Attention people! I've made a new LJ, and it's going to be Friends Only this time. I decided to make it that way for several reasons, but I won't get into them all right now. And who knows? I may even decide that I don't want my journal to be so private, and change it back someday... but for now, this is how it's going to be.

[info]bloominglove

An important thing that everyone needs to know is that I won't be adding any of you first--you can all do it at your own free will, and then I'll add you back. That way, if you were someone who didn't exactly... jump at the sight of one of my entries on your friends page, then you won't be stuck scrolling through them anymore. xD I'm hoping that's not the case with any of you, but who knows!

ALSO, if you would like for me to take you off of my [info]simplepromise friends list, since I won't be using this account anymore, then just let me know!

WIN!  
My grandfather called me earlier and asked for a final date for my trip to England, because he was about to start looking for flights! ^__^ I don’t think that he has booked one yet, but… at least he’s looking, so it shouldn’t take much longer. I checked out a website that listed a few not too long ago, and most of them were only about $600-something for a round trip. That’s still expensive, but compared to paying over a thousand dollars if they were booked later on, it’s a good deal. I can’t wait. ♥ My grandfather has been so nice about it… I feel kind of bad that he insisted on paying for it, because he’s already done so many things for everyone in the family.

But, I’m planning to work hard in order to earn all of my own spending money for the trip! I talked to our old neighbor today about babysitting her daughter, Marissa, and as far as I know I’ll be starting that job next week. I’m not sure exactly how long or often I’ll have to do it, but I’m going to call her later to discuss all of the details. I’ll probably get around $100 or so each week, judging by what she was telling me, so that won’t be too bad. (Especially when I add it to what my mom pays me for taking care of Jake while she works!) I’m also going to help keep two of my younger cousins, Cameron and Kaitlyn, for about two weeks when they come to visit. That’ll be… four kids all at once, so start praying for me, people. Heh. O_O;

Anyway, not much else has been going on lately. This month has been really fun because I went to see Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 right when they came out! I don’t have the time (or the willpower) to sit and write long reviews for each one, but I will say that I wasn’t disappointed with any of them, for the most part! My only peeves were that 1) Spiderman had too many out-of-place, corny scenes, 2) the storyline for Shrek was kind of lacking, even though it was funny, and 3) Pirates didn’t really end the way that I wanted it to. Unlike most people, the length didn’t bother me that much, but… there was still so much going on, that it became a bit confusing at times. And there were some really sad parts. ._. I was still pleased with all of the movies, though, and can’t wait to watch them again!

I better go now, since Jake and I are about to watch Sleeping Beauty. (And no, I am NOT forcing him to! He actually wants to see it. xD) It’s one of my favorite Disney movies, so I’m looking forward to it. ♥

This video has the sweetest opening ever... )

Anyway, speaking of Full Moon wo Sagashite, I’ve finally been able to download the episodes! My grandparents recently got high-speed internet for their computers, so I’ll be taking advantage of that every time that I go to their house. It’s sooo nice for a change. I’m currently up to episode 12, and have really loved the series so far. I also downloaded the first episode of La Corda D’Oro and enjoyed that a lot, so I’ll try to finish that after Full Moon. Other series that I plan to start on aaare…

Tales of Symphonia - This is my favorite trailer so far! The scene towards the end, with Lloyd and Colette, made me laugh. xD The music sounds good, as well. Can't wait until it comes out!
Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (Pure) - I’ve seen like, 13 episodes so far but never had a chance to finish it. Blagh.
Romeo x Juliet - I can never resist a tragic romance story… and from what I‘ve seen, it looks really good. ♥ Aww. Romeo is also so cute in it, and I LOVE the opening theme.
Princess Tutu - I keep hearing about it, and it looks interesting! So yes. Must watch.
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle - Do I really need to explain this one?
Ashita no Nadja - Been wanting to ever since Rindi mentioned it. It looks so cute!

There are more, but I don’t think I’ll bother with listing them until I finish these… Any other recommendations would be nice, though.

