I won't go into details right now, until I'm on my own computer and in a more comfortable position, but...

Morikawa touched my hand. Twice.

Oh, and he's adorable in person. X3

I die.

Seriously, hello everyone. Been relatively absent since I did the NaBlo back in November, I know. I don't even have a good excuse. The theme for this month is 'routine' I figured that was a sign that I should get back into one and reconnect with so many of you here that I've been neglecting. So, this is the first day of my attempt to do that. Yeah, I know it's almost midnight (on the first day of the challenge!) and I'll probably barely get this posted, but what the heck, it will get posted!

I'm watching the Lake House on tv. Never seen it before, it's kind of a little confusing. But that's probably because I have only been paying half attention to it.

Before I forget...[Unknown LJ tag] - got your package, thank you! It's very cute.
luin77 Got your package too. Tell Oropher that Rumil actually let me have some of it!!! (Though Ru took the picture frame and I'm pretty sure he put his OWN picture in it, though according to the note I saw, Oropher suggested a picture of himself to go into it) ...So, Thank you Jenny and Oropher. Ru and I both loved it all. *nods*

Since it's almost midnight here, I'm going to get this posted. I have tomorrow off...actually I'm off work until next Wednesday, so I will be able to post earlier for the next week or so--that means I'll post longer too. heh. Okay, good night!! Alex, I'm working on your betas and I think I have an idea about that other fic too. I'll email them all to you!

I was hoping someone could help me; the source code for Expressive is plain, but all the Expressive css I've come across calls for 'Unstyled' with the layout's stylesheet which evidently requires a bit more.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

So, vacation is going pretty well. We started off on June 18th, driving all the way through IN, IL, IA, and NE on the first day. Stopped in Peoria, IL, to see aizome, which was much wonderful, but then we later declared war on NE, because it's full of suck. Whole lot of nothing there, not even a turn in the road, and there's no gas stations when you need them. >(

We drove through Yellowstone National Park in WY, and it was the most beautiful thing ever. We fan WY. So, so pretty. And MT was very nice as well. We stopped over at my friend's uncle's place in MT for a night, and while he tempted us with text messages promising steak the whole way there.... the steak was a lie. We got chicken instead. Then the next day, more chicken. But at least he gave us some chicken for the road. .^^;

Passed through ID on our way to WA, where we spent some time in Seattle. I *heart* Seattle so much. It's my kind of city, even though walking up and down the hills just about killed me.

We discovered OR may very well be the porn capital of the U.S., as every few miles along the highway there were huge "ADULT SHOP!!" signs. .^^; Probably for those lonely business travelers who got stuck passing through there.

Then to CA, my love. Got to see my Aunt and Uncle in Paradise, and some good friends in San Francisco. Went to Japantown and the Castro District, bought lots of gay stuff, and ate a ton of Japanese food. For two days. XD

Stopped only very very briefly in Los Angeles (while passing through my old home, Salinas, where I pointed at my old house and workplaces), before jumping on a plane.......

And now we've been in HI for the past three days. And ya know.... I LOVE IT! XD Well, I could do without the heat, and the fact that almost everyone here is really well built, so I feel even more like a fat slob than usual. But everything is English/Japanese bilingual, and we're having a grand ol' time reading everything in both languages.

I have a friend who's living here with his wife, as she's stationed here in the Air Force, and Saturday they picked us up and we went to the beach. And I got to go snorkling!! It was the most amazing thing! It was like... like.... there was this whole world under the water, and I got to spy on it. There were canyons and caves and coves and all kinds of things, all under the water. And the fish! So many cute fish. .^___^ So it was also kind of like a really big aquarium. X3 If we had more time I'd want to go again, but my friend that I came here with is afraid of water, and she spent the whole time just sitting on the beach, and I don't want her to get bored or anything...

Today we went and saw Pearl Harbor. We took a guided tour of the USS Missouri, which was super cool, and then, of course, the memorial over the USS Arizona.

I don't know what we'll do the rest of the time we're here, though. Wednesday night we go back to Los Angeles, where we'll be hitting up Anime Expo (and I will be stalking Morikawa >3 ), then back home.


It's been a long and fulfilling whirlwind, so far.



Oh, and before I forget....

Meanwhile...
