Looks like those I once called my tribe are comin' 'round near Stella again. They do it every year, like lotsa tribes at this time 'round now. Wonder how many'll show up this year. ...Though whatever's the case, I ain't gone back or even tried to in years. Not since before...I lost Okan. An' jus' the thought of goin' back after that made me feel ( Read more... )

♥♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHOU-CHAN~!!! ♥♥...'Kay, that was pretty stupid lookin', so I'm gonna stop that ( Read more... )

I forgot how fun it is ta jus'...hang out with Yuka sometimes~ Seems like the folks're always keepin' 'er too busy these days for us to do that much. I know they get mad if I take 'er away for awhile, but...whaddaya want from me? We miss jus' bein' ourselves together for a bit. ...So I ain't apologizin' for helpin' 'er get away from 'er studies.

So...looks like the old man found 'imself a bit of happiness~ Or well, so I'm hearin' from 'im.

...Um....nice to hear 'bout ya, Masa-chan~?

[Screened to Niou]...Look. Okay, I know this is gonna be weird as hell for both of us. You're...what, 'round same age as me? An' he's pretty much my dad. No, I ain't expectin' ya to treat me any special way ( Read more... )

Y'know...sometimes it sucks tryin' to stay the happy, outgoin' optimist. 'Specially when the folks ya care 'bout keep givin' ya reasons to feel otherwise. But no, *somebody's* gotta take on the job of constantly bein' positive an' friendly, otherwise we'll all jus' fall into a pit of sadness an' woe, I guess. Or at least, that's what I've started ( Read more... )

Y'know, even though I was fussin' 'bout my troubles with my boss a few days ago, I ain't forgettin' how lucky I am at a time like this. Even if things ain't as great as I was wishin' this year, I know I'm luckin' out in lotsa ways~ I know I've got folks who love me~ I know I was blessed to end up where I am~ I know I've got an Oton an' best friend ( Read more... )

Lotsa folks keep worryin' 'bout the troublesome stuff with that Aquila guy an' what he might do, but y'know, I ain't seein' any point in focusin' on it at all. The folks who mean well ain't got nothin' to be afraid of. An' those of us who he wants to try an' rescue can tell 'im that if he comes lookin'. Simple as that, doncha think~? I'm bettin' he ( Read more... )

Over the years, folks have constantly called me really strong an' talked 'bout what I could do with my strength if I really wanted to, whether it was somethin' good or bad. So it's somethin' I've heard for mosta my life just 'cause it's somethin' I was born with, or 'least for as long as I can r'member. Prolly 'cause I inherited it from Okan. ( Read more... )
