Ayabean is my roommate. My mom gave Aya that nickname because she loves baked beans so much. When she came to my house for Thanksgiving a couple years ago, my mom made baked beans especially for her, and everyone was so into it that it was declared a new tradition. When I talk to my mom she always asks, "How's Ayabeeeeean?" Is that not the cutest story ever? Aya and I lived together for a year or something in Portland and now we live together in Tokyo.Aya's getting braces and here's what she has to say about it:
I went to a dentist to pull out teeth.
Before that, I stopped by a shrine and prayed so that it doesn't hurt so bad.
Unfortunately it does, but this pain is mystic.
The dentist gave me the teeth, and I observed them for a while.
They are so pretty.
They had been with me for a long time.
and today they became independent from me.
My parents would feel the same way when I left to America.
Tonight, I sleep with the teeth under my pillow.
<3<3<3 Roommate, I fucking love you.
