called home today

talked to mom today.. she seems to be in good spirits. The family is doing fine and i'm glad to hear it. She misses me very much and i miss her as well. Funny, she asked about Angel and if i had met a girl out here. I told her that i hadn't and the girls i wanted were back in the states.

She was telling me about a conversation she had with one of the aunties. Turns out that that she was sad because her son, a now distant acquaintance, is having all these problems. Specifically girl problems. How when he got back from boot camp his GF at the time left him, how he got with another girl who also left him but also put him in all kinds of financial trouble, to the point where his car was re-possessed.

I get the feeling that my mom is beginning to worry about my single status. I remember a conversation i had with Angie before i left.. she said something along the lines of bringing a girl home to show to mom. A girl worthy enough to bring home to mom. In other words a girl to present to the parents.

i think my mom is afraid of me falling for some japanese national and bringing her home for the first time after i leave japan.

not gonna happen..

i told her that the girls that i want were back in the states. then she asks about Angel and weather or not i was still in contact with her. We've just recently reconnected with each other via email but only time will tell.

while i am on the topic there aren't very many girls to choose from here in Sasebo. the navy chicks out here aren't the type to trust and the only way i'll get with a japanese girl is if she was from Tokyo and knew nothing about or anyone the navy.
