Speaking of squant...I wish they had magical squant-colored garbage bags that I could just throw anything in. I mean, my whole kitchen is cluttered with garbage bags because I have to have 5 different bags for different kinds of trash. It's irritating.
Oh yeah, I finally got up the gall to buy some shojo manga yesterday. This has been a problem for me for a while. One of the main reasons I wanted a girlfriend is so she could buy shojo manga for me. I'd stand there while she pretends to look at stuff, and I'd pretend to be bored and restless while I'm actually looking at the titles out of the corner of my eyes. Then when I see what I want I'd nudge her and slip her some cash to buy it with. Then wait until we're at least 300 meters from the store before she hands me the bag. But after a pep-talk from Ken about how I'm just a gaijin and am assumed to be clueless anyways, I just went ahead and bought some yesterday, since I saw they had Hana yori Dango, which I'd been looking for. Still, I did tell the clerk "Kanoji ni katte ageru no" ("I'm buying it for my girlfriend") but he just smiled. I'm not sure if it was an "Aw, that's sweet, thinking of his girl" smile or an "Aw, that's sweet, the gaijin knows how to lie in Japanese" smile. But I farked up. I accidentally somehow managed to buy two copies of volume 1 and no volume 2. So I gotta bring one back and try to explain it...