Umm, and let’s see. I also have a few pictures that I can post, some from Yuki’s visit and the others from the Hawaii trip that my brother and grandfather took. There are plenty more, but they're on my grandfather's computer and I haven't had enough time to send them to myself. These, aside from the ones of Yuki, were just the ones that he sent us while he was over in Hawaii. He took my grandmother’s laptop and was able to e-mail quite a few to us. :3

Yuki and my puppy, Archie - I snapped this while we were just sitting on the grass playing with the dogs, and it turned out really cute!
At Six Flags, with that coyote dude
Hoku - Yaaay!
Hoku singing at one of the memorial services
Haumea, Don’s former waaay younger wife, and her mom - For some reason, that picture makes me laugh. Hm.

Speaking of the memorial services, both went really well. The family was doing fine, as you can probably tell by the pictures, and they were very glad to see my grandfather (as well as meet Zack) again! Everyone had a lot of fun and enjoyed sharing memories and celebrating Don's life together. It was so nice of them to invite our family even to the private service, considering that there were only about 50 people there... and that's compared to the thousands that were at the public service.

Something that my grandfather surprised me with when they got back was an autograph from Hoku, just for me! (He said that she ran up and gave him a hug when she first saw him, so at least she still remembers us. XD They had a few chances to talk to each other, so I guess he told her that I was a big fan, etc.) She signed it to me on a five-dollar bill, and he framed it along with a picture that he took of her holding it! I’ll definitely be hanging it on a wall in my room, lol. I completely spazzed out when he showed it to me… eee, he couldn’t have brought back a better souvenir! X3 Whenever I have a chance, I’ll take a picture of it to show you guys.

Anyway, I’m running out of time (and things to talk about) so I better go now. Hopefully I’ll get back into updating regularly. It’s just so hard since I’ve been really busy lately...

Well, er... I wasn't exactly planning for my next update to come a month later, but whatever. xD It's just that a lot of stuff has happened lately, so I've had trouble finding the time to actually sit down and write about it all.

The most important thing that came up was the death of a family friend, Don Ho. He was a famous singer over in Hawaii, and although I'm sure most of you haven't heard of him, I know that Ashley and Jordan would know who I'm talking about because he was Hoku's father. I had only met him once or twice back when I was little, but many of my other family members have known him for a really long time. They would always go to his show whenever they took a vacation to Hawaii, and even my great-grandmother had a small part in it after she moved there.

I really felt sorry for my grandfather, since he was better friends with him than any of us. Every time my grandparents went to his show, they'd always go out to eat together and stuff. (They enjoyed talking to each other since they had a lot in common, such as both being in the Air Force.) It was really difficult to actually tell him when we found out about this from one of my cousins, since he and my grandmother were on a cruise at the time. We had to call the ship to get in touch with him, which was confusing, and even after that he wasn't able to contact Don's family until after he got back.

Thankfully, however, the night that he and my grandmother returned, he got a call from Don's wife, Haumea. She sounded okay--it had been several days since he had passed away, so most of the family had come to terms with it. They had already held a funeral for him (the day right after he died, I think) but were planning two more memorial services. One for the family and friends, and another for the public, where they'd scatter his ashes out to sea. She wanted us to come to both, especially the private one to see the family, and my grandfather definitely agreed to do so. Since plane tickets there are so expensive if you don't book them early on, we decided that it'd be best if we didn't all go. The trip over there is also hard on my grandmother since her back always starts to bother her when she has to sit like that for so long, so she's not going to go with him. My grandfather decided that it would be the perfect time to take my brother, Zack, since he hasn't been there since he was a baby--and they're both leaving for the airport tomorrow morning! :D I'm really excited for him, because I know that he'll have a great time. (I'd have loved to go, as well, but I've got a trip to England coming up so I'm not complaining, lol.) It won't be the same without Don Ho there, but... he'll still get to meet Hoku and all of their other family members. They said that the memorial services will be a celebration of his life, so hopefully everyone will be pretty upbeat.

Aside from going to see them, they'll also be doing all kinds of other things while they're there. I'm so jealous! xD My brother's even talking about an excursion where you can swim with sharks, or at least view them underwater from a metal cage... and I certainly wouldn't put it past him to do that if he had a chance. He's insane.

