My Dad came back home on Tuesday. My Mum made him, because she said the case may continue up until a few days before Christmas, or something. She said she'd try her best to be home before Christmas Eve, but I told her not to worry if she wasn't. She can't discuss the actual case, of course, but she said that it's really getting complicated.

Anyway, ( Read more... )

Being home alone is boring. Mum called last night and said there are complications with the case, so she'll be in America for another week or so again. Dad definitely doesn't want to come back yet ( Read more... )

The festival went really well. At least, I thought it did anyway. Despite our class presidents panicking over every little detail, the song turned out good. I had fun playing the piano. My Dad ended up showing up too, to film it, which I didn't notice until afterwards. Idiot decided to be loud and brash as usual, and flirted with my music teacher. ( Read more... )

So. There was no homework given tonight, because they're expecting us to give our full attention to the festival tomorrow. The English test went really well too ( Read more... )

Everyone in school seems to be rushing around and panicking this week. The festival is making people crazy. The class presidents called more practices at lunch times and after school, but I've only been going to the lunch time ones. My lessons in the Okiya are straight after school, so I can't physically be in two places at once. Another way in ( Read more... )

The school festival is coming up really quickly. I won't be at the Okiya next Saturday for lessons, because that's when it's being held.

My class is performing a song for it, and I'll be playing the accompaniment on the piano. It's kind of lucky that I already knew the song. Anyway, it's going to be interesting at least. Nanako and her fiance can't ( Read more... )

The people at my school are idiots. They chucked my bag out of the window. I spent the first part of the afternoon outside picking up all of my stuff. They emptied it first. I'm missing one of my piano books, and my phone. They might have taken them. I don't know. Ch', its stupid. The bag is broken too, so I got a new one on the way to the okiya ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned once about the Arthur Golden vs Mineko Iwasaki case. I found a video all about it today, and thought perhaps some of the patrons, apprentices, and geisha would be interested in watching it.

...They were keeping it a secret from me. I asked Nanako when I got home today if she was pregnant, and she looked shocked... then admitted that she was. I knew it. They had some stupid excuse about how it wasn't important for me to know just yet, and that they were going to tell me in a couple of weeks.

I'm... kinda going to be an Uncle.

I can't ( Read more... )

Everything seems to be getting a lot busier lately. More tests at school, more lessons at the Okiya. Not that I'm complaining though, it's a good thing to have something to do all the time. I don't get bored that way.

My cousin and her boyfriend keep visiting all the time too. When I get back from the Okiya they're always there. I like seeing them ( Read more... )
