    When it comes to writing, the gift of being a good writer is about making anything interesting. there doesn’t have to be a great story or plot, or anything interesting you can make things interesting even if they’re not just by being an engaging writer.

    So lets see, I didn’t do much interesting today. Lets see I caught a train, because I was too lazy to cycle from A to B, to be fair A and B were like 50 miles apart, and I haven’t been getting enough sleep, though I have been eating enough chocolate, which may also be why I haven’t been sleeping so much. SUGAR OMMM NOM NOMNOM.

    On the train I saw some guy get on who had got on before, not very interesting, but at the time I had my old bike a beat up mountain bike I had converted to a single speed, he was pretty nice and talked to me, he was all, hey man single speed, rad, I wanna try that and I was, yeah man totally do it, its the only way to cycle. And he was all pumped to go get a single speed bike. Anyway this time he got on and he totally had the same bike, with gears, euughhh, and derailuers and etc. I on the other hand had transcended to full cycling god hood with my new fixie bike. He could not meet my eyes and did as all mortals did and hung his head in shame whilst he prostrated himself on a seat over there.

    I then went to a bicycle shop and ordered an inner tube, or two, an interesting diversion because I had to convince the sales assistant that they did infact sell the type of inner tube I wanted. I knew this because I had bought one the previous weekend, accidently when I asked for an awkward type of inner tube (700 x 35c, with a longer than normal presta valve. Which they didn’t have so I bought normal tubes with valve extenders, didn’t work out so well, cos my rims weren’t as deep as required and the valve extender snapped right off when I tried applying the pump. But it turned out the other tube I bought was infact exactly what I’d asked for, and I had somehow bought it by mistake, sdo I knew that there existed such a tube that they sold, if only by mistake) So back to nthe story, the sales assistant was very doubtful that such a tube existed and was sold, luckily I am slightly deranged and so had kept my recipt so I could prove I had infact bought such a innner tube from this shop. The young bright spark eventually got an idea to search for the item code on the recipt to see if they did infact sell said innner tube, and they did, no surprise there, but they didn’t have any in stock so they ordered them for me…

    After that I saw my aunt standing outside of An Anne Summers shop, I’ll not say much about that I really don’t want to think about the significance.

    I then ate a pasty and drank a red bull in the cornish pasty shop place. The pasty was edible, but not as good as a home made pasty. The Red Bull was Red Bull. I then went to StarBucks and had a Mocha and  Cinnamon Swirl. The Mocha was good, the cinnamon swirl was a little stale. After this I visted my favourite bicycle shop, talked with the rad owner dude, bought some toes clips for my bike, then I cycled home as fast as I could.

    On the way home I cycled behind a lady riding a chopper, bwap bwap bwap.

    When I got home I stuck a bunch of stickers on my bike, they were vintage stickers I’ve had for like 10 years, to protect my bike from getting further scratches. I also attached the toe clips to my pedals, the Red leather straps provide an interesting counter point to the dark blue frame and black hardware.

    All of this is pretty boring stuff, but hey I can write about it, it might even be interesting to read. Maybe I could go into more detail about the cinnamon swirl, like why did it have those funny yellow bits on it, had it come in contact with another cake, had it been Durdened up by disgruntled staff?

    Oh there was a cute girl who was new at the Starbucks on the till, it was so cute to see her trying her best, we’re rooting for you new Starbucks till girl!

    Anyway, the trick to writing is just to write, the more you write the better you get, just write, and worry about the rest later, much later.

    1. Get into AKB

    2. write about AKB

    3. profit

    Ideas:

    JKT

    Maeda “scandal”

    AKB lawsuit(office48) against Shunkan Shincho

    AKB music to be in a disney movie

    The new AKB game

    Janken tournament on the 18th

    etc etc

    Unfortunately I haven’t got time to write much at the moment due to prioritizing school, but if I had I would be writing about all of that. I could just cut down on journal length, but I feel like it isn’t really worth writing anything if it isn’t around 1000 characters…

    I guess my problem is I’m always just too harsh to myself =)
