So I finally got time to go back and try to say hi to everyone who has posted a comment and started reading Last Words, and I realized something: To try and find every single one of you out there and say hi is now officially beyond my ability. I think there's just a few too many people for me to do it properly. ( And I haven't a clue where half of you are hiding anyhow. ) So I'm just going to say it here. HI PEOPLE! I really do know you're there.

So anyhow, about this one. I was daydreaming in sculpture class about heading back to Japan at some point to see my host family and I started thinking about all the weird things I'd heard of or seen while over there, ( Arguably, there's enough weird about Japan that I might never run out of ideas to use for inspiration. ) and I began thinking about some of the unusual things they have, like the super toilets, ( They completely wipe our asses when it comes to bathroom business. ) bullet trains and my favorite: special rooms that you can go into and vent your stress. I really don't know how widespread the idea is, or if they even really have them ( I would assume so since I was told by a Japanese citizen that they existed, but she could have been messing with me. ) but I like the idea of a padded room with a soft dummy to go into and beat the crap out of. I think we could solve so many of America's issues if we just stole this idea and used it ourselves.

At the best we'd never have any more stress problems again, at the worst we'd never get anything done from spending too much time in the stress room. Doesn't sound like too bad a deal to me.
