"The bird with a leaf in her mouth, after the flood all the colors came out, it was a beautiful day"

I have super happy news! Remember the health scare of the decade I got the other day? Today I got a check-up, and it turns out it was nothing! Just an inflammation of a lymph node that's already gotten away. Hip hip hurrah!!! If I could, I would buy you all drinks, it's such great news. *__________*

And these are the gifts I got for myself to celebrate (and because I needed a new jacket):



In those shorts my butt looks amazing, by the way. :D And as you can see I've officially started learning Japanese. Only kana, obviously. I absolutely love learning new languages, and I already have a basic knowledge of spoken Japanese. For the last month I've successfully played Kingdom Hearts Chi in Japanese and it's easier than I expected, so I thought I could start with that and learn to read basic words. I much prefer Hiragana, as it's more beautiful, but I've started with Katakana, because it's way easier and it's for non-Chinese derived words. ^^

And now I'm going to drink cranberry juice and listen to my #1 Celebration Song on loop and maybe get started on cleaning up the house because my aunt is coming tomorrow! \o/
