Shinji,
There are days where I don’t understand Americans, too. The problem of being part of two cultures as that I can’t be fully part of one or the other. I’m Japanese and American, and it sucks some days. It’s hard to find someone who understands that. There are times I feel like Japan was just a dream, one I didn’t want to wake up from. But then I felt the same way about the States when I was in Japan. Che. Whatever.
Fuji-senpai scares a lot of people. Yuuta’s dating that scary manager person that Fuji-senpai hates? I don’t want to be him when Fuji-senpai finds out. And on the street courts? Kissing isn’t tennis.
Kirihara…yeah, that’s him. That’s right…he injured your captain, right? Heh…your date with him is tomorrow, isn’t it? I bet money he tries to kiss you.
How come you weren’t playing tennis? There had to be someone to play with, so you didn’t have to sit there and write an email. Monkey King been around at all? He emailed me once, but it was so full of “Ore-sama” that I deleted it without reading it. And your friend sounds like a slut. Though I think Momo-senpai would be just has happy banging Kaidoh-senpai or that rhythm friend of yours as he would be Tachibana’s little sister. Che. Relationships are too complicated.
Got your links. The music isn’t bad. I’m giving you some links to what’s popular over here right now. Not sure how much you’ll understand. Just because you can read and write English and not completely suck doesn’t mean that you can understand it being sung.
He’s in love with you, and it’s a date tomorrow. I bet he tries to kiss you. Will it be your first kiss? Just try not to let him go too far on the first date…you wouldn’t want you’re Tachibana-san to think you’re easy, would you?
Simple. High schools here go from grades 9 through 12. I’ll be in 9th grade next year, and a freshman in high school. You’ll be in 10th, and also a freshman in high school. Makes me wish all schools had the same grade divisions. And…I don’t know if I’ll ever go back. My parents both seem pretty happy here right now. Could change, ‘specially if Oyaji gets homesick again.
Heh. If they kiss, get a picture of it? I’d rather see that than Fuji-senpai in a skirt.

P.S.: You do have an unhealthy fascination with it. Che. It’s just grip tape. Nothing to get excited over. Though if you’re offering…manga. If you can send me some, I’ll send you the money and a list. They’re released so slowly here, and some of the translations make no sense.
