Hirakoba Rin

Today I got a very nice rejection phone call for a job at Hooters in Tokyo on the basis that I'm a male.

I never applied for the job but I find myself a little bit insulted all the same.

Zaizen-kun, I'm fairly sure you were the one responsible for sending them a photo of me in a photoshopped pair of very short shorts and a bra. I don't want to know when you took a photo of me naked, but it was a very flattering photo you chose, thank you.

In return, here is a photo of you that I found on my phone. I think you look quite handsome in it.

 The result of the tournament was a little disappointed. Expected, but still disappointing. My wrist is fine though which is nice, even though I pushed it in a few matches.

I've been going swimming quite a bit more lately and enjoying heated indoor pools. They're not as nice as the ocean, but they're passable and it's nice during winter. I got tired of using a bucket to cart warm water from my shower to fill my inflatable pool quite a while ago, and I've been missing it. It's nice having the extra space in my room with it packed away, but...

I think I'll spend the rest of the day cleaning my fish tank. I've been looking at new tank decorations as well, to make it a bit different. I haven't really changed them since I set the tank up here when I moved in.

It's been a very busy few days since coming back and I'm looking forward to the routine of starting classes again.  It's been a very eventful new year so far, I'm hoping it settles down a little bit soon.

Matsuoka-kun, we should go swimming together again some time, it was very fun.

I'm getting a bit tired of living on soup and pizza. Any recommendations for good winter meals that aren't too difficult to make?

It's not too far from the new year now. I'm happy to be back home for the end of the year and spending time with my family. My sister's back as well and it's been nice to hang out with her. I feel like we get along better now as we're both getting older.

I'm probably heading over to Shujiro Castle tomorrow and meeting up with some friends from school which will be fun. I'm enjoying the warmer weather and not having to wear such bulky layers all the time.

This has been an... interesting year. Certainly a lot of things happened in the last part of it, it was much more lively than 2014 was, anyway.

I don't really like making resolutions, because I never keep them. But I suppose I should work hard in what's approaching to be my last year at university and... maybe stop eating so much pizza.

Happy new year.

I went to the mall today for some shopping and I stopped by the santa set up. I saw quite an amusing elf there and took some very nice photos from a distance. The children all looked like they were having a good time.

Perhaps next time I'll stop by myself and tell Santa what I want for Christmas. I should fit on their lap and not be too heavy.

I had an interesting start to the week that I have some mixed feelings on. Thank you, Zaizen-kun, for letting me stay over so much lately. Things will sort themselves out hopefully soon and I can stop invading your room so much.

I got motivated this morning to call my sister and catch up with her. It's been a while since we've talked properly with each other, what with both of us being busy with university and living apart. Our mother tells her more than she tells me, so I got a long update on my family as well.

She asked me about my plans for New Years and I have no idea -- what is everyone else planning on doing? Eishirou, are you going back home for New Years?

... And I think I've been eating too much pizza lately. I've gained weight.

What an interesting start to the week and the end of an also, very interesting week in general. I'm glad it's a public holiday. I'm not really looking forward to exams, but I should be fine.

In case anyone else isn't aware, by the way, my name is Hirakoba Rin. Please don't address me by my given name, unless you're Eishirou.

Zaizen-kun, when's your last exam? Do you want to go out to dinner after?

I'm having a small party for Yamazaki-kun for his birthday that was a few weeks ago and he didn't celebrate.

It will be at the Murasaki Rooms on Tuesday afternoon. Everyone is welcome to come, as long as they bring some kind of present. Cake will be provided.

Comment below if you want to come. It's all rather last minute, but it should be fun regardless.


Oh, and the theme for the party is under the sea. Should be fairly easy.

Ah.... I was planning on going back home for a bit for Silver week, but my parents decided to go on a holiday instead. And I'd just bought an automatic fish feeder to cover me for the trip.

They sent me a large box of snacks though, as a sort of apology, since they knew I was looking forward to a trip home. So that's something.


If anyone is interested in an automatic timed fish feeder, lightly used, let me know.
