Ohmygosh!
I am so sorry, poor neglected journal! I can't believe I haven't been around to update in so long! I've had so much to say, and yet, I've been so excited and busy, I haven't had time to say it.

I do want to say, first and foremost! Congratulations, Saki!, she got an A+ on her last essay she wrote for class. She made me help her, drag her to the library and such to do research on Optical Illusions, for Science Project Day or something like that. Oh! We got to look at these cool books with things that looked like they moved but didn't and it was so neat! Saki did an excellent job at it! [She actually read the whole pyschology book that we borrowed from the library. Saki was telling me about schizophrenia and stuff, and she's just soooooooo smart. I love her so much! <3]

Anyway, I've had a great time going in and out of relationships lately. I had dinner with that one guy, Alex, and we kinda hit it off. Of course, we all know about Shuichi, Yuki, Alex and I's little double date to the circus, don't we? [It was this super cool adult circus with all these acrobats and contortionists. We had to dress up and do mime makeup and seeing Yuki in black latex, white face makeup, and some garters was absolutely hilarious! Of course, Shuichi didn't get most of the jokes the clowns made, but Alex and I giggled along the entire time.] So, I'm dating Alex. Have been since the circus dealy, when we said we'd see how it went. And right now, man, it goes. But enough about these silly love songs...

I cannot wait to start up work again. I've been playing keyboards lately in the kitchen out of boredom. Saki's been driven absolutely nuts by it, but I can't help it. I need to ... play. I need to do something soon. Ryuichi, Tohma, please tell me you also have ideas? I don't want to be left in the dark like last time [which I will get you for, both of you]. Let's meet up sometime soon to discuss work, please please please please?

Oh, and Mika, let's have lunch next Tuesday? I think Schuichi's sister, Maiko, can watch the twins if need be. They're getting so old so quickly! I can hardly believe it!
