Yes! I'm both excited AND nervous to see him! I kind of wish that the days will fly by faster so that I can go there already~ hehe.

And thank you so much for your comments! I tried really hard to make it look like Kagome was really crying and helpless~ I think I did a good job~ I've never really drawn someone crying like that before.

And OMG if you write more, you know that I'll read it. xD If you do decide to continue, TELL ME PLEASE!!! C; I'd looove to read it!

Oh, in this case, you really should read the first parts - Fuyu and Fuyu no Kokoro, and you'll know why it started out with her the way she was. As for this story, it was my first attempt at a Sess/Kag, and it's frankly, at least in my opinion, not my best. I think, The Flower Girl and Sweet Betrayal are my best Sess/Kags so far, though I was surprised to find that several ppl enjoyed Fuyu no Shimekiri, including Wiccan and Chaotic Reverie, who happens to be one of my fav authors. I just didn't think it was that good... but what the hey... I don't think In Death is one of my best, either, though it's my longest, and yet it keeps winning awards.

Anyway, I hope I don't embarrass myself too much as you read through this - I had a hell of a time getting a handle on Sesshoumaru's character. I think that's why I enjoy writing Sess/Kags so much - because he's such a challenge!

Personally, I enjoy reading your Sesshoumaru - I think you've got a firm grip on his personality, and I really enjoy reading your portrayals of him... I just started Wisteria, and I'm taking it slow, just to enjoy the lush characterizations - it's like the difference between a beer, and a fine wine. One you chug, and the other you savor.

Okay, now that I've taken up more space on your page than I should have, I'd better get going. Hope your day is a good one!

Amber and hugs

hahaha THANKS JASMINE~!!! XD I woke up really late (around 2pm I think?) and was preparing breakfast when my friend sent me an SMS saying I should check the internet coz there were rumors about the list of examinee passers posted online! And I left my breakfast to check on the net to see for myself. Then I saw this list on scribd.com and saw my name I was like: "wait.... is this for real?" (coz there was a prank a week ago from a well known nursing website hahaha saying: "JUST KIDDING, the results will be posted NEXT week" ) so yeah, I couldn't believe it (but my hands were practically shaking @_@. I found another website, this time it was our local newspaper's website and the same list was there so I WAS sure by then XD I had a spamming spree on facebook the whole day! haha And was spammed with calls and texts from family and friends. So this is how it feels when we pass a licensure exam XD I feel like Yue confessed his never ending love! LOL *impossible! hahaha*

I called my grandma earlier but she wasn't answering her phone (of course, it was past midnight hahaha XP) but my credit had a huge dent @_@ how come? lol it was only ringing like mad @_@

OMG, kidnapping Chibimaru would be the most awesome idea I've heard the WHOLE week! LOL of course we don't have to remove his scrawl LOL it makes him super cute a thousand times! XD And when we set our base in Japan he won't be treated as a slave LOL awww~ pampered Chibimaru! hahaha

Thanks for the fanart comments! My first sensei (back in 2nd grade - same age as me) taught me how to start drawing shoujo-style. And even if she was soooo young back then she knew exactly how to draw! XD I studied how to draw shoujo-ish style since then XD but I have problems with anatomy and poses sometimes. I always try drawing them in convenient poses coz I couldn't draw anything more complex T.T (will have to work on that XD)

Oh~! about Sesshoumaru's clothes being based on Chinese attire~!(I've just read your comment on my "Lord and Lady of the West" fan art) now I've read about it too once on wiki I think? XD His attire really suits his regal look! And I've always been a fan of Chinese folklore XD and their ancient Chinese robes~ SUPER elegant!

Sorry for the super late reply but I have good news~!!
I PASSED MY NURSING LICENSURE EXAM~!! XD I'm now officially a Registered Nurse~ XD Just saw the result earlier today~ So I was sooo busy informing all my family members~

Oh yes, I agree that henpecked men are kind of boring once you get sooo used to it. They won't disobey you or even TRY to do any form of revenge @_@ haha but you'll miss having someone to pick on~

Wai po, wo hao xiang ni? XD Thanks!! I'll make sure I remember that~ XD I'm planning on calling her tomorrow to share her my good news~

Yep~ I've always been fascinated with how beautiful Chinese language sounds whenever they're spoken. I envied my mom and aunt whenever they get to speak so fluidly @_@

OMG, I will GLADLY accept you and DestinyTear's offer~! Let's invade south korea's bishies!! And make Japan our base~! XD hahaha And Sephiroth giving us goodnight massage? omg, just tempting!! XD hahaha

