*hugs you*

So...can I ask you privately for something from Japan?

[queeninnarnia]

Of course.
*hugs you back*
So, do I have to go to SUN for a chance to see you before you leave?

we're going to try to set up a get together before the total move. So maybe not.

If you want something in particular from Japan, I'm living in Japan right now and would definitely be willing to pick something up for you.

I wish I could swing something like that.

Thanks!

I think it gets exponentially harder each year to do something big and life changing. You accumulate more stuff, more obligations, more ties.

Oh, awesome! I'm glad you're getting out of there.

I have a friend who spent two years teaching in Japan, if you'd like someone to grill about the realities. Just let me know.

Congratulations on making a decision, and I'll be emailing you soon. :)

Cool! I am very impressed and pleased (and a bit jealous). This only goes to show that bravery comes in small, intelligent packages. :)

Have the time of your life. These are the things that you carry with you forever. Go gather memories and adventures and experience and have a grand time doing it! (And keep in touch now and then.)

Yay!

And kindness comes in very tall packages. :)
Thanks!
