Changing the View

November 4th

Most of the time I have at least something noteworthy to write about. I mean, I have so many things happen to me that if I ever felt like writing down my life story I'm sure I could fill up this book ten times over. I woke up, and got dressed in my 'normal' clothing for while Mom is here. It was early and I actually went out with Akane while she went out for her morning jogging. I took Yuki with me because I was told yesterday by the vet I should take her out for exercise simply by walking her and doing that kind of stuff. She had no problem keeping up with me and Akane during the entire time. Both of us talked just about random things as we went down her normal route. She seemed really interested in why I still continue to pretend around my Mom. I always tell her the same thing though, it's because I don't want to let her down, but every once and a while she still asks me that question.

We got back home a while before breakfast and I quickly took a bath while at the same time dodging Moms invitation to bathe with her. After that breakfast happened. Nothing interesting happened there at all. With pops gone it was still me between Akane and Ryoga while Mom sat next to Nabiki. Kasumi sat at one end of the table while Soun sat at the other.

I had missed the normal time Ryoga and I spar in the morning, but since I had already bathed once today I really didn't feel like having to deal with it again so I just told him I'd just work twice as hard tomorrow. This is basically an excuse to get out of it today and put it off till tomorrow. There was really nothing else to do though so we watched television for a couple hours. I normally don't even watch television that much but for some reason there will be a time where I end up watching it for hours at a time for days in a row. A bad habit of mine I suppose, though it's not like I only watch television. I think that would get extremely boring after a while.

Lunch came and passed like it does everyday. It's much less organized then the other two meals; it's more of a come and go thing.

Around three it started to rain outside which was odd because this morning there wasn't a cloud in the sky, but I guess the weather is like that. It always seems to change on me when I least expect it especially if I'm outside.

The sun sets really early at this time of the year. It's almost annoying how short the days can get, and the sad part is the days only will continue to get shorter until late December. By the time we ate dinner it was dark outside and oddly enough it was still raining.

For the most of the night we just stayed in and played some weird board games with Akane and read some comics and all that kind of stuff. We also went over some of the school stuff we had in order to refresh ourselves on what we had to know. Of course this was all and idea from Akane. Ryoga actually commented on some stuff and it seems like he's actually pretty smart about math and history. His english actually isn't bad at all for a seventeen year old. I asked him where he learned all that he knows and he just told me he had picked it up in his travels. Apparently he self teaches himself anything that he thinks a normal person of his age would be learning in school. I was actually quite impressed with this and apparently so was Mom. She then commented that since Ryoga was living here now it would be a great idea if he went to school with Akane and me. While I don't think that's a bad idea as a whole I can't help but remember the last time we both went to the same school. In the end he actually agreed that it would be a good idea to start going to school once it was actually repaired again.

Eventually time passed and everyone else pretty much went to bed. It ended up being just Ryoga, Mom, and I left awake and downstairs. We had been playing some board game that neither of us was very good at while at the same time talking about our time back in middle school. Of course we were both being careful not to say the name of the school and to leave out any details that might tip Mom off and make her think anything suspicious. She commented on how 'cute it was' that I had 'such a good' friend like Ryoga for so long.

Mom then went upstairs and I decided to follow her. We never did finish the board game but we were both very bad at it so I doubt it would have been finished any time soon.

So yeah, while nothing really interesting happened, nothing even especially noteworthy happened; it was still a good day. If more days were like this I think my life would be so much better. Though actually my life has become much calmer the past month or so which I believe is a great thing. It's allowed me to get on track with things and sort things out.
I stayed up way too late today.

Ohhh snap.

Anyway, read and review. Ya know, the usual.
