3:41 pm	Tomorrow's The Day I have this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I've had a feeling like this ever since the trip was announced. It's...hard to describe. Like something's crawling in my stomach, and there's a layer of mucus in my throat (I know it sounds nasty...) to make sure the crawly doesn't get out of my stomach. It's as if I'm choked up, about to cry, sobs and all. I even kind of feeling like throwing up, too... Days ago the trip seemed as if it would be great. As if something big and good will happen. But now...it actually seemed like something major and bad will happen. When I told my Dad, he laughed and told me not to worry. I'm trying not to worry, I really am, but this feeling in my stomach and throat is just too much. Hold on, let me get a glass of water. Hopefully, that will calm my nerves down a little. ... Sorry for taking so long. I overheard my parents arguing again. This time, it was about the trip that I have such a funny feeling about. Well, atleast I think they were talking about the schooltrip. Something about vacationing, and not having enough money for it. ...Okay, so maybe they weren't talking about the schooltrip, but, still.... I really hope that nothing really bad is going on with the two of them. They've both been very tense the past week. My Dad's been talking bitterly non-stop about not getting that promotion that he deserved, and my Mom talks sourly every chance she gets about how Dad has been lazing around ever since he was turned down for the promotion. He still has his regular, every day job, which he goes to everyday (what else would he go so early in the morning to, but work?), though, so I don't understand at all. Money isn't that much of an issue here, is it? It wasn't a couple weeks ago, before my Dad tried out for the promotion, so why all the arguments between them now? It was just a promotion, right? Our lives don't depend on it, do they? ...There has to be something at the bottom of it all...it can't just be all about money, can it? ...Wow, that really got a lot of things off of my chest! ^_^ I feel a whole lot better now, believe it or not, all thanks to this LiveJournal of mine. Can't believe that pouring your troubles all over the internet actually works to relieve stress. After typing all that, and drinking some water, I feel almost perfect. Just an odd, little feeling in my stomach, that's all, but I think it's just simple anxiety for the trip. Oh, wait! Look at the time! I've got to go pack, everyone!! Hopefully I'll remember just about everything that I need to pack for the trip... Manga, toothbrush, toothpaste, washcloth, notebook... See you all tomorrow, Class-B! Sweet dreams, and may the trip tomorrow be the best schooltrip of our lives! ^_^ (10 Comments |Comment on this)

