So, who else have I been bestowing my glorious presence upon I hear you ask? Yesterday Kaidoh-kun and I played a match. Obviously, I won 6-3, but it was really<\/s> fun. It's nice to have a decent opponent once in a while. Especially one with such well toned arms... ;)

After Kevin-kun so kindly gave me ten thumbs down for no reason, I have decided to open up drabble requests, because I want my thumbs up back ;___;<\/s>. I suggest you all request one. Give me a pairing and a promt, and I'm write you something amazing, because I don't really know how to write badly, yo? I'm not so familar with some of the fandoms around here, but I'll do my best. Which will probably be like, really good.

I mean I'd act surprised. But I think we all knew that anyway. Heh.

Kaidoh came round today, it was really to see Chibisuke. But then Ryoma got all huffy and stormed off, so I Ryoga, being the gracious host that I am, had to keep him company. Not that I minded all that much, Kaidoh is pretty cool<\/s>, but this is just so you all know, not everyone in the Echizen family is as rude as Ryoma. He's really mad at me now though, and I don't really know why. What did he want me to do, leave his guest all on his own? Che.

Then I went to the store to buy some milk. It struck me on the way how cold it's gotten recently, what with it being nearly winter an all. Cold enough for a jacket anyway. I saw a guy wearing mittens, but he looked pretty dumb because it's not anywhere near that<\/i> cold yet. But it also got me thinking. Would he have looked so dumb if he had had my charms and rougish good looks? I concluded probably not. Ergo, I shall be investing in some mittens come winter time. Although, you know, my birthday is around then, and Atobe did ask what I wanted...<\/font><\/div>"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:extra_echizen:1645","link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/extra-echizen.livejournal.com\/1645.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/extra-echizen.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=1645"}}],"title":"An amazing idea","published":"2006-09-23T23:31:04Z","updated":"2006-09-23T23:31:04Z","content":"Today it has come to my attention how stupid a large amount of the general population are. I don't claim to be anything of a genius, having had *ahem* a less than plentiful amount of formal education but whilst watching 'The Weakest Link' today, I was horrified to hear a contestant answer '6' to the question 'How many limbs do three people have?' Prehaps this is a worrying trend, the contestants on 'Deal or No Deal' rarely deal at what would be an appropriate moment, many of these shows I find it entirely too difficult to watch. Not to mention that most of the contestants are somewhat lacking in the looks department.

Despite how it may seem, I have not spent all day watching cheap daytime TV. No indeed, I have been extremely busy, doing er, important stuff. I did however have time to take Chibisuke out for dinner. He was good company, I guess ;)

Anyway, I digress, I digress. After a lengthy conversation with Kevin-kun the other day, in which he asked me to teach him some new moves, I had a rather good idea. I, Ryoga, tennis ace, often have *ahem* a bit of spare time, and many of you wannabe tennis players have the drive and determination to better yourselves, but without the neccessary skills to make it to the top. You see where I'm going with this?

I'd be happy to help any of you little guys out there, because you know, I want a decent opponenet to play once in a while. I won't even charge you much<\/s>. So just drop me a note, and I'm sure I'll be able to fit you in somewhere ;)

On another note, it seems a large number of birthdays are fast approaching. I am currently weighing up how far buying presents for people I barely know will aid me in my quest for BNfdom."},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:extra_echizen:1453","link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/extra-echizen.livejournal.com\/1453.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/extra-echizen.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=1453"}}],"title":"Because I know you were all waiting for it","published":"2006-09-20T18:53:28Z","updated":"2006-09-20T19:00:21Z","category":{"@attributes":{"term":"memes"}},"content":"I know I'm a little bit late in this, but noone wants to arrive at the party first, yo? So here are 50 things you've always wanted to know about Echizen Ryoga...


1. I know the subject of my parenting has confused a few of you. Let me assure you now, I am included in that number. The official line is that I'm adopted, but I find it very difficult to believe that Oyaji isn't my real dad if not for the fact that we look virtually iditical<\/s>.