Also, since his trip was coming up and he'd need something to do on the flight over there, he got a couple of early birthday presents! The first was from my grandparents, and it was a cool, blue iPod. I had a lot of trouble installing iTunes on our computer because we have dial-up, but thankfully Abby gave me some advice, and it finally worked. Melissa also sent us some songs that we haven't been able to find anywhere else, so we now have a lot of new music to listen to, as well. I love you people. ♥

The second gift was a PSP! Now, personally, I would've asked for a DS because I really want Pokémon Pearl, but like I said... he's insane. He wanted the DBZ and Star Wars games that were on it so badly. He also said that it was a good choice because you can watch movies and listen to music on it, which would come in handy during the trip. Oh, well. My mom said that I'll definitely be getting a (PINK!) DS Lite before my trip to England rolls around, so I've got that to look forward to. He'll regret his choice after he sees how much fun I end up having. ;D

My mom also said that if she and I can come up with some stuff and have a garage sale to make some extra money, she'll surprise him with a Wii (which will be partly mine, too) when he gets back--but that's only if we're able to find one! We're planning to take a trip to a larger city nearby, so we'll look around at a few stores then. I really don't think that we'll have much luck, so I'm not gonna hold my breath, but... you never know what could happen. I hope that we'll be able to get one soon, because I'd really like to be able to play Pokémon Battle Revolution.

As for other things going on, my grandfather and I have also decided on a date for my trip to England. I'll leave here on August 1st and arrive there on the 2nd, then leave on the 23rd. I had to find that out quickly because Mel's parents needed to know so that they'd be able to get off of work during that time to do some traveling. Eee, I can't wait! She and I have been doing a lot of planning lately. Apparently, between August-September certain areas of Buckingham Palace will be open for visitors, so we're planning to go there, too! Then to Harrods, of course... and several other places. She also mentioned going to see some country manors similar to the ones in Pride & Prejudice. I'm totally going to die of happiness when I get there. xD

Anyway, we're also currently working on a little manga together. She's been writing this awesome story about our characters on her site, and I'm planning to draw it all out and make it into a comic. It's been so much fun--the story is one of the best she's ever written, in my opinion. I can't wait until I visit her so that we can work on it together in real life. And speaking of drawings, I also finished a couple that I'm happy with. One is being used for my site, Pokémon Paradise. (You'll notice the tropical theme!)

- A fun day at the beach... or not.
- Orika, from Aozora POP

The girl in the second picture is the main character of a manga that I'm really into right now. It reminds me of something that Rindi or Abby would like, as well, so I have to recommend it. The storyline isn't very original or anything, but I love the artwork and character designs. It's so cute! A couple of the members over at the [info]ribon_wakuwaku community gave me a ton of images from it, and I'm officially in love. It hasn't been translated yet, but one of the girls offered to try her best at doing it for me whenever she has a chance, since she really enjoys it. ^^ I'm looking forward to it so much, and will hopefully be able to order some volumes of it sooner or later!

Anyway, now... I will close with some more good news:

THEY'RE MAKING A CINNAMOROLL MOVIE!

I can now die happily.

Well, guess who's back? :D

I have been so busy these past two weeks! My visit with Yuki went even better than I imagined--communicating was hardly a problem, and we had so much fun doing all kinds of things together. She could speak, as well as write in English really well, and was able to understand just about everything that I told her. I tried to make things as simple and easy for her as possible, so it all turned out fine in the end.

The only thing that was difficult was having to say good-bye... I still miss her so much. I'll go into detail about what it was like later on, but now I'll say that I'm still very sad about it. We both had to do everything that we could to keep ourselves from crying when we were at the airport--I finally did end up breaking down a little bit on the way home. ._. The same thing happened after Melissa left; I hate saying good-bye to such good friends, especially when I know that there's a chance that I may never see them again, since we live so far away from each other. It did help a lot to find a really sweet e-mail from her the next morning, though. I'll include it later on in the update!

Anyway, like after Mel came, I want to talk about most of the fun things that we did together, starting from the day we met. I wrote everything down each night, so it would be easy for me to remember. I'll try not to go into detail too much, but... you know, I have this horrible habit of ranting, so it'll be safe for me to say that this will be in NO way a short update! XD

Day One - Her Arrival )

Day Two - The Aquarium )

Day Three - Six Flags )

Day Four - Mall and Back to Grandparent's House )

Day Five - Just Hanging Out )

Day Six - Shopping and Other Fun Stuff )

Day Seven - Back to Japan... )

So... that's all I've got to say about the trip. It took me FOREVER to type that out, so even if no one actually reads the whole thing, I'm still proud of myself. XD I was never able to type all of the stuff out that Melissa and I did when she came, but I do have a journal that I wrote in every single night, so I've got that to look through. One of these days I'll re-type that, as well, and then make a scrapbook full of all of the memories that I have of meeting some of my best friends.

