I ...got sponsorship. After all. I guess it was a prank or so. It's nothing big, but I get a chance. It's a lot more than most people get. I'm grateful.

Now, if we punish all wrong doers by sending them to a hospital... I actually like that idea, while at the same time I feel happy I'm not one. I'm not against violence, but threatening physically goes far in most cases. I'm not about to speculate as I hardly know the facts in this case, but I do think that maybe this camp will be a lot more quiet without Marui around. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. It remains to be seen.

Last weekend was pleasant. It feels like it's been such a long time since we actually did anything together, other than sit in the hospital, wishing that we would still have a chance to do things like this. It was good to see everyone smiling, though An caused great damange to my hearing, screaming into my ear in the roller coaster. :)

I feel stupid after making that marking there. But not stupid enough to take it off.

Once again it seems like I have no need for this journal, since I don't update it. I'm not a forgetful person, but I really think it's almost waste of time to write in a journal I don't exactly need. but, it also seems like I don't know how to get rid of this so let's see...

Welcome back, Fuji. I'm glad to see you got out of the hospital.

Also, my sister fainted during class. Well, looks like it's nothing to worry about. She's been eating too little, silly girl.

Nothing else. The weeks been busy and school's been ok. Yeah, and I got a call from dad.

Who did it?

Sport day's coming up. I saw the sign ups list and I wonder can Tezuka, Sanada and Atobe really pull all that off. I guess I can't expect too much challenge with them tiring themselves out, but I'll do my best in my chosen sports. I was a little late signing up for some sports but there was trouble with the electronical stuff again. That and I haven't really been paying attention.

Well, good luck for everyone, anyway. Let's see where this goes to. I'm not about to lose in any case.

Making some Thai food for dinner, if you're coming, Fuji. Senri might join us. What about you, An, Miyuki?

Things come and go, like my birthday. If An hadn't reminded me in such enthusiastic way I might not have remembered the whole thing. There are other things in my mind at the moment. One can really lose himself in tennis. Maybe that's why I love it so much.

Fuji, what would you like for dinner?

( Private )

It's good to see Kamio and Ibu again. The reason I'm late in writing about them in this journal is because I still very much suck with electronic things, computers especially, and managed to break this thing. It keeps jamming up every five minutes and I have to reboot it.

Fuji is teaching me piano. It's interesting. I can play Twinkle twinkle, Little Star by heart now. I feel a bit more musical than earlier.

The bake-off will be in the bag. There are some recepies from mom's stash somehow got lost between my own. I'm sure we'll find something win-worthy going through those. An and I are cooks by nature. There shouldn't be much to worry as long as we do our best.

Then again. Just making something really good might be a better goal than winning. I enjoy eating sweet stuff. Occasionally.

We decided to stay home until the end of the vacation. This is the time we need to be together as family as much as we can within this limited time. Mom over-did herself with dinner yesterday. It really reminds me who taught me how to cook and who taught me how to never give up. This is why we are a family.

I took a quick look at the class assignments for the next school year. I'm glad they make more sense now. I feel hard times ahead, but I will do my best.

( Private to self )

The lion's back. Not in the camp though. Yet. We'll be coming back by the end of next week, it seems. Sorry for leaving so abruptly.

(Yeah, he's messed up enough to apologise ^_^;; I'm writing a fic about this shit so explenations are coming~)

An, mom just called. We gotta go home right now.

It's dad.

Don't pack, I'll wait in the stairs.

When it's all over and done with, I feel a bit orphean, for some weird reason. Not because we lost, we played well, but because of reasons unknown. I look outside and I see the sun shining. I'll go for a jog, everything will sort itself out.

Senri, it was incredible.

(ooc: Someone took his team away again : ( Oh well, he's tough, he'll make it.

Also, yes, he is talking about the match, what else would he be talking about?)

I still hate the idea of other teams changing their line-up according to our line-up, so I didn't make this public. The line-up might change after the first match, If. We. Win.

S1 Kirihara
S2 Wakato
S3 Myself

D1 Jackal, Kenya
D2 Hiyoshi, Atsushi

An, I promised you you could play. You'll get your chance if we win this first match, so train hard. In case you need help, just ask.

Do you guys have complaints? If you have let's hear it. Warning you though, I need good back-upped complaints to change this.

Anyone who's not serious about this tournament, tell me now. Others, we have three days. Let's do our best in being the best team. Kirihara, good job. Let's play again after the tournament.

Oh, that's right, I own this thing.

I don't think we have anything to worry with the sensei-team. Let's not get careless, either way.

(ooc: He wanted to say it! I think he's always wanted to say it! So now he said it~ ♥)

edit. So, everyone in team 1. Get your asses out tomorrow morning. Let's start by having matches to decide who will play what place. I'm S1, though. Don't want that spot to start fights.

There's something in watching your family sleep safely in their beds and remembering bits about the day that made them so exhausted. I don't think I'll ever see the boys as calm as right now. I feel hopeful for the future.

I must remember to make more time for my boys, even outside these kinds of events. I realise I have been too busy over the past year. They have grown so much. Remembering how I was in puberty, I'm glad I had a steady home to fall back to, even if dad worked much. That's what I hope to give my children.

Can't believe this thing still exists. I was told to use this, though I still suck in this sort of thing. I have a secretary to use computers for me, usually.

Been here a while, so don't need to be saying anything much. I don't remember how to write private posts, so I'll just gloat in this little secret, and not tell anyone about it.

I know I said this yesterday, but happy birthday, Senri. An, what the fuck were you thinking! You don't just go off on your own and leave a note like that! You better be up and about. We're going to the Shrine soon.

I left my PDA in the camp and lost it. I'm sure tons of people wanted to hear from me anyway, so it doesn't matter. I have it back now.

As much as I would like to know what am I doing in that list, I will still make a speech.

I'm Tachibana Kippei and I can handle the pressure if I have to. If I'm elected I will bring justice upon you all be just and fair, and I will do my very best in looking out for us all. Thank you.

I will vote for the right person. In this case it would probably be Tezuka or Ootori.

(ooc: strikes gone ♥)
