Sorry I couldn't keep our promise and meet up on MSN today, but basicaly I had lots of stuff to do for my relatives (visiting, doing errands and simmilar, that I'm never ever told about until I actually have to do it >.<*), and before that the part-time job, and after that some more errands...etc. To keep it plain and simple, I'm really, honestly sorry I stood you up! T^T Please forgive me?

Weeeeelllll... I won't lie, I did consider you'd say something like that (it occurred to me after I wrote the comment)... If you don't mind, would you reccomend me the web sites that were of most use in learning Japanese (writing) to you personally... I don't think I could find the books here where I live, but maybe I could find them online in digital format, so could you please also give me a small list of books that you used (ONLY if you don't mind! ^-^')

About the MSN, no problem at all - here's my address: metalicnightmare@hotmail.com; BTW, you can call me Aki! ;D

Yeah, film industry has always been my dream too from when I was little, but lately I'd like to dedicate myself to manga, comic books and regular books instead! -^-^- I'd like to study many languages and many cultures and introduce them to the world through my works (maybe even write in different laguages! -^.^-)! All in all, expand my horizons and be sort of a bridge between the West and the East (OK, exaggerating much - basically satisfy my desire to learn and create ;D).

Ah, the parents! I don't know why, but they keep thinking that clothes are more valuable than CDs. I think I'll never fully understand that... Maybe if I become a parent myself, but still... >-<

(One side question - do you live in England? It's just that if you weren't living in England, you probably wouldn't state the price in pounds, so I just got curious... and if you were from somewhere where people normally don't speak English, your English probably wouldn't be that good... -^-^-)

About the CD - you could download the album and burn the CD yourself, but even if you do that, original CDs are more durable than the self-made ones, so I completely understand... ^-^' Good luck on eBay!

Somehow, it would seem that the mum's parents are always more fun than the dad's. Eh, making them do something fun is not all that easy, because they tend to start overworrying and overreacting, or are simply out of shape. I can still have fun with Mum's mum, since she's very good at playing cards and is much fun to go shopping with, but that's about it. My granddads act like Italian mafia bosses, so it's very hard to be relaxed together with them, and my late Dad's mum is too... well, she' just gives off a feeling that makes you pity her. I get the feeling she never stood up for herself in her entire life. My Mum's real dad has already remarried for the third time, and we don't visit him very often because of the strong relationship with my Mum's mum, who ran from him and remarried. A real family drama, isn't it? ^¸^'

So, until next time, hopefully on MSN! (don't forget to give me your MSN address here first, so I wouldn't spam you by accident! ;D)

You're welcome! -^-^-

You're so lucky, I just can't seem to find a tutor to teach me Japanese! >ˇ.< Ah demo, akirameru wa ikenai!!! Zettai ni, ne! ^-^

Thanks, you too, I hope you get to visit all the places that you want to visit and I hope you enjoy your stay there! Oh, that reminds me, what would you like to do when you're older? You say you'd like to go to Japan and that you're studying Japanese for that purpose, and you also have so many YouTube and deviantART etc. accounts, so maybe you'd like to engage in the anime & manga industry and work in Japan?!! (that's kinda what I'd like to do, anyways -^.^-)

Too bad for the album. Parents are so sometimes - they'd buy you an expensive piece of clothing, but not a CD. Sometimes not even that! Although you can always download it online if you want to, you just have to know where to look! ;D But special edition, huh? It's tougher than finding the regular... Anyways, if you're up for it, good luck finding it! Gambare!! -^o^-

Hilarious grandparents, huh? News to me - most of my grandparents are too serious all the time! But, I won't bother you with that, though, I don't want to inconvenient you. ;)

No need to rush things - even if you have little or no time to reply, feel free to keep it easy and stall as much as you want, I don't mind one bit! ^-^

Thanks for watching me so quickly! XD I've started watching you too. Love your journals! ;D

I want to go to JAPAN too!! It was (one of) my dream(s) to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Okinawa, Hokkaido, London (been there this summer!! XD Yay for random London among all the Japanese places!), Vienna (been there this summer too - only at the airport, though :(   ), München, Berlin, Paris, New York, Miami, Washington, Mexico, Canada (not a city, but oh well...), etc. Yes, it's me again with my list of things to *enter wanted action here*... ^¸^'

Are you really studying Japanese (like, learning how to write and all) or are more of a free-lance Japanese-learner like me: learning words and grammar purely by listening to sooooo many anime and secretly wanting to take up seriously studying Japanese?? ^-^'

School Food Punishment update: absolutely love them - already downloaded one of the albums (Prog-Roid) which I'm listening to right now; I discovered that 'never heared of them' wasn't quite right - turns out they're singing the ending theme to Eden of the East - an anime I watched some time ago. XD

I'm so glad you like the theory about the colorful world! ^-^ Makes me very happy!

You, being a teenager, should know it's impossible to have fun with your grandparents - although I did enjoy staying with them a little, I guess. (<--- embarrassed to admit she loves her grandparents because she's afraid of commitment = baka onna)

Well, so far for now! ^-^

About the fanfiction.net, I'm looking forward to it! ^-^

(BTW, Princess Tutu Schwan is the name of my story, the name of the anime is simply Princess Tutu - sorry for not being clear enough on the matter in my previous comment, but anyways, I highly reccomend the anime! Here's the AP link for quicker referance ^.^: http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/princess-tutu )

Ah, yes, the world is so beautiful, you just need to know where to look! As for writing, I'm specializing in romance at the moment, dunno if I'll take upon any more serious themas; after all, romance is most convenient for fan fiction! XP

Yep, normal Japanese music for me too. Thanks for the recommendation, I've never heard of School Food Punishment, but I'll certainly give them a try and let you in on my thoughts afterwards if you'd like! -^-^- I also listen to traditional folklore - my favourites are Japanese (of course), Chinese, Celtic, Greek, Turkish, Indian (as in both India residents and native Americans -^.^-), Mexican, Spanish, African and Russian (at least I think that's all of 'em XP). I aditionally enjoy classical music, religious (I'm not picky, I like trying out new tastes - food too, of course), dance, punk, rock, metal, recently lounge and techno, funky, jazz & blues, evergreen... Pretty much everything! (I guess me not being English has something to do with it... XP) Wide range of tastes makes the world more colorful, don't you agree? ;D

Don't mind the late reply-- Actually, compared to the rest of my 'mail', your reply wasn't all that late at all, so... Hope you had fun on your holiday! ^-^ I, too, will be out for a couple of days since I'll be visiting my grandparents starting tomorrow. See ya then! -^-^-