Pictures will be coming soon, too, right after my grandfather sends me the ones from his digital camera!

Okay, so besides that, there's one other thing that I'd like to talk about: meeting some more Japanese people that visited. :D You see, my friend Sadie was a host to three girls who were part of a group of exchange student that visited our town. They actually arrived on the very day that Yuki left for Japan, which was kind of disappointing because it would have been nice if they could've met each other. Still, Sadie wanted to introduce them to me, and I was eager to meet them, so she invited me to go to a special dinner that was being held for the students on their last night staying here. It was so awesome--I even saw some of my other friends, who were also hosts to a few of them! All of the students were just so cute and sweet... you couldn't have found anything rude about their behavior even if you tried. I just love how polite the Japanese are.

But anyway, we had a really nice time together. We ate a great dinner, and the students even performed a traditional Japanese dance for us wearing their beautiful kimonos, as well as sang a couple of songs. One of them was "Love Me Tender", and one of the guys even played a guitar along to it. I have a few pictures of them, thanks to Sadie, because she copied them onto a CD and let me download them onto my computer. These were all taken by someone else; I had to resize them because the originals were humongous!

Performing a Japanese dance

Cute poses! ...Er, except for the group leader, lol.

Singing for students at the school

After another performance; the other girl was an exchange student from Brazil

After the dinner and everything else was over, Sadie invited me to spend the night at her house. Three of the students were staying one more night there, so I was ecstatic! Their names were Hitomi, Kotomi, and Mika. It helped me get over some of the depression that I had been dealing with after Yuki left. XD We made one stop by my house so that I could gather up a few things to wear, and then we were off. After we got there and were ready for bed, we hung out in her room for a while. They actually gave me a ton of gifts--a calendar, coin purse, fan, lots of (cuuute) stickers, juggling balls and other things they use at festivals... and that's only half of it. I just can't remember what the other things were because my brain is about to explode due to typing so much today.

They also had a really neat Japanese girls' magazine called Popteen, which I looked through obsessively. It had tons of pictures of most of the fashion there--I wanted every single outfit that I saw. It's just not fair how adorable everything is over there! Besides that, I think that I really shocked them by knowing who the girl was on the cover. It was Ayumi Hamasaki, and as soon as I said that they all gasped and were like, "YES, yes! You know her?!" It was so nice to have other people to talk to (in real life, for a change) about all of the things that I'm interested in! They knew and loved everything that I did--Pokémon, other anime shows, Utada Hikaru, everything. (Yuki and I also sat and watched several anime shows on Cartoon Network in our hotel room. *dies from happiness*) I honestly had so much fun hanging out with all of them!

After I mentioned Hikki, one of the girls pulled out an mp3 player thing that she had, and showed me her newest song called "Flavor of Life". I haven't been able to stop listening to it since then. I downloaded a music video with the song on YouTube, but you can hear sound clips of it on her website. Both versions are really pretty.

Soon after that, we went on to bed, and then woke up the next morning to meet everyone else for breakfast at a nice restaurant. It gave everyone a chance to say good-bye to each other before they had to leave. Despite being a little sad, we all had a great time--my friends Pete and Amanda were even there! The student that was staying with Amanda was really sweet and outgoing, and best of all, her name was Kei... which sounds like Kay, so she and I giggled about that for a while. XD I ended up getting the addresses and name cards of nearly all of them, and I gave them mine, so I'm hoping that we'll able to keep in touch like Yuki and I have. I would really love that.

I actually didn't cry when they all had to leave, but I was still really sad. I wish that I could have spent more time with them--but hey, who knows what could happen in the future? In fact, after everything was over with, I was talking to my mom about how much fun it would be to be an exchange student... and she said that it sounded like a perfect idea for me, since I'm so interested in it! There was a lady there who was talking to me about the program, and she said that you didn't have to be in public school to do it. If I can find out a little more information about the whole thing, and save up some money before I get out of school, then it just might be a possibility. I'd really like to go to Japan if I did that--more than England simply because I'll be going there later on this year. (But it would still be my second choice!) It would be awesome if I was able to go to Osaka, where Yuki currently lives in order to go to college, and I was able to meet up with her there. I'm all for finding out more information about this!

