Just to clear this up. I've mentioned this cultural club I've been part of for almost a year now, and I think I should specify that the CPJ has nothing to do with the 'Citizens for Public Justice', the 'Communist Party of Jersey', or the 'Committee to Protect Journalists' (why would I associate with anything like that anyway; I hate journalists).

Now on to the point.

Another meeting with the CPJ. This time it's the Start-Season meeting. The foreman couldn't make it (that happens a lot), so Mino (she's the secretary) had to hold the line again. The subject of the meeting was basically a summary of the club's activities so far, and a presentation of the events they used to organize. And suddenly I realized something. It's been almost two years since I first met these guys (I first wrote about them in this [link] entry), and now I'm a regular member. I officially joined last year, in December, and have been to most of their meetings since then. Back in those days, we still held our meetings in Yume tea-house (that's the Seireitei manga club's territory), but by now, the group has it's own place to stay, complete with a meeting room, kitchen, two restrooms an office and a reading corner (that's my regular spot).
Interesting changes took place while I was away. The first thing I noticed when I entered was a large bookshelf filled with manga. I immediately recognized it as the Seireitei's collection (and bookshelf), and guess what? Yume tea-house is dismissed, and the foreman decided to invite Seireitei to join us. I have reasons to feel prejudiced against these guys, reasons I won't start getting into, but if you've seen the ad for Sakuracon 2009, you'll pretty much understand these reasons. And I'm not gonna link that horrible thing to MY journal. Look it up yourselves, and watch it at your own risk. Or better yet, take my word for it and DON'T watch it.
Anyway, we also looked through a lot of pictures that were taken at the previous meetings. My great suikawari achievement chronicled in this [link] entry, was once again brought up. Some older pictures still taken in Yume tea-house (more specifically from this [link] meeting) were also there, including one that featured a large hulking thug with a thick beard and long hair - took me awhile till I recognized myself.
Good memories overall.
Now the way home wasn't as eventful as it usually is, mainly because I was simply too tired to go on foot, especially with the large bag I brought to the big city with me. So instead, I walked with the others to the bus. I generally enjoy talking, but I don't like to go though the trouble to actually start conversations, so I was very thankful when one of the girls (her name is Ayako by the way), left a little out of the loop when the others were discussing something, asked me why I'm carrying that thing on my back. We had a nice chat on the way to the station. I rarely get to talk to people, so I really enjoyed it.

Now I know I should've reviewed Kamichama Karin a long time ago. But that topic has grown too old, and reviewing it now would be too forced. Suffice to say, it's a magical girl anime, and the first of that genre I ever watched. It was, how should I say, girly. Cute, funny, sometimes tear-jerking, but very, very girly. However it did have a funny character I almost fell in love with at first sight - and I would if he was an actual person (yes it's a guy, and no, I'm not gay but you should already know that). I faved this [link] stamp for a reason, you know.

Anyway, that's it for today. Writing this journal took me a whole hour, and I feel like playing something before going to bed.
