Hi all!
I’m alive! Surprisingly. Man do I have stories for you. For example, I was the last to leave school recently. I left at 11:30pm… so I had to lock the gates. It was… an experience for sure. I never thought I would have a 16 hour work day… but that’s Japan for you xD.
As I was locking up, one of the gates started squealing like a pig being murdered.

My school’s in the middle of a residential area, and so the whole time I was dragging the heavy metal gate into place, I was fervently praying, “please hurry and close… and please don’t call the cops on me. I swear I’m not killing anyone…”
As soon as it was shut, I chained it up really quickly and bolted for it xD.
