I'm so dangerous...

So I went on a blind date the other night. Wasn't a blind date in the conventional sense of the term, it was more that when I met her, and teed up the date, it was 3am at a local club on a Saturday night. Suffice to say I was absolutely blind - so the next day had no idea whatsoever of what she looked like. Managed to recall that she was an American, so when we did meet up a couple of days later it wasn't too hard to spot her in the predominantly japanese crowd. Spent a fair bit of time at work before the actual date asking my students to help me come up with plan A (if she's hot, the best places in town to take her to sweep her of feet) and also a plan B (if she's not, the politest way to excuse myself in the shortest amount of time, without seeming rude). By the end of the lesson we had a nice little flow chart covering the various scenarios sketched out on the whiteboard. Luckily enough she was pretty cute, and being incredibly smooth (while also a touch dangerous), there's no need to tell you that I did indeed sweep her off her feet. At least I think so, because during the night she like touched me on the arm at least two times. Money.
Wasn't all Cinderella stories though, she sent me a text message the next day, but I was pretty busy so didn't get back to her, then five hours later she sent through another one saying 'still haven't heard from you yet'. Cue massive WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP 'Danger - High Maintenance Ahead' alarm bells in my head, decided to play it too cool for school for a while, don't want to be having to text someone every ten seconds.

In other news, previous posts' best comment award goes to baby Catherine, for "You should be called Max Dangerous". Got me thinking how absolutely true that statement is, so I thought I'd let you in on just how dangerous I am.

  • I'm so dangerous, one time the cops went past and I went 'oink'
  • I'm so dangerous, when I see a 'Careful - Wet Floor' sign, I walk faster
  • I'm so dangerous, I don't even use coasters
  • I'm so dangerous, I take my peppermint tea with honey AND milk
  • I'm so dangerous, I can ride my bike no hands for like, three seconds
  • I'm so dangerous, before I came to Japan, mum told me to pack four jumpers, or else I'll catch cold - I only bought three
As hinted at in the comments, there has also been some Ricki Lake/Jerry Springer material going down lately, although a) I'm outta time cos I gotta go to work soon and b) not sure it's fit for publishing, but I'll do my best to fill you in later. Next post will also contain a few pics, predominantly of me being extraordinarily good looking. Ok peeps take care and talk to you soon,
Love and kisses,
Max Danger.
