why do ALL Gaijin use backpacks ?????????

[oyajikun]

I keep a change of shorts, and socks in my bag at all times. First aid kit, headband flashlight, PDA w/GPS, and a box of Pokey. You never know when the big one will hit. lol

Personally I don't spend my time worrying about things like that. If it hits I will deal with it then.

I only had to think of it once. Now it just sits in my bag underneath all of the other trappings that I actually use on a daily basis.

You are packing it around all the time, and I would imagine checking the batteries at least once in awhile.

To each their own of course... I would sooner focus on more immediate issues.

I do use my PDA every day.

I do use my PDA every day.

And the other stuff? The flashlight batteries need to be checked out, and the pokey won't be too tasty after a few months in the bag.

Dunno...Guess if I was going to take precautions it would be a bit more concrete.

bah, both the Pokey and the batteries have at lease a 1 year shelf life.

I think more along the lines of preparing ways to get *out* of Osaka if the shit really hits the fan here. Or at least get my family out.

(About shelf life, the Pokey will be a melted gooey mess after one hot summer day.)

While the Aki hoards have certainly their drawbacks, I'm happier being closer to them than the hoards of J men who carry clutch bags.

I don't think the average uber-geek has much going for them. Unless they have capitalized on their geekiness in some way (most have not). Many salarymen also don't have much going for them, but I would say the ratio is a lot better...

[GomiGirl]

how bout all you FG out there ?!?!? are u using one ?

Nope, I use a handbag.. I have many many to choose from. But then I am girly and have 65 pairs of shoes as well.

[ichigo partygirl]

i use a backpack when im going to uni - simply because it is pratical, comfortable, and about the only way i can carry that much crap. But whenever possible i will use a stylish handbag or shoulder bag. You do sorta look dorky shopping in a department store with a backpack on.

[FG Lurker]

You're not serious, are you?? I'd never be able to find the pair I want to wear...

Deadly serious.. I have so many pairs of shoes.. appropriate one for the appropriate occassion. I would never be caught dead wearing high heels at a camp site nor would I wear timberland walking boots at the office.

Skirts need different shoes to jeans etc etc. Plus need evening shoes for glamour events and of course cute sandles for summer dresses....

So with all these shoes one needs to have many handbags as well as you can't use the same one for all occassions.. It is tough and expensive work being a girl but there is nothing more satisfying than wearing a new pair of funky shoes.

Who said I wasn't feminine!!!!

I love women...But fuck am I glad to be a man!

I can barely think straight enough to shave in the morning. If I had to consider all of that every day I wouldn't get to work until lunchtime.

I can confirm the number of shoes GG owns. In fact we call her "Little Imelda" in our circle.

As to the number of lacy T-backs I'm not sure as I haven't rummaged through her underwear drawer yet.

(BTW honey did you book us in at the Beauty Parlour tomorrow?)

[GomiGirl]

(BTW honey did you book us in at the Beauty Parlour tomorrow?)

Nope but they are on speed dial on my keitai so will do it now. Our waxing date awaits.

Oh and I wear t-backs (g-strings, thongs - whatever you call them) everyday. No granny undies for me!! Just in case people were wondering.

You guys (gals!) crack me up!

I know lots of women love a 2-hour beauty salon trip... If it takes more than 20 minutes for me at the barber I'm pissed off! Everyone has different priorities though, and different pleasures.

[gomichild]

I'm a white cotton undie girl myself.

t-backs

Mmmmmmmm, t-backs...

Nah... No pants is far better!

There is nothing better than a cute young boy blowdrying ones hair - I have waist length hair so it is a chore to do it myself. My arms get tired from holding the hair-dryer behind my head for so long.

A cut and colour and blowdry usually takes about three hours but it is well worth it. They are always so clean and shiney with up to date magazines to read. It is relaxing just to be away from the office and be pampered. It is expensive but hey, it is well worth it.

Don't get me started on how great it is to go for a pedicure with the girls on a saturday morning.. it is a great time to chat and be pampered. I love summer as it is the time to break out the cute sandles and show off one's feet.

this could be a good thread...............
There is nothing better than having a once over at the beauty place. You feel so clean and fresh and pretty.

Guys briefs or boxers????????
Boxers are far sexier in my opinion

hmm not sure about that - this appointment is for a bikini wax.

Now should I go brazilian ...or....completely bare?

It entirely depends on what I am doing.

Having everything hanging down can be very uncomfortable at times -- especially if I am biking or doing any sort of quick movements briefs are far more comfortable.

Under my suit I wear boxers though.

It wouldn't matter to me... Taste is far more important than looks.

Brazilian is my opinion - much sexier.

that is quite a good point. I never really thought of the comfort factor.

[ketchupkatsu]

I kinda compromise between boxers and briefs by wearing trunk briefs.

Keeps everything in place, but not too tight.

There is nothing more painful than crushing a ball... Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Most of my exercise these days is from biking. Keeping everything tucked up and out of the way makes that a lot more of a pleasant experience.
