this is it
grrrr. Just switched my mobile on and got a text from my sister saying that her computer, which I used last night, is no longer working. The problem? I absent-mindedly agreed to the installation of Microsoft Windows Genuine Disadvantage Tool, forgetting that the PC was an HP. Idiot me; I can now look forward to wasting time trying to get that sorted from a distance tomorrow.
Not really sleeping much now, the adrenaline just won't stop flowing. Feeling very odd. I'm meeting up with a few classmates in Shinjuku on Thursday night (feel free to join us, 6.30pm @ Studio Alta)... that feels very strange. Never really had the crossover effect before. It's always been two distinct, seperate worlds. I have my UK world with my UK friends, and my Japan world with my Japan friends. The overlap of the two, or at least the idea of the overlap of the two, is very disconcerting. I know this is quite daft, especially considering the fact that there's so many millions of people in Tokyo, but nonetheless, it's had quite an impact upon me, resulting in quite a sense of unease. The reality of course will be very different, and all this thinking is just bollox, but there you go.
I walked into what I thought was a health clinic today. Approached the receptionist and said, "Would it be possible to have some condoms please?"
The smile that she'd greeted me with dissapeared, and was replaced by a half-confused half-frightened face.
"Err, I'm sorry, but this is a dentist."
It was then that I noticed the big sign on the wall behind her,
I was a tadge embarrassed.
We have managed to amass 108 condoms courtesy of the NHS, so that should last us about 10 days. After that it's bloomin expensive Bennettons, the only company to relieve foreign men of the same problem that they suffer from when trying to buy shoes in Japan. :-p
Tell you what, I'll be gald to be over there. I'm tired of the wait now, and I really do miss *Twinkle* badly; I need her support, and she needs mine.
I must remember, at times like this when I feel a bit down, and depressed, and stresed (more over having caused my sister grief than anything else), that I have to remind myself how lucky I am. Life really is very good to me, and all that's really 'wrong' at the moment is that I'm in a state of flux. There are so many positive things in my life, that I really shouldn't let little problems like Microsoft upset me.
Well then, I suppose this is it from the UK for this year. I'll see you in Japan!
