Phew~!  What an exhausting Saturday.  I went to Mimi's apartment early yesterday morning and ended up breaking her computer (but I fixed it with a trip to akihabara), and ruining her kitchen!  I don't even want to talk about what happened at roppongi hills!  But at least we got to go to akihabara ;)

It's strange how her computer broke, It was working fine one moment and then I tried uploading some software to monitor the Digiworld, and her computer went hay-wired...  Gennai, would you know the cause to this strange phenomenon?

Guess what everybody!  I just balenced my checkbook, and discovered I have excess funds this month, so I might purchase a DSL modem or go for cable.  It's that prodigious!? Only, I'm not sure I'll have extra funds every month, so Tentomon might have to cut down on the infocomercial spending (gomen ne?)  But until my room is internet capable, I'm stuck searchig for WiFi where ever I can get it.  If only I had FRIENDS that would let me use their internet for times of need, that would be swell!  Not to GUILT trip my FRIENDS or anything.  I would HATE if they felt bad...  Ah, my Intro to the Galaxy and Beyond class is starting in five minutes.  I'll catch you when I catch you!

Well, I guess I owe you guys somewhat of an explanation for my non-updating self lately. And my near-disappearance from the net altogether.

Ya see... when I got into my apartment, it was hinted to me that it would be quite easy to leech wireless internet off of another tenant rather than paying for it myself. And so... I did.

Back a few weeks ago, the guy who I was leeching from moved.

So, I was left sans wireless internet. Which is quite fun.

I've been utilizing the school's wireless more than usual as a result, but I find that most of that time I have to put towards homework so I can.... make sure the assignments are a) done and b) working. (Oh, the joys of having assigmnents posted online when you can't see them from home.)

Anyways, I will try to sequester more time away from that so I can keep you guys posted. I'm hopefully having someone come and set up my own connection soon (boy, will I have fun firewalling that baby...) but in the meantime... yeah.


Oh, and happy belated birthday to Ken-san and Mimi-san, since I haven't said it here already to either of you.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.

One more year till adulthood.

At any rate, I'm going home to visit my parents this weekend. They wanted me to come down last weekend innitially, but otou-san ended up having a business conference, so we moved it to this one. I don't really mind much, part of me finds it suiting to celebrate my first week of 19 rather than my last few days of 18, but I'm probably just overanalyzing. Not that this is anything new....

So, if anyone needs me, I'll be in Odaiba.

One week until my 18th year is over. Another milestone for which I think I will be glad.

It scares me that it's going to happen, as childish as it sounds, but it's necessary to life. Worst comes to worst, I won't die. Enough people have passed this point before me and exited unscathed, huh?

School is going well. I'm really enjoying my class on fractals. Facinating stuff.

And Miyako? As much as I am glad for your thoughtfulness, I'm not sure how much I will be able to use your gift. I apologise.

Mimi, we never did agree on when I'm coming over. Is Jou still coming as well? I think Tentomon might want to come too... or at least have me drop off his gifts.

Well... there goes... all of my PIpod money (and then some!).

Tentomon, the next time you want to use my credit card, ask me first. Do you know how much the shipping and handling alone was for all of those things? Ridiculous, really!

In short, Koushirou == broke, and money is far too evil a necessity.

Now to what I've been up to, lately.

Christmas was good, I suppose. Thank you to everyone who gave (or sent) me gifts, and I hope you all like the ones I gave you.

And now... now it's a new year. 2007 already. I'm actually pretty glad it's here. 2006 really wasn't the best year for me, and there's always a chance that 2007 may be better. The fact that it's 2007 also means that I'll be 19 soon, and entering my last year of being a child, unless I adopt hobbit standards. That being said, I'm not going to evolve into SuperKoushiroumon or anything of the sort next year....

I'll miss getting my otoshidama though. ^^; (One more reason to go by hobbit standards....)

Mom's been stressing family bonding over the past week. We've been on a few nice excursions together as a family... nothing too extravagant, but nice, family time, nonetheless. Of course, that included a trip to the shrine yesterday. It seems to be more and more packed each year, doesn't it?

Of course, while she's been doing that, Tentomon's been stressing his need for the home shopping network. I think he's starting to stay up late in order to watch the late-night infomercials! I can't say I understand his obsession with it, but so long as he doesn't try to steal my credit cards again, hopefully nothing bad will become of it.

Hopefully.

At any rate, best wishes for everyone in 2007. May it be a better year than 2006.

Well, I see that we seem to have an onslaught of voice posts today. (Yes, three is an onslaught.) I'm glad to see that some of you are checking out the different features of this thing without me pointing them out. (I mean... Mimi. I never thought of all people that you'd be the first to do something on here... though I suppose it's not as much of a shock as... some other things. No offense or anything. I'm pleasantly suprised!)

Personally, though, I'll probably stay away from them for a while.

I have no problem with the idea of voice posts, it's more the formats in which one can access them. Honestly, ads annoy me, and I'm kind of... saving up for a few new "toys" at the moment. So the bonuses of a paid account really aren't high up on my priority list. Plus, you've all heard me before. You don't need voiceposts to verify that.

But yes. Kudos to all of you who are enjoying the not-really-endless features of lj. Kudos indeed

[[Real reason: Mun is muchly the wrong gender. =P (and she also hates ads and is a broke little student. >.>)]]

Well, family bonding weekend went well. There was lots of... "quality time", I can say that much.

First, the concert. Sorry I wasn't exactly sitting with the rest of you. It turns out, my parents bought tickets too, and they wanted me to sit with them. I had a nice view from where I was though, all the dancing seemed to be quite well performed. Your solo looked quite nice, Hikari, though I'm a little curious why you seemed to look... unhappy during part of it. If you missed a step, I couldn't really tell.

If you haven't already read, Tentomon says he's sad he didn't come. I think he wants a special viewing area set up for the digimon next time.

Anyways, yesterday was the great coat hunt. I'm happy to say that I did find one. I suppose that most of you can probably guess what colour it is without my even saying anything. It's a lot warmer than my other coat, so I'm happy with it. (And even more happy that I didn't have to pay for it... I still have some Christmas shopping to do!)

It's good to be home though. Tentomon seems to agree (from his spot in front of the television).

On an unrelated note, what all is going on at the hospital on Christmas Eve? I mean... somehow I doubt that we're renting out a room and throwing a party, exactly. Do we need to bring anything with us?

Life is continuing. I can say that much about it.

I think I'm coming down with a slight cold. Something tells me this is what I get for having outgrown my winter coat and not having ample time to search for a new one. I... really need to get on that.

My parents want me to stay down for the weekend, since I'm already coming for Hikari's concert. I guess that means I'll be in the area, if anyone wants to do anything (though, knowing my mom, at least part of the time will be sanctionned as "family bonding" or something of the sort).

There's three and a half weeks (give or take) left until New Year's. It's coming up far too quickly, wouldn't you say? And not long after that, I'll be 19. It seems a little scary in a way, like life is going too fast. But I suppose that's the way life is, sometimes.

And Ken, whenever you're free, I still think that we should talk a few things over.
