There's nothing like abandoning a blog for a year or two and coming back to re-read it!
Damn, I was a crazy little delinquent in those days, wasn't I?
I'm not sure about how much I've matured, and I fell pretty damned sure that I wouldn't make the same choices that I made in those days. It feels good to know that I'm not the same dumb-ass that I was all that time ago...
No, I'm a completely new dumb-ass.
I'm a dumb-ass that's leaving to Tokyo in 10 (well, technically 9) days, and it still doesn't feel real! It didn't feel real when I found out I got the scholarship, or when I got the extra scholarship, or when I bought my plane ticket, or when I went shopping for new clothes. It didn't even feel real today when I had my picture taken for the school newspaper.
The photographer at my college is crazy: he went out and rented a yukata (cotton kimono) for me to wear, and bought a wooden parasol. We met up in a park 40 minutes from my house, and after driving around the wickedness of downtown with all of its one-way streets, I still managed to make it to the shoot on time. Go figure! I wasn't even born on time, yet I'm on time for this...
It was odd, to say the least. This homeless guy on a bench kept staring at us.
Still, I can't wait to see how they came out: I hope that I look pretty! I changed my hair yesterday, too - pictures are imminent. I'm very happy with the way it looks...
Gah, I've got to practice my katakana before I go, but I keep playing World of Warcraft instead. The server with my main character was down today, but I wanted to play so bad that I played on another character. I may be getting addicted to a video game. This is bad, very bad. The one thing that separated me from most nerds was the fact that I'm not obsessed with video games, but WOW just may have been the key to Pandora's Box...
Meh, I'm tired of talking about myself. I'm going to go play WOW. =P
