I actually think Motsu and Shiroko are REALLY nasty.  x_o; But for some really strange reason, anything that Kozo serves me tastes really good.  He has some magic powers or something.

Caol Uno asked me to help him model his new Spring\/summer clothing line. \ud83d\ude00  So Katsumura-san allowed us to use his Ground Slam gym.  I&#8217;m gonna be in his catalogue!  What an honor!  They were like, &#8220;Look meaner!&#8221;  DUDE I CAN NOT. @_@; Why does everybody say that? Looking mean is not my thing.  Smirking playfully or smiling gleefully, I can do.  But they&#8217;re like, &#8216;pretend you&#8217;re about to fight!&#8217; and I said, &#8220;I smile before fighting, too.&#8221;  x-X;<\/p>\n<p>I was gonna go swimming after that, but I didn&#8217;t feel like taking a train an hour there, an hour back, and then rushing off to the AACC. <\/p>\n<p>I am so excited because tomorrow I&#8217;m going to take the official Kids Coordinator training session, so I can be &#8216;officially&#8217; certified for the jobs I&#8217;m already doing.  GIVE ME A CERTIFICATE.  And praise.  Lots of praise. I like praise. \ud83d\ude42  Outstanding! \ud83d\ude00 *thumbs up* kthnxbai<\/p>\n<p>oh wait, I saw this poster in the station, trying to promote safety.
