A woman never runs away, a woman never hides away in order to survive

[taikouhina]

As if the stress caused by the finals (which, by the way, are going just fine) was not enough, I got a surprising phone call from my mother yesterday. Since I turn 20 at the end of this month one of my father's old business partners approached my mother with a suggestion of an omiai between me and his son. Yes, an omiai; saying that I was surprised

I am certain that you will make quite an impression on the man if you have not already done so by word of mouth. Though I understand that it might distract you a bit from the finals but a bright woman like yourself should not have too many troubles.

Apparently I already have, he seemed very interested in meeting me; when I meet him I must ask what it is that he has heard. Why, thank you for the vote of confidence, Shuiichi-san. *smiles* No, it should not distract me too much from the finals and even if it does I am sure that I can make up for it.

Prideful, I was not aware that it was a trait you had attracted over the past year. Or maybe I should simply say that you are.. less modest.

When it comes to studying and such I have always known what I am competent of and not. Besides, I am growing up, Shuiichi-san. ^_^

[gekidoku_san]

Hm? Growing up? I was rather certain that you were already classified as a grown woman Sakura-san.

[taikouhina]

I think that depends on who you ask. ^^ Depending on who you ask I am sure that you will get several different answers.

[gekidoku_san]

Mmmm, possible. Yet your age and the fact that you have been proposed an omiai speaks of you as an already grown woman. Besides, I am rather certain they do not allow children to make permanent tattoos.

[taikouhina]

When you look at it like that, then I am indeed a grown woman. Ah, but there are always places that makes exceptions. One tattoo does not make one a woman - but there are many other things which can make us grow up and realize what we want and how to get it, and that tends to make one grow up to be a woman instead of a girl.

Of course, where would the fun in life be if that was not the case.

[taikouhina]

Oh, I am sure that one could find something else amusing to brighten one's life with. Sometimes the fun things in life might be something you had never expected.
