I love this, because when you wrote it on facebook, we'd just been doing youtube videos like a day before, and a bunch of them just reminded me of us and you, and and us and you. That is, some of them reminded me of the four of us together, and some reminded me of just me and Aileena, and some reminded me of just you guys...but all good.
You and I share a lot of favorite things. It kind of makes me remember why we were friends in the first place!
And we decided to follow in your footsteps: www.katie-koivisto.blogspot.com. So far, we've enlightened the internet with a review of the Office season premiere and something about Pringles. Get ready for brilliance.
A lot of these things remind me of Japan!
Do you ever miss it? I didn't think I would when we went back to the US for 3 weeks, but I was surprised at how much I take for granted here!
