My social calendar...or lack thereof

It's minus-352 degrees celcius tonight. Actually it's 10 but it feels a lot colder. It's ok during the day but on the bike ride home I freeze my BUTT off! Which officially makes me the world's biggest jackass for buying a $400 leather jacket one year and then leaving at home in Canada when I left for Japan the next

One person commented to me the other day how much they enjoyed my blog, to which I flabbergastedly (is that a word?) replied, "Really!!??" Apparently I have good writing skills or something. I admit that this blog has potential but it's severely handicapped by the fact that, to be perfectly honest, I am quite a boring person. My idea of a good time is staying home. If videogames were interesting then I would be on the front pages of all the tabloids. Actually that's not quite true-I don't even play games that much anymore which is really sad because I've lost my only passion-such as it was.

As a result of this social inactivity, I've found it really hard to keep a schedule book. They always told us to do this in school and I would faithfully fill it out for the first couple of days of school and then never look at it again. The fact of the matter is, I just don't need one. There's so much empty space in my social calender that you could park a big Mack truck in there. Despite my flaws, I recently bought a new scheduler and I am determined to be one of those people who carry it around everywhere and always need to consult it. The reason why I bought one was because the kids in the tv drama "Nobuta o Producer" all had one and I was inspired to get one myself. Anyways I went to this amazing store called Tokyu Hands (it's got EVERYTHING!) to look at schedulers and this is what I came out with:


Isn't it kawaii???? It's Tintin! Can you believe it, it's my childhood comic hero! In Japan of all places. Anyways I'm gonna make a go of this scheduler thing so we'll see how it works out. It would probably help more if I did more stuff. I have dates this Saturday and Wednesday so we'll see if that helps fill up the space (how was the bolding on that Andrew? Now you can just skim through and look for the interesting words.)
