Cursory update: I am going to Japan next week and I probably won't make another entry for a bit, unless I get bored and hyper the night before...ah, well, I usually do, huh.


Money
I feel like a whale
My legs are itchy
Money spent
Money I will spend
I am so fat
My boobs! My upper arms! My waist!
Bodily hair
Money
The air will be dry on the plane
Money
I don't want to have a period over there
Women have had them there for generations, it's cool!
I am worrying too much
What if I break out
STOP WORRYING RIGHT NOW STRESS GIVES YOU ZITS
Fat fat
Plane is boring
I'm going to die of exhaustion in transit
Money! Yes, money!
Will I buy everything I want
I won't get to do everything
I will look like a fool everywhere
Anime fans are freaks
Hairy chesty American
Ugh, bodily hair, baw
I don't have a boyfriend
fat
This skirt is too ____ (thin, long, fluffy, tight)
I'm going to forget my meds and want to die
I'm going to lose my meds
Someone will steal my meds
Something will go wrong with a hotel
I'm going to be so tired
HOW CAN I SPEND THIS MUCH? PEOPLE ARE STARVING
People will think dad is my husband
Oh jesus no
I worry too much

I wish I could say this is cathartic but it's not. Right now I'm worried about being fat---with everything else I can just say, oh well, this is fun not work so chill out/dad'll fix it.

Does anybody else worry about traveling as much as I do? I'm sure lots of people do.

People will think dad is my husband
Would you believe, this actually happened to me once? Incidentally, my dad is over 60 years old and has a white beard. I DON'T KNOW OKAY.

But anyway! You're going to Japan! Rejoice and go to Super Potato and Book-Off!!

Also, bring a few packs of pads in your suitcase, problem solved.

PS: OH man Robin did you see this?!! Game Center CX covers Angelique Trois XDDDD There are some things just not meant for a man to try...

『がんばるしかないわ』って…なんなのこれもう!!! (>∇<) アディが見せる映像とかは楽しい!　いつもありがとう!　But I, um, actually felt kind of bad for him at the end, though. That's not the kind of ending one wants to get without being prepared D: (didn't he reset and do it over? That's basically what happens in Haruka 3 :^D)

I mostly worry that people think it's weird if I don't travel with my mom...I should stop thinking about thinking about what people think amirite :(

By the way, about Book Off, I just went to look up the Harajuku store that I went to last time and IT'S FRICKIN' CLOSED DOWN! (http://www.bookoff.co.jp/shop/shop2199.html) やー ショックぅ!　:( Now I don't know which one to go to. I guess I could use the one in Akihabara but I'm concerned about sensory overload D:

Er, crap, wrong link. :/ Here (http://www.omote-sando.info/2007/11/20071112.php) :D

To give credit where it's due, I saw it linked on the angemedia community. ^^ Anyway, the point of the show seems to be Arino making faces while playing impossible games, so, he's probably used to it? I dunno :/ I'm a bad person, I laughed

Try to relax. I can't help thinking you'll be having too much fun to worry about the people around you while you're there. ^^

Really, it closed? That sucks.. Is there one in the area you'll be staying? (Are you staying in Tokyo?)

「おんなのこのきもちになってがんばるのじゃ、ありの」 Now that I'm thinking about it again it's ridiculous. He got dumped by a man in a video game! Yeah, that makes me laugh. I guess I took it so seriously because...if you get dumped, do you they really send you right to the credits with SAD MUSIC? That's awful. D:

Often my parents are my social tank (har har RPG words), but when I come to Japan I have a certain dynamic where I have to be the tour guide and talk to people. But the fact of the matter is that I'm not getting paid, and sometimes I am fucking exhausted or frantic, and I'm their daughter so they want to make my life easier by asking directions or walking around in the neighborhood on their own. So yeah. I think when I get there I will have to relax anyway. And it'll be okay!

I'm staying in Shinjuku, and there's one that's fairly close, actually, but I sort of look at the location and doubt they're going to have the volumes of RO anthologies I hope to dig up. I guess it's Akiba for me. :/

[narugami.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be pretty awful if it happened when you were playing it OTL But also the, er, sparkly character designs in Angelique kind of make it harder to take seriously. (Never mind that I like Kurou and that ridiculous hair and the flowers on his sleeves and uh. I should shut up)

That's true, about not being able to rely on your parents as much... And it's hard sometimes to come up with words on the spot. But you can think of it as practice, maybe? D:

And you've been there before, right? I'm sure your parents know their way around by now XD; And is Akiba that bad? I know they have maid cafes and stuff...

Travelling's always stressful. I personally blame customs. ..then again, you're a cute little harmless girl, so they'll let you slide. That's how profiling works, I've gathered.

Other than that, there's the flight.. which I'll give you.. is very very very long. But, you've got your psp! ..not to mention you've got someone to talk to on the flight.. after that, there's always the option of sedation. They still serve liquor on int'l flights, right? ..although, you may be forced to pay for those inky dinky bottles on flight now.

Money.. well, it's just money. You don't have billions of dollars like everyone else out there *pokes Bill Gates*, use the little you have to make your life a little more comfortable and happy.

Another thing to point out is that most people are *very* self-concerned. They're more worried about the image they're presenting to the world than some tourist. Hell, there were so many tourists in Paris, I just learned to block them out after a while. Especially if you hit spots that are heavily touristed, you'll just blend in to the background as part of the ambiance.

*pat pat* have fun! :)

[jenanoelle.livejournal.com]

oh, and don't forget to buy every cute toy you can get your hands on! ..and eat a mangosteen, and live on sushi!

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, customs is nasty, too, but I guess they won't be mean to me...I worry that they think I'm a cute harmless girl and thus can be EASILY TORMENTED. And I will have to be fingerprinted when I enter Japan. (Still mad about that...)

I don't worry too much about getting bored on the flight. Uncomfortable, tired, and dehydrated are the things I worry about. Going to the bathroom is such a chore when you have to climb over a stranger! And yet I find it's hard to stay hydrated on a plane without drinking gallons of water :( I'll probably have a hard time sleeping, too.

In Japan they don't really expect white people to behave according to Mystical Japan Rules, and I'll have bigger boobs than 90% of the people I meet, so actually I can get away with a lot, but I still don't like to horrify the natives.

[jenanoelle.livejournal.com]

perhaps you should take advantage of the situation! You could use your big boobs in order to find a Japanese boyfriend! ..and you wouldn't even need to know the mystical rules, 'cause of your foreign-ness!

About the fingerprints, do you think it's because the Japanese are trying to fight back because of the American policies? (We now require biometric passports just for entry..) "Let's match their stupid, with some stupid of our own!"

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

It's complicated. I think it happened as a result of slavish mimicry of the US after 9/11, given force by conservatives who want to make life harder for entering foreigners. Certainly it can't stop native citizens from going into Akihabara on a busy day and killing people. :|

Dude, just sit back, relax and buy yourself some nice doujinshi pron. And hey, at least it won't be 95 degrees every day like it was when we went last year! Or...at least I think it won't?

If it helps, I get kind of neurotic about traveling too. My main problem is the constant, nagging feeling that I've forgotten something terribly important even though I've checked everything obsessively.
