Oi, Echizen. Wanna come over tomorrow after practice? The monsters want us to have a water fight with them and the neighborhood kids.

Someone needs to turn off the sun. I don't care if it's impossible. 'Least tennis practice is still fun when I don't wanna pass out in the middle of the court.

An' our air conditioner broke, so my mom needs to go get a new one. Gah, I think I'm gonna die before she can do that, though.

[ooc: strike gone. :D;]

I don't really know what to say in this thing, right now, so I'm gonna ask for one thing.

I want comments! Anythin' at all, I don't mind. Conversations are more than welcome. I want somethin' to keep me entertained while trying not to melt from the heat.

It's my birthday, it's my birthday~

Gah. Damnit, I'll get you back for that, Echizen! Same to you, Eiji-senpai! S'not fair that you both got me at the same time.

At least the courts are clean and playable again. Heh. It'd be really nice if the weather would cool off a bit, though. I know, I know, I complain 'bout this every summer, but hey. Ah, well, at least tennis is still fun... even if I have to wash my uniform every night 'cause of sweat.

I'm really lookin' forward to playing against Yamabuki, though. They're always one of the best teams to play against. ^_^ I haven't seen you on the street courts lately at all, Lucky Sengoku-san~ Been busy doin' things? You still owe me a rematch from the last time, 'member.

Bah! Mother looming over my shoulder. D:

My mom was okay with me not comin' home to be with the monsters yesterday, though I could tell she was a little annoyed with me until I told her Echizen was sick. She then proceeded to bring along some food before she headed out (and Ponta, though he shouldn't drink it when he's tryin' to get better). I guess that's what happens when your mom believes that she has a third son. Heh.

In any case, rest as much as you can. <3

I talked with Mamushi, and I think I mostly have somethin' drawn up for practice on Saturday when everyone's gone. S'been a while since we've done this, but we'll be just fine. The club is in good hands, Tezuka-buchou. ^_^

What 'bout the second years, though, Seigaku? :/ We like trips, too, y'know.

I signed up for basketball for the the athletics festival on the 28th, and I don't mind representin' the tennis club on the 29th if others haven't already volunteered themselves.

[ooc: small screened to Ryoma.]

Man, I really dropped off the face of the earth with this journal. I didn't realize the last time I updated was back in the beginning of April! I suck at these things, it seems. I shall become better, though. Someone kick my ass if I don't update within two weeks after this one, 'kay? Heh.

...Then again, s'not like my life is all that interestin' that you guys wanna read about it all the time. Most of you already know, anyway, so what's the point? Ah, well~

Life is so good, right now, that I could do a boogie. I'll, um, spare you a visual, but hey. Amazingly enough, I haven't even gotten a lot of homework... I think the teachers are as frustrated with this sudden heat as the rest of us are, heh. If I didn't love tennis so much, I'd be doin' everything I could to just sit in front of an air conditioner every day.

Remember how I was complainin' last year that the air conditioner in my room broke? Well, dad just got 'round to gettin' me a new one! I'm not supposed to leave it on as I sleep, but it just gets so hot at night. I can't even sleep with any blankets on or else I melt. There is no point in trying to put gel in my hair, either; it just turns to... yuck come afternoon tennis practice. My hair's floppy, but it's a nice change, I guess.

Summer, I love you, but tone down the heat a little, please. It's not even August, yet! ;_;

( Echizen )

Heh. Thanks for comin' with us, Marui-senpai. It was fun. ^_^ I have a feeling you could beat both of us in an eating contest, though, as much as I don't wanna admit that.

So~ Second day of school in the second year finished, and man, do I ever want spring break back again. 'Least we got the health check outta the way - nothin' wrong with me! <3 Well... kinda, at least. The nurse is a little worried 'bout my eyes; she says it's not somethin' to worry 'bout right away, but there's a good possibility that I'll need glasses when I'm older. I dunno how I feel about that, but my mom seems to think it'd make me look smart.

I've also gained over two inches since last year's check. >D Score!

Next time you owe me burgers, Ryo Echizen. >D Fair's fair, after all~

I can't believe school's startin' so soon already. D: I guess I am kinda excited to not be a first year anymore, but... homework. Lots and lots of homework. Homework makes Momo-chans cry. Maybe I'll be lucky this year and we won't get a whole lot of it at once? Heh. The second year course schedule is much better, after all... guess we'll see.

Uh. I'm kinda hungry. Wonder f'my mom stocked up on the snacks~

[ooc: ...er, I dunno what happened, Ali, but apparently Ryoma owes Momo burgers, now. XD; Strike gone~]

I guess today's the day that Lucky Sengoku-san's gonna be our fukubuchou, huh? Hope you enjoy our practice, and good luck to Oishi-senpai, too, with goin' to Yamabuki.

*_* It was a real close match, but I won 'gainst Kaidou. Heh. I'm lookin' forward to seein' the first line up of the season. Any idea when you're gonna let us know what that is, Tezuka-buchou? Oishi-senpai? I'm anxious for the first tournament of the year even if it is only against Kakinoki, and they never pose much of a challenge.

Tomorrow, brat - we'll go get those burgers that I owe you. ^_^ Be a little nice to my wallet? Please~? <3

[ooc: Since we don't have a Kaidou, Momo decided that he wanted to win the match, if that's okay with you, partner. XD; Though, I'm thinking it was definitely a 7-5 game, and they would've been completely equal throughout the whole game.]

Okay, what the hell. Somebody has ran away with all of my underwear and I want 'em back. How the hell can I go to practice like this? Ugh, braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. You better fess up, whoever stole them, or I'm gonna be forced to take action.

( Private )

Oh, spring break, how I love you. I'm officially a second year now~ We still have practice everyday, but Tezuka-buchou wouldn't hear of anythin' else. We almost have the team back together, though - hurry up and get your scrawny ass to the high school, Echizen, so we can all practice 'gain. Eiji-senpai's anxious.

Sweet, sweet free time~ Sorta, at least. Better get headin' to Echizen's now.

Unlike most people, I actually like Valentine's Day. ^_^ I don't mind the girls, so much, really - they're mostly harmless. I'm just glad nothin' special is bein' planned for us... if we were like Hyoutei, I think I would then have to feign sickness that day.

Great excuse to receive delicious handmade chocolates, though! <3 Even if I won't be accepting any dates, this year.

Um~ Eiji-senpai was sayin' he wants to take us out for burgers soon, Echizen. He misses his "Ochibi" - or so he says, anyway, heh. Shall we empty his wallet like the good kouhai we are?

[ooc: small screened to Ryoma.]

Aw, crap, I'm gonna be late.

Huh. Ry Echizen told me to get one of these, so here I am. <3 I think the brat did it on purpose so he could tease over the internet. Not quite sure what to do with this, yet, but the commentin' is fun. I see there's a lot of Hyoutei here... all of the regulars, maybe?

Life is great, though! I'm rockin' high school, and tennis is great, as always. Not really anythin' to update on that. I'm tryin' to convince Eiji-senpai to get one of these, too; he seems like the type of person who would enjoy it. He's thinkin' about it, but wants to ask Oishi-senpai to make one, too, first. Go figure.

I win in creativity~

[ooc: XD; Momo's refering to the horrible pun of his username in that last line there.]
