 Given the latest round of imaginative penalties inflicted on me for my lack of imagination and initiative, I've taken it upon myself to make the sign of the evil eye and attempt to avert future punishments by making up for my alleged deficiencies over the holiday season.

The largest booth at Karaoke-Doki has been reserved on the night of its upcoming grand opening.  While as Secretary I'm in no position to compel obedience myself, please rest assured that I'm confident in my expectation that, like the majority of club events, attendance will prove to be mandatory.

Please, for your own sakes: don't be late.

Think of songs for the queue ahead of time!! Dilly-dallying and wishy-washiness will not be accepted!! Attendance and participation are of course both expected!!

... I suppose I can do that.

Haruhi. If I didn't already say. The cookies are delicious.

Thanks, I tried a new recipe. Sorry they weren't much to look at.

With cookies, the substance matters more than the appearance.

I'd say "I'm sorry there hasn't been a clear night since Christmas," but I'm not about to accept responsibility for the weather.

I actually haven't minded much. Like, doesn't it remind you of home some?

Maybe I should have been watching for the moment the rain turned to snow.
