[ooc: Begin time hop!]

Today, Michiko came up to me and asked why mama doesn't have boobs. I had to explain that it was because mama and papa are both boys. Miko seemed to take it in stride...amazing how kids can handle just about anything.

G'DAY THERE TPU !

We're back, and I guess this means that I have to figure out what to be when I grow up, ey?

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 02:49:40 GMT

G'DAY THERE PEOPLE!

You should see how tan Syuusuke is! I never thought it possible. ~~And I deny licking the tan lines every night.~~

We're loving the great barrier reef, and even put our hands on an underwater camera so that Syuusuke can photo the fish. It's gorgeous here...

...I do miss Japanese food. Barbequed shrimp is getting to me...

I can't believe I'm a teacher now.

Just like all the coaches I admired in high school ... Now that can be me!

Australia trip is coming up ♥

We need to go practice surfing, Syuusuke.

Ugh. I don't feel so well. I saw that Oshitari has a stomach flu -- I sincerely hope I haven't caught it from hanging out in their suite playing with Yuuta's playstation...

^____^

It's really nice to have an old teammate around.

It was also really nice to chat with my new little bro.

We'll have to all get together -- the whole Tachi-Fuji family and Shinji.

The thousand stories have
come round to one again
Arabian Night
our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of
darkness spring from
seeds of light

Fine, perhaps a little too much of the Grateful Dead.

Still finding crumbs in the sheets. ~~Don't tell Syuusuke, but my solution was to stick Toto on the bed and let him "vacuum." </a>~~

Hey Syuusuke -- the principal of Fudo suggested that we have a gallery night with an exhibit of sports-related photos. I thought you'd be a shoe-in for that ... Interested?

Poop happens.

I'm having an identity crisis. Could it be that I'm tired of tennis? I woke up one day and found that I didn't...want...to coach.

It's still making me shake, just to think of it. I don't know what to do.

It must be Spring because I'm thinking of summer tennis camp very nostalgically.

We should recreate one !

(ooc: Tachibana is drunk and belting this offkey from his balcony)

To all the girls I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before

To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before

The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away...

It's grey outside and
My mind wanders to the beach
Surfing life away.

Australia was
A long time ago, but I
Remember the sea.

Happy Birthday, An-chan !

(ooc: Tachibana had flowers delivered to her with cute teddy balloons.)

=_=

I can't believe how much I studied for that test, only to have it postponed. I'm simultaneously relieved and annoyed; I have more time to study, but that means I have to study more...

Hey family, wanna have a picnic this weekend, if the weather's nice?

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:43:19 GMT

I had a good birthday with you, Syuusuke.

They're off exploring the world, I know. I send them off with a wave and all my best wishes -- I'm thinking of them, and hope they do well.

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:31:44 GMT

Happy Birthday to my beautiful husband.

May you have many, many more ♥

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 23:40:46 GMT

Private to Atsushi.

Atsushi, the police say someone caught sight of him heading for a train station. Was he fighting with you? Could you contact his workplace to see what happened right before he left?

Thanks.

Private to Fuji.

There's something I've been wanting to chat with you about. I'll trap you tonight before bed.

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 17:04:41 GMT

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.

(ooc: In non-traditional fashion, here are gifties -

Fuji gets a bouquet of white roses and some extra strewn all over the bed. Champagne in the fridge.

Miss An gets a little white doggy plushie that looks like Toto.

Shinji and Kamio get traditional 7th grade heart cards.)

What does it take to be a good father?

I fear I don't have it in me. I'm a good coach, but when I go home, I can put it all away...

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:32:35 GMT

I think I like 'oyaji.' 'Otousan' is really formal. 'Papa' is cute too...

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 01:37:37 GMT

Excited. Nervous. Rinse. Repeat!

In other news, I've been playing children's songs on my guitar lately.

Why is it that every year, the Fudomine kids look younger and younger? Were we really that little when we were in junior high? I see us as almost adult in my mind's eye...
