Feb. 2nd, 2014 10:14 amJob hunting, walk the dog, buy more human and pet food, buy treats, buy more cat toys (ones that don't easily fall apart between kitty teeth and claws) and since Mamoru seems to be getting a little jealous I need to buy him some new chew toys as well. And since Kenya and Hikaru are getting jealous of the love I have with my kitten, I should buy them both a little something too~ ;)
The important thing in that list is the job hunt. New house, finally have my eyes back, I've no excuses now! Problem is I'm not really sure what I want to do! Over the years I've tried a bit of everything... I worked on a fishing boat for a while, I've sold shoes and suits and flowers and fastfood, I've worked with the old, the young and animals... I've done a lot without settling on one thing! So while the important task is finding a job, the equally important task is finding a job that suits me, one that I want to stick with and will enjoy!
And that's the hardest task of all.
But I'm going to do it. I've already looked around the area, I've a few ideas but... I'm waiting. :) I don't want to hold my breath or hope too much, but I think... I might know what I want to do.

Jan. 31st, 2014 11:11 pmI have mysterious scratches on my arms... And they're not the kinky kind either. I think my angel has a little devil in her!
Almost finished unpacking boxes now. Just need to know where to put all these empty boxes... Throw them away or keep them up in the attic (WE HAVE AN ATTIC) for a time we might need them again. I'm thinking the latter, since you never know when you'll need a good box!
Things are starting to come together, housewise, it's starting to look like a home!
Thing I'm looking forward to the most? Decorating! Making this place ours... It's a blank canvas right now, it needs a human touch! I'm thinking about starting with the bedrooms. Including the nursery, because I didn't forget Kenya giving me the go ahead to set one of those up! Whatever happens, I know we'll have Shouta's little baby around here often, she'll need a place to stay and while our bed is big enough I don't think a newborn can sleep in the same bed with three men! So a room of her own is needed and I am going to enjoy getting that set up!
I was thinking we would set up a kind of a sound system in there? I know we'll need baby monitors and things, but I was thinking about how kids like music and... maybe we could pipe in Hikaru's music? Some of it, the softer stuff at the least. How does that sound? Too weird?

Jan. 11th, 2014 11:10 amYou'd think my parents had never left Japan before the way they're running around all wide-eyed and in awe of everything! When we're not watching Miyuki train/practice or play an actual match... I'm being dragged around as the beast of burden for my parents. It's the only reason they want me with them, to carry their stuff! I will say it's nice not being the tallest person around though!
The weather is... amazing! Been here just a few days and don't think I've seen a bit of rain or a breeze anywhere, just a lot of sun. It's a far cry from what it is back in Osaka. Makes me wish I could have brought Kenya and Hikaru along with me. But Hikaru has his convention and Kenya is watching Mamoru, so it's just me being dragged around.
At least they have a house to go home too now! Managed to get the last of the things moved into the new house before I left for Australia. Just think there were a few bits and pieces left, but Kenya promised to get them moved.
It's getting late here, though, so I'm heading to bed!

Jan. 8th, 2014 02:10 amI'm just sitting here... the boys are in bed and I was reading a book. Until, that is, Mamoru decided he thought he was a puppy and threw himself across me. I think he actually wanted me to pick him up and hold him! He forgot that he's a huge mutt that is just too heavy to be picked up.
But I think that's my cue to head on to bed. If he's cold and lonely I'll bring him along with me. It's already going to be cramped with both Kenya and Hikaru already in the bed... but we'll make it work!

Dec. 31st, 2013 09:08 pmAhem... MIYUKI STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY EMAILS! THEY ARE NOT FOR YOUR EYES SO STOP SPYING!
... You think you can trust a person. And then you go away, leave your laptop on your bed, and come back to find your little sister's been poking through your mail! And here I am, all the way across the world trying to support her in her efforts to break into the tennis world and take it by storm, away from the men I love on my birthday... and I'm being spied on...
I feel betrayed. Violated. I might cry. ;_;

Dec. 31st, 2013 12:19 pm... It's my birthday today. Miyuki told me. I... had completely forgotten! How does a person forget their birthday when they've had so many already? It's the same day every year and this is actually the third time I've forgotten it! Give me a year or two and I won't even be able to tell you how old I am. A few years after that I'll have forgotten my name!
I feel like an idiot... Seriously. How does a grown man forget something like that?
Kenya? Hikaru? I'm sorry. Really sorry I wasn't there for this.Don't hate me too much?
Have to end this here... Have to go and cheer my little sister on! I've a feeling by the time I get home I'm going to have no voice to take with me!

