...Yes, I'm alive, for those actually wondering. ...I've just been incredibly distracted ever since the earthquake hit. I've been in contact with those who matter most, but I apologize to anyone else I've worried. ...Updating a journal seemed like the least of my concerns ( Read more... )

As everybody else had been talking about and bringing up ad nauseum for the past couple of weeks, Valentine's Day has since come and gone. ...And I'm glad for it. Never really been a fan of the holiday. I suppose you could say that, yeah, in a way it's because of some pings of jealousy. I'm not in a relationship like plenty of others are, and I've ( Read more... )

So, yeah, as Masaya enjoyed poking at me about, I officially turned 17 back on the 30th. The last in the old gang to do so. So it's something of a joke among us Fudoumine guys that the biggest in the group happens to actually be the baby, so to speak. Which means I'll also get to enjoy going through this all over again next year when they all start ( Read more... )

I got into an argument with Kaasan on Friday about the prospect of me going to college after high school again. She's insistent that I need to go. Even if I simply choose to stick with construction, she thinks I should get a degree and become a contractor. It'll pay more.

Sorry that I'm asking this at the last minute, and I know I probably should've accepted your offer to begin with, but...

If you've got plans, that's fine, I'm sure I can find someone in the apartment complex to look after her, or you could take her with you, ( Read more... )

Like some of the others have brought up, by some divine luck, it looks like Yamabuki managed to get a second chance to do what we had meant to do right the first time and now we're in the Nationals with everyone else. And I think they agree with me in saying that we're not going to let this chance pass us by either. I know I might be considered one ( Read more... )

So yeah, as a bunch of other people have already mentioned, me and Kai-san won that volleyball tournament. It was mostly Kai-san's doing, though, as I admit I didn't exactly know a whole lot about volleyball or how to play it until we got there. But it was fun...for the most part. There was one part that I'd rather completely forget about ( Read more... )

So it looks like I've found myself a new living place for me, Namari, and Kaasan. Thanks to some help from Ryou-san, we found a nice apartment complex that's both cheap and safe, which was what I was looking for the most. Somewhere that I'll feel safe letting Namari roam around and where the neighbors are decent people. And from what I saw, the ( Read more... )
