Happy Birthday! I hope he gets his groove back soon... the things he's been saying recently make one think he could use some cheering up.
Also I've recently been complaining a lot about Bleach but will never cease to be thankful for all the joy it brought me in the past (and still does during re-reads of the early arcs).
I'm brushing up on my Japanese so that one day I can tell him that myself. but I need to save up some money before I can go to Japan. wish me luck ^__^
