Somebody thought lace was my cup of tea and decided to lace up all my tennis rackets with frill. Mature much?

The Olympics has been an eye-opener. I was watching the Swimming Heats last night and our Japanese swimmer did well, it makes me want to swim all of a sudden or be part of the Olympics. I never really thought the body could be that graceful in the water, apparently I was wrong. I think it means I should start working harder on tennis. Yes. I should.

Aniki finally come to a compromise, though he insists that I watch Death Note. I don't understand my brother anymore.


[ooc - SCHOOL HAS STARTED TO EAT ME ALIVE AGAIN D:]

Aniki found out that I hid his DVDs and he's not amused. He bought more DVDs and I've been grounded. This is unacceptable. I won't obey.

When Aniki insisted that I relax with him I should have known something was amiss. He is never this polite or civil. I complied like a good younger brother should and so when he insisted that I sit through 18 episodes of Sky Girls with him, I did not fight him. Some mecha girly anime. But I will not stand for it anymore. It is most unacceptable. If he wasn't my elder brother I would most certainly backhand him. Alas...

Nevertheless, girls should not be paraded around like slabs of fresh produce. It is unsightly and disgraceful. Furthermore their nonsense motionslit suit costume is completely unpractical. How in the world can they save Japan from alien monsters in such skimpy attire? They will freeze to death at high altitudes. The story line doesn't make sense. What makes it worse is one of them is a disgrace to the way of the sword.


[ooc - strikes deleted ;D and if you are interested in the anime he's watching, click here! And I'm sorry for the lack of activity, I'm having winter break and OMG there is so many things to do that I'm swamped, poke me on IM ne? ;D]

I've been held back by family matters. It feels like it's been forever and a day.

Regardless I am back. Are there issues I should be concerned about?


[ooc - HELLOOOOOOOOO YOU! Finals ended yesterday and I sat for the wrong one. But I'm here now ;D -throws confetti- So updates please?]

Practice feels slack, strangely. It's nice to have silence and compliance once in a while. Normalcy is seemingly overrated at Rikkai. Perhaps... Never mind, it's not like it matters anymore as long as... whatever. Jackal, good to have you back.

Practice is canceled until you all can show us maturity and honor. Do not go bug Seiichi or Renji or anything, I'll make you live to regret it. All of you. And I will not hesitate to throw ANYONE off the team. Don't make me repeat myself.

Billy, I'm in the dojo, don't come in unless you are trained in the way of the sword. No I'm not killing little animals inside.

Can someone explain in less than 10 words what in the world is happening to my team? I take a leave of absence to welcome my guest and hell breaks loose. D1 is doing their disappearance act, D2 is made of fail, Akaya is paranoid and I'm not amused. Fix it before I get involved.

Seiichi and Renji, we need to strategize, perhaps look into a different line up? Maybe the mess will right itself once we split them apart.

Only because Seiichi specifically asked it of me.

1. I don't like sweets or those girly desserts.
2. Glaring or slapping people are very tiring.
3. Sticks & stones may break my bones but words would never hurt me.
4. I hate corners, can't see what's coming at me.
5. Winter is my favourite season, it reminds me of Seiichi
6. I enjoy being kept busy constantly, keeps me on my toes.
7. I will not lose, not in games, or the people that I care for.
8. Just because I wear a cap, it does not mean I'm balding.
9. I don't like being called the Emperor.
10. I'm 15 not 50.


On a side note, Billy you drool in your sleep, please refrain from clinging onto me.

One of father's associates in the Department of Foreign Affairs has a friend in America whose son is coming for exchange and require our humble abode for the period. He plays tennis so I assume he shall join Rikkai tennis club.

Aniki blatantly refused to share his room, claiming that he needs to study for his college entry exams and I was handed the task to accede to the guest. To fail in such a simple mission would be completely unacceptable and I shall look forward to teaching him the arts of Kendo, Shouji and Calligraphy. Such are the traditional arts of our beloved country that needs to be exalted amongst all that gibberish 'pop culture'  that teeny boppers claim to be art. I hope he would enjoy the tranquility of our Dojo and that I wake up at 0530hours every day for a morning run. Duty above all.

Just for the record, my family stone has been found though the thief is still unknown. It most definitely does not have a name. Jackal, a hundred speed ball training for that 'Poochie' stunt you pulled on top of regular training and babysitting.

????????????????????????????

Where do you put your hands when someone hugs you from behind?

What is this flashing thing?

Is there another meaning to the word 'French'?

What is that thing that Yuuta was being punished for?

Why does the duck boy from St Rudolph quack?

Why do all red heads seem to have a thing for driving me nuts?

Why does Renji smell of oranges and Seiichi of snow?

Am I having a malfunction of the heart?

Momoshiro, I've fulfilled my dare, no?

I'm not sure if I understand Physics anymore. I should stick to History. And practicing... Tennis. Everything else is just too confusing.

To Do List:

1. Go to the library. Need... books on relationships. Tennis related relationships. Like formations. Okay never mind.
   
2. Physics experiments. Practice. Homework.
   
3. Discipline Renji's cats and check on his girly bandaging.
   
4. Appeal to the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals about the use of avian post. Again. Dan-san wanted a bird too.
   
5. Learn how to seal my mind. Or at least learn to read Seiichi's and Renji's.
   
6. Sharpen my katana. Perhaps I should bring it to school?
   
7. Identify if the stone with Masaharu is mine. Recarve the words behind it.
   
8. Bring Seiichi new stones for his plants and go with him to the doctor.
   
9. Form some sort of radar for people ambushing me. E.g. Seiichi, Renji, demonic red heads, stupid fan girls/boys, Masaharu
10. New training regime for the team. Too relaxed. Unacceptable.

[ooc - physics = code name for making out, pecking = kissing, Sanada is an old man with zero social/relationship skills D= Tarundoru!]

Things that need reiteration:

1. What is it with emoticons/hearts/those asterisks things/faces with punctuations? And how do you make them.
2. I don't light up. Period. Why are so many Rikkai regulars lighting up? Explain in less than 10 words.
   
3. There will no "Hug your Fukubuchou" Competition. Go. Away. I do not like hugs.
   
4. Jackal stop crying, watch your charges, they have become monkeys. If you see another red headed demonic rambutan/durian, do not let him get anywhere near me. If not I won't be held responsible for breaking his neck.
   
5. Do not let me find illicit material online that you posted that I don't remember being part of, or that's laps for you, or essays. Which reminds me Jackal 500 words on the finer points on how masculinity can be enhanced by tears or your sensitive new age thing.

Renji, we need a symbol for our brotherhood. The quest for all the answers in the world waits for no man.

On an unhappier note, someone stole my family stone, whichever person took it from my locker is going to suffer. Put it back with a note as to who you are and I will lighten the punishment. If it's not back in 23 hours and 59minutes, I'm calling the police. I am serious.

I knew I was forgetting something - call the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals to demand the usage of bird post again.

[ooc - strikes deleted, no he won't admit it that he's just jealous, that old man~]

What is this nonsense I hear that I'm a techno-phobe? Unacceptable. I am most definitely not IT-challenged.

I just prefer having my messages relayed the traditional way. Bird post. Snail mail. Face to face.

As for the team, pick up the slack already. Becoming too relaxed is dishonorable.
