Oddities in Life

And Sebastian Michaelis stays on the lead with 6 votes, followed along by Minato Arisato with 3 votes, and Ideas with 2 votes (You disappoint me Ideas, I was expecting more from you...). Now, unto more pressing matters... Who the heck is voting?!?!? I want to know.

But because I promised, I am now looking into cosplays of Sebastian if he wins this poll. Might take a couple of months to get pictures and all, but I deliver! XD

Now something occurred to me today... (please don't be so surprised).

A friend of mine wanted to go shopping today, and for some reason I am always the perfect candidate to take with. Something of me must say I love shopping (which I don't), or that I won't complain as much during the trip (which is kind of true). Having nothing better (key word) to do, I went along with it.

Thankfully it started to rain, so I knew this trip was going to be cut short. At the middle of the whole shopping thing, we went to get some hot beverages at Starbucks (it was getting kind of cold due the rain). My friend went inside to buy the coffees, and I stayed outside because the stores are always fricking FREEZING. While waiting outside, I was standing next to this couple that started to take pictures.

They were taking pictures of themselves next to their Starbucks coffees with their names written on them. I wondered who the heck takes pictures of their coffee cups, when suddenly one word went through my mind.

Tourists.

Through the edge of my vision I observed them, and noticed that they were from Asia. Possibly visiting this country as vacation or something. I couldn't tell if they were from Korea or Japan seeing that the sound of their language is pretty similar to me. It is more distinguishable for me the Mandarin. But it was so funny that they were taking pictures of that, with this exciting look in their faces. I started to wonder if this is how people look at us whenever we are visiting their countries. Us taking pictures of the most ridiculous things such as light-posts, or trash-cans, or even the door of a store.

After that I started to realize that the place was full with this kind of tourists. I know people all over the world come here to shop and all, but this time it was PACKED. I enjoyed listening (of course, not understanding one iota) to their conversations, and watching how different they behave from what I am used to.

Made me want to go to some other country as vacation so bad though.

We window shopped some more, and the rain starting coming down harder and harder. Seeing that we wouldn't be able to enjoy much of the place, we decided to go home. My friend, knowing that I hate getting wet because I get sick easily, went to pick up his car (this is so funny, I still laugh thinking about it) to then pick me up next to the stores.

He, like always, ended up doing a big circle around the place, because he forgot where he left his car in the parking lot. When I got on the car, I just keep looking at him with a smirk on my face. He knew what I was laughing about, and his only answer was:

"What? I like walking in the rain."

Smooth.

I still got wet, so I hope I don't get sick. I have been already too sick this year. Not a very good year for me...

I got home, got bored, and decided to do this. Yaaaaay! Darn, I need a new hobby again...

Hope you all have a great day.

Ja ne!
