This is copied and pasted from an e-mail, she wanted me to post it, for those of you who don't know, Elspeth (aka: Elly) is my IRL sister and posted here for a bit, but then, through a foreign exchange program, is in japan, but anyways:

Hey everyone!! ^_^ Elly here! I don't know how many of you remember me, but, I decided I'd check in with the EC gang. Mostly I think people from #Rpcrest would know me most...anyways though... (Hiya Addy, Aeadil, Demitri, Ocy! ^_^)

Japan is the coolest place i've ever been, EVER.

Things are a tad bit expensive, but, bearable. I thought I'd be behind in school a lot...I kinda am, I'm in special ed MATH (>_> ) but other then that, I'm doing good in school.

Ladies: Japanese guys seem to dig American girls..I've been hit on so many times i'm getting bruises ^_^

It's really funny to see/hear Japanese versions of our music. You have not heard madness until you've heard japanese rap 0_0

Jap. Teens seem to also really like western clothes/music/TV. They're big into MTV here, no one misses TRL, hehe. But a funny thing, teens will wear shirts with english words in sentences that make no sense whatsoever! It's rather amusing. Speaking of English, the English teacher has had me teaching classes ^_^ I feel special.

Also, Anime is, for the most part, as much of a subculture here as it is in the good ole' USA. Granted manga is easier to find, but be careful, it's packaged to it's hard to see the covers mostly, so you don't know if you're getting Hentai or not in the backstreet shops.

Well, it's getting late and I have to study my bootay off! Oh, Ian (OP) has acess to my DAoC account (50 Cleric) he has permission to let people play at will, I dunno, maybe he's having to much fun with it.

BYE EVERYONE!

-Elly

Dude! Is she over there on account of a high school exchange program, or is she at college?

Anyway, that's... that's... where is that damn image?! Eh, it's DAMN SPIFFY with or without the image

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

High school exchange. Ian and Elly are twins. Ian is in high school. Just a bit of trivia for ya.

Hehe, glad she's havin' fun over there as we bore ourselves to death here.

Eveyrone knows they'll buy a shirt with any randon letter on it, thats why they have the "I hate myself and want to die" shirt

I recongnize the name but I can't quite place it to a sig pic.

Was she the one with that ninja girl from one of the Samurai Showdown games?

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Also, why would her being in Japan stop her from posting here?

"Oh, Sentow! I hated that bastard."

I remember her. She was cool. Say that Lenny says hi or something.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

It's not like Tae Kwon Do is a Korean style, or anything.

I wanna go to Japan.
I could have gone last summer, I even have family to stay with. But they dont speak English, and I dont speak that much Japanese... heheh, that could have been funny now that I think about it. But I may get the chance to go again soon (this summer or next.) so that makes me happy.

rofl, Ukyo kicks ass man =p

Anyways, the only time she can get online for personal things is in school, the students are allowed 5 minutes of personal time, this means she goes right to e-mail, since long distance calls are a bitch. She's gotten used to the Japanese Keyboard somewhat, but they have English ones for the English class
