Hey, these are really good, Alice!
Jin's drawing isn't bad, I like it! Especially the shading.
And I like the colour in the Hana Kimi drawing!
Anyway, how are you?

orooo~?! @__@

im good thankyou! haven't spoken to you in ages!
how are you? im just in my second year of japanese, and i'm doing a little chinese as well. how is your japanese going? are you studying it full time now?
oh and btw, have you ever been to an expo before? like with sci-fi and anime and stuff? i might be going to the one in london and i wondered if you knew anything about it cuz im not sure whether it will be good or not. but i can't bring myself to cos-play LOL.
well anyway, hope you've got lots to tell me! xxxxx

Yeah, it's been too long since we've had a proper chat! D: Ah, chinese! Is that hard?
But anyway, i'm good and yes, i'm studying japanese full time and I think i'm doing fine with the language studies. Some lectures have been a bit hard, though, since they've been lectured in swedish, since we are basically students of University of Stockholm, but we're just doing our studies here in Vaasa. But our main lecturer is Finnish-speaking, so he uses Finnish during his lectures, so that's good.

I've been to some anime/scifi expos here, and I think they're great! There are lots of people to take photos of, i.e. good cosplayers, great atmosphere... But they're Crowded, and inside it'll probably get hot, so you should get prepared to that. But, those expos I've been to, haven't been very big, compared to those, for example, in the US or UK, so can't say much about those. But I highly recommend! Actually, I'm going to one next weekend in Helsinki. It's called Tsukicon. Hope this helps at least a bit. ^^

haha, i think jin is well recognisable, and L is always LOVE
but srsly, you always said kat-tun were ghay and stuff, but i heard from eveline that you actuallybought some book about them!!! and you are drawing jin! it is the first sign of becoming an actual FAN, you know! you cant deny it for much longer.... heehee.

lol, i don't remember saying that kat-tun were gay! i thought i always said i liked them????! well i have had their song as my ringtone for about 5 years now...haha
i guess i like them more now, because eveline gave me loads of their songs (probably from you) and i started listening to a lot of their stuff...at the minute i have an obsession with HELL, NO. (their english is so funnY!)
i might draw some more sketches like this as i'm not very good at riaru raifu and need lots of renshuu. i liked your bohemian pic a lot, it's so happy! i wish i could colour that well...
anyway, do you get much time to draw in Japan? I guess you must be very busy...
On an unrelated note I showed Eveline Anego so she understands our obsession a little more heh heh....do you think you're gonna try and see kat-tun live?

i remember you saying sth like they are so gay like with the dance n all XDDD idk... but the songs are so catchy arent they? OMG HELL NO i was super obsessed with it after it came out... actually i dont think the english is that bad in there and i learned a very important word from there you know (isshokusokuhatsu) LOL
please draw moreeee i love portraits ummm i cant draw because i dont have a printer, so unless i go and buy a magazine to draw from, i cant really and i dont have time or inspiration nowadays, as you could see the bohemian pic was the only one i uploaded from japan
ANEGOOOO! thats how i got into jin SUCH A CUTE SALARYMAN NOW ISNT HE. so adorable. anego fails at life for not choosing him xD

id love to see them live but its very difficult to get tickets (have to join a fanclub n pay loads, or risk yahoo auctions and even heftier prices), and tokyo dome is too big, not much point... id rather go to a smaller venue :S
sucks to be a fan of Johnnys groups, they all have such systems

barbi, i'm watching gokusen 2 and actually enjoying it *shock*

日本はどう？ I hope you've been scaring the natives!!! Oh yeah, you're actually a nice person unlike me - mwah ha ha...!
My evilness is rubbing off onto エビちゃん as well, as she actually laughs when i question Alex's sexuality, when in the past she just gave me a STERN LOOK.

Lol, how are your flatmates? is your uni what you expected? and is your hair falling out like the foreigner's guide to Japan has informed me would happen? i'm not looking forward to the tiny sizes of both shoes and clothes, and the ridiculous prices, but i'm sure i'll manage. i hope it's going well and the teachers aren't beating you to death with kanji (too much, anyway)

i took too long to reply, ゴメンね。。。
alice、 stop making up japanese words!

anyway i'll talk to you soon, 頑張って下さい！ or くだばい as they randomnly say in Gokusen.
また　ねええええええええ！

gokuseeeeeeeeeeen 2!
of course you are enjoying yabuki-kun hehehe.

i snorted loudly when you mentioned Ebichan's attitude XDDDDD LOL! i think she is stressed and tired, well at least im a bit worried about her but you live with her so you probably can tell better than me XD
uni is ummm all right. not amazing. i have no flatmates, just a room to myself... hallmates are OK though! and i just had the funnest time in osaka/kyoto!!! didnt wanna come back

my hair is indeed falling out still, i thought i told you... be prepared especially how long my hair is... its... shocking, how its everywhere! impossible to buy trousers and shoes so bring those, tops are OK cause they like baggy tops anyway, so if you buy L, its fine (well at least the tops i tried on or bought were)

and the kanji is sadistic, yes. but i think im getting used to it! as horrifying as that sounds. i feel like a machine
have you any idea about where you wanna go next year??
