eric showering at hockey / sharing a closet / Deb and Dylan / being easy on your stomach food-wise.

Met Calla, Stanford, Daniel, Michelle, Jen, Nathan, Danielle, her new boyfriend Brent, Steph, Brian, Isabel, Eric, and Jeremy at Kishu Star after we found parking. Very enjoyable time! Talked about fishing, growing your own food, babies, Harmony's whereabouts, digicam pictures, fires, work, Europe / Asia, Remembrance Day holidays, Dad thinking that Stanford's name was "STANDARD," hockey pools, movies, DUMPLINGS, Dad saying the V-word to me and Jon at lunch (Jen saw my status update), Mom's ideas on "roommates," having lunch at Tsui Woo ("three guesses, and the first two don't count!"), food envy, my birthday thing (not MY fault people decided to have their weddings in September!), sushi, edamame, ramen, interesting work stories, Dylan's wedding, and more. At least I got verbal RSVP from Christon and Dallas, haha. Jeremy, Jen, and Danielle have to double-check their schedules... darned mid-week birthdays!

Steph agreed that Grandma was most generous, oh yes! A little later, the restaurant shushed me and my siblings since we were being typical loud NG people, hahaha. I gave Nathan a farewell card, which he thanked me for. Later, we all decided to go to Dragon Ball, which was kinda crowded. Lots of weird flavors were (not) mixed, such as guilinggao, peppermint, black plum, papaya, starfruit (second only to black plum for its DESTROYING POWER!), peach, blueberry, pudding, Chinese pear, and more. Jon noticed mixed grain on the menu, while Jeremy noted that fresh taro had been taken OFF - guess it wasn't a big seller! Had a good time rehashing grad banquet roasts of years past (Homestar Runner / Teen Girl Squad!), figuring that bubble TEA wouldn't be available in the UK, and wondering when the next EPIC roast would be... maybe in two years? Steph drove me home after we hugged Nathan goodbye - she'd heard that Grandma's sister is coming to visit, which should be okay. We'll see what happens!
