My grandmother went home today, and I'm happy again. Actually, I'm pretty happy for several reasons.
I feel like I've passed a few tests of character or at least matured a little bit. When I get mad at trivial things I feel like a little kid, so recently when I've felt frustrated by things, I've tried to step back and look at why I'm mad and if it's worth it to make myself look like an ass.
Halo 2 is probably the only game I'll never be at least decent at. Of course every time I play it's with people who will let everyone else get up into the 40s in a game to 50 points before they decide to catch up and win. Guys that will kill you 25 times and you might see them once out of those 25 times. So I always get frustrated about it. But last night and this morning I must have played for a total of 6 hours or more and I got over feeling bad about it. I'm proud of myself for not considering it a big deal anymore.
The other thing was a bit harder. Every time I'm in the worst possible situation for starting a relationship, I meet a nice girl who seems interested in me. Like when I left Hirosaki, and like last night. I bought some drinks at Wal Mart and decided to do self checkout. The girl working there had to see my ID and then punch in a code so I could ring up the rest of my stuff. It wasn't working right so she had to come over a few times. She noticed the Hirodai shirt I was wearing and asked if I was studying Japanese. She's probably one of the few people around here who can recognize that Japanese and Chinese are different. And she asked me a thing or two about it, and when I was done finally, she said sayonara, heh. She has no idea how appropriate that is, since I'll be gone before the end of the week. But man, she seemed nice, and she was really cute. It's always girls working as clerks at Wal Mart or the university bookstore trying to flirt with me, and I'm either in the process of leaving the country, or pursuing a girl who is completely uninterested in me so I don't try to get a phone number, you know, so the girl I like will know that I'm serious about her(or that I'm seriously demented, I don't know which). It's one of those things that makes me think I might be single the rest of my life. I usually feel really bad after stuff like this, but I was alright yesterday, and I'm still alright.
Gonna make the most of my time in Japan. This is gonna be amazing... if my suitcase is big enough. ^^
