The Curse

So, many of you have probably noticed that we seem to encounter a lot of ... bad luck. Well, I do. Aaron seems to survive easily in the big towns. But add me, and suddenly keitais get lost, bikes get stolen, visas aren't obtained.

So the whole Kobe thing was kinda a relief for us, as absolutely NONE of it was my fault! I had nothing to do with any of the mistakes! Now, the pessimistic way to view this is that my curse now effects any interactions I participate in. I, however, prefer to see it as my curse is lessening. This is important, as Aaron and I are heading to Tokyo with Nick and Jenny for New Year's, and I'm really hoping to avoid anything that inspires people to say, "Well, at least it makes a good story."

Ironically, if I could channel this bad luck, I could be like Domino or Black Cat, finally fulfilling my desire to be a superhero. Geek points awarded to those of you who know both of those characters.