Anyway... I have to shut up now, lol. This update made up for a ton that I've been too lazy to type up in the past, so don't expect another long one for quite some time. XD As soon as I'm able to get some pictures from Yuki's visit, I'll post a few in one of my future updates. There are also some other things that I don't feel like mentioning right now, but I'll include them next time! One will make fans of the most adorable Sanrio character extremely happy. :D

I can't believe it, but she's going to be here tomorrow! :D Eee, I'm looking forward to meeting her so much. Even though it'll probably be a bit difficult to communicate, I'm sure that we'll have just as much fun as Melissa and I did when she visited. We've been busy trying to plan all of the things that we'll be doing together, and have finally decided on shopping, going to Six Flags, the Dallas World Aquarium, and the zoo. She'll only be here for a week, so along with simply hanging out at my grandparent's house, we'll be very busy!

On a totally different-yet-similar note, I've been talking with Melissa and my family members about my future visit to England. The best news is that, after my grandfather heard that I was planning to go, he said that he'd get my plane ticket for me. ^__^ I couldn't believe that--what a nice offer! Of course, I wouldn't want him to have to pay for all of it, because I've been saving up for that myself... but even a little bit of extra money would really help. I appreciate his kindness so much.

Melissa also told me that her mother suggested that I stay there for three weeks, instead of two! ASDFGHJKLOMGYAY. XD That would be wonderful, since I'd probably end up spending the first week trying to adjust to all of the changes, anyway. That has only added to all of my excitement right now.

But anyway, I better get off! There are still a few things left that I need to do before going to bed. Yuki's flight will be arriving here later in the afternoon, but I'm leaving with my family sometime in the morning so that we'll have plenty of time to get to the (huge and confusing) airport and find the right place to meet her. I'm praying that everything will go really well...

Since I'm planning to stay off of the computer while she's here, I guess I'll see everyone in about a week! :3

Less than a week to go!

Anyway, I just finished making what I think is probably the best banner and avatar set that I've managed to come up with so far. Since I don't even have Photoshop or PSP, it's nothing really spectacular, but I'm personally proud of it. XD I've finally figured out how most of the (extremely limited) controls work on the program that I do have, so... maybe that's why I'm making a big deal out of this, hah.

I'm really anxious to go ahead and use it at PC, but I just changed my theme not long ago, so I guess I should wait a while. Bah. :x

Yes, I am completely obsessed with the Eichi and Mitsuki pairing. Shaddup.

Besides that, I don't really have anything else to talk about. My mom and I went shopping for a while this morning, and so far I've bought a few really cute shirts to wear while Yuki is here. My favorite one is red, and has lace and a little ribbon that ties into a bow at the front of it. I just love it! The funny thing was that when my mom first saw me wearing it, she immediately said that I looked like someone from Pride and Prejudice. :D Oooh.

Well, I better go. I just felt like writing something random while I was bored. I'm about to head over to my grandparent's house with my mom and little brother, because my other one, Zack, ended up getting sick today while he was there (to help them out with some yard work and stuff) and my mom wanted to be there with him since my grandparents will have to leave early in the morning to go to some sort of meeting in Dallas. I'm pretty sure that she's also planning to do some cleaning while we're there, such as changing bed sheets and stuff, since Yuki and I will be staying there most of the time. Guess it'll be a busy day!

One more thing: I keep forgetting to mention that we changed the names of our dogs. XD; It was decided a long time ago... because we thought that they fit them much better. Mine is now Archie, and my brother's is Harley. Eep, it makes me think of that freaky dude on Pokémon.

I've got to get around to updating more often... I've been way too lazy about it lately. :x Although, I can say that I've been really busy these past few days, so hopefully that'll pass as a pretty good excuse.

