&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last great epiphany I had was that my parents are never going to stop trying to control my life!  The unfairness of it all is that I&apos;m still dependent on them because no one will hire me not matter how many job applications I filled out since I was fifteen.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate doing dishes.  It&apos;s such a pain to stand there and wash dish after dish in burning hot water.  Yes, my family and I do not own a dishwasher LE GASP!  Of course since I&apos;m the oldest I get the most chores and I always wind up doing the dishes because if I didn&apos;t do them then we would have no dishes to eat of off.</description>

  <link>http://hiroko-loves.livejournal.com/4952.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;M GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL JUNE 21st!  YAY FOR ME!  NO MORE WHS!  But then college on Sept 4th will start I&apos;m so excited.  I have:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;English Composition&lt;br /&gt;Psychology&lt;br /&gt;Pre-Calc&lt;br /&gt;World History&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m sure I&apos;ll be fine.  The classes are about 1.5 hours just like in my high school, so I&apos;ll be already used to the time.  All I have to do is hope I don&apos;t get lost on campus...I have a horrible sense of direction...I got lost five blocks away from my house &amp;gt;.&amp;lt;  I&apos;m crazy I know.  Wish me Luck!</description>

  <title>Kitchen Four Humor 2</title>
  <link>http://hiroko-loves.livejournal.com/4634.html</link>
  <description>&lt;b&gt;Kitchen 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Super Size&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the class was making pretzels. Each pretzel was supposed to be a nice size to eat. But someone in Kitchen 4 had the bright idea to make a giant sized pretzel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Seriously who would eat something that huge,” asked Dara. Winston, Melanie and Daniella stared at her. “Right, Anthony and Kristian would.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s not going to cook fast enough like the other small ones,” commented Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not staying after class to wait for it to bake,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah,” agreed Melanie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Me either,” said Daniella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Since you two want it then you can wait for it,” said Winston, to Kristian and Anthony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No way. I gotta go to class,” said Kristian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Like the rest of us don’t,” asked Daniella. Silence. Yeah, that seemed to happen a lot disagreements in the group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gentlemen’s Club&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Where’s Kristian? He has to do the dishes,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He’s wandering again,” said Daniella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Winston go and get him,” asked Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But that’s a mad far walk,” complained Winston. Dara stared at Winston. “All right I’m going.” Suddenly a roar of laughter was heard. Dara, Daniella and Melanie groaned, those other idiot boys that hang around Kristian that distracts him, again. Don’t they have their own kitchens to attend to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Geez, they are so loud,” complained Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You’re telling me,” sighed Melanie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh shit. The teacher is going over by them,” said Winston, back already. Not accomplishing what he set out to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m going to have to break up this gentlemen’s club over here,” said the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What gentlemen,” chorused a bunch of the girls in the class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Gentlemen Haha,” laughed Daniella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah,” snorted Dara. “And I’m green.” The boys cracked up again. And from that day forward they called themselves the gentlemen’s club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gluttony&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the practical exam for the finals. The people cooking that day would let the others in class taste test their food. So over in kitchen four, the gentlemen’s club (with the unfortunate Daniella and Dara there) were complaining about being hungry. So when Winston put the funnel cake that he and Melanie made on the table, there was a mad rush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the boys nearly attacked Kristian, to get some cake. Someone actually jump over Daniella. Powered sugar was everywhere. Dara and Daniella had mortified faces on at the idiotic boys. Winston was in the kitchen laughing, while Melanie looked disturbed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You guys made a mess,” snapped Dara, who was angry for she didn’t get any funnel cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What the hell was that? I could have gotten hurt,” yelled Daniella, ready to beat up all the boys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You are freaking dumbasses. Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins,” commented Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ugh,” was Dara’s response. Her and Daniella exchanged looks. Why them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Man, that was funny,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Did you see what they did,” said Melanie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“And people think I’m crazy,” sighed Dara. Looks directed at Dara. “What? You should meet my friends; they really think I’m crazy. My sister threatened to call a mental hospital on me once.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Wow,” said Winston, stretching out the word. “you aren’t that crazy.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I think this class made me a bit more though.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fun&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Come on guys stop making fun of me,” said Melanie. Winston and Daniella were making fun of Melanie, because she loves country music and Dolly Parton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Stop bothering the freshman,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But its mad funny at the way she talks too,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Like you don’t talk funny,” asked Dara. Silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Point taken,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What is Kristian doing now,” sighed Daniella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He’s making an ass of himself,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What’s new,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But does he really needs to steal all that food,” sighed Melanie. The four sighed, yeah wonderful. Kristian better not get them in trouble.</description>

