Oh I know. I had to wait for my first pay check from my new job to affort the box plus postage. Postage is ridiculous.
But! Presents!
The box is scarily empty right now. I had to take the biggest they have to fit the pictures in... Now it's all empty and you definitely need to make a wish. Btw... I realised I need to spend 6 months in an English speaking country of my choice. Which means if I choose wisely, I might be able to visit you. <3 Teehee. Which I'd like very much indeed.
Hee. I'm waiting for my grants to get straightened out. I think that I'll be getting about $500 next week, and that'll have to last until February, but, like, people! get ON it!
hee! um. i wish for something that doesn't weigh very much, okay? because they charge by weight more than they charge by volume, and i don't want you to spend more than you have to. do i owe you prints? did we ever figure that out? god, i'm an awful friend! so sorry, love. *loves*
also, why do you need to spend time in an english speaking country? that's so neat! you could do canada, like, or anywhere in the eastern us, and i could totally come see you. unless you wanted to go down to australia, where is where all the other fun people are.
They should so send you the money or I'll come and kick their asses!
I can send up to two kilos, but love, ask for anything you'd like! <3
And you're the bestest. It's not like I have been around all of the time, I kept pretty awful online hours. Jobs are stupid, they keep me from having fun. But as my cool Creative Writing teachers says: whatever pays the rent.
My studies require me to go abroad, huzzah! I suddenly like my uni very much. I'm changing subjects shortly. I don't think I want to become a teacher, so I will graduate with a Master in Englisch, which is just as well with me.
I was thinking either Canada or Australia actually :) But I want to meet *you* so I should opt for Canada. I think I'll check out the unis and decide then. <3
They'll send it eventually, but I was meant to have it nearly a month ago.
oh, god. um. can you - uh. what do you think i should ask for? hee.
i've had pretty slim (and bad) online hours as well - when i'm around of late, it's usually four to eight a.m. for you, and no one's on then. and yes, rent paying is important.
that's so cool, that you get to travel! check out the unis and stuff - i know a good many very cool people in australia that i could hook you up with, i suspect. when are you going to go, do you know? man. oh, you know what'd be the best ever? if you went to australia and i won the lottery and met you down there and that'd be so amazingly great.
um, in that imaginary world where i can do things like win lotto. *whine*
but look into stuff! that's so neat for you - i'm so pleased! (i'm also so tired and taking a nap - will reply more later.)
I like your plan of getting rich and visiting me in Australia. <3 You should really do that.
I can decide when to go - it has to be sometime during my studies and with a little luck I can make them accept all my previous classes, so I'll be almost finished with English. Whee. Which would be more than great. I don't want to think what I'll do after my studies. I just want to go on and on and learn more and more...
Heee. I don't know what you should ask for! That's why I asked you! I'm totally clueless, but I'd love to get you something nice!
*loves you*
Mmm, I hope you had a good nap by the time you read this!
I'd had a wonderful nap - The baby fell asleep on me as I was writing earlier, and I was like, 'hm, I should rest with her.' and then I did and it was lovely lovely.
That's really cool that you can just pick where to go. I hope that they take all your previous classes - It'd really suck if you had to redo things. Do you have to matriculate from an english-speaking uni, or just study there a while?
I have no idea what I want! Woe! Angst! *stresses out* Lemme think on it, okay? Once upon a time I was obsessed with German chocolate, but I don't eat much chocolate anymore. I'll try and think of something lightweight and inexpensive that I can't get here. *LOVES*
I only need to study there for a while. The whole stay has to be six months, but actually they don't care if I work or study or just do nothing.
Aww, love, don't stress. You have all the time in the world to think of something. I thought of chocolate first, but remembered that you once said you weren't that fond of chocolate. I think I'll still send you a small amount, because there is a factory in my hometown that makes rather nice stuff. And Craig Parker seemed to remember me very fondly after I presented some to him, so... yeah.
Sadly there are no non-food things my hometown is famous for. Well, except for the Townmusicians. But, um, I'm not going to send them. They're noisy, and animals.

Sadly, no. For this prize you had to think I'd fit in, but...
Now you're finally getting the pictures! And the newleaf magazines! And a present if I could think of anything nifty. Mmm.
*loves you*

I need to send you stuff, too, I just have to, like, get some money first. Which I will do shortly, I promise.