7:53 pm	The Excitement Has No Bounds Hey everyone. It's me, Yuichiro again (who else would it be?). The trip comes closer with everyday. And I am SO excited. Gosh...I even made myself a schedule without realizing it. Of course, the schedule is interchangable, and there's really no designated times for any of the events (except for the Bus Ride, of course). 1. Bus Ride. Sitting next to Kanai (sorry, anyone who wanted me to sit with them!). I'm bringing along Cafe Occult Volume 1 (haven't read it yet, so don't spoil me on it!), Naruto Volume 1, Saiyuki Volume 1, Gyo Volumes 1 & 2 (a complete set...the story's supposed to be really horrorific; something about walking fish, and monster machines...don't spoil me, I havent' read it yet), and Hellsing Volumes 1 through 3. And, of course, my notebook for drawing. Tanizawa, you can see some of my drawings, fine...but be warned that your eyes may bleed! I'm not going to pass my notebook around, so if anyone out there really wants to look at my artwork, then you'll have to walk over to me and Kanai. I'm planning on passing my Hellsing volumes to Inada. Hopefully, no one steals them, or decides to destroy them while they're being passed around to Inada. My cousin ripped up a lot of pages in Volume 2...I had to tape them all together myself! So, please, if the Hellsing volumes come your way, just pass them along until they get to Inada, alright? 2. Baseball with Tada. Tada's going to be providing the baseballs and bats. Hopefully, I'll play well. I know the games are only for fun, but it's still embarassing when I can't catch a thing. I can hit and pitch pretty well, but when it comes to catching, I just...can't. Probably because I'm so short. If I was tall like Shuuya, or Sugimura...nevermind. It's all just for fun, and since it's only going to be me and Tada, it doesn't matter to much if I lose horribly. 3. Volleyball with Tanizawa, Utsumi, Shuuya, Nakagawa, Kanai, and whomever else plans on playing with us. I hope I will play well. My parents say that I wasn't one built for sports, and athletics. I'm built for other things...I don't really know what, really. Built for mathematics, random academical achievements, making artwork? I don't really know...I'd rather be built for athletic stuff, like Shuuya, Mimura, and Sugimura. Nevermind, it doesn't matter, anyway. Afterall, it's all fun and games, right? 4. Yuichiro alone time. I'm going to draw in my notebook, and read manga. If anyone wants to talk to me, read manga with me, or damage their eyes by looking at my drawings, then feel free to. It doesn't really matter. As I said before, the schedule is completely interchangable. So, feel free to talk to me, or "hang out". Whatever you'd like to call it. ^_^ 5. Wander aimlessly. Pathetic, I know, but I'm just going to wander most of the time. There's not really that much for me to do. So, I'm going to wander aimlessly. I have a feeling that it's during the time that I'm just wandering around that something really amazing happens. This trip is going to be so great, I know it. Hey, maybe the amazing thing that happens is that I beat Mimura in a game of basketball, or I beat Motobuchi in a game of chess! That'd be awesome, but neither will happen. Maybe while I'm wandering around, I'll be able to get to know people better. Afterall, I'm not the most popular kid in class. There's a lot of people I don't really know too well. Maybe I'll go and talk to that transfer Kawada. I heard he went to jail for killing someone when he was younger, and now has to go and repeat the 9th grade because of his time in jail and all. I think that the rumors aren't true, although Kawada does look a little intimidating... Oh...my parents are yelling downstairs. Probably about me. They spend a lot of money on me. I think that they spend a little too much money on me. Sometimes I think I'm really spoiled. Who else but my parents would spend a whole lot of yen on manga for their son? Then again, I'm an only child, so that may also be part of the reason why they spend so much money on me. Oh, wait, they're not yelling about me (phew...). They're yelling about my father's promotion. Unfortunately, he didn't get it. From what I can hear, some intern got really cozy (I have a feeling that the intern did something nasty) with my father's boss, and then she got promoted instead of my father. Father's been bouncing from job to job, it's a little sad. If it weren't for my mother, then I know that we'd be poor, or worse swimming in debt. ...It's not too much of a problem, really, as long as Mother still earns her salary. ^_^ Hey! I just looked over at my backpack and noticed something VERY strange. WHO STOLE MY ROY MUSTANG KEYCHAIN?! It's not nice at all to take things from people. Whoever took it, please slip it into my locker, or slip it into my backpack while I'm not looking. You don't know how much that keychain means to me. I know this may sound a little stupid, but it was a present from my parents, and it means a lot to me, since they gave it to me when -- oh nevermind. I'm not going to delve too deeply into things. Please give the keychain back!!! Thanks in advance! (14 Comments |Comment on this)

10:08 pm	Excitement Man, you guys don't know how excited I am for the trip! I don't care if it might turn out to be boring...I just feel that something really BIG is going to happen on the trip. Something really exciting, something surprising. Darn it, I just can't wait for the trip! But, I don't really know who I'm going to sit next to. Tada's gonna sit next to his girlfriend Megumi, and everyone else has their buddies more or less (keyword: more or less). Oh well, this is what I get for having most of my friends in the other classes. *sigh* I'll probably end up sitting next to Akamatsu, or something. He's actually not as bad as a lot of people think. Actually helped me out on a video game I was having a ton of trouble with, so he's a pretty nice guy. If Akamatsu has already planned to sit next to someone (no offense to him, but I don't think a lot of people are really interested in sitting next to him, or NEAR him, for that matter) then I'm pratically royally messed. Anyone here want to have a seat next to good ol' Yuichiro Takiguchi? I promise I won't bite! ^_^ In other news, how many of you all are done packing? I am, basically...I've only got my seat to worry about. (12 Comments |Comment on this)

5:54 pm	What To Bring... Hello everyone, from Yuichiro Takiguchi. Yeah, that "otaku kid in the back of the class". And that kid that I see noone ever talks about, ever. Good thing, or bad, I dunno. Oh well. Yesterday, I ordered some Gundam Model Kits to add to my growing collection! Awesome, right? I lost one of my graphic novels, though, which is REALLY bad. I lost Ragnarok Volume 10! Terrible, terrible...I didn't even get to read it, yet. I wanted to read it on the trip, too...darn that stinks so bad. Hmph. I think I'm just going to bring my notebook and draw on the trip. Or, maybe I should bring my Hellsing Volumes 1 through five? Or, maybe my Ranma 1/2 Volumes 20 and 21... Or, should I bring my complete Gundam: The Last Outpost set of volumes (three volumes...a complete set)? I'd bring everything I listed, but I don't want to lose anything. I already lost Ragnarok Volume 10, afterall. So, you guys decide...what should I bring?? (7 Comments |Comment on this)