  <title>Kitchen Four Humor</title>
  <link>http://hiroko-loves.livejournal.com/4435.html</link>
  <description>&lt;c&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kitchen 4&lt;/c&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;c&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pancakes&lt;/c&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a wonderfully bright day outside, but children of all ages are in the prison known as school. In one particular high school in one of the cooking classes we take a look at the group dubbed kitchen 4. They were working hard (cough) on a new recipe for the day. In this particular group consisted of six people--- four sophomores, one freshman and one senior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the sophomores were working on the recipe, while the freshman and another sophomore did the dishes and put them away. The senior was watching them, while the last sophomore was wandering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What the hell is that,” asked the senior Dara, looking at the food. Was that actually supposed to be pancakes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not eating that,” said Winston, a sophomore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ew, gross,” said Melanie, the only freshman in the entire class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don&apos;t know what he did,” said Daniella, a sophomore and today assistant cook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’ll just blame you Kristian,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey I didn’t do this,” said Kristian. “It’s Daniella’s fault.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not the cook today,” said Daniella, ready to beat the crap out of Kristian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Geez no need to get violent,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Do you want her to hurt you too,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Okay so who’s test tasting that,” asked Kristian. Silence amongst the group. Dara sighed and picked up the thing that is supposed to be a pancake and tasted it. She chewed on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So,” asked the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is definitely not pancakes, tastes rubbery. This is disgusting,” commented Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I guess we are going to throw this stuff away,” said Daniella, taking the pancakes ready to throw them into the trash bin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“NO WAIT,” demanded the final member of the group Anthony. “I’m hungry.” He took the plate and began eating it. Dara, Winston, Melanie, and Daniella stared at him in a weird disgust, while Kristian sniggered. (He’s always laughing about something).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, not something you want to taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;c&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fire&lt;/c&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Halloween day and the cooking classes were making treats for the day. In Kitchen 4 they were making caramel apples, as the other groups made other things. Today Melanie and Winston washed and dried the dishes, while the others worked on the food. Daniella was watching them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“God, this is better be good,” said Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Not likely,” Dara sighed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh Shit,” shouted Kristian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The wax paper is on fire,” said Melanie, sounding not surprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“HOW THE HELL DOES SOMEONE SET WAX PAPER ON FIRE,” demands Dara. Daniella fortunately put it out. “Idiots.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Anthony did it,” said Daniella, pointing at the boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dear God…why us?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;c&gt;&lt;b&gt;Melted&lt;/c&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today’s recipe was some type of cookies. The cookies were in the process of baking. Kitchen four was waiting some what patiently at their table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Man, I’m hungry,” said Anthony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You’re always hungry,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don’t want to do the dishes,” complains Winston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh stop complaining,” said Daniella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s getting annoying,” said Dara. The timer went off. So, after all the cookies were eaten and Winston worked on the dishes, he yelled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“WHO DID THIS?” He was referring to the plastic spatula baked to the cookie sheet. The group pointed at Daniella who was cook today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I didn’t do it,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sure, we believe you,” said Kristian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Was that you trying to be sarcastic,” said Daniella, whacking Kristian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The bell is going to ring in a minute,” said Dara, seemingly counting down to the end of the class. The bell rang and the group left Winston to try and get the melted spatula off.</description>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cold&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wind cold and fierce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trees move along with the wind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sky is darkening&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sun disappearing behind the clouds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rain, snow, ice begin to fall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wind help whip the ice, rain and snow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;around and at unfortunate people walking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How would one wish to be near a nice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;warm fire and a dry piece of earth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, there is just ice. Cold, hard, unforgiving ice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It stings when it hits her already numb and freezing face&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She walks along to get to her destination&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;through