12/12/05-02/10/06: Nagayan's OFF entries
These are just a few of the entries from the diary section of Nagayan's OFF photobook. I'll be doing them all, but these are a tad slower going than online blog entries XDDDD

When you can't bring yourself to laugh, when you've got to laugh, when you can't help but laugh. There are lots of different kinds of laughing. I wonder, can something good come from all of them...? At the Mutter Courage Tokyo performance, even though it was all voluntary, a lot of flowers came congratulating us. I was so happy then, and laughed, "Thank you!" When I met up with a friend for the first time in a while for lunch, as usual--when I said I wanted to eat rice, I got dragged to a curry restaurant with a, "We'll have some nan, please," and without even thinking I blew out a laugh... When a tooth filling I'd just gotten treated at the dentist came out with my gum...it was nothing to laugh at...but I couldn't help it.... Aah, ceramic. You just can't laugh at that though (;_;)

2005's trying to end. But, I wanted to consider a few things before it became 2006... What exactly does it mean to be an "adult"?
This question has been floating around inside my head lately. I, Nagayama Takashi, am now 27 years old. In public this is generally thought of as an "adult" age. But, am I an adult just because I've passed 20? Am I an adult if I'm working? Am I an adult if I'm earning money? Am I an adult if I'm self-reliant? Am I an adult if I have kids? Am I an adult if I'm calm and mature? I mean, they call it 'otonashii' after all. Are big people adults? Does that mean since I'm short, I'm not? Maybe because I think things like that, or want to BE an adult, or think that I am, when I'm able to sense things like that, regardless of my age, maybe that makes me an adult. Thank you, 2005.

I've seen this kind of person before... The ones who'll move their whole body when they're playing video games. I've seen this kind of person before... The ones who'll open their mouths when trying to put medicine drops in their eyes. I've seen this kind of person before... The ones who have to take out a piece of hard candy they've just started eating and put it in their cupholders. I've seen this kind of person before... The ones who, when they blow their noses, will actually check the tissue after they do it. I've seen this kind of person before... The ones who check their messages and see there are 0 new ones, then check again, and again, and still see no new ones. They know there aren't any, and yet they still do it, so I just find it funny.
