Missed Opportunity

I failed epically at meeting Utada Hikaru. I didn't even get to *SEE* her today, far too many people around.

It's ok...one day Utada Hikaru will wait in line to meet *me*

Here's the profile...

Loves being in long relationships.

Yes.

Likes to give a good fight. Fight for what they want.

Not really, I'm a peacemaker by nature.

Can be annoying at times, but for the love of attention.

Extremely outgoing.

Not at all.

Loves to help people in times of need

Sometimes?

Good kisser.

I hope so!

Good personality.

This one is way too vague/context subjective and shouldn't be here.

Stubborn

As I said I'm a peacemaker by nature so no.

A caring person

I care about some things I guess.

They can be self centered and if they want something they will do anything to get it.

I can be self centered sometimes but definitely not stop at something self centered.

They love to sleep and can be lazy.

YES.

One of a kind.

Yup! There's only one KUMICHOU.

Not one to mess with.

Ask Jeff Borncamp.

Are the most attractive people on earth!

Hikaru was born in January, not April, so no :-).

Adam = Badass

I got two promotional passes to see WATCHMEN that expired today

I went to the theatre for a late showing and handed the cashier my two passes

"Sorry, we can't accept these" she said, despite the fact that when I got them I was specifically told to redeem them at that theatre

I looked at her and smiled, ready for a fight ahead. "I'd like to speak to the manager"

She pointed me to the escalator to go to the second floor

Now, here's where I was super-cool and where they made a fatal error: They put the manager's kiosk in the "you need a ticket" part of the theatre.

I walked to the person checking tickets and said I had an appointment to see the manager. He let me through without question.

Once inside the theatre area, I saw the manager, who was sweating profusely and unsure of who among all the people entering the area was the one to see him.

I smiled, walked right past him without a word, and walked into the theatre showing the movie.

You don't mess with the kumichou.

Happy Persian New Years!

(That's today)
