It's been very good to have some company here and there over the last week. I do like the degree of privacy I can get living here but old friends are always welcome. Nothing has been broken, Genichirou will be pleased to know. Considering the persons involved the visit went remarkably smoothly. I do confess I find myself almost suspcious, although of course I say this with affection.

Akaya commented that I need a cat or a dog. I have never been much of a dog person, but a cat... hm. (Melon-chan would probably not appreciate it, though.)

It really is a little odd to realise how near the end of something we are here.

Of course I hope that many of the things we have started here will continue for years to come, but a chapter is ending, all the same.

My friends, I am proud to have spent this time you. (Yes, Niou, even you.)

Somehow, life has been a little quiet lately. I never thought I would object to quietness, but I suppose there are different sorts. On one level I have been very busy, but on others...

I agree with Yagyuu, too; it does feel rather odd to be in limbo, with a fair expectation of what one's future will hold but no certainty. In a sense I feel very much between things. A lot has already changed this year and there is a lot more change to come.

Genichirou, might you have some free time this weekend? ~~I think I am thinking too much, improbable as that sounds coming from me.~~

Seiichi, I hope you had a good day yesterday. I apologise if I seemed somewhat distracted.

Our game appears to have fallen rather by the wayside, Yagyuu. Shall we continue? If you are not too busy apportioning blame for your common cold, that is.

Life has been a little uneventful lately; a lot of work and not much else to report.

The masquerade was thoroughly enjoyable, and this week has been just as good. I will see you all next week. This year seems to be going by awfully fast...

Yagyuu
I take the events at the weekend to mean that your problems with Niou have been thoroughly resolved. I'm glad.

I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to get a dog and then fail to train it correctly. I'm just glad most of my books are at school or on high shelves...

Genichirou, I hope you're not dead yet. If you can survive until tonight then you're invited to mine. ~~I refuse to spend more time getting slobbered on by a dog without backup.~~

Yes, Genichirou, I am using it as a doorstop, and may later use it as a paperweight, a piece of a zen garden, a grinding stone, and anything else I can think of ~~until it is sufficiently sorry~~. Please consider this before leaving it in places where it could ~~disrupt someone's zen by causing them to trip over it in the middle of the night~~ cause inconvenience.

If I seem tired it's because Genichirou refused to turn off the television last night. Not that I can particularly blame him; it was an excellent match.

~~It makes me somewhat sad that this season will likely be my last playing in tournaments, but there are other things to focus on. Still, tennis has been so important for so long...~~

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:20:01 GMT

Genichirou, it isn't nice of you to laugh.

Seiichi, you too.

~~That was frankly undignified. Hiccups really should happen to other people.~~

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:50:54 GMT

Niou, if you had paid attention you would not have to ask me for notes. No. ~~I am sure you'll manage to pass in a deeply improbable manner anyway.~~

Akaya
Quite honestly, I'm not sure that question deserves dignifying with an answer.

1. Green tea. Tea is very important.

2. Books: The Book of Five Rings and Confessions of a Yakuza. Well, Renji can be found reading all sorts of things. He rarely has less than two books with him.

3. Notebook and year planner.

4. Bubblewrap. A present from Genichirou...

5. A scarf. Renji can be feeling fine and then get very cold all of a sudden, so he carries it with him.

6. Hairbrush. It's important to be neat.

7. Pencil and pens.

This week could be accurately described as unpleasant. I feel my calm is beginning to be tested.

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:29:30 GMT

This really is a job that calls for full protective clothing. I suppose I may be able to find a way to justify a biohazard suit as a tennis club expense if I turn my mind to it.

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 08:49:54 GMT

Hmm. This is pleasant.

Akaya, I have a great deal of work to do tonight, but perhaps tomorrow or wednesday.

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:51:25 GMT

Akaya
I'll let you keep hiding in here ~~and I will even avoid making fun of you for now~~, but please tidy your clothes away.

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 08:01:59 GMT

Well, I think we've established that Genichirou is physically incapable of spending a weekend being lazy. ~~I think he might even have forced Akaya come over if Akaya hadn't been on a date at the time. I suppose it must be true that he likes pain.~~

Akaya
I believe you've forfeited the right to complain that I don't give you enough of my time.

Yagyuu
I trust you found the information helpful.

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:16:30 GMT

Akaya, next weekend will be fine, but please do not provoke Genichirou any further or I may have to reconsider.

Yagyuu, 8 minutes 10.

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 07:57:31 GMT

Genichirou You have been uncharacteristically distracted this weekend. Your grandfather seemed unimpressed, to say the least. I hope the distraction was an interesting one. ~~There is a high probability that it was. Would you care to share?~~

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 07:13:04 GMT

Tezuka, I hope you had a pleasant birthday.

Yagyuu - 7 minutes and 10 seconds.

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 08:15:53 GMT

That's much better.

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 07:01:38 GMT

Genichirou, Akaya: I'm afraid I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Akaya, you should know better than to drink things Niou offers you if you haven't seen what he put in it.

Genichirou
Everything is organised for next weekend. I think it will be an extremely timely break...

Tue, 01 May 2007 22:53:30 GMT

Yes, Akaya, I know.

I just have other things on my mind right now.

[ooc; Renji's post somewhat mirrors my current mood. Other things on my mind, etc. Sorry for not informing anyone but I am avoiding human contact whenever possible.]

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 19:33:17 GMT

Thank you.

...that's not how it works.

The order is all wrong.

I have to reorganize it. ...not that I mind. ~~It's kind of fun.~~

...and apparently bed head is possible for me.

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:44:51 GMT

She sat on me.

Let me out of bed, please.

~~First time in four years and it's this bad.~~
