Be aware that a halo has to fall only a few inches to be a noose. – Dan McKinnon

Nothing new to report. I like it this way. It's actually quiet.

[Private]

Shuichi is back to sharing my bed, Tatsuha hates my guts, and my father desires to see me. Are things back to normal, then? Yes, I believe so.

I'm just not certain that's a good thing yet.

[/Private]

Tohma, you and I are going to need to have another little chat soon. Call me.

[Private for Mika]

Sorry, babe, but Tohma's not budging. Your insecurities are ill-placed. Just forget about it.

[/Private]

Everytime I go to the apartment, Shuichi's not there. But everytime I am not, he seems to be there waiting for me to come home. Fate needs a stern kick in the ass. Just let things go my way for once, okay? I'm fucking tired.

Tohma, I need to talk to you. Could you stop by sometime this week?

I've started another novel to take my mind off of recent events. Quite a bit different than my usual, but perhaps I needed a change. Maybe I just really need to change.


[Private]

Shuichi's looking for me. I honestly don't know why. He seems rather content with his new lady friend.

But I guess I really don't have room to talk, do I?

The bachelor lifestyle is starting to get to me.

Shuichi? Give me a call. I promise I'll answer my phone this time.

Nothing new to report.

You'd think more people would be bothering me. It's kind of quiet around here without Mika, Seguchi, Tatsuha, Yoshiki, and the brat around to bother me. Speaking of the brat, I don't know where he went. He's just been weird. We got back together, then he just up and left again. For once I'm trying to keep a stable relationship, but the other party just won't commit. Odd, but I suppose this is life's way of telling me that I'm to be alone forever.

Whatever.

I'm back with the brat. Yeah, Ichi's ancient history now. Mika called me the other day and told me he's engaged already. For being as upset as he was, it sure didn't take him long.

**Private**

And then Mika told me my idiot brother is in the nut house. No surprise there. I was just couting the days until they threw him in there. I guess I should feel obligated to go and see him at some point. He'd probably like the company. Not that Yoshiki isn't there 24/7 and I really don't want to see her. Just looking at her annoys me, but that should be a given.

Hn. This is ridiculous.

**Private**

A few things, I guess. First, Ichirou's being blackmailed. That pisses me off, but what's more, he's being blackmailed into breaking up Mika and her new boytoy. If this is Seguchi doing all of this, I'll kill him. He's the only one I know that would do something that stupid and manage to get away with it.

Second, the stupid brat. I like him more when I'm with someone else, obviously. I don't know why I keep offering to help him. Perhaps stupidity is contagious.

Things have been quiet lately. It's nice. I like things that way. No unexpected visits from anyone at all. Mika called once to tell me how stupid Tatsuha is. Apparantly she thinks I don't notice things. I may be condemning myself to the whole family deciding to have a reunion at my apartment as I type this, but I guess it can't be helped.

**Private**
Apparantly someone wants to blackmail me if Mika and her boyfriend don't break up. That's pretty damn low, even for Seguchi. I doubt it's him. I don't know why anyone would want to break them up unless they're obsessed with either Mika or that boyfriend of hers. Must be him. Mika's not pretty enough to have stalkers anyway.

Seguchi, if you have the urge to call me, don't. I don't want to talk to you. The same goes for the rest of you.

**Private**
So we broke up. Can't say I'm surprised. He was a prude anyway.
