Back from Holiday family gatherings. My Grandmother didn't seem as scary as I thought. She said she was mostly proud of me for my time at the Technical School (Duel Academy) and my hard work, but is disappointed I seem so... empty and... what was the word.

Vapid? Windy?

And that I should do something with myself and make my place in the world instead of like my mother, who defines herself through men. Or. Something. It felt kind of warm what she was saying.

... I should do something besides sitting around.

Also, Shikou, she heavily approved of you based on her background checks.

Onni, she disapproves of you heavily and calls you a womanfier.

Susan, she said you're a terrible influence.

... I think it'd be good if you did do something with yourself.

It's... Good, I guess, that you've managed to rest for a while, here. But after highschool, one usually tries to consider what they'll be doing otherwise, yes?

... Maybe you should try to find work somewhere, to fill in the gaps and keep yourself active.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... also, she approves of me? I'm flattered.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Something about you being a gentleman and from a long pure-blooded lineage...?

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... I guess in a sense, it's quite a long lineage, yes.

I'm glad that my attributes are noted, though.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

She did however note that you reminded her of the Honshu wolf her mother told her about in her youth. Which she said is an excellent thing, she mentioned. Symbol of prosperity?

So she's pretty much willing to stamp any marriages.

... But I don't want to work that much. That's why I went into Pro-Dueling.

Most of my life goals are "Keep Dueling" and marrying you.

You might not want to work much, Shiroko, and in general, I won't force you to, but I think you should consider doing some work for the sake of keeping yourself fairly active and energized.

You do seem a bit more... Lethargic, in a sense, even after you stopped using that incense. I think your mind has slowed down to a point since it doesn't have work right in front of it.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I like it being slowed down. Things don't zip by as much. And what kind of work?

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

... Your mom defines herself through men?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Yes. Or so my Grandmother says. Money and stuff. I thought I explained this.

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

I think you kinda did.

Still, uh. Yeah, you probably. Should do something other than sitting around.

What do you generally like to do?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Sitting around. Painting. Playing games. Reading. Growing flowers. And I'm liking Brunches.

I'm glad you had fun with your family.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It wasn't so much fun as watching my mom and grandmother shoot daggers at each other.

Should I become a Librarian?

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

...

What, like. Forever?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

...???

Nice to know that your grandmother has some sense, at least. I suspect I might get along with her. ...assuming she didn't decide to chew me out for some reason or another.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

She'd be dubious as to your trustworthiness because of your normal clothes. Then again, you're sort of in the clear, I think... since she thinks Shiyoko was a phase when I was at my dad's...?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

So she kinda skipped over the whole 'multiple personalities' stuff, huh?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

More... "Doesn't believe in it", but I think that's more of a generational issue...?

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

I should've been surprised, but I'm not, really.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

???

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

Half the people I know call me a womanifier or sexist.

Not to mention my middle-class background probably doesn't leave a good impression. Like I'm trying to date someone out of my league.

[blackrthanblack.livejournal.com]

Womanizer, bro.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

... You act like I mind any of this.
