heres a little bit of my lovely story Dan Xuan Spring:
I stood in the doorway, whose rotting wood creaked and groaned as it tried to hold me up. Water from washing our thin linen clothes skittered into the air as I waved goodbye to the rest of the cantankerous Tojima family males. Only one looked back, slightly waving his hand, as if it were a nuisance to do so, then turned back and joined in the illicit conversation.
Shaking my head for the worry that wracked my brain of what they might be up to the coming day, I turned back to the paneled floor and found the sensei’s, or teacher's sister sitting on a pad on the floor. Smoky wisps of incense coming from the ostentatious cedar holder swirled around her chestnut skin as she bowed her head.
“Mistress?” I asked quietly. “Yes?” Her eyes remained closed.
“The boys have left.”
“That’s good to know.”
“Would you like some tea? Or maybe even a small bit of sake?”
A minute grin traced her lips, and her eyes opened “Tea would be fine, thank you.”
“Kaori?” A young alto voice vibrated the air. My head was turned in the direction of the sensei, who was, by appearance, only a year or two older than me. I was timid; too shy for my own good, which resulted in my blushing in his presence, and stammering like a fool, if I could speak at all.
“Haruki.” The mistress responded, looking to her resting pad.
“If you may, could you be so kind as to come with me to the shrine?”
She sighed “I suppose. Spring, I would like that tea when I get back, please.”
I mustered a small smile “Yes, mistress.”
The sensei caught my eye and smiled, and I felt I could do no better than to look down to the creaking wood panels in response, blushing intensely.
I heard footsteps, the creaking of the dying porch, and the rice paper door being slid open and closed.
if you would like more, please ask o.O
sakkaku here. issues here as well. (we come as a combo. would you like fries and a coke with that? sorry ameros, i just had to say it). just had a big, fat, lovely conversation with my friend about apricots, crapricots, grapes, peaches, spiced peaches, and the whole darn fruitcake with a cherry in the middle (if you dont know what im talking about, please ask me o.O) it was quite entertaining. i also listened to ikari and infidelitys love sing in their 'choir'. twas quite scary. i do think that i was exposed to one 'jingle' too many.
inquiring about lost loonie. tis small, metal and canadian. please report back if found! (my coin collection isnt complete without it!!!)
i do believe that we had a jolly old time at the rich-peoples mall playing jazz music to SOLs (snazzy old ladies) of which Ameros Rithlowne and I are going to adopt so they can buy us all the cows in the world. i love that place now, its like a cross between southwest and costco. oh yeah! also, they had these lovely tables with FOOD all over them. additionally, when opening my mouth to eat a meatball, my bracket rubberband snapped and flew gracefully through the air into ameros's coffee. we had an even jollier old time over that. i think that ameros giggled himself into obilivion.
yeah...i am now going to write my jaded poem
"Jaded" (<---oh yeah)
corruption has grasped me
it gushes into my icy heart filling me with contempt;
utterly jaded
i am invisible to you
you cannot see me through this two-way mirror
whisps of mist circle my eyes as i stare into obivivion
utterly jaded
i fell off the world last when it turned
i float in a sea of barrenness
burned by the stars on one side
frozen by the shadows on the other
my eyes are tarnished with scarlet
crimson blots stain my hands
this world has driven me out
and i am utterly jaded
oh yeah!!! i managed to say utterly jaded three times!!! arent you proud of me? ^.^
uhhhhh....hmmm
as of tonight, it is my duty to get Ameros Rithlowne off his lazy buttocks and go jogging with me!!!
*giggles evilly*
i learned a new word! jaded. isnt that SOOOOO cool? im gonna use it in another one of my lovely fatallistic poems!
