Title: Fruit, Seduction, and an Impromptu Bar Jacking
Current mood: vexed
Category: Life

My new addiction is fruit. Why haven't I been eating fruit for these years past? Well I mean I did eat fruit like bananas...but I never really relished in the deliciousness of the varieties of fruit. For example, kiwis...mmm I eat them with the skin and they are SO good.

When you don't eat processed food and you severely limit your carbs
fruit becomes this nectar of the gods. I crave pears and green grapes
and green apples and I eat them with cottage cheese.......and sometimes
the pears and apples with gargonzola.....and its so delicious! I eat
nothing but lean proteins and nuts and fruit and cheese and I feel so
wonderful.

Now here's something that will boggle your mind about Tokyo, I have on several occasions paid up to $6 for 1 pear....two days ago I got a bushel of grapes like maybe two cups worth, two large green apples, a thing of goat cheese and a thing of gargonzola, for a total of $30. I do this on a regular basis! It's TOKYO it's fucking the most expensive place on earth. I have also paid $9 for strawberries before. HOw is that for love of fruit??? In comparison, I can also get a delicious meal with some of the best ingredients on the planet in a restaurant with 2 drinks for $20.... and no tip. So it's so expensive in some ways and so amazingly cheap in others.


On a different note, currently, I am reading the book the art of seduction. This is the 2nd time I have read this 400 paged book, and the English in it is so beautiful, I feel like I am having a romance with the words. It's about seducer's through history, Marilyn Monroe, Cleopatra, Casanova, Don Juan.... Then it breaks down the process of seduction and how seducer's pick their victims. It is fascinating... probably the best book I have ever read.

I have been spending a lot of time alone. I went on a couple of dates in the past couple weeks, but my housemate has been gone to Australia. So I have been basically spending every waking second working on my life and improving myself. I am cherishing this time because it's not often I have so much free time free from my crazy social life to just figure out what I want in this life.... I am figuring out so much.

I have gone a couple of fun outings, one with an American and one with a German.....the night with the American was such an adventure. We walked around Harajuku and found these people singing really loudly of what looked like a bar, we went in and it was just a bunch of silly Japanese people getting drunk but their bar wasn't officially open to the public. The fed us, and gave us lots of champagne (which kicked my ass cause I drink maybe once every 2 weeks now) and gave us chocolates....come to find out, one guy was getting married, it was one guy's birthday, and it was the owner's anniversary... So my date snuck out to the convenience store and bought the birthday boy a card...we somehow signed it with his name and gave it to him without anyone seeing us do this. We presented it to him in traditional Japanese style with a bow. He was SO excited...everyone was jumping up and down and dancing all around us. I have videos and videos of this. They are hilarious.