2. I however have no idea who my mother is and I shouldn't think the old man does either...<\/s>

3. I love oranges, they are my favourite food. Don't ask me why. I like to eat the skin as well because I like the way the sweetness of the fruit is balanced out by the bitterness of the pith.

4. There aren't many things in life I enjoy more than tennis.

5. My uncertain family lineage means than I don't actually know how old I am, which is more than a little disconcerting. I tell people that I am 17 though, because that seems like a pretty cool age to be, and it seems a little stupid to say 'I don't know'. My birthday is November 22nd though. So save up your pennies ^.^

6. I like to tease people, but I rarely mean it to be anything but humourous.

7. I'm not that interested in girls right now, mainly because I find boys a whole lot less complicated. I think I'd like to get married someday though.

8. I love the sea, and most things about it. Seafood is always really good, and I love to swim.

9. 'The Little Mermaid' is my favourite Disney film. I think Sebastian is really cool.

10. I like to give people advice. It makes me feel needed ;___;<\/s> superior.

11. I am no longer affiliated with any sort of crime ring.

12. I think my entire family suffers from selective amnesia.

13. I really like ice cream. Especially when it has exciting toppings. Rainbow sprinkles are my favourite.<\/small>

14. Despite what I always say, I don't really<\/i> think I'm that much better than Chibisuke. Just a little bit ;)

15. My favourite colour is green. The bluey green, kinda how my hair looks in the sun.

16. I like to give the impression that I'm happy all of the time, but I'm not.

17. Ladies seem to like the story of my tragic past. It's fun to see how many I can get to fawn over me at once.

18. I like hugs. A lot. You can never have too many hugs.

19. When I was little, I wanted to be Troy from 'Stingray'.

20. *hums 'Stingray' theme tune*

21. The best tennis match I ever played was against Chibisuke.

22. That was also the only real match I ever lost.

23. My favourite piece of clothing is the cap I stole off Chibisuke that one time. I wear it sometimes.

24. I was pretty gutted when Steve Irwin died, I thought he was pretty cool.

25. I wish that I could sing. That's the one thing I will admit being worse than Ryoma at.

26. I guess I don't really mind sweeping all<\/i> that much. It gets Nanako off my back. and sometimes Dad does it with me :D<\/small>

27. Despite everything, I still think my Dad is pretty cool. He's better than some fathers out there.

28. My favourite person in the whole world is Ryoma. Even though he thinks i'm an idiot.

29. I'm actually pretty good at math. Advanced trigonometric fuctions just come easily to me.

30. It always amazes me that when people are asked 'what three things would you take to a desert island' they rarely say 'boat'.

31. I love to travel. Seeing new places is always exciting.

32. If I wasn't so good at tennis, I think I'd like to be an explorer.

33. Or maybe a chef.

34. I've never had a real best friend. I don't know whether I'm upset about this.

35. I don't know why people tend to forget my so easily. It makes me pretty sad.<\/s>

36. I don't think I'm ever likely to become a BNF, but theres no harm in trying, yo?

37. I sometimes wonder if I use ';)' a little too often.

38. Probably not.

39. I like playing tennis with Chibisuke because I never know what physics-defying things to expect.

40. I didn't really like working on a cruise ship all that much. It made me feel a bit like Jane McDonald >:(

41. My favourite band is Westlife<\/s> some obscure indi band that you've never heard of.

42. I love thunderstorms. But only when I'm warm inside.

43. I have never dressed up in women's clothing. That doesn't mean I haven't thought about it.<\/s>

44. I hate moths. They are gross.

45. This meme is harder than I thought it would be.

46. I want to go skydiving one day. It looks like fun.

47. I kind of wish I had a pet of my own. Karupin doesn't like me much ;___;<\/s>

48. I've never been in love before. I'm not sure if anyone has been in love with me.

49. I'm really good at dancing. I'm like as suave as Justin Timberlake on the dancefloor.

50. Right now, I think I'm the happiest I have ever been.

I hope you all read<\/s> enjoyed that. I know you can't get enough of your hopefully not any lower than 3rd ;___;<\/s> favourite Echizen ;)"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:extra_echizen:1218","link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/extra-echizen.livejournal.com\/1218.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/extra-echizen.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=1218"}}],"title":"Guess who's home?","published":"2006-09-16T19:16:17Z","updated":"2006-09-16T19:19:02Z","content":"Well yes, it doesn't take a genius to work out that Ryoga Echizen is back in town. I told you all not to worry ;)