the cold ice, the fierce wind, and the darkness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She finally arrives and is able to step into a warm place&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She greets the person she was to meet with a hug&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is no longer outside with the unforgiving&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wind and ice but in a nice safe warm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;place&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the arms of him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Not So Different Perhaps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There once a girl and her younger sisters. The girl was seventeen, while her younger sister was fifteen. They also had another younger sister who is seven, who they take care of when their parents are not around. People say that the oldest and the middle children are completely different. The oldest is smart, studious, and quiet. The middle sister is smart in her own way, not through school that is, angry, and loud. The younger sister is energetic and a bit brattish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The middle child since turning a teenager has been very angry, so angry with attitude. She thinks the world hates her and everyone makes fun of her. That causes her to be irritable and unbearable to be by, unless you have a death wish. The middle child thinks that her parents like the older one better, which is not true. She wants to be accepted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldest one has always been the same. Smart, responsible, studious and silent, unless spoken to. She is the harder one to read. While her younger sister is angry and shows how she truly feels, the older one does not. The older one is very introverted and has many masks to look behind to find the true one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The younger one doesn’t understand her sisters. One is always angry and the other one is nice, but silent. She really doesn’t understand them and she wishes she did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The middle child and the older child never argue. They are just content to be in the same house and not cause each other problems. The middle child and the younger child argue often, with the older one ignoring them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fifteen year old one day was talking with her sister at the lunch time they shared at school. It was not odd to see them together in school. The older one always watched out for the younger one. As per usual, the middle child was getting help from the older one in history. They would always hear whispers about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Woh, I never would have figured they get along seeing how different they are.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The younger one is so mean, but her older sister is nice.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The older one is creepy, she barely talks.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, it’s always the silent ones that go insane.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Nah, the younger one would go before the older one. She is always angry at someone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The middle one would get angry at the remarks, but the older one told her to ignore them. Those people however the following spoke no more about the siblings. The middle one wondered what made them stop. Oh well, she thinks, as long as they stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At home, the parents worked hard while the three sisters took care of the house the best that they could. The middle child had been getting a weird feeling around her older sister lately. The younger sister notices nothing out of the ordinary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oi, sis,” asks the middle sister to the older one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Um, did you do something to those people that were talking about us?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh okay.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So that’s what has been bothering you. I was getting worried with all those glances you were giving me,” replied her older sister. They didn’t speak any more after that. For days the three sisters and their parents remained the same nothing about their family changed. The older sister was going to be gone off to college in months time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The middle child was being teased again in school and getting angry and more unbearable to stand to be near. Yet, her older sister stood right next to her. The middle child was walking to the bus at the end of the day, when she saw her sister grabbed two of the people making fun of her out of sight. The middle child followed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Listen to me,” said the older one, with venom hidden in her words. This voice made even the angry fifteen year old shudder. “Stop teasing my sister or you’ll regret it.” She was staring them down. The one boy and one girl nodded in fear of what the girl would do to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sis what are you doing,” asked the fifteen year old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Nothing,” said the older one with coldness in her voice. Then she seemed to realize who was talking to her. “Oh sis, I was just...Let’s catch the bus ne?” The middle sister nodded. That person wasn’t her sister it could not be. The older one did not say a word the whole night. The following day, some girl came up to the two sisters at lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey, I heard your suppose to be a scary senior,” said the girl, taunting the older one. “You look like a wimp to me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“HEY,” started the middle child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No,” said the older one, pushing her sister to sit back down. The older one stood up. “Do you want to meet a demon, girly?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Uh,” said the girl, obviously scared. “I’m not scared of you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You should be,” growled the older girl. She was glaring down the girl, while her younger sister watched in some sort of amusement. Her eyes were discolored from their original color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Demon bitch,” said the girl, not knowing when enough is enough. The older sister grabbed the girl’s collar of the shirt and brought her up to her face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You should watch yourself from now on,” said the older one, with a feral smirk. People watched in horror, while the fifteen year old girl wondered if this was her true sister behind all the masks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sis,” asked the middle child at home that night. The youngest one was at a friend’s house that night. The two were quietly eating dinner. “Are you really a demon?