Doing the unthinkable

No, don't panic. I haven't gone off the deep end, at least, not yet anyway. In my earlier post, I reasoned ways of finding a girlfriend. To this end I reasoned that anyone I might meet in a pub or club is likely to be drunk at best, drugged at worse. Thus, it comes to this: I have joined an online dating site. Before anyone asks, no I won't tell you which one.

It probably won't lead to anything, given my luck these days, although of course there is always hope. Though it might be called an act of desperation, I see it as an exercise in bettering myself. If nothing else, it might extend the number of people I can call a friend.

On a different note, I'm currently waiting to hear from the Japanese Consulate about the details of a working-holiday visa. If I'm refused for whatever reason, I will be taking a holiday there for a couple of weeks. Should I be successful, I will be staying in Japan for anything from a few weeks to nearly a year.

till next time,

Alex.