WAHHHHH Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!! I still can't believe I'm engaged to some MALE instead of my beloved Jasmine! *sigh* But we must all move on someday... and you've got your American to replace me bwahahahahaha

Oh, I know Bleach! And it figures. The job fell to my super-smart MissTeak! They knew you would get the job done in a timely manner, and get the job done RIGHT. *firm nod* Oh, trigonometry... The easiest part of grade 9 math. The ONLY part that didn't make me want to hurt someone. I still wouldn't want to grade it though... *shudder*

yesyesYES, Thai massage was soooooooooooooooo aaaaammmmmmmmmaaaaazzzzzzzziiiinnnngggggg. The massage lady seemed to have it out for me though. She was rather scary. Just kept glaring at me the whole time. And I did the stupidest thing possible - I glared back. Damn contradictory nature of mine! That just made her even more angry.... *cowers* LOL, but I can understand the whimpering thing. I wanted to as well.

LOL! Nervous laughter is definitely the stuff of the devil, as are interviews. BUT I'm certain that they loved you! You're so freaking awesome... you have no idea

I must agree - that's certainly the only thing men are good for! That and paying for the shopping :3 LOL, I swear I'm not some sort of gold-digger.

O.o wow.. around here blue eyes are like omg-excuse-me-while-I-drool. It just shows the cultural differences, I suppose. But I'm glad he's nice and humorous. If you can get comfortable with him then I bet you would have great fun together! LOL, you noticed the German guy's lashes! Fun fact: when Siki was born, she had blonde hair and sea-blue eyes. Mhmm. The eyes turned green rather quickly, but the hair didn't start to get really dark until I was six or so. My lashes are still lighter in color than I would like. >:\ [/funfact] Anyway, your children are going to be gorgeous no matter who their father is! There's no way the beautiful gene could just pass right over the children when their mother has it so strong!

Pfffft, it comes as no surprise that you get asked out often, no worries, you don't sound conceited or anything Intelligent+great personality+gawjusssss=OMGIWANNADATEHER. Yep. I'm totally good at math. And it's good that you don't go out with them just to go out. That would be leading all your poor little admirers along If I've got a queue, you've got a fan club! I used to get asked out a lot in high school, but then everyone realized I had a boyfriend already and it stopped. The same process occurred my first year of college. I'm hoping the ring will deter such requests when I transfer.

LOL! Muffins are certainly too good to resist when on a diet. I'd like to evolve into a bikini-goddess as well! Darn those little bits of string showing off EVERYTHING. >:\

Never had a Starbucks muffin. Hmm... must try...

Yeah, bison is much better than cow and I think it tastes better. Or maybe I'm just sensing the lack of inorganic rearing? LOL. I do suggest trying it. Bison burger = OMG. And yes, I've had snake, but not in soup. What knd of snake? I've only had rattlesnake, and it's pretty okay. We cut it up into little bits and dry it for snacking later. That can make it a bit tough, but it's great if you boil it. It gains back all the moisture and is rather filling. Just a side-note - skinning snake is not fun. *headdesk* I giggled at your sugar high.

Wow! Respect for MissTeak's relative as well! I like the idea of the cards at the place settings. And every effort helps. It's my opinion that, while in long-ago times it was necessary, there's no reason to kill certain animals when we can easily get our food elsewhere. Like people that hunt for sport and don't actually eat the meat. It just bothers me because there's no reason that animal had to lose its life. At least eat the meat and pay a little respect to the animal you killed. Seriously. >:\

Speedy 30 design is my love. As far as other labels... hm. I like Coach seeing as they are relatively inexpensive as compared to French/Italian designers and good quality. I also love Chanel, Dulce&Gabana, and Fendi. I just got a new Fendi bag and I love it so much.

I can't really think of any others, but Im sure there's more! How about you?... I'm sure you've got some amazing taste! You definitely do so far!

Hmmm... I wonder what it would be like to haggle... and yes, it does really stink when finances don't allow for impulse-buy room.

YOU KNOW THE THEME SONG TOO?!?!?! I had a kid in for an appointment the other day and I was humming it. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS FROM. I was appalled. What kind of childhood is that? Will Smith is still amazing. I Am Legend made me want to switch places with Jada Pinkett. I love his ears. *giggle*

OMG *hides from red cheongsam ghost* That drama sounds like it would be very entertaining! To think that they met three times! But why were they shot? Poor lovers... I really like the theme song too! And I bet it would be great as a SessKag fic...