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The older one sighed, “No, I’m as much as human as you are.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Then is that what you are really like.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Through all my masks of kindness and silence, you were the only one to figured out how I really am,” said the older one. “People say we are different, but you and me are not that much different you know.” The older girl went over and gave her sister a light hug and left the room. The middle angry child was for the first time in years scared, not of what her sister really is, but the coldness of the hug she gave. The middle sister must agree with the people, the older one and herself are different completely. She would never be someone like her sister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you really know the people around you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author’s Note: This is a conversation between four cousins. One is a boy and the other three are girls. Two of the girls are sister, while one other girl is the boy’s sister. They are the four oldest of there generation. This is based off a conversation I had with my cousins and sister on Christmas. The names are going to be Michael, Heather, Rachel, and Dara (which are the names of my cousin and myself).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conversation between Four Cousins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How’s school,” asked Heather to Rachel and Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Same old, same old,” sighed Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It sucks,” said Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How’s college Mike,” asked Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Alright I suppose,” he replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Good thing the younger ones are not here,” said Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, they can be very annoying,” said Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Reminds me of the kids in my cooking class,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t you hate them,” asked Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah,” said Dara. “So Heather how is school for you?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Alright I suppose. But my teachers are crazy,” said Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Really how so,” asked Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“My English teacher writes about what he hears through the conversations between the kids that brag about drinking and smoking. He wrote a poem about it,” sighed Heather. Mike gives a glance at his sister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That is weird,” said Rachel and Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know people are afraid of me,” said Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Really why,” asked Michael.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Because I am tall,” sighed Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I would not be afraid of you,” said Dara. “People are afraid of me too, but that’s because I give mean glares to some of them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“People are afraid of me because of my gothic ways,” said Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No one is afraid of me,” said Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No one would,” chorused the three girls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So Dara when are you getting a boyfriend,” asked Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“NEVER,” snapped Dara. “I told both of my best friends to NOT look for guys for me. I don’t want or need a boyfriend.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You probably don’t want one because the whole family will make fun of you,” said Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s part of it, but the boys in my school like slightly stupid girls,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What’s the sense in that,” said Heather. She turns to her brother, “What would you rather have a super smart girl, in the middle or stupid.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There’s middle,” he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah,” says the three girls again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I wouldn’t mind the smarter girlfriend,” said Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But you will never get one by the looks of it,” sighed Dara. “You are almost 21 and you had no girlfriend except maybe that one girl you took to the prom or the one who used like to hang out with.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Che, they weren’t my type,” said Mike. The girls eye roll. Mike gets up to go to the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey Dara, how many bras do you wear,” asked Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why,” asked Dara, getting embarrassed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Because I know some girls when they play sports have to wear a regular bra and a sports bra and their breasts still bounce,” said Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One,” said Dara, sighing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh, do they annoy you,” said Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Only when I sleep, so I have to wear a bra at night,” said Dara. Mike enters the living room from the bathroom. “Uh, I think we better stop talking about this now.” Mike raises an eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So Mike what do you prefer good butt or boobs,” asked Heather. Mike begins to redden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“They have to proportional,” said Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Proportional,” asked Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah,” said Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Look he’s getting embarrassed,” said Dara, grinning. “But seriously proportional, in what way?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don’t know,” shrugged Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Like you can not be super skinny with a big butt,” said Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Something like that,” said Mike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey what are you four talking in her so chipper about,” asked Dara and Rachel’s mom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh nothing much,” replies Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh really?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t worry about it Ma,” said Dara. “When are we going home?