another one goes by

I think I am going to stay here for a while. Things are becoming more 'normal' and it seems that each day brings a new little surprise to say, "hey it's not so bad."

I was just making dinner, nothing fancy, just a warm meal for a cold Monday night. The doorbell rang and as I swung the door open I was face to face with a solicitor. My pulse quickened, my pupils dilated and I got ready for a fight. I was prepared to go toe to toe with this guy and deny every product that he placed before me. He wasn't going to get my hard earned cash, no way.

He took one look at me, his pulse quickened, his pupils dilated and then he started apologizing for disturbing me. He quickly turned and ran away from the gai-jin. Ha. I'm the big scary white guy, watch out for me!
