People have been asking about my cellmates. I'll start with my favorite, Anri.

Anri is a proud junkie. She's got heroin scars all over her arms and is probably only sober when she's inside. This isn't her first time in jail.

She's been to the Philippines before and her dream is to run away there someday. Although something tells me it's not the white sand beaches she's after.

When I told her that the reason my hair was full of dried seawater was because I was frolicking in the waves in full clothing the day before, she asked if I was doing it because I was high. And I was like, "No, I was having fun!" And her eyes grew big and she said out loud, "NATURAL HIGH???" as if just laughing and having fun by yourself without any substance was the weirdest thing in the universe.

So you can probably guess that she's in here for drug charges.

Say what you will about her, though. I think she's a very sweet person.

Before bedtime (and before breakfast), everyone is given a turn to have access to their regimen products, like lotion, lip balm, face cream, etc. Remember when I said I didn't buy any? It was a mistake because the air in there was so dry and my lips were in such bad shape. My skin could use some moisturizing, too. But the next buying opportunity wasn't until Tuesday (and it was Saturday).

There was also a strict no-sharing rule.

So what Anri would do, is she would go out of the cell and slather as much lotion, cream, and lip balm on herself as she can without it showing that she had a floating layer of the stuff on her. Then she'd come back to the cell and transfer everything to me while Okaasan kept watch so we wouldn't get in trouble.