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In a few minutes,” said the mother, going back into the kitchen with the other adults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I like talking to you guys when the younger ones are not around,” said Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, because we can talk about things that would make them tease us about,” sighed Heather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Immature brats,” said Dara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“True that,” said Mike. The four relatives laughed and the Christmas day has been quite enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author’s Note: Another conversation but this is all my weird imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Silence&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was before homeroom around twenty minutes before eight. It was a senior homeroom, barely anybody was there. The first seat of the second to last row sat a girl staring off into space. Seated in the last row in the first desk was a boy, also staring off into space. They have sat next each other since they were freshman and barely even spoke to each other. There were other people in the room but they were half asleep or eating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Six months left,” commented the boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Huh? Oh yeah,” mumbled the girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How come you barely talk,” asked the boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Cause I don’t,” replied the girl. People asked her that a lot and that was usually her answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh really,” he said. “You come off stuck up you know that?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not stupid. I realize that,” she replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But you are quite nice. Remember we had English last year together. You let me copy your answers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ah, I tend to let people see my answers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So it’s their own fault that they don’t learn anything,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ah.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s a bit mean.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s what you get for trying to take the easy way out.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“True.” After that more people came in and greeted the boy, while they smiled at the girl. Time to fast forward to two minutes before the end of homeroom, when the girl finally spoke to the boy without him starting the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I like silence.” That was her answer. Then the bell rang.</description>

  <description>The Difficult Truths of Being a Kunoichi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Crazy Girl Of Many Names&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lives of the Kunoichi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A marriage is a legally binding contract between a man and a woman (Unless of course you live in a place that approves of same-sex marriages). Yes, marriage is a contract, get over it. Usually it is arranged, but sometimes it is purely out of love. In fact, very few countries let you marry for love. However, the rest of the world arranged marriages are frequent. Sometimes marriages in the ninja villages could prevent a war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clans, such as the Hyuugas, usually marry their children to someone of another village. It not only strengthens the bond between clans, but the village as well. Since the married couple are from two different villages, the clan heads usually decide where they stay. Say for example, Hinata is the heiress to become the next head. She would be married off to the second son of a clan, so that clan had a an heir still. The man would take the Hyuuga name and live with Hinata in the compound. But if aren’t in the heir or heiress, you wind up marrying a close relative or a distant one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For kunoichi not in a clan, but born of parents not a ninja like Sakura or an orphan like Tenten they would be sent to either stop a war or end the political strain between the two villages. Usually in this case, it would a loss for one country because then the other one gains another warrior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other clans such as the Yamanaka were they need to protect the clan techniques, they usually inter-marry within the family. Normally these types of clan have different branches in different villages. So say if Ino needed to get married to stop a war, she would marry a distant relative. Even though incest is frowned upon by the council for a village, like everything else in the world, this helps protect secrets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An kunoichi who was related to a power political leader such as Temari is related to the Kazekage Gaara. This type is used more frequent. So if she had to marry someone it be either a relative of the leader or the leader himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;The Kunoichi Special Mission is when the kunoichi passes two tests similar to the Chuunin and Jounin exams and when called upon to go on these missions. The only other requirement that the kunoichi must be a Jounin or ANBU like Anko, Shizune, Kurenai, or Yugao. Nowadays these mission are used less and less. Usually the mission is an A rank or S rank and require them to not back out. Always a solo mission, it evolves assassinations. Usually a village is hired to kill a certain male person off. The kunoichi must seduce the man then kill him. If they don’t kill the guy on time, he might overtake the kunoichi (since kunoichi or physically weaker then men in some cases) and rape her. That is one of the main reasons why these are less frequent. In fact, under the short period of time that the Yondaime Hokage was in office before the Kyuubi attack, he refused to let any of the kunoichi to take these missions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Haruno Sakura is now a seventeen year old Konoha Chuunin medic nin. She is the apprentice of the Godaime Hokage Tsunade, who is one of the Sennin. Sakura also trained under Hatake Kakashi, who is the Copy Cat ninja. Her teammates were Uchiha Sasuke, the last Uchiha, and Uzumaki Naruto, the Kyuubi container and the aspiring Hokage. Also for some time a ninja named Sai was her teammate and also was under Yamato, an ANBU who was there to help control Naruto and his demon. It’s a fine Saturday morning and she is currently with her close friends Hyuuga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino, and Yukito Tenten training because they are all entering the Jounin exams that are coming to Konoha in two months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yukito Tenten is a eighteen year old Konoha Chuunin weapons specialist. She trained under Maito Gai, the best taijutsu user in Konoha. Her teammates were Hyuuga Neji, the prodigy of the Hyuuga clan and Rock Lee, the second best taijutsu user in Konoha. She is the weapons master of Konoha and uses fire jutsu with her weapons. Her trainer now is Mitarashi Anko. Like Sakura, Tenten aspires to become a Jounin like her teammate Neji.