Welcome to my place! This is where I sleep, eat, bathe, change clothes, eat, surf the web, watch the telly, eat, spend time with Mom and Dad, read Mom's manga, and eat! Yup, I live here! And now I'll give yah the grand tour!
=The Front Hall=
This is the first place you'll end up when going through the front door! Take your shoes off before oyu come in, and put on a pair of house slippers from the slipper rack! We've got many colors, but don't touch my fluffy pink ones! A picture frame hangs on the wall, above the slipper rack. It shows me, Dad, and Mom in our yukatas at the Tanabata Festival!
Now hurry up! I've got more places to show you!
=The Living Room=
After the front hall we'll come into the living room, where a big couch made for five people sits in front of the telly. Our telly is a 46" plasma screen television, sitting on a short and sturdy stand made for televisions, with storage space below for DVDs! The small coffee table sitting in the area between the couch and the telly is littered with various magazines and mangazines. And a few volumes of Mom's manga, "Destiny Drive", join the clutter!
=Dining Room=
Now we've got the dining room, a small area with enough room for one table big enough to seat six people. It is set up in the Western fashion, with a raised table instead of kotatsu, and chairs instead of cushions. The floor is tile (not tatami) and kept as clean as the kitchen. The table itself is made of a polished dark wood, wiped clean after every meal. The chairs are the same, with a beige cushions that are quite comfortable to sit on. The light doubles as a fan, and it is, yes, the same color of wood as the table. It hangs directly over the table, in the center of the dining room ceiling. This is one of my fave spots in the whole house!
=The Kitchen=
Welcome to the kitchen, with its shiny black marble countertops, stainless steel sink, and a dishwasher to match! The oven is to the right of the stove, which has a microwave hanging over it, and is also near the pantry. But the big fridge we've got has room for plenty of food! And the floor is tiled, which are an ivory color. Pretty neat, huh?
=Stairway/Hallway=
Now up the rug-covered staircase and into the hall! Hanging on the walls are pictures of mostly me, Mom, and Dad, though a few of our relatives and friends are there, too. The hallway leads to the bathroom, Mom's office, and the bedrooms, not to mention the laundry room!
=Torako's Office=
This is where Mom does all her work. Being a manga-ka, she obviously has a large, well-lit desk sitting against the wall, with drawers for erasers, ink, pens, pencils, and tons and tons of paper! The bookshelves that line the walls are cluttered with photoalbums, folders of Mom's artwork, published volumes of Mom's manga, and manga of her favorite authors. I dunno how she can find all her stuff in the clutter, but she can!
=Ryuto and Torako's Room=
Now it's Mom and Dad's room, where they sleep and all that other stuff. There is a king-szed bed in here, along with a telly complete with cable and DVD! Dad's computer sits on a desk that is near the bed, and he uses it more than his laptop (Dad only uses his laptop at the college!). The master bathroom has two sinks, a toilet, and a big walk-in closet that has more of Mom's stuff than Dad's.
=The Bathroom=
The ONLY bathroom in the house with a bathtub, it has one sink, one toilet, and of course one bathtub. My toothbrush and toothpaste sit on the side of the sink, where an oval-shaped mirror hangs over it. Obivously this bathroom has a lock, in case of guests.
=Hinata's Bedroom=
Yes, my bedroom! To the right of the doorway is my bed, a perfectly comfy mattress that I always sleep in. Directly across from the door is my desk, where my laptop, which is a metallic blue color, usually sits. The bookshelves in my room are cluttered with volumes of Mom's manga, manga of my favorite series, novels, photoalbums, and a couple cases of game cartridges for handhelds. I wish I had a telly in here, but I don't! Oh, and there are a couple hooks stuck into the walls made to hold my wooden staff. My staff has an intricate lotus design in the center where my hands would grip it, and at one end the kanji characters that make up my name are carved in.
=The Laundry Room=
Finally, the laundry room! Obviously we do all our laundry here, with matching washer and dryer, but there is a door that leads to a small balcony. That is where we hang our wet clothes to dry, and we only use the dryer on rainy days!
I hope you liked the grand tour! Sayonara!
=The Front Hall=
