Somehow I met Alan at Yorkdale yesterday. I went to the pet store. I failed to notice its existence after many many years of going to Yorkdale mall... it’s huge too, and it’s right under the food court. They didn’t have many cats though, and most of their cats were asleep too. But I had fun with this one white/grey one that was really active. I wonder when I’ll be able to rent my own place and afford a cat...

(the sign says do not stick fingers/objects in cage)

 

I also halfassly airbrushed my skateboard, just because the original blue design was too revolting.

Yeah I know, I’ll learn to airbrush things other than flames ><;; That will come after my intensive math catching up. I noticed after getting slaughtered in my math exam that I lacked some serious practice. I’m wearing my new down jacket because it’s freezing here, and I heard it snowed near Spadina downtown. And it’s gonna be -2 degrees tmr. My down jacket makes me miss my parents. It’s a feeling I never had in my entire (short) 18 years of life...

 

Oh yeah I found a really great place to skateboard. It’s this blocked-off road between a condo place and a parking lot. I dunno why it looks so huge in this photo. It’s not.

Its got a rubbery fence for me to cling/fall onto, a tiny slope, no one walking by to laugh at me falling pathetically, and it’s also a really smooth road. And it has a streetlight that works when it got dark like tonight. (note picture, condo on left, parking lot on right) Practicing like this reminds me of wushu practice, repeating same moves over and over again with the resulting skill as sole motivation; Even though I would be by myself like this for hours without end, for some reason I wouldn’t feel lonely at all. More like I’m enjoying this alone-time... It’s as if I’m spending time to get to know myself or something, even though most of what goes in my head during the time is skateboarding. It feels like interacting with myself is talking to myself but not literally. But then maybe I’m just some weird anomaly with introversion extremities.

 

If there’s a girl who always sits in the back of the classroom, is quiet, hangs with her other korean friends like 24/7, is there any un-awkward way to approach her?

 

Recently there’s been many people saying hi to me as I walk across campus, but I don’t remember them (and once during Japanese class today someone waved at me but I had to look behind me to see no one waving back in order to realize she was waving at me). It’s really awkward that many know my name while I have absolute no impression what-so-ever of them... and with my automatic-thoughts/emotion-showing face they know I don’t know them too. I dunno. Maybe it’s because I don’t have contacts lenses yet, maybe it’s because people seem nondescript to me... Maybe I should stop making excuses and realize I’m too insincere with people.

 

Though stereotypes are kinda annoying me. People ‘know’ me by mere impressions of me, and somehow in their minds these impressions define my identity. They then talk to me in a way that they think they are talking to this Danny in their mind, and if I do/say anything that fits this ‘Danny’ impression, they will almost always look no further, and consider their impression of me my identity confirmed. Like this person who sits behind me in Japanese class who knows me as the guy who plays Crisis Core on PSP, and talks to me about games; I so happen recognize the titles he talks about, so he continued talking to me only about games most of the time. Then again I view most other people like this too, so I can’t really blame anyone.

 

Ah~ I have too many hobbies >< they’re eating my money/time without mercy...

 

UTAMA ‘Art meet’ on Saturday @ Yvie’s place. Yay she took my opinion into consideration (now I get to play with her pet hedgehog Nilu ><). I’m gonna bring my tablet though I’m not gonna use it, so others like Shizuka can use. What’s her real name anyway ==” This person tried to convince me into drawing moe art, as she explained it’s the art you find in dialogue games? I’m not too sure as to what exactly it is but maybe I’ll see during the art meet. It’s cool I already know that there will be some pretty amazing amine/manga art people who’s going on Saturday. Time to actually learn~
