Hi! I'm Tohru Honda! ^_^

Somebody at school said that blogging was really fun. I thought I'd give it a try!
Um...I don't really know what to say. I guess I'll start with what I like. Because there's not a lot of room for that in the About Me section!
I like cooking and cleaning and giving advice and taking care of people, and doing everything I possibly can to make them happy. Sometimes I worry that I'm not very good at it. I'm determined to keep on trying, though. I want to find out what makes everyone happy!
My favorite color is pink. It's really pretty! Pink comes in a lot of different shades. I think rose is my favorite shade of pink. Shigure was really nice and bought me a bed with pink covers--oh, I didn't even mention who Shigure was! You probably don't know who I'm talking about! I'd better explain.
Shigure is the kind and handsome man that I live with. After my mom died, he and my classmate Yuki found me living in a tent on their property because my grandfather didn't have room for me (his house was being remodeled). I ended up staying with Shigure and Yuki, and later Kyou (he's really nice too!) for what was supposed to be just a little while. I did go to live with my grandfather again eventually, but I was so sad from missing the Souma family that I went back there to live with them and I've been living there ever since!
My biggest hero ever is my mom. Even though she's dead, I know her spirit is still with me. She's always watching over me, cheering me on! I want to make Mom proud, so I have to keep my promise to her and finish high school, although it's really tough for me.
I'm not very smart. This makes me sad sometimes. I wish I could do the things other kids do. Like getting straight A's while hardly ever studying. Yuki is so smart. I really admire him. He probably could get straight A's without ever studying, but he works really hard anyway. He's always studying! Sometimes I'm irresponsible, watching tv or talking to my friends when I should be studying. Yuki never does that, though. I hope that someday I can be more like him.
I think I'm in love with Yuki.
Is it okay to say that here?! Oh gosh, I hope so. I thought it would be since it's my journal, but maybe it's not okay. Maybe somebody will read that and hate me for it. What if Yuki finds it?! I guess I shouldn't worry about it. People pour their hearts out in these things all the time and nobody ever says anything bad about it to them.
And besides...it is getting awfully hard to live with that secret. I don't want to tell Yuki how I feel because I'm afraid he doesn't feel the same way, but I feel like I have to tell someone. Sometimes, I love him so much I feel like my heart is going to burst right out of me!
Um...I'm not sure that made sense...
I'm not sure exactly when I started loving him. He was always so beautiful to me, I couldn't look away. When we were first getting to be friends, I'd be afraid to say anything at all to him because I thought I'd end up sounding really stupid. He's always so kind to me, though. He's never made me feel stupid. Not once!
He helps me with my schoolwork all the time. And even though I'm dumb and I don't get it the first dozen times, he's always so patient, explaining things over and over, smiling like he's really having fun. I bet he'd make a wonderful teacher. I told him that once and he just laughed. I think he thought I was joking. But I was serious! If he was my teacher, I'd always pay attention...
When he holds my hand, his hand is so soft and warm in mine. He smiles at me with his eyes and not just his mouth. I've never kissed anybody before, but when I look at him smiling at me like that it takes my breath away and I lean just a little bit closer, wishing he would kiss me.
He's so brave and strong and selfless. He's always giving his time and energy to help others. He's always smiling even when he's feeling really sad inside. He told me once that he just did nice things so other people would like him. What he doesn't know is that they like him already. I like him so much already. He doesn't have to be nice to me. Not ever. But he is, anyway.
Oh, well. I guess I shouldn't ramble on so much. People might get tired of me!
If there's anything I can do for anybody reading this, I hope they will let me know. I love to help out. Just tell me if you need something and I'll do it!
I should go work on my homework now. It's math! Ick. When I think about my math, I start feeling really scared. Maybe Yuki has time to help me. I hate to bother him though...I guess I should try doing it on my own first.
Oh, well. Mathbook, here I come!