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yamanaka Ino is a seventeen year old Konoha Chuunin who is the second best interrogator in Konoha. She trained under her father first, Yamanaka Inoichi. Her genin team was lead by Sarutobi Asuma, one of the sons of the Sandaime Hokage and one of the best Jounin in Konoha. Her teammates are Nara Shikamaru, who is the smartest person in Konoha with an IQ of over 200 and Akimichi Chouji who is a gentle giant but a formidable opponent. Ino then trained under Morino Ibiki to become one of Konoha’s interrogators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyuuga Hinata is the heiress of the Hyuuga clan and is also a Konoha Chuunin. Her genin sensei was Yuuhi Kurenai, who is the best genjutsu specialist in Konoha. Her teammates were Aburmane Shino, who is the heir to his clan and one of the best bug users in Konoha and Inuzuka Kiba (and Akamaru too) one of the best ninken users from his family. Hinata currently is training under her father, Hyuuga Hiashi so that when Hinata turns 21 that she will be able to take over the Hyuuga clan as head. Hinata is the third best Byakugan user from the Hyuuga clan with her father being first and Neji being second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, the girls were having mock Jounin exam one on one battles. Sakura was fighting Hinata and Tenten was fighting Ino. They were very intense on training when someone popped into the clearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hello, ladies,” said Sai, the previous replacement of Sasuke on Team 7. Sai is now an ANBU that protects the Hokage and is similar to an assistant. (He stopped working for Root a while ago during the Grass Country mission).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey, Sai what’s up,” asked Tenten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Uh, let’s see. Hokage-sama would like to see Sakura-san and Tenten-san in her office. And I was told to tell Hinata-san to go home to speak with her father and Miss Beautiful to go see her father as well,” said Sai, “I have to go now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The girls exchanged looks and separated in their own ways. Sakura and Tenten headed toward the Hokage Tower, while Hinata headed over to the Hyuuga compound and Ino headed to her flower shop. All four were wondering what they were needed for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;It was the same day in Suna around noon. The Godaime Kazekage Gaara was sitting in his office waiting for his elder sister and brother to show up. Gaara was least pleased at what he was about to do to his family that was so carefully places back together after Naruto beat some sense into him. Gaara sighed and rubbed his eyes, which usually helps when he knows a headache was coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Gaara, what’s matter,” asked Temari, worried for her little brother. Kankurou looked at his younger brother and knew something was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Both of you need to sit down,” sighed Gaara. And they complied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Anko, Kurenai and Yugao were sitting in the Jounin lounge in the Hokage Tower eating some lunch when Shizune walked in. Shizune looked at the other females, with a weird look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey Shizune, what’s wrong,” asked Anko.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“After Tsunade-sama talks to Sakura and Tenten she wants the four of us in her office,” said Shizune. And they all knew what that meant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;In the Hyuuga Compound in the Main House, Hyuuga Hiashi sat at his desk patiently awaiting for his eldest daughter to arrive. Hanabi and Neji sat in two of the chairs waiting for Hinata as well. Hanabi was training with Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon. Neji was training with Shino, who became one of Neji’s good friends and rivals. It’s more of a rivalry though since Shino’s bugs are extremely hard to detect even with the Byakugan and Neji’s wants to get better. Hinata entered the room and bowed before sitting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ah, since we are all here,” said Hiashi, “As you three know I picked Hinata to be the heir in a mere few years. Now, there is something I have not mentioned. Hinata has to be wed on her 18th birthday in order become head.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hiashi-sama but how does this concern Hanabi-sama and I,” asked Neji.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I was getting to that. Hanabi instead of placing you in the Branch family, I’m going to make you the new head of the Hyuuga council when you turn 16. Neji you will also be in the council to help your cousins, once Hinata becomes head that is.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hiashi-sama the rules state that a Branch family member cannot be in the council,” said Neji.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m well aware of the rule Neji,” said Hiashi, with a stern voice. “That’s why you won’t become a council member until Hinata becomes head.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What does that have to do with anything,” said Neji trailing off his question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m going to get rid of the Main and Branch families and no more separation of the family,” said Hinata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I suppose by that time Naruto would be only a few tests away from being Hokage,” said Neji, somewhat smiling. “But Hinata-sama you don’t mind having an arranged marriage.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I thought I would when I was younger. I always knew that my marriage would be arranged, but as long as I can change the family some more,” said Hinata. &lt;i&gt;Even if at one point I thought I would marry Naruto-kun because I thought I loved him. I don’t, not like Sakura-chan does anyway.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You will be meeting you betrothed tomorrow night at dinner,” said Hiashi, “All three of you are dismissed.