I'd like to turn me up

Well, I guess that coulda gone worse. We sold outta most stuff an' I didn't actually have to bake anything. They did make me decorate some stuff, which I guess is kinda girly but it wasn't so bad. Plus I got to eat all the extra frosting.

Too bad Mom didn't get the clue that I didn't want her to tell a certain older brother when the fundraiser was. Now I'm out 5000 yen 'cause he decided to swipe some cookies an' assumed I'd pay. Great.

Wonder what the final tallies were - the seniors all wanted to count an' said the rest of us would just get in the way.

Geez, it can stop being crappy outside already. I wanna practice outside - tennis just isn't the same inside. Plus we gotta do more running than playing, an' that's just not fair.

I think the team just realized that this school festival thing's supposed to be happening soon. We had a meeting about it after practice today. I think there's supposed to be a bake sale. Hope they don't want me to bake or anything. Maybe the girls' team can do that part of it or something.

Other than that I guess stuff's pretty normal. Lots of homework an' stuff, but at least Ryoga hasn't invited himself over lately. Mom wants to come visit, though - it's not like she never sees me.

Stuff's... just stuff, I guess. Nothing exciting going on unless you count Ryoga's new "friend" an' that's not exciting but at least we won the past coupla tournaments. That's good, but I guess not really unexpected or whatever. We gotta pretty good lineup here, and at least no one tries to make me play doubles or anything.

At least I've been getting to class on time f'r once. Thanks, An. There's definitely more homework this year than last, though. I don't get why the older you get, the more homework you're supposed to do. Since when does that make sense?

[OOC: Strike deleted. XD]

Fuck Why is he here again?

[OOC: Strike deleted; Ryoga is visiting again this weekend. :D;]

Someone should really figure out that morning isn't the best time to have tennis practice. What's wrong with just practice in the afternoon? Then no one has to get up early - an' no one has to run laps. I got there five minutes late an' I had to run 20 laps. Think that's a little much for five freakin' minutes. S'not my fault Kevin sent me a text right before I went to bed. Next time I'm gonna text him at like four in the morning there.

I still only have one pair of shoes - all the others're still missing the left one. Stupid Ryoga. I'm gonna steal all his shoes next time I go home. Or maybe his underwear. An' then burn it.

New roommate's not that bad. So at least that's okay.

[OOC: Strikes deleted.]

Thank God he's gone. Now where are all my left shoes. Dammit I hate my brother.

I think I'm almost glad t'start school again. Almost. At least practice'll be regular again.


[OOC: Strike deleted. :D;]

Great. My stupid brother wants to come visit during break. How many ways do I gotta I tell him no? I am not gonna let that big oaf take up all the room an' sleep on my bed an' make me sleep on the floor. He'll use all my toothpaste. There's a reason I wasn't gonna go home for break.

Guess I should start using this thing or something - not like it's all that useful, but whatever. As long as Ryoga doesn't find it. I dunno exactly what I'm supposed to write in here anyway - school's school, practice's practice, an' stuff's going pretty okay. At least people are willing to work hard here, which is good because it sure woulda been hell if no one took tennis seriously around here.

I think I'm finally getting used to living away from home - my roommate still thinks I'm jumpy or whatever, but I am not. S'just... well, when you grow up with an annoying older brother, you gotta be ready for anything. Is that really so hard to understand? It's not like he's gotta walk on eggshells or anything around me, but you'd think he did, the way he acts sometimes. Just 'cause I'm not used to sharing a room doesn't mean I'm not used to sharing other stuff. An' it's not like you can get any personal space at home. I think it's actually better here. If you look like you want t'be left alone, people pretty much leave you alone. Amazing. Too bad my family can't be like that.

... Great, gotta go. Ryoga just texted me. Guess I should see what he wants this time or he'll start spamming.


[OOC: Strikes deleted. Uh, I don't know anything about his roommate, so I'm just assuming it's a nameless freshman for now? It can be changed~]
