Hello, this is Jared. It's Wednesday, October 29th, 2008.
I spent the day in Roppongi today, which is very odd because I loathe and detest Roppongi. I hate it with a passion.
There are too many gaijin there, there's too many *hiccup* tall buildings, there's too much going on and it just doesn't make me feel comfortable. Also, it has, it's the home of Gaspanic, which is the DEVIL!! It's basically a fire hazard, you know, like a million and one people cramped up into a building. And they kick you out if you don't have a drink in your hand.
And it's like, "Dude, I just ordered a shot...you know, five minutes ago. I just took it. What? Do you want me to order another shot and just walk around with it in my hand?!" Anyway, they're pretty..pretty racist over there--I don't recommend it. Anyway, we had coffee in Roppongi and enjoyed the weather. It was pretty cool. I would do it again. Actually, no, I wouldn't do it again. Not any time soon, that is. I'd maybe go back if I were pressured by three or four people who I loved...a great deal....and they asked me to go in a year's time. Then I might go.
*giggle*
