Reading earlier today I came across the word hedonist, i`ve heard it before but I couldn`t exactly figure out what it meant. I was sure though that it has some kind of negative connotation just because of the ways I had heard it used but when i looked it up i found that its someone who believes that pleasure is the most important thing in life. and really i dont see whats wrong with that. I believe that enjoying ur self is the most important thing but not enjoyable memories of the past nor planing for ones in the future but right NOW....NOW is ALL that matters. I say this obdurately despite what anyone else thinks. Im the same way with money-money is to spend ok, it`s good for nothing else so what r u saving it for? Basically everyone should just do what pleases them regardless of criticism coming from ANYONE else; of course in respect and love of others. BUT ill stop philosophizing now cuz thats not what this blog is about.

Yesterday I went to the Opera, Yeah no joke, the Opera in Japan. The opulent concert hall was really something. It made me think about all the books ive read where people go to the opera up high in the boxes in corsets or those lil old fashioned glasses and even though I was in Tokyo and not London it still felt like that. unfortunately thats pretty much all I can say about it because I fell asleep. What a typically lame teenager I know blah blah but with the dimmed lights and the comfy vip seats the methodical piano melodies lulled me to sleep before the opera even started. The applause woke me and i was like what its over? the girl next told me that it was just intermission. After checking my face for drool I joined the students seated around me in conversation.
Because the school year only started April 4th im still getting to know my classmates. The girls are really chatty but besides quietly explaining to the dim-witted jock that sits next to me where Europe was during a test I hadnt spoken to the boys much more than good moring and what not. but i was still kinda sleepy so i turned back around in my seat and my eyelids were fluttering in between consciousness when the girl next to me keept looking at me and say beautiful hair yeah? beautiful hair... i was like what?...yeah assuming they were talking about the main character in the show we were just talking about but not really listening. Then I started to think and i was like WTF she has ugly hair and turned around to be like why do u like her hair like actually shes just ugly all around what r u talking about. Then all the boys looked at me and started saying stuff like yeah kelsey`s hair this and that. They were talking about me! of course I started blushing and that really got em going which made me blush more. Then the boy behind me asked if i Knew what karaoke was and if i liked it, only karaoke in Japanese happens to sound almost exactly like my favorite Japanese food so of course like an idiot i was all O yeah its my favorite thing to eat. Shaking their heads like what a shame they concluded I didnt know karaoke so then i told them my mistake and that actually I love going to the karaoke room/bar/club/party things which lead to what kind of music I like and ultimately asking me to go with them.
My new classmates are alot friendlier than last years and although it was a lil embarrassing Im glad yesterday happened Just because for the first time I really felt included
Today I went to Ikebukuro prolly the biggest coolest place for teens to hang out in Tokyo. Yeah guess who we ran in to... It was wierd lol