I love History Channel! Though I'm a bit sick of the fact that all they show is pretty much Nostradamus Effect-type shows these days. Some of them are interesting, but I'd like some real history on the History Channel now and again, please and thank you. Yes, I do watch Cities of the Underworld, but I'm rather partial to the shows they have on mythology and historical figures, such as Vlad the Impaler (watched it again today) That one about the world after people is a guilty pleasure of mine, too. *blush*

Since you've sent me such great songs, here's one I've been listening to that's wonderful! Have you heard of "Je t'aime" by Lara Fabian? Well, this girl sings it even better, though her accent could use a bit of work. I couldn't help but write down the chords and the lyrics for piano-time later!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAyQzJFFG90
The lyrics are beautiful, though I found it a bit strange that the lover was compared to a mother and a brother... sketchy stuff, that.

Ahhh... I'm so behind! How did this happen?! lol. I haven't even read Chapter 7 of Shanghai and you've already posted Chapter 8. I'm going to have to go and read it right after this, unless I happen to fall asleep. I don't know why, but I've been so tired lately and sleeping a lot. Still, I'm eager to see what the big twist is though! And I always hate writing creeps too, but it has to be done. lol.

I'm pretty excited about my Victorian Era story. I have my plotline and I'm doing a lot of research, trying to write out an outline, and thinking of a title. I haven't written anything yet chapter wise, but I'm excited and I want to start soon. I just can't seem to keep my focus and attention lately. Gahhh. I usually have such an easy time thinking of a title, but this one... I'm at a complete loss. lol. I'll have to go and read your Victorian Era oneshot! The first thing I thought of was vampires though, since vampires in the Victorian Era is lovely. Well, maybe lovely in a slightly morbid way? lol. I love reading about vampires and while I did enjoy Twilight, I like the dark, gothic vampires more than the sparkly modern ones. Hahaha. But BECAUSE of Twilight, I don't want to go into a vampire story. I don't want to jump on that bandwagon just yet. lol.

You've written 53 fics?! OMG, Jas, that's a LOT. I don't know which fic was your first, but I'm sure your English was good at that point. With all that writing, it's no wonder you've improved! lol. And yes, I was born in America. Though, if you want to get real technical, I was conceived in Taiwan.... LOL. I think you're thinking about someone else? lol. Since you seem to remember it in so much detail - but it's not me. I was born in New York City and I moved to Florida. Then I moved back to New York City and now I'm in Virginia. Haha. Well, if you ever decide to visit, let me know and stop by here; I could show you around. =]

So, what been going on lately - other than those awesomely fantastic fanfics of yours? LOL.

Wahhhhh~! Thank you soooo much for your awesome presents and birthday wishes! You make me so happy A perfect end to a perfect day!

..Aaaand I was going to wait for our regular wall-posties to tell you this, but I can't withhold information from you, love!.... Guess who's engaged?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WAHHHHHHHHHH. (It's me, in case you were wondering.) Now, we're going to wait until he finishes med school in a few years, but it's official! Ngahhhhhhhh so happy! *squeal*

I'm off to the land of nod, but I had to tell you that first! Thank you again for your sweetness! ILOVEYOU!

Oh. And Thai massage was nghhhfghn so goooood, but sooo bad... but SO GOOD.

School's starting now, but the school I was supposed to go to in Virginia (where I'm moving to) kinda screwed me over, so I had to fast break plan B and sign up for a college here in San Diego. I'm going to be taking all online classes so I can still continue my move to Virginia. I'll be there next month after I take a visit to my bf (I'm excited!). :3 I'm going to be majoring in Psychology~ Hopefully, I can become a doctor in the future If not, a teacher's okay~

JAZZ!!! Very pressed for time right now... and I will get back to your wall post as soon as I get some time!

Congratz on the WIN WIN WINSSSS!!! SO PROUD OF YOU DEAR! *does a fancy victory jig and jumps into a sky of floating hearts*

I will talk to you later, love!!

I don't know if I'm staying here for good, but I'm moving here for school. I'm in San Diego for now, but I'm moving to Virginia next month.

UGH. I DO NOT miss the heat anymore.. it's so very hot here today.. it went up to 98 and I felt like I was burning >.> uuugh, damn you sun! Even the wind felt hot and did NOT help at all when I was standing at the bus stop.

I love love loooove Shanghai and Chibimaru So different from each other but I love them!! And wheeeeeeeee chapter 29~! I'm sooo looking forward to it.
