Oh, why bother?
I woke up at the ass-crack of dawn today and drove a friend to work. His motorbike is broken, thus he has no transportation and he'd have gladly done the same for me. This gave me quite an opportunity as since I've been without a reason to wake up early, I've been staggering out of bed around 10ish. Japan Fest is today and for weeks I've been talking myself into going.
Yet when I got back home I played some video games, showered, and pretty much did nothing. Here I sit at my desk while listening to dubstep and typing out this entry when I could be sampling yummy Japanese food and culture. Bah. I've never minded going anywhere by myself but with events like that... it just doesn't seem right somehow. Going by myself would make me the creepy guy wandering around semi-aimlessly through gaggles of Sailor-Moon cosplay girls and wanna-be samurais. And nobody wants to be that creepy guy.
I really need to get out more. And by getting out, I don't mean going to a bar and having a couple of drinks. I used to go clubbing. I used to go to raves. I used to go to all sorts of other stuff. Now, Friday night comes around and I feel old. What do you feel like doing? Not a damned thing. But that's just the fail-safe answer. It's code for something, anything, but I just can't think of what!
Are there even any decent clubs still around that aren't filled with a bunch of drunks gyrating to what they perceive as decent music? There's a place called the Eiffel Society that has an event called "Play" every now and then... electronic music, DJs, and stuff. Their calendar says "WEAR YOUR SEXIEST WHITE OUTFITS!" - OMG. It's that kind of crap that makes me want to wear black. I don't want to star in some pretend music video. Lame. I just wanna show up and ride high on the music. Glowsticks, please. *grumble grumble*