Dec. 28th, 2013 10:44 pmIt's hard to find the words to write down what I want to say... Hard to find the words to express my joy and happiness and... shock.
The fact I've been away for the last few days hasn't helped... and I'm packing to head of to Doha soon...
I have a house. WE have a house. A house all of our own... When I get back we'll be moving in, Kenya and Hikaru have promised to start getting things into boxes and then... haha I can't get my head around it! And it's not a small house either! It's big enough for all of us, plus a few extras! And has a garden for Mamoru and... I can't express how happy I am and... I don't know how to thank the one who gave us this gift. I don't... I just don't...
And now I'm wasting time... Miyuki's just text to make sure I'm packed and... ah, that'll do. It's only a few days!
Kenya? Look after Hikaru!
Hikaru? Look after Kenya!
Kenya and Hikaru? Look after Mamoru!
And behave yourselves while I'm gone!

Dec. 19th, 2013 09:20 pmThings I Need: (In no real order)
1: A job. I'm tired of being a sponge. How Hikaru and Kenya haven't yelled at me to get a job before now I don't know!
2: I need to go shopping again. Ran out of dog food. I swear I had more!
3: A hair cut. Split ends.
4: Hook up with Kippei. I miss him.
5: A hug. Can never have too many hugs.
6: Nail clippers.
7: To watch where I'm going. I have a bruise on my shin to remind me that there is a table in the front room.
8: Chocolate. Or cake. I have a craving for something sweet.
9: Hook up with Miyuki. I miss her.
10: Did I mention I needed a hug? Because I really do. Really.

Dec. 1st, 2013 01:40 amIt's been a while since I posted in this. Truth is I'd completely forgotten about it. Things have been up in the air lately and I haven't really felt right. It's a strange feeling. I'd go into detail but I doubt if any of you guys want to hear my rambling about the inner workings of my thoughts and feelings any more than I like dealing with them.
Right now things are mostly okay. Hikaru is back with us and sleeping in my lap. Kenya is settling down. And me...? There's still something niggling at the back of my mind. An itch I just can't reach. It's strange and uncomfortable. But I've almost gotten used to the feeling now, it's been with me so long.
I feel... restless, almost. Even now.
I'll wait the weekend and then... I think I need to get out for a little while. Just a little while.

Oct. 1st, 2013 11:49 amIt's raining... And I mean REALLY raining. Which is a stupid thing to say since I'm guessing I'm not the only person who noticed this! But I don't think anything's going to be happening today, no wandering the island or bikes or hikes. I'd say it was a shame but a lazy day inside will be a good thing!
I tried the surfing thing yesterday and had a lot of fun, but was vastly outmatched! I think I need to practice that a little more. When the weather is better. I'm not stupid enough to go out in this! The waves would swallow me up and I'd never be seen again!

Sep. 10th, 2013 08:12 pmHOME! Though I was just home too, so... SECOND HOME! Got back days ago though so... BELATED SECOND HOME!
Screw it, I'm in a cheerful mood, I'm not going to complicate it with confusion! Basically we had a great time at the family home! Mom was... real good. Dad was a little funny but I think he's realised I'm a big boy now and going to do whatever I want with whoever I want (so long as that's Kenya and Hikaru).
Hah, mom loved Hikaru though... I lost count of how many times she cuddled him. She hugged him more than me!!Should I be worried?
Home now though and... apparently we're going away again at the end of the month! It just doesn't stop! Not complaining though. Should be a hell of a good time, I'm looking forward to it.

Sep. 2nd, 2013 09:25 amSo it's been a few days and... I think mom's coming round and dad... still not too pleased. But what can you do?
Been showing Hikaru around which has been great fun, it's like seeing the place through new eyes walking around with him. It's been nice. But we both miss Kenya.
You still coming down wednesday, Ken? I think it's safe to join us! :)

Aug. 30th, 2013 12:25 pmHeading off to Tokyo soon with Hikaru. Going to see my little sis beat some other person at tennis! I'm real proud of her!
And after that we're going to my parents for a few days. Kenya has to work so it's just me and Hikaru for now.Till Kenya can get some time off and come and pick us up. This should be an interesting time. Have a few bombshells to drop on the 'rents... Wish me luck! :)
Kippei? If you get a weird phonecall from your mom about my mom... I'm apologising now in advance!

Aug. 29th, 2013 10:13 pmI was just in the bathroom. Minding my own business. I was just standing there, as we guys do, taking care of business. When I saw something out the corner of my eye.
Now, first thought was naturally that I was seeing things. Second was that maybe Hikaru or Kenya had come in because I couldn't see it clearly. So I finished up, went to wash my hands... and there it was....
IT WAS THE BIGGEST SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN AND IT WAS LOOKING AT ME WITH IT'S EYES... and I swear it had been watching me ALL THE TIME! ... And then it MOVED! ... And I am not ashamed to say I screamed a bit because IT WAS HUGE!! They have no right being that big and being in my apartment! How the HELL did it get in my bathroom?!!
I tried to kill it though... I tried to hit it with something and missed.
So now I need to move apartments. I can't live here any longer.
Sorry, Kenya. Hikaru? But we need to move. Today. Right now. I can't sleep here tonight and I can't go into that bathroom again. It's off limits. It's a biohazard, quarantine area. No one enters. Ever.
