It's All Happening...

Now, I'm not saying that I'm the second coming of Jebus... that's for other people to say. In fact I'm not even sure I want to be him; given the choice I'd much rather be conceived of midichlorians and have the chance to root Natalie Portman (by the way, "Are you an angel?" = best chat-up line ever). I was at the petrol station the other week and was able to stop on bang on PoundSign20 with one squeeze. Again. That's twice I've done that. It's not that I can react quickly, it's that I can see things before they happen. That's why I appear to have such quick reflexes; it's a Jedi trait.

And that's where it goes circular; I may not be Jebus, but I
am a prophet. You see, a couple of weeks back when i was reading Tim's blog, I made the bold prediction that the goths and emos of the world will ditch the black hair and self-harm in favour of honour, loyalty to the Emperor and ..er ... self-harm. Yes; they'd switch over to becoming samurais.

Of course, every prophet needs to be put to the test, after all there'd be nothing to separate us holy shamen from the stark raving mentalmen who walk around in circles outside Angel station predicting the end of the world. In order to be proven correct, there'd have to be some sort of a sign. Nothing full blown, just something that gives us all the faintest glimpse of the future. What would be needed is a goth -possibly famous- showing their interest in medieval Japan...

Cue the Metro this morning.



If you join my cult now I'll let you have the top tier positions.

Speaking of Japan, the trip is only one week away. I've been trying to get my stuff organised, and got my brand spankering new camera the other day. It's a Samsung, has a 2gb card and is self aware; it was somehow able to take a picture of
itself:



Spooky.

I've also been practicing useful phrases for when we're out there:

Do you speak English? = Anata wa eigo o hanashimasu ka?
Where's the toilet? = Toire wa doko desu ka?
I'm a vegetarian = Watashi wa vegetarian desu
I am an American sailor = Watashi wa America no Kaigun no suihei desu.
You are very pretty/cute = Anatawa totemo kireidato/kawaii omoimasu.
I won't take care of you if you have a hangover = Futsukayoi ni nattemo shiranai kara.
Who do you think you're talking to, eh?? = Dare-ni mukatte mono itten-dayo??

She has blue hair.

...

Um… So is your camera supposed to curve on the righthand side, or are your midichlorians playing havoc with it? Unexpected curvature aside, it looks awesome. I like Samsung stuff.

The blue haired one is Cyan, but the proper goth is, surprisingly, the pale one with black hair.

The cam was straight, but I might have Uri Gellered it curvy somehow. Damn midichlorians!

AAAAaaaaahhhh! You're going to Japan! Awesome!

I want to see pictures, pictures, pictures! Are you going to the Hello Kitty factory? Are you flying Hello Kitty Airlines? The flight length is a bit of a pain though.

Between midichlorians and references to Terminator, I am awash in a nerdgasm. Someone pass a cigarette, please.

You got the exact same camera I just threw away. Scary. I have just one hint... Don't drop it.

T - yeah, I'm so excited! First on the list of things to do is get drunk on sake with an overweight, balding and slightly sweaty Japanese business man.

Nerdgasm! That reminds me of Drawn Together when Foxy has 'fun' with a lightsaber. Unfortunately the clip isn't on YouTube >:(

jiggles - If I didn't know you better I'd swear you were taking multiple shots with different cameras and chucking them away a la Matrix.
