Joe's going for the "hardcore" stuff..
I gotta go find that Next King drama CD tomorrow. (^_^;)

Maybe she wants to keep it a secret that she can read
your pages.. and all that stuff you wrote about Aya.. (^_^;)

| I'll definitely have to put her to the test next time I talk to her...

Reading and listening are two different things..

Also, I don't think anyone mentioned it yet..
but I got a postcard from Machiko.  (a pre-printed postcard)
