The Boring Life Of A Girl Genius

Ahn-kun, thank you for kitten-sitting Haiiro while mom and I finished painting my room. ^_^ I don't think he'd like it if he got paint on his paws or anything.

But...uhm. Break has been so busy, with making new curtains and stuff. Mom said I could paint my room any color I wanted so now it's a really pretty green, and my curtains are purple with orange flowers! I even made new pillow covers with the rest of the fabric I bought. ^_^

I guess it's good I've been busy sewing and stuff...mou. It's way too cold to go play tennis, even though we did really good at the student fair and signed up a bunch of new members. And some of them are actually good at tennis too! ^_^ Though it's going to be so weird next spring...buchou will be gone. ._. We might actually have eight regulars next year.

Mmm…now that practice isn't so intense, I've got time to work on other things. Like finishing unpacking. I thought I would get it done over the summer, but I guess I've got too much stuff. ._. And Haiiro keeps getting himself stuck in the boxes.

I think he wants a kitty-tree or something to climb.

At least he hasn't gotten outside and gotten stuck in a real tree. He's not very good at climbing down stuff when he gets up on top of it.

Though he is good at getting into my yarn when I'm knitting. How am I supposed to get everyone's Christmas stuff down on time if he keeps jumping into my yarn basket and tangling himself up? He's such a silly kitty sometimes. Mom said he just needs his own basket of yarn to play in, so I think I'm going to go get him some this weekend. Maybe he'll leave mine alone then…

Oh, and Ahn-kun, I'm going to wear the costume I bought over to your house Wednesday night. ^_^


[ooc] For my three Fudo girls, Akiko will be a sexy little devil; Kisa, an Amazon warrior; and Shi-chan will be dressed as an angel~

Mou...I wanna go play tennis, but I don't know if I want to go by myself. And I know Kiko-chan doesn't want to go. Maybe I should call Ahn-kun.

I guess I could sew something, but I need fabric and my sewing machine is packed. And I don't want to unpack it because we're going to move next week when mom's got some time off, and I'd just have to repack it and all my other stuff for sewing.

Ahn-kun! The timer worked and I didn't burn them this time! ^____^ You can actually eat them!

Practice today was...uhm...scary? No, that's not right hard, but that's good because it'll make us stronger. And we have to get stronger if we're going to get to Nationals.

[ooc] Strike deleted.

It was fun, last week, when everyone kept saying that they wanted to watch us practice and take pictures. There was even this really nice lady from a magazine, but...uhm. It's kinda creepy now.

Like...Creepy-san creepy. ._.

There are people from other schools showing up to practice, which doesn't make sense because if they're at our practice, then...how can they be practicing too? Or even at school, because they show up before we even start practice. Which...they shouldn't be skipping school! That's just...it's bad. ._. And there was one creepy girl with a notebook who kept writing it

Buchou said not to hit tennis balls at them 'cause it was a waste of perfectly good ammo tennis balls.

We didn't take first place, but everyone says that that's okay because we did so much better than they expected us to. Hmmm...I guess they haven't watched us practice. Though that guy from the school newspaper was there at practice today and he took pictures and everything. And a bunch of the other kids at school were hanging around the court, which was pretty weird.

Though some people seemed upset that we didn't win..but we did better than any other girls' team since ever

Ahn-kun did really good too. ^_^v And then we got to go out after we were done for ice cream.

I like spring, even though it's still a bit chilly out. I don't really notice, because we're playing so much right now! We got to play Echizen-chan and Momoshiro-chan at doubles over the weekend, and then the other night, Kiko-chan and I played Saku-chan and...uhm. I think she said her name was Arai-chan?

It was fun~ And they play good together. Almost as good as Saku plays with Ishida-chan

And I even played Ahn-kun when we went on our date Sunday. I won! ^_^

Dad called and asked for the times for prelims too. I think...he might actually come to one of our games. I...wow. My dad never I hope we do good

Also, I found out why my mom keeps going out so much on her day off. She's looking at a new apartment for us! ^__^ A bigger one, so Haiiro would have more space, and the one she really likes is even closer to school! So I don't have to walk as far through the scary neighborhood or anything. She said we're going to move after school lets out for the summer!

I've been playing a lot of tennis lately. Dad even understood that I don't want to go visit because it'll interupt my practice time, and that wouldn't be good right now. But it's been fun and I think I'm getting better. ^_^ Though I haven't been able to spend as much time with Ahn-kun. He's been practicing for the boys' prelims too, so we've both been so busy. I don't think they'll make it past district...which sucks. Ahn should be able to play in Kantou. He's good enough; it's just the rest of the team that sucks. ;-;

And the street courts are finally open again. Kiko-chan, we should go play and beat Sakurai again. Or maybe play doubles against Momo-chan and Echizen-chan again. I want to play more so I can be really good by Nationals

Wow...there's been a lot to do. Between school and practice, and going over to Ahn's to make cookies and snuggle, I haven't really been writing in this thing much. Oops. ^^;;;

I even went to dad's last Sunday and it was nice. He took the day off and we went to a nature museum with my little brothers (which I think they liked more than I did, but I'm not going to tell him that...) and then got ice cream. It was still lots of fun. Even my stepmother was...kind a nice too.

But yesterday was the best! I got homemade chocolate and cookies from Ahn-kun and they're so yummy! ^__^

Dad came to Tokyo over the weekend. It was for some work thing, but…he stopped and visited me too and we talked a little bit. I still don't want to go see him if I'm just going to be stuck at his house with my stepmother. He said he was sorry about that, though, and he didn't realize that we didn't get along.

