Karen! I MISS YOU. Sorry I couldn't visit before I left. I ended up leaving a lot of people behind because my move date got moved up a week. I love you and stuff!
So, I'm somewhat worried about you, too. As far as your pet goes, I've called the SPCA. Expect rude knocking from large men at your doorstep soon. Part of the reason I am worried about you is because my MySpace does say "Now lives in VA" on it. Trust me. If I could visit you, I would! Miss you.
Man, I do NOT check my myspace enough. But then, you're never on LJ anymore, either! What's up with that, lol? Anyway, I'm going to be in moving flux for a while soon, so it'd probably be best if you just sent it home. Thank you so much for nabbing it! Hey, you're not leaving New York anytime in May, are you?
Hey! I sent you a friend request on LJ. I decided to make a completely seperate journal for all of my art stuff! So yeah, when you see the friend request from 'S0methingP0etic', that's ME! =D
Actually, I pretty much just leave myself signed on here at all times...dont know why...easier than signing off and on all the time I suppose. I guess I'm just that lazy. lol
But, okay, DH...I just got to page 621 and I had to throw it down!!! I'm TOO emotional over all of it and I'm scared to go on! Even if I do know the final outcome! I can't take it! Oh man!
I knew you would have by now too! Lacey finished it yesterday shortly after I added my previous comment. We both loved it too! I loved the Snape twist. Speaking of Snape, your song is too funny.... although I am a dork and do like Harry...lol. He is not my fav character though. I'm not sure who is actually. I did love Dobby (sp?) but could a house elf be my favorite character, I'm not sure lol. So sad to think there is not going to be another one...
Okay, I sent you a looong email tonight with my phone number and everything in it. You are right to be annoyed with me - I've been seriously lazy over here. Sorry!!! I hope I sent it to the right email address - are you still using setsuna27? I really hope so...!
Hehe...a sexy photo...actually, I just got a digital camera like, a week ago or something, and I've been playing with it a LOT. Because I always hate pictures other people take of me, so I figure I should try to take some ones I like of myself, lol. Oh, and I have a myspace identity issue, because I get the urge to change it like, every other day. Not kidding. And OH MY GOD - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PACKAGE! (I just got it yesterday!) The Harry Potter book is 100% adorable, even though I can only read it a tiny, tiny bit - my german is pathetic. And the cookies? Yeah, half of them are gone already. Aaaaand...I can't wait to watch HYD! Actually when I first looked at them I was like, hey, cool, Hyde music! ...And then it dawned on me what they actually were. So that is going to be freaking awesome, and I bet Sarah's going to be thrilled when I tell her because she's been bugging me about season two ever since I told her there WAS a season two. It's like, her favorite show. :D Hmm...I was up all night, so this comment is completely spastic...when are you back in the States? Has it been nine days since I read your last entry? I've been awful about livejournal...
oh man
I feel like such a loser
I totally talked to your mom on the phone like 3 weeks ago
wrote you a letter the next day- and seriously have not had time to get to the post office yet
it's pathetic I know
but I am totally ecstatic to hear from you and I owe you such an email update...
love love love to you and zach
<3 K
