Random Conversation


(While waiting in Kazama Auto to find out how miserable shaken is going to make my life, measured in 10,000 yen bills)

Kazama: "Hey Bryan, how do you spell your name?"
Me: *Huh?? Kazama knows my name???* "Uh, B-R-Y-A-N."
K: "What's that? B? V? Like Tourer-V?"
M: "No no, B." (Pushes the shop cat away and demonstrates writing a capital B in the air)
K: "Ah, gotcha." (Fools around with some machine for a bit) "Here you go, a cell phone charm."
M: "Hey, thanks"

Yeah, uh so now I have a piece of wood with "BRYAN" etched into it hanging off my phone. After an entire life of having to explain my name is spelled with a Y not an I, it was nice to have confusion arise from a different letter. It's also funny that the confusion was resolved by my car's grade. Which gives me an idea. Maybe I should get a replacement badge made up for the back that says "TOURER-B."