Uhm. So…I guess I'm going to start visiting him again, only not stay the night. We talked about it and I can go on Sundays after morning practice, then come home Sunday night. He even talked about getting a sewing machine for me so I can work on some stuff while I'm there, in case he's busy. ^_^

I'm going to start going next weekend. So…uh. Yeah. I hope this goes better. I don't want to fight with my stepmom anymore. Even if she is an evil witch

I finished making new curtains for my room, and new shams for my pillow case. Mama said they were really pretty, but we can't repaint the walls right now. She's been going out on her days off a lot to, but she won't tell me where! She says it's a surprise. I do know that she got moved up a level at her salon. She's a stylist now! ^__^


( Ahn-kun )

Mou...it's too cold outside. I want spring to get here so we can start playing tennis outside again. And for matches to get here. But at least we've been able to play inside and the basketball team is kind of leaving us alone.

I guess that's because Ishida's going out with one them. He seems nice...which is good, because if he wasn't then buchou and Kiko-chan would probably beat him up. ^_^

I'm going to have to go the fabric store after practice today. Mama got us a new sewing machine for Christmas, and I've been busy. I made new curtains for my room and new pillow cases, but I want to get some new patterns. I might as well use the money that Dad sent me for something I like, but I don't need any new tennis gear. I've got plenty of grip tape.

I guess I really should go visit him. He sent me a postcard and then called on New Years and we talked for a bit, but I couldn't stay long since everyone was meeting up to get mochi. Maybe if I don't stay overnight it wouldn't be so bad. I kind of miss my stepbrothers too, even if their brats.

Merry Christmas everyone! ^__^

Echizen-chan, I hope you had a good birthday last night. Last night should have been good for everyone, like it was for me!

[ooc] Strikes deleted. :D

Haiiro's being silly again. He keeps batting at the ornaments on the bottom branches of our tree. It's cute but I hope he doesn't break them or anything. ^_^ Mama had me put the plastic ones down there, so he shouldn't.

He likes the ones with the jingly bells in them best.

But this morning, he climbed up in the tree…and got stuck. I found him there after I got home from practice. He was so scared. ._. At least the tree didn't tip over or anything, and he didn't get caught up in the tinsel and garland. He needs to learn not to do that.

Christmas gifts are almost done. ^__^ I've got to go get more yarn, though. I hope the team and Ahn-kun like the scarves mama taught me to knit.

Mmm…Christmas Eve is going to be so boring. Mama and buchou both have to work late, and Akiko's going to be out. Mou…I guess I'll just stay in and play with Haiiro or something.

Kiko-chan, are you going to come over on Christmas Day?

I got to go to mama's salon last night and help put up their new tree. It's so pretty, and it's big. They almost couldn't fit in the waiting room. ^_^

And we're going to decorate the clubhouse today too. Buchou brought in a cute little tree and we've got tinsel and everything. It's going to fun. I still hate practicing inside though. Mou...the basketball players are so annoying. They keep throwing their balls into our practice, and then saying it was an accident when know it's not. Stupid basketball players. ._. Buchou, we should hit balls at them...please?

At least Ahn-kun got my hair pin back from Creepy-san. Mou...I can't believe that he's been hanging around practice again.

Kikumaru-chan had this posted on her journal, and it's pretty. ^_^

( Quiz )

Mou...don't want to go to school today. I have a test. ._.

I finally got a card from my dad in the mail today. Though, it looks like my stepmom signed everyone's names, so I doubt he even noticed that he forgot my birthday.

But that's okay, because I still had the best birthday ever! ^__^ And Mori's not mad at me anymore…and she and Ahn broke up I got hair ribbons and a pretty barrette from Akutsu-kun, and a kitten!

I've named him Haiiro, because he's a pretty gray color. He's so little and cute! And he likes to sleep on my pillow next to me. ^_^ And get into mama's knitting basket…which is funny, cause he gets all tangled up in her yarns, but I hope he doesn’t get onto on of her knitting needles or something. I don't want him to get hurt. ._. Though mama's putting her basket up when she's not using it now.

Oh wow…and it's already the end of November! I need to start Christmas shopping this weekend.


[ooc] Haiiro means gray. >.> Yes, she really does suck at naming things. :D;;;

Today was my birthday and it was so much fun. ^_^

Some of the girls in my class decorated my locker with streamers and balloons, and Kiko-chan brought me a really good bento for lunch. Then buchou brought cupcakes to practice and let me play a match against her! I lost but…it's buchou.

Mori-chan was even nice to me today.

The team got me twelve rolls of my favorite grip tape so I won't run out this season. ^_____^

Tomorrow's going to be fun too. I get to spend the night at buchou's house with her and Kiko-chan.

The match was easy to win. I think the other team sucked, but buchou said that they actually played pretty good and I was just that much better. I guess all of the training we've done since last year is really paying off.

Though I still don't see the point in all the laps. ._.

Hopefully district will be more of a challenge. I don't know...maybe it won't be. Buchou's tweaking our training schedules again so that we can work on the areas she saw as weak on Saturday.

I want to go shopping at the fabric store. But Uchimura-chan won't go with me because she's mad at me because Mori-chan is mad...

Ishida needs to stop hitting so hard all the time. She almost broke the strings of my racket and I don't want to have get it restrung so close to match. I'm just getting it broke in now. ._.

And school should stop being so boring. Or stop giving me tests. Suck.

Kiko-chan, are you going to need help studying for our math test on Wednesday?
