Hm, your bed looks like mine does during exam period (I'm studying in bed and frequently fall asleep in the middle of it).
When my exams were over and my flatmate stepped into my room, the first thing she said: "Your bed looks so empty!" orz
Anyway, thanks for the photos! I love looking into other people's worlds.

When I am hunkering down in bed, I like to spread out anything I might need or want within arm's reach. So I will have a snack, a drink, iPod, books, pencils & paper, my laptop, the mini DVD player, and my current craft project surrounding me. And as soon as I snuggle in I will invariably have to pee. (-_-) My world is a very sheltered one, but I do not mind sharing it.

Your chapter is already long (by my standards, anyway). I would say stick with England's match for this chapter. I think trying to fit Russia's match in might take away from the intensity, simply because I have a short attention span and would probably not be reading as much into it there is a US/UK focus. And, if people don't like the US/UK, you can give them a warning, and it's much easier to just skip a chapter than it is to try and figure out where exactly to jump in.

I'm glad you found a job. Hopefully your life will start moving in a happier direction :)

Hanging out in bed is the best thing. That's where I tend to do all my writing, too :D

Well, compared to the other chapters in this story, it is a little short, but after editing and enhancing it will be closer to average. I really appreciate your input. I think you may be right that keeping two important events separate will make both have a stronger impact. I will probably warn about the US/UK overload, though. Not everyone likes it as much as I do. But more SuFin is yet to come. I haven't lost focus. Thanks for the support.

I love your Aizen-sama doll and his comfy lil nest on your bed. And your massive amounts of manga hasn't gone unnoticed ~_^

I also love your figurines in the last picture. I know they aren't supposed to be the focus but I couldn't help it LOL. I want the one of Gin! Lucky ducky.

Those flip flops look ultra comfortable. When it gets warm again, I think I may get some like that. Dang Old Navy's flip flops aren't very comfortable at all D: But they are so cute!

Cappy-poo is very beloved. I haven't slept without him in over 3 years. I intentionally posed booze with villains so it is okay for your focus to go there. Good guys are just far more likely to be teetotalers.

Oh, and you definitely should get Teva flip-flops. They are a little expensive (like $24) but I have had that pair for two years and I wear them a lot. They are so sublimely comfortable that it is well worth the cost.

You guys can't buy hard liquor at grocery stores in DC?

How weird! Where do you buy it, then?

We have to buy it at the ABC store, which is closed on Sundays. It's patently outrageous.

I don't know what an ABC store is!

Liquor laws are so silly haha.

Yay Liz!

I'm happy that you've found a job and are applying to JET.
I'll be applying to JET too! It's part of my backup plan--can't have enough of those. A few of my friends from when I was in Japan are also applying to JET! We'll all have to cross our fingers.

In other news, when my parents picked me up from the metro they said that you were on the 4 o'clock news. They said you looked very cute and were very poised during the interview ^^
やったね〜〜〜〜〜リズちゃん

Oh god, the news thing. I am sooooo embarrassed. (T^T) I have a strong feeling that you will get into the JET program and I will not. That is going to wreak havoc on my self-esteem. No offense to you, but it might be hard for me to muster joy when it happens.

Don't be embarrassed--they thought you did well ( ... )

You probably haven't seen it yet, but I apologized for my mean jealousy in another comment. I am really really sorry. You deserve all the good things in your life and I probably deserve my own lack thereof. *hughughughughug*
