ehh, forgot to delete the tea post from my journal. I fail at LJ, so I have to make practice posts. Thanks for the well-wishes though! How've you been doing?

Hey there, belatedly!

Been pretty busy with work, trying to adjust to the branch head lifestyle... >_>; Management = not my strong suit. But I'm dealing with it!

I finally read the Naono Bohra scanlation you got your icon from--fun read! She's an endearingly wacky mangaka.

Meanwhile, you've been missing out on a sweltering couple of weeks here. I'm sure you're heartbroken to hear it! I didn't make it to yesterday evening's Meetup... too tired, too hot, and I had work the day after. I hope Jeff got some sort of turnout!

Well, laters! Have some pavlova on my behalf. ;-)

Eh, sorry to hear that work is tough. But at least it getting easier.

I've joined the LJ Naono community, and found some that I didn't have before. Did you see the zombie one? I can't believe she went there O.o

I caved and bought a copy of Yoshinaga's Ichigenme, even though prices here are terrible. It's one of my top 5 yaoi EVAR, so I had too. So worth it :)

While you have heat, I have mild temp and gentle rain :P I hope there was some turnout for the meetup too. I don't want it to die!
