So I've been keeping up with LJ in terms of reading the flist and all that, but posting, once again has been eluding me. XD; Ah well, I try. Kinda. Time to list it XD:

-NaNo: Tried it, kinda floundered, gave in. ^.^;; But I'm still going to be working on that story though I'll be posting it in this journal instead because I want it here. I'll ask if people want a filter for it later when I start putting what I have up (not that there are many people to ask XD) In any case, it was a fun experience and I'd be willing to try it again. (I seriously have such little self-discipline *flop*) LOVED reading

kaitou_marina's though. Shall have to nag her to get back to writing it soon because dood, I want moar.

-New job: Is going well. Lots of working extra while training and to get things caught up from the time when no one was even filling this job. @.@ But hey, it's better pay than the grocery store and I like the work better too, so it's not that bad. Getting up so early everyday though... x.x Ugh, that I could do without. Ah well.

-Holiday Mash Up: Dear god, coordinating like... 4 families it feels like (plus hoping to visit

innate too somewhere in there). But I think we'll make it work, so it's all good. A little worried about the gifts I still have yet to get (or think of wtf @.@) since time is rapidly running out, but I'll manage. Somehow. XD Then gotta figure out when/how to get to Canadaland to see all of them for fun times and visiting and xmas. Also, teh JENNI visit, must. figure. out. Oh and ya know, Mari's birthday's in there somewhere too. Wish me luck people. Wish me luck. XD;; Oh yes, and we have a Christmas Tree. A real one. And it's all decorated and stuff despite not having quite enough lights for our liking, it still worked out and is pretty and sparkly. ♥

-Snow: Good grief, it isn't that much of it, no, but it's been so cold it makes everything really icy. Ugh. I love snow, I do, but worrying about people getting around in it is bad. Buuuuut, like I said, other than that I really like it. It's so pretty. *.* (Even if I have to try to catch buses in it that pass me by at the stop without slowing down. TWICE >.<)

-Shrine: Zomg, the Shinto shrine covered in snow was so beautiful. And didn't pound any mochi myself this year, but it sure was tasty. Oddly enough, I think I've grown from hating red bean paste to not minding it at all. Huh. Anyway, the ceremony was nice, the grounds were really lovely, watching the mochi pounding was fun and I took lots of pictures with my phone. (Man, I want a real camera for things like that. Someday *sigh*) I also bought part of my dad's christmas present there - protection and luck amulets from the shrine. I've been kinda worried about him lately, so... I hope he'll like them and they'll help. In any case, I really enjoyed the visit this year even if getting there was a bit of an icy-road adventure XD;;;

Hmmm that's about it for a life update sort of thing. OH,

shibbyfangirl, a little bit ago (a week or two after you asked actually) your package arrived! Sankyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ ♥ I looove the genuinely Hokkaido kitsune bag XD and the cute lil' Fai cleaner strap. He's now proudly hanging from my DS. And it's always nice to get letters. I really should send them more often knowing how good it feels to get one. ^^;; But thank you so much!

Now to probably get ready for bed soon since I have to get up early tomorrow just to see if I go to work or not again (didn't today, it was closed due to potential and then actual snow and icy conditions).

Wah, I'll be back in the states in a week!!

I need to find out if I have access to a car at all while I'm back. I just remembered that my brother finally got his license and has a job now. When are you free?

Mari already got back to you on this, but iiiiiii, I can't wait to see teh Jenniiiiiiiii-chaaaaaaaaan~~~~

FFFFFFF. At the rate this snow is coming, I don't even know if I CAN make it down to Jonathan's to house sit. IDK. It might clear up by then, but it's so unpredictable. We've got almost two feet now, and it's still snowing.

*nods* Just let us know what's going on. *likes snow, sure, but is dreading Sunday - apparently Wednesday now for probabilties of more of it* ;.;

ICON IS SO ADORABLE.

Glad to hear all is going well for you. ^.^

Hehe, thanks. Not that I made it, but it is a cute one, isn't? The CLAMP Campus boys are indeed adorable. XD

And thanks. ^.^

Oddly enough, I think I've grown from hating red bean paste to not minding it at all.

The same thing happened to me! I guess it's one of those things that grows on you the more you eat it.

Oh hey, then it isn't just me that didn't like it to begin with, that's cool to know XD

I also started out hating it then grew to like it. The really funny thing?

My Japanese fiancee HATES it. (along with Tofu)

Ironic :p

<-- looking forward to reading your writing

Really? Hehe, I think that's the first time I've heard of a Japanese person hating either of those (though I'm sure there are more of them out there, just the first I've heard of personally).

And eeeeh? ^////^

I should get together what's already done and re-post it and get back to work on it. Thanks for the comment about it though. ^_____^

There are probably other Japanese people out there who don't like them, but I have never met one.

She likes her food bland, like bland by Japanese standards. She hates 'sauce' (the stuff on okonomiyaki and tayaki that tastes kinda like a1) and Ketchup as well.

She hates all forms of Japanese sweets, and makes horrified ick noises every time she watches me eat one.
(This is made extra amusing by the fact that if she gets one at work she will bring it home and give it to me. So she hands me food then gets grossed out while I eat... She is silly.)

You are quite welcome. Also - I have started playing super princess peach recently. You were right, it is really fun. It also entertains me no end to be saving the sirs in distress in a pink dress with an umbrella.

I am jealous of your snow. :P

Oh, you and Marina might be interested in my photo album on facebook if you don't have it already. It contains pictures from the summer and autumn festivals where I helped carry the Mikoshi and pull the Dashi.

I heard a rumor from a little rainbow-colored-mouse that you guys were planning a trip over here at some point? If you ever DO make it here, I hope a short visit wouldn't be out of order. =)

You're welcome. :P