First of all, I'm still trying to get over the fact that Yuki (my Japanese pen-pal) will actually be here in a little over a week! I've been trying to get a few things ready, such as a gift bag for her, before she gets here... but gosh, I'm still kind of nervous about a few things. It'll probably end up being totally different from when Melissa visited, since there's going to be a pretty big language barrier between us. XD However, I've been working quite fiercely on learning how to speak a few Japanese phrases, so I'm hoping that will help out enough! Since I do have two different books that teach the language, I'll always be able to look any words up just in case we get confused.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to it so much. ♥ I sent her a few brochures to look through the other day, and we've kept in touch and made plans through e-mail, so I think that everything will go smoothly. At the moment she really likes the idea of going to Six Flags, so I'm sure that'll be one of the places that we visit, and I'll recommend a few others such as the Dallas World Aquarium and the zoo. (She said that she wanted to see some animals, so those two places would be perfect to go to!) Medieval Times would be totally awesome, as well. The Switchfoot concert will be a no-go this time because she won't be able to change her flight plans, and... my mom didn't argue with that, lol. Aww. Maybe they'll come here to perform some other time.

So, most of my time lately has been spent babysitting and shopping. One day, about two or three weeks ago, I went with my family to a nearby city just to hang out at the mall and stuff. At the bookstore I found the seventh (last) volume of the Full Moon wo Sagashite manga. I was completely stunned because I didn't know that it had already come out here yet! But of course, I snatched it up immediately because I've read all of the other books and was wondering how it ended. In a way, however, it made me really depressed to actually buy it... because I wasn't ready for it to end so soon. It's one of the very best series of all time, but the manga is way too short! I know that everything fits together perfectly in the end, but I've still been left wanting to read more.

Anyway, I read it from beginning to end the night that we got home (even though it was late) because I was so anxious to know what happened. All that I'll say is... I don't think that I've ever cried so much in my entire life. T__T Gah, there were some parts that were just so sad, especially the ones that were related to Mitsuki and Eichi. It may only be because I'm a huge fan of the pairing, or I was just in an emotional mood, but I sat on my bed and sobbed myself to death while reading the whole thing. Arina Tanemura has such an amazing ability to portray emotions through her drawings and everything that she writes. It really gets to you, especially when the series has many sad parts such as this one. And, even though there are some things that I'd like to change about the ending... it was still really good, although bittersweet. It moved me so much. Everyone needs to read--and watch--this series!

There's one more thing that I have to mention, and then I've got to go to bed. On a different day when I went to the same city with my grandfather and brother, I found two other things that I absolutely had to get. The most surprising was the first one. We were at Best Buy, and I was walking down one of the aisles (I was actually looking for the Full Moon wo Sagashite DVDs, since I haven't been able to find them). I passed a section where the boxsets of different series are kept, and even though I normally don't bother looking at them, I happened to glance over that time and something caught my eye. It was the very first thing that I saw... The entire 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries, which I've been wanting to see for so long! I completely freaked out, because I figured that it could only be bought in England. I just had to buy it, along with the Landon Pigg CD that I found. (Yay!) I've almost finished watching all of the episodes on the first disc, and so far they've been awesome. It has been so neat because the series follows everything that happens in the book almost exactly, and I've been able to learn so much more about the characters. I still love the 2005 movie with a passion, but due to the length of it, many things that actually happened in the book were not included. They still make it work wonderfully, but it's nice being able to become more familiar with the story. Both versions are perfect in their own way, though!

Well, I've really got to go now. Sorry that some parts in this entry sound kind of weird, but I'm being really rushed to get off and start getting ready for bed. I'll try to update at least one more time before Yuki gets here. :3 Bye for now!

Finally, the trailer for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ and Re:CoM is out! :D I snagged this from [info]cherubi and I must post it for some of my other friends.

SEE THE PRETTINESS. LOVE THE PRETTINESS.

I nearly died laughing the first time it showed Vexen... OMG LOL. O__O WATCH HIS EYES.

Marluxia's voice is even manlier than I expected--he's still going to intimidate me when I have to fight him, despite the fact that he has a head covered with pretty, pink hair. D: Noooo. I still think it sounds really good, though.

I can't wait to see more of Axel. ♥ And eee, Larxene actually sounds cute! So does Naminé. (I hadn't heard her Japanese voice yet.) Lexaeus, on the other hand... *gags*

And Final Mix+, it looks so cooool. Look at all of those pretty new cutscenes! Yayayayay. I can't wait until this game comes out!

I'd write quite a bit more, but I'm being really rushed to get off since we're about to leave, so I'll just keep this the way it is. I just wanted to spread the wonderful news. :D
