Setting up events/gatherings
Quite recently I have been making events for people to gather, spend time and have fun together. It was not something I ever did before, and it has been quite surprising that I have had people actually get together now. I have never considered myself "popular", but apparently I know and have become friends with many people throughout Japan (mainly Kagawa and Ehime). And though I know that the people who come to the events don't come just to see me, it feels nice to know that they accepted my invitations and choose to come out.
I tended to be the one who is invited to things, and I usually go (it is much easier for me to go out to somewhere, as I am usually by myself and decide how long I want to stay, how I will get back, and so on). But organizing an event means I have to choose the location, and then hope that people can make it, as there are many reasons why one couldn't. Such reasons include being busy, either with work or having previously made plans; unable to get a ride, or take the train, due to lack of access to a vehicle/little money to ride; or maybe just too far away (I have made trips out to Matsuyama from Kanonji, taking the express (kinda pricey) and the one-man (too freaking long). Neither is really enjoyable). I guess the reason I am more willing to set up the event is because I now have people nearby who can usually make it, so even if the majority of people can't come, I have at least a select few I know I can have fun with. And in the end, that's all I really want.
