Yes yes, definitely! Let's save each other!!! XD (sorry for the late reply, I got sucked away by school, but I managed to wriggle out somehow - you won't believe what has happened in the meantime!! O-o)

I suddenly got asked to represent my school in an English language competition. It wouldn't be such a shocking thing if the teacher didn't come to me one sunny day and just said: 'You were the best on the school level, so you'll have to represent the school at the regional competition. Here are the examples of the tests from the last three years, finish them and check your answers clipped at the back, the competition is tomorrow, good luck' and went away. It basically went something like that. Tomorrow morning I went to the meeting place, but the teacher was late so I had to manage on my own (I just followed other ppl, I trained in games *clicks auto-follow* :p). In the end, I had to do an additional test because I was tied with a guy in the 3rd place, and the 1st and 2nd were also tied in the first place. After all that mess and an immesureable amount of stress, I finished 4th, with just a point difference from the 1st. Phew! O-o

Moving house is in its final stages - now they're just installing stuff all over the house, like new shelfs and the TV, but the most of the work is done. :p The only thing they're forgetting is the modem for the Internet (yup, I'm still stuck with the little USB mobile internet...Lovely. =___=*) The Internet guys keep postponing and my Mum and her mum (generally known as the 'enterior designer', though she's originally a retired merchant) just can't find the time that fits both of the parties. *sighs* Sometimes I think there are more downsides to having a large family, but then I picture myself in a small family and say: 'Oh hey, at least I have it interesting everyday' :p Though I'd like some boring days, too, please. =¸='

You're absolutely right, I remember my reaction the first time I watched an Eastern drama: *sitting and watching for half an hour* 'Hmmm, I wonder why this feels so long...' *looks at the video time-counter* (I think it's called like that XP) 'OMG, this thing is long!!' XD XP I'm not watching any at the moment, but I'd recommend Skip Beat! - the Taiwanese drama (a Korean version will be out soon, starring TOP from the Korean pop-band BIGBANG :D), 100 Days With Mr. Arrogant (while watching I just stared at the screen stupidly, but after watching I thought it was great XD), My Mighty Princess (martial arts = me gusta! :D), Project Makeover (absolutely touching!), Baby & Me (soooo beautiful I cried T^T), and One Pound Gospel (a Japanese one), for now. :3 'For now' is the key phrase here, so it's for now. XD 

I leave school on the 15th of June, having finals in regular class from the 12th to the 14th of June, one after the other. =___=* Meanwhile I went completely crazy. The other day I literally roamed aimlessly through the park taking random pictures and speaking to plants I could see from the window of my twin's room (I spoke to a tree for a really long time - until an old woman suddenly appeared on a window nearby and I made my escape O___o) I swear I speak the truth! Such a hectic May! Did I mention it snowed too?? O_____________o Honest! On the 14th of May (or was it the 13th...?) @____@

....... I can only say 'teehee' after all that. =´¸`='

UWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, HAAAAAAANNNNNAAAAAAAAHHHHH-CHAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!!~~~~ *jumps from 2m away and hugs you* I miss you sooooooooooooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!!!!! TT^TT School is killing me, save me! X'O

But, not all is bad news, there are some good news, too: I FINALLY found a JAPANESE LANGUAGE COURSE!!!!!! (I'm currenly waiting to see if they'll call me and say I'm in, because there is a limited number of members allowed, so I'm really hoping I can get in X3) Oh yeah, and I moved out of my old house 2 weeks ago, so 'what I'm wearing tommorow' is a complicated question everyday. XD And I'm sorry for not appearing on MSN lately (or maybe I should say 'these past few months'?? >x<), but I don't have a stable connection at my new house (we still wait to fix that), and additionally, school's been pressing on with exams and the like, so I haven't even had the time to watch anime!! (my anime/manga activity is limited to reading a new chapter of a manga that I'm following - there are about 8 different mangas - every month, and that's it! XO)

I also started watching some Japanese (and Korean, and Taiwanese, and Chinese) dramas online, but I only watched a few so far (again, because of the lack of time). :p I can't wait for summer vacation, my sisters and I thought about making a black-and-white comic (I dare not call it manga yet XD), so I'm really looking forward to it (my greatest fear is discovering how little I know of drawing! XP).

Anyways, take care and so sorry for the late reply. <3

Due to the amazing amout of free time that I've acumulated at the moment (I can't sleep because my head is killing me, because I'm sick X'O), I went over your watched list (and realized that you've watched some anime that I've been yearning to watch for a while now (Like Dream Eater Merry!)! :O Don't spoil the ending!) and have prepared some more recommendations for you :P --> Since I see you liked Ano hi Mita Hana(...), I'd say you try Kuragehime (a blast!! I laughed so hard at times!), Fractale, (which I know I have enjoyed and spilled a few tears over), Hana-Saku Iroha (just beautiful! T_T), Piano no Mori (a movie worth watching!), and also Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai and Kimi ni Todoke, if you find them interesting enough.. :P (man, I shoul try asking my doctor to proscribe me some sleeping pills for this headache... although I generaly try to avoid pills and other drugs as if they were fatal venom... -_-' Being sick is not nice! XO)

Bleh, missed by one point! XD Taurus is the 2nd sign in zodiac, and Aries is the first (Wikipedia). :D My Mum is a Taurus, too. XD We get along well.

Here's the link to the Chinese zodiac info on Wikipedia, if you'd like to see what are the characteristics of yours and others' zodiac signs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_zodiac

Ah, that Wikipedia! You can find info on everything on there!! :O I used it countless times to dig up info for school and my lovely anime & manga obsession! XD

BTW, I'm sick (for three days now) *coughs* so I have plenty of time on my hands to watch anime and read manga! :D *coughs* Except that the sore throat is spoiling my good time... =.='

Better late than never! ;D

The blog will definitely help you get better at Japanese! Go for it!! ^-^

April, huh? So you're a an Aries, like my (and my twin's) younger sister? XD My twin sis and I are Scorpios. ;D Although I don't really believe in horoscope, I like to know people's zodiac signs, just for the fun of it (and since each zodiac sign has a story of its own, they're very interesting to read about)! :P Oh, and I'm a Dog in Chinese zodiac (born in the year of the Dog - lucky me -¸-'). Dogs are described as: Honest, intelligent, straightforward, loyal, sense of justice and fair play, attractive, amicable, unpretentious, sociable, open-minded, idealistic, moralistic, practical, affectionate, sensitive, easy going. Can be cynical, lazy, cold, judgmental, pessimistic, worrier, stubborn, quarrelsome. (Wikipedia) XD Indeed, many apply to me, although maybe a bit exaggerated.. :P
