I tried spending a portion of the morning practicing English, and found this in one of the supplementary texts Anderson-sensei recommended.

The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end
And the end of every place
It is simple, but I think translating it was good practice

Ah, I remember that riddle. The answer is painfully obvious and ridiculously simple when you realize what it's referring to, which I suppose is the point.

Ah, but I am being remiss in my manners again. Hello, dear Inui, how are you? I've finally gotten myself one of these journals, and am delighted by how many familiar faces I've found here.

It helps to (a) translate the actual riddle correctly, and (b) be a somewhat literal-minded individual.

If nothing else, these journals are certainly a very constant source of entertainment. Though, I must admit, I'm rather surprised to see you've only just gotten one. Surely your coursework hasn't been keeping you that busy.

Of course, but I don't doubt you managed admirably well. Your intellect has always been quite impressive.

Truthfully, I avoided it for a while, despite the entertainment value, for a personal reason. However, curiousity and boredom conspired to drive me to create one anyway. I do regret letting my inhibitions rule me for so long. These journals are apparently a goldmine of information not even the rumor mills can match, and all of it firsthand.

And of course, there's the chance to communicate with such interesting people as yourself.

This, from Hyoutei's tensai - I'm flattered, Oshitari-kun.

A personal reason? Do I want to know who you were trying to avoid?
all of it firsthand.
Some of it a bit more firsthand than might have been desired, unfortunately. Though, that does make our apparent insulation all the more appreciated.

That sounds very nearly starved for decent conversation.

Tensai or not, I tend to keep my eyes open to the truth, my dear friend. I'd probably be more enamored of your data tennis if our team hadn't been one-upped by it at so many crucial points.

It's nothing, truly. My thoughts on the matter are hardly worth your curiousity.

Oh, but there's nothing so wonderful as undeniable proof from the very person in question. It makes the leverage against them much harder to displace, after all.

Not at all, as I'm still rather picky about the company I keep, aside from provoking Atobe and trying to be friendly towards Chinen (with mixed results).

After Echizen and Renji's discussion of it's merits, I am almost gratified to hear that.

I'm sure your thoughts on quite a few subjects are well worth any curiosity I may or may not have.

Generally speaking, I usually prefer to be the one utilising such leverage, rather than the other way around. Of course, given the near-absurd level of oblivion that tends to be exhibited on here ... I suppose I need not worry.

I imagine being friendly towards Chinen-kun is quite an ... involving experience.

[kansai_romantic]

Indeed. I suppose a backhanded compliment is still a compliment. Suffering a lapse in confidence over it? How unexpected.

On most subjects, they are. Anything else you'd be interested in knowing said thoughts on? I quite enjoy talking about a number of things.

But of course. And you are correct, the only ones utilizing the leverage tend to be the only ones looking for it in the firt place. Silly, really, given the arsenal most of the others present for use. Do they really not understand the concept of the internet?

No more so than towards an intellectual like yourself. You have that much in common, at least: words must be chosen with care in either case. For one, to avoid conflict from perceived insults. For the other, to avoid tipping my hand. In both instances, I keep on my proverbial toes.
