Blame school. We're in the middle of the term and it's like the teachers are pounding us with homework. I guess they figure Spring is around the corner and when that comes, we won't want to do anything. They're right. But that means they're trying to stuff a bunch of information and all such in our heads now.

But, I did take a break Saturday to ( Read more... )

An Ode to Clogged Journals

When it comes to writing bad poetry
Piper and I were bad you see
For in other journals we did goAnd put on our very own poetry show ( Read more... )

While it isn't always delightful to be stuck with my younger brothers, I had to admit, Sunday was a lot of fun. Of course, having Piperthere helped a great deal in making sure it was fun. It's hard to have a bad time when I'm with her, you know? Not that I strive to have a bad time, don't get me wrong, but.. well, you know what I mean.

We took ( Read more... )

Brolli gave me this CD today that I'm going to have to fight to keep out of my mother and Piper's hands. Both of them seem to like it. I have the feeling it's going to end up being "house property" not exactly belonging to any of us, yet belonging to all of us.

It had the effect on me Brolli hoped it would. It's inspired me. I want to be that ( Read more... )

We on the red team gave it our best shot, but it looks as if that wasn't good enough. We lost. Mom and Piper made cinnamon french toast for me for breakfast this morning, I'm sure the "consolation prize." Mom was worried about me, and I think Piper was too. I was brooding on this a little hard, I admit it. But I just didn't want to say ( Read more... )

It's so nice here right now, sitting in the sunshine in just jeans and a t-shirt. Piper is checking out one of the stores, I'm sitting on one of the benches and since I brought my laptop, I figured I'd update.

Well, looks like Red has a lot better chance of winning this war, now that Gokou seems to be less interested in training and more ( Read more... )

I should have known those blues were clever! We've still got two guys in jail and it looks like our hopes of breaking them free are pretty scarce. Yet, they managed to get their man Tapion out of jail. Perhaps we need to move Pan from the jailer position. It was too easy to fool her. Hmmmm.

This afternoon, I joined Piper at the mall so she ( Read more... )

No Mom, it's not your imagination, we are getting whacked this year with snow! Dad and I have been taking turns taking care of the snow and bringing Daikon and BB out to help too. Well, not that they're a lot of help, but they love to play with those tiny kid shovels they have. Poor Daikon tried to do the "catching snowflake" thing, but there ( Read more... )

Idiot boy straightend it out, finally. And managed to do something right.

It's been a weirdly wonderful day. First the losing. I know, it was just a snowball fitght, but I found out that I really didn't want to lose. And game or not, we tried so hard.

Then my reaction to Piper's chocolate. (Which, by the way, is wonderful) and realizing what a ( Read more... )

What a morning.

The snowball war has come to an end, with a crushing defeat of us greens by the oranges. It stopped being as much of a game this morning when Piper started using her magic. You know, I never thought about the energy magic takes. I mean, I've seen her use magic before, but never for too long and never with the force she did ( Read more... )
