(no subject)
It's a tuesday night and i am in my room. outside there is rain and some mild wind. singing, of all things, from some goddamned pop group or another, can be heard from the unit outside my window - the first floor of the west building. hearing this, at this time of times, makes me happy, it shows a lot of things that are uncommon in japan, and generally uncommon within the japanese people themselves. having fun, as a group, likely without alcohol and definately not on a night when there is no school the next day. nice.
my arm itches from staples in my elbow. the staples are from the, hopefully last, surgery i will need while in japan to remove wires that were holding the broken bit of my elbow in place. my roomate is doing something in the bathroom, im not sure what. it looks like some sort of towel holder, but he was speaking way to fast and i might of stopped listening.
ive got something like 3.5 months left in japan, and it scares me, in a good way, to provide motivation to stop watching so much shit on my computer and ride my bike more despite the rain, despite the elbow. i'm still ditching class all week because of my wonderful excuse. not that i need it, golden week is days away, and that is basically another week off. amazing.
im smoking nearly every day now, not an addiction, i dont think. i just like smoking, and i think it brings me down to the level of all those poor bastards living in developing countries that have to breath coal dust or some such shit.
having a girlfriend is nice, thinking about the future is not. temptations are also nice, because japan is full of them. lots of women dressing way too sexy for their every day life. stockings, skirts that are too short by american standards unless at a club or on halloween - the day when any girl can look like a slut and not be judged, you know what i mean - and many of them are very very sexy. but i know what ive got is much better than 95% of the japanese female population, a girl with a real personality, and some substance besides rediculous fashion.
i really miss traveling. i want to come back to japan sometime and bicycle this whole goddamn country.
there are a lot of things that need doing. i should study japanese more, no matter how futile it may be.
as always, a photo will substitute for meaningful words.
