I am now a reformed citizen of Earth
AM is now reformed. Or soon to be, anyway.
These past weeks I have been too busy staring into space but this time breathing japanese air. So I have not been able to bloghop much because I am doing something! (Which is breathing foreign air. How... dumb.) And it just dawned on me that I will be bloghopping less (but will still be bloggin ever so regularly) because I`m onto something now. (Bloghopping here is equal to hopping from one stranger`s site to another.) I don`t know what yet exactly but I have a beautifully confusing image of the things I will be busy with from now on in life, thus I have something to preoccupy myself with aside from hopping and hopping virtually.
There are certain qualities blog hopping has brought me though. I have further exercised my lessening of acid-spitting when it comes to reading things or stuff about strangers that I get annoyed at. I just try to understand. This way, I get to develop my reading-people skills and develop my patience and understanding. Whatever, you don`t want to hear about it anyway. hehe
So instead, here is a guide on how not to make temple and shrine hopping boring:
1. Try to find the differences between each temple or shrine, no matter how similar they all may seem. Look into the detail.
2. If looking into the details fail, try imagining how life is probably like there when the temple/shrine was at it`s prime (ie when live, breathing, weird clothes-wearing people still lived there.)
3. If that starts to get boring too you should probably try to imagine different scenarios in each place. A few scenarios I did were: it just happened to be afternoon tea at that temple; there is a seige in the middle of the night in this temple; the soldiers from 348.0000004 miles away have just arrived after a trip on foot; there is a wedding ceremony; the master of the house lost his sock (replace with some other foot item in case socks didn`t exist at that time); the youngest son just OD`d on opium.
See, it`s fun.