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Back in Suna, Gaara was preparing on how he was to say this to them. Gaara racked his brain to figure out a way to say this, no matter how hard it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Gaara whatever you need to say, say it,” said Kankurou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It not any secret that Iwagakure no Sato (Earth Country) is ready to declare war on Konoha and Suna, because of a certain incident concerning one Inuzuka on border patrol accidentally killing one of Iwa ninjas and Kankurou on our border patrol,” began Gaara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey I apologized for that and so did Kiba,” complained Kankurou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well it seems that something happened again with Konoha, most likely the ANBU did something perhaps,” said Gaara, “And to stop the war, Iwa has asked for one bride from Suna and one from Konoha, a specific kunoichi.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Who’s the kunoichi from Konoha,” asked Temari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’ll don’t know,” said Gaara, closing his eyes then opening them again, “But the kunoichi to wed the second son of Iwa’s Kage is you Temari. He chose you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“WHAT,” screamed Kankurou, “DIDN’T YOU GET HIM TO RECONSIDER?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t you think I tried,” said Gaara, “But Iwa’s Kage is dead set on having Temari wed the second son.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why not the first son,” asked Temari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The first son is already married,” said Gaara, “Temari, I can’t do anything unless we want to start another war.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We can’t,” said Temari, “We are just recovering from Orochimaru’s attack and Akatsuki’s attack, we can afford another war right now! We need more time to recuperate, just like Konoha needs to and that’s was Iwa knows. I have no choice, I’ll marry the bastard’s son.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Alright, you’ll be leaving on Monday,” sighed Gaara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Understood,” said Temari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You are both dismissed,” said Gaara. Kankurou left the room a bit angry and Temari was silent as she walked out. Once they were gone, Gaara told the guards not to bother him for a few minutes. Gaara sat in his seat staring outside at the desert, sighing. Temari will soon be gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;At the Yamanaka flower shop, back in Konoha, Ino was having a fit. Now one would think that a nearly eighteen year old girl would stop the temper tantrums, but she, at this moment, has every right to be throwing a fit. Ino was not happy, obviously. But she has never been this anger before in her life, not when Sakura threw their friendship away, not when Shikamaru broke her heart to pine away for Temari, and not when Sai told her that he didn’t think that she was beautiful (But of course his opinion about that in a few months time).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO ME,” yelled Ino, that probably all of Konoha heard her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now, sweetie,” started Inoichi, sweat dropping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS,” cried Ino. “I wanted to get married for love.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But the strain between Kumo and Konoha relations have been declining lately and they requested that someone from Konoha be married to someone from Kumo,” said Inoichi, “We have a branch of the Yamanaka clan in Kumo and we thought it would be best.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have no choice right,” said Ino, calming down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Unfortunately,” said her father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’ll do it, if it’ll help Konoha,” said Ino, storming off to her room, mumbling incoherent things. When she reached her room, she collapsed on her bed and cried, something she didn’t do since she became a kunoichi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Sakura and Tenten stood waiting outside Tsunade’s office. Sakura and Tenten wondered what was going on. Shizune beckoned them to go inside. The two kunoichi noticed that Anko, Kurenai, and Yugao were there too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tsunade-sama what’s to see you two first,” said Shizune and the two went in very confused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Shizune, what’s going on,” asked Anko. Shizune looked at her friend and jsut shook her head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Inside of the office, Sakura and Tenten stood in front of the Godaime with curious eyes. Tsunade looked like she has seen better days and this wasn’t one of them. Tsunade told them to sit down, they might need to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tsunade-shishou what’s this about,” asked Sakura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As you know, Iwa isn’t on good terms with Konoha or Suna,” said Tsunade, “They, meaning the Kage has requested that Konoha send a bride for the youngest son and Suna send one for the second son, seeing as how the oldest son is married already.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Is one of us the bride,” asked Sakura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The kage picked out of all the eligible kunoichi you Sakura,” said Tsunade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What,” said Sakura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sakura, let me tell you. Someone from Suna will be there,” said Tsunade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Do you know who it is,” asked Sakura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I think the Iwakage picked Temari, but I’m not really sure,” said Tsunade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Um, Tsunade-sama why am I here then,” asked Tenten, trying not to be rude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ah, yes. Tenten, Kiri and Konoha are not seeing things eye to eye in the fishing market,” said Tsunade, “Fish is one of are most eaten foods and to gain more access to more sea water they want a kunoichi to marry the Mizukage, who isn’t a old fart just to let you know. He is the new one.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I see,” said Tenten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We don’t have a choice,” said Sakura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No you don’t. Sakura you have until Monday to get things together and say any goodbyes,” said Tsunade, “Tenten you have until Tuesday to do the same. Dismissed.” Sakura left running home to her parents, while Tenten slowly walked to her lonely apartment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Anko, Shizune, Yugao, and Kurenai walked into the office when Tenten and Sakura left. The stood before the Godaime and waited for what she had to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“First off Yugao your team have fully recovered and you need to meet them first thing in the morning,” said Tsunade, telling Yugao to leave. “As for you three, we have a trio of rouge ninja that need to be taken are of in one of the southern Fire country towns.” Tsunade handed them a folder of information. “I presume that you know what to do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes,” chorused the three adult kunoichi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Good, dismissed,” said Tsunade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End of Chapter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full Story Here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3172955/1/&quot;&gt;http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3172955/1/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <description>School started on Tuesday.