Where have I been I hear you cry? Well just about everywhere to be perfectly honest. How I managed it in just two weeks on such a frugal budget is a secret I shall keep to myself, because I may be able to bottle it one day and sell it, but suffice to say I visited all of the 7 continents, apart from Antarctica of course snow is no fun unless there is someone smaller than you to throw it at<\/s>, climbed the Eiffel Tower, Sears tower, the Sydney Harbour bridge, went down the Grand Canyon, and the Marianus Trench, saw Jesus in Rio, saw the Queen in London, the Pope in Rome, and the Stingray that killed Steve Irwin ;_____;<\/s>

So overall a pretty good trip.

I can safely say now that my travel bug has been temporarily satiated, so there is no need to worry about me going away for a long while yet ;)

It seems like some strnage things have been going on while I've been away, namely Chibisuke has grown a lot hotter<\/s> taller. We could practically be twins now eh? I was of course born first though, musn't let anyone get confused....

It also appears that only three people have bothered to rate my entry for the Ore-sama Olympics, which either means it was so bad you all hated it and couldn't even be bothered to read it ;_;<\/s> you didn't know where to find it, or, no that's really the only option. Never fear, you can read it HERE<\/a> (Wow, that even rhymed ^.^<\/small>)

Chibisuke, I told you I'd get you a gift did I not? I was sipping a coctail on Waikiki Beach whilst the idea came to me, brilliant as it was. Sure it doesn't really look like you right now<\/i>, but I really didn't think you idolised me as much to grow so quickly, yo? ;) So yes, I got some quirky local guy to paint a characature of us both. Obviously you weren't there, so I just had to tell him to make you slightly shorter and uglier than me. I think it turned out pretty well...

Well, I have been pleasantly surprised, I must admit, it seems that the brat's unsocial tendacies have not spread as quickly as I may have feared.

Today my hug tally is 2 not involving Chibisuke :(<\/s>. Which isn't bad for a first day I guess, new guys asking for hugs may seem suspicious, even if they are as attractive as me, so I think I did pretty well. Although I read somewhere that you need 6 hugs a day just to survive, 8 for growth, and 12 for happiness. I refute this claim, seeing as I'm still alive, but it would be interesting to see how my happiness improved with more loving for the Ryoga-man. Any volunteers? My embraces are quite legendary you know.... ;)

After conversing with <\/a>princess_isobel<\/b><\/a><\/span>, who seems to have mysteriously disappeared after I discovered that she was actually<\/i> a mermaid, and also Atobe, who I was excited<\/s> amused to discover had once been a squid trust me to miss all the fun X_x<\/s>, my love for seafood seems to have reawakened somewhat. I have a possible fic idea that may or may not borrow heavily from 'The Little Mermaid', but I'll keep you avid readers posted.

And as much as I hate to disappoint you all, I am going on a short vacation. It could be a week, could be two. But never fear, I'll definitely be back ;)

Chibisuke, this time, I expect some sort of welcome home celebration. No excuses.

Dad.... please try not to forget about me this time ;____; I'll miss you<\/small> ♥<\/s>

So I hear you asking? What has the newest, and lets face it, most charming member of the Echizen family got to offer? My answer? Come and find out for yourself. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed ;) I also play a mean game of tennis if that's your thing.

And Chibisuke? I must say, I'm highly dissapointed you didn't arrange a surprise party for my return, but I guess I'd settle for a hug."}]}
