Karasu. Sakon. Congrats on the interview.
More than anyone, the both of you deserve it.

Suzuki... can I talk to you later?

For the record, I do not like being approached by strange individuals who have nothing of particular interest to say to me.

Nothing really new.

But I suppose things being quiet and uneventful is a good thing, hn? Just means people aren't being as annoying as they are normally. Excluding whatever my roommate seems to be plotting.

I've applied for a few new jobs. Got a call back yesterday from one of the ones that'll have me doing photo shoots for models. I just need to update my portfolio... che. I need a couple of models for that though, men or women, it doesn't matter. Anyone willing to help out...?

Hey, dobe, how'd your practice test go?

Yesterday didn't turn out to be quite as relaxing as I thought, or rather hoped it would be. Tch... such is the life when you're in this family though. No one gets cut any slack.

It hasn't even been a month and already I'm moved out of my brother's. Deidara, I can kind of see why you couldn't put up with him! I don't know why I thought things would fucking change and be different for him and I, but whatever. It's over and done with now, and I'll be staying at Karasu's if anybody needs me.

I think... I'll be looking into different jobs revolving around photography soon. I miss modeling, but what with my reputation for fighting, as seen in the past, I don't think that's the best course of action for me to take at this point in time. Maybe I'll do photography for models though. I'm getting tired of covering boring articals in magazines, I want to branch out to more exciting ones, see more exciting people.

My camera's been feeling neglected anyways.

Calling into work sick. Even if I'm not sick. It's just beginning to feel like one of those rather lazy days... I'll have a drink, maybe a slice of toast, a cigarette, and then I think I'm going to go and crawl back into bed where it's warm and I don't have to stand up.

I'm so sick of standing right now it's not even fucking funny.


( Private )

I think it's safe to say that the weekend just past had to have been the worst ever I've experienced.

Brother... I need to talk to you.

So... does this mean my roommate is moving out?

Just perfect. I spend the night with a couple of lunatics (in their own right) getting interrogated, getting drunk, and take longer to get home than I intended, forgetting half of anything I said and nearly losing the notes I took while at the bar, only to find out... tch. It's not even worth thinking about. No matter how I look at it, I can't afford this place on my own, not with the job I'm working. And with having to worry about school soon, I can't really afford to take up a second job.

This... this is why I don't fucking trust a lot of people. They just throw shit into your face and never warn you about anything, it's ridiculous. And people have the nerve to tell me I'm inconsiderate?

Took the day off work. My fucking headache... and this mess to solve... I need the time.


( Private )

In the year 2007 I resolve to: Loose at least seven jobs. Get your resolution here.

New Years was definitely... amazing better than expected.

Karasu, you'd better not get pissy for me using your computer this morning. Or for me having to leave early today. Unlike some people I still have to work. But... I'll at least wait until you wake up.

Reminder to Self: Deadline is today. Hn.

So I've managed to form a connection with somebody interested in starting up their own publishing company. They said they were interested in something I might write after we discussed a few ideas, and if I can put together a draft for a short story before January first... they're going to see if maybe they can pull together an editor and such and go over the little piece and talk about publication.

Holidays are full of surprises... hn? I guess I really have no complaints though, stuff is... actually looking up. It's nice for a change.

I'll be busy with that deadline though... on top of having to write up other articles for work still, and other scheduled plans. But... this is what I've wanted for so long. I'm headed in the right direction finally.

It's going around.

( My X-Mas Stocking )

Ishida. The room closest to the livingroom is mine. Keep out.

Speaking of which, I've gotten rather nicely settled in... picked out some bedroom furniture and had it moved in. A few payments on that and it'll be fully mine. I figure buying it that way, purchasing in installments, is a better idea than blowing a whole wad a cash all at once. This way I can still keep up with my half of the payments on this place, as well as keep up with groceries.

Though... with my job... it's going to be tight on my end. Well, I've never been one to quit, and it'll be fine so long as I meet deadlines. Hopefully I don't need to go pick up a second job, though I could manage it for the time being. It's something to consider, I guess. Maybe... well, whatever.

I think... I'm feeling better. A little. Better than I have been recently, at the very least.

Tokyo.

You might think it would be large enough, populated enough, to hide the faces of those you don't want to see, but apparently it's not.

Che... So much for the great escape.

Leaving New York early.
Instead, I'm heading home.

Something... has come to my attention.
It will be nice to see Sapporo again... if only it were under less unfortunate circumstances.


Deidara. I better not see you anywhere in the general vicinity of those grounds.
Brother. Keep your filthy, rag-tag little pet out of that house... away from that room.


Karasu... I'll call you as soon as the plane lands. I need to talk to you.


( OOC: In reguards to my hiatus... )

Why is it that people are so persistant in asking foreigners to speak their native languages? I swear, since coming here I must have had one hundred or more people ask me to say something in Japanese. I feel like an animal on display at the local zoo... che. It isn't like I go around asking them to say something in English, so what's the big deal?

Well, maybe that's the most annoying thing I've encountered here in New York so far... that and this one guy who... kind of looked like somebody else I know. But I'm not really going to get into that. That bastard isn't really isn't worth my thoughts.

I've found out online schooling is a lot more demanding than people like to think, but it's more my speed, and it's nice not to have to deal with the hoards of people crowded into one classroom. I've been managing pretty well with it so far, and I've had enough time in between to catch a showing of RENT, as well as check out some of the museums and art galleries.

I'll be out tonight with a few people I met, a med student from a local university and some of his friends. I think... one of them was named Thomas or something. Well, at least the flock isn't a complete bunch of airheads... And next weekend I'll hopefully be getting to see Wicked... just like you wanted me to, Suzuki.

I'll be back at Sado on the 30th. Though I like it here, I think it'll be a bit of a blessing to be back. Still... need to find souvenirs for people.


( Private to Karasu )

I'm leaving... temporarily. I need a bit of a change of scenery. New faces, new places, that sort of thing.

I've managed to work out switching my schooling over to online classes. I'll probably finish the term that way even after I get back from New York. It'll be easier in the long run, even if it's pricey.

So... it's sayonara for the month.
I leave tomorrow.

Spent the night over in the hospital on Thursday. So I had a bit of blood loss, big deal... che. I don't think that constitutes a reason to keep me overnight in that sick smelling ward, then again, given the choice I would say nothing short of my head about to fall off of my shoulders constitutes as a reason. Worst damn rest I've ever had, all I could hear was other people whining all night. I think I caught something from one of them though. I sure as hell haven't felt so hot since then...

It's probably just some minor cold or whatever though. I'll be over it and feeling fine again before I know it. Maybe being back in my old room in a couple of days will help... hn.

I can't wait for this fucking project to be over with now. It's easy as hell, my partner is tolerable, even the fucking room arangements are all right... the doll's even pretty well behaved for an inanimate object with a computer chip wedged up its' ass.

But it's getting in the way. Along with some other things I know of... tch.

I think I'll be dropping some dead weight soon. And I don't mean the fucking Chucky wannabe I've been lugging around and babysitting either.


( Private )

I'm finished with the modeling job. Can't really be a model when you look like a bruised slab of meat half of the time. I'll find something else, but before then I'll focus on pulling up my grades. They've been slipping... Hn. Well, it won't be too hard to fix that, but I doubt my GPA will be as flawless as normal by the end of this term. Whatever.

One more week to go before I'll be able to spar rightfully again, swim, and everything else. Guess it'll teach me not to get hit square in the face anymore.