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday 9/5/2006:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My bus was freaking 25 minutes late.  When I got to school I almost went to the wrong homeroom because the letter that told me where I was suppose to go, which was D25, but it was really D20.  Bastards.  Then it was class meetings that happen everyday on teh first day of school.  Broing as usual.  My schedule sucks sort of.  I have English 4 R, then Basic Foods 1 (elective), then I have A lunch, and then Precalculus R.  I have Senior study meaning I get out at one pm instead of two thrity pm.  My teachers are okay.  My classmates are jackasses as usual and extremely annoying that makes me think I&apos;m a evil chibi in my head.  Scary thoughts in this head I tell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday 3/6/2006:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My bus was 25 minutes late fucking again.  I got to homeroom, went through the eight minutes I was there.  I ran (really just walked fast) from D20, which is on the first floor to 312 which is on the third floor.  I sat threw 86 minutes of notes and boring ass reading (and I like reading). Then I ran down the stairs back to the first floor to 122, to sit threw another 86 mintues of notes and bordom.  Then a 30 mintue lunch.  Then to 86 minutes of Precalculus notes and work.  then I went to the library waiting for the bus for another hour and half.  I have either to take the bus at 2:30 or my dad picks me up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thrusday and Friday I tell you about later my mom wants to go on.</description>

  <title>NejiTen one shot for teh Fated Heaven forums</title>
  <link>http://hiroko-loves.livejournal.com/577.html</link>
  <description>Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto, or any of its characters.&lt;br /&gt;Periods, Fire, and Hair Rated T or PG13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TenTen’s alarm clock sounded for 4:30 am, to meet Neji at 5 for training. TenTen eyes slowly opened and she took out the kunai she was sleeping with to destroy the sound. She groaned not in a good mood. So, she dragged her self out of bed. Hair messy, pajamas wrinkled and then she realized the front of her pant were red with blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dammit, why now,” complained Tenten, very loudly. Her older brother threw a shoe at her to be quiet, but then her eye twitched and threw a dozen shuriken at her brother’s door, who smartly shut and locked it. Tenten was not going to have a good day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenten Went to the training grounds that she was to meet Neji at. Tenten’s eye twitched. He was late. (By only 2 minutes). Neji appeared with 2 cups of coffee in his hand. Tenten was ready to pounce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Neji, you’re LATE,” growled Tenten. Neji looked at her like she had lost her mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Um, you told me to get us coffee before training yesterday,” stated Neji, calmly. Tenten glared at him, grabbed the coffee out of his hand and drank it in one gulp. Neji stared at her in utter confusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Are we going to train or not,” mumbled Tenten. Neji nodded and thought What’s her problem?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the training, Neji received quite a few more scratches than usual and was getting glared at by his female teammate. Normally, Neji wouldn’t be bothered by the fierce attacks, but the glaring he just didn’t understand. At lunch they took a break, and Neji decided to talk to tenten about what was bothering her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tenten, you seem angry today,” stated Neji.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No really,” said Tenten, sarcastically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What’s wrong, did someone do something to you,” asked Neji, very curious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, just don’t take it out of me,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenten’s eye twitched. Neji was really getting on her nerves. Feeling a bit evil right now, and wanting to get Neji off her case. Tenten smirked and performed seals for a fire jutsu. She aimed it at Neji. Neji dodged it, but something was burning. Tenten started laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What’s so funny,” demanded Neji.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The ends of your hair are on fire,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“WHAT?” Neji patted the end of his hair which was on fire. Neji was far from angry, HE WAS PISSED OFF. No one messes with THE Hyuuga Neji’s hair and gets away with it, not even her. Neji approached Tenten who was laughing against one of the rocks in the area. He glared at her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m sorry Neji,” she said in between laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is not funny,” hissed Neji. Tenten looked up and continued to laugh. “I don’t know what your problem is, but this is MY HAIR.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Drama Queen,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tomboy psycho,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Blind Little Girl,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’M NOT A BLIND LITTLE GIRL! Women,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Men,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They continued to glare at each other, until they began to realize that this was stupid and began laughing against each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sorry,” said Tenten. Neji smiled, yes you read it right SMILED, a smile that was only meant for Tenten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Me too,” Tenten kissed Neji on the cheek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Let’s continue shall we,” said Tenten ready fro the next round of training. Neji nodded and tried very hard to hide his blush. Tenten winked at Neji and got some kunai out. Neji then followed with the Hyuuga stance. And they trained for the rest of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;END</description>
