  8. AHHHHHHHH!!!! Have been away from computer the WHOLE day and have written this message THREE times on my iphone, only to have it disappear!!!!! Modern technology, gahhhh!

    Wanted to say: Awwwwwwww! My Assshhhleyyy! Thank you so much! *sniff* It's been a privilege getting to know you and your crazy world in the last few months! Thank you for welcoming me (and my even crazier world) into your life!
    You were the first book blogger who I got in touch with and you replied! Which really made my month!:D And thank you for all the lovely new authors and bloggers I've gotten to know through the website. I'm looking forward to more 'Kawaiiiii!' and nose bleeds moments with you, my dear, sweet, insane senpai! Although we may have to watch those nose bleeds as I fear anaemia is looming on the horizon!

    XOXO AD
