Shinny,

Merry very late Christmas. Sorry this took so long to get to you but I just got the last of the bugs worked out on Christmas Eve and then I had to make half a dozen of them. But I hope you like. I hope you're enjoying Japan with Pat (don't do anything too naughty or you might not want to come back).

Love,
Lib

Par,

Sorry this is late but the battery was giving me fits and I wanted to make sure it wouldn't blow up before I sent it.

Hales,

I'm freakishly late with this...sorry. But I wanted to give this to you for Christmas not just randomly and I just got the last of the bugs worked out on Christmas Eve.

Derry,

Sorry this is late. But the good news is that I did get it figured out. Largely thanks to your suggestions.

	Lib, Brilliant gifts from a brilliant girl, thank you so much. Does a visit to a love hotel count as too naughty? Pat came up with a great idea of a group jaunt to Japan in the Easter hols, so leave your calendar open. Besides, my cousin's friend, Tomo-chan, says he thinks you're 'kawaii' and he'd love to show you his special places in Tokyo. Love, Shin (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think that's just naughty enough. Consider my calendar cleared. Who is this Tomo-chan? What does he look like and what the hell does kawaii mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A much more alert owl ssuzuki 2008-09-06 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Good to know. This is Tomo-chan and kawaii means cute. He's doing science with a course in Robotics at Tokyo university so he was very interested in the experiments you're doing (he knows about magic because his sister is a witch). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tomo-chan is pretty darn cute himself. Robotics? That's actually really interesting. I know that Japan has made some huge strides in roboic technology, things that aren't even really known about in the west. I can owl him my notes if he wants to look at them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He'll be very pleased you think so. Yes, his great-uncle made some great strides in robo-tech several years back and that inspired him. He's very bright, sometimes the things he talked about went over MY head. Do so, he would like that alot. His full name is Akira Tomosaki. Tomo-chan is just his nickname.

	Sounds like an interesting conversation if it went above your head because you're the smartest bloke I know. I think I will. He might have some suggestions for improvements. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think you'll find I'm not that clever around these Tokyo University types. I'm sure he will, he was very interested in what you did with the music players. See you at school soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't imagine you ever not being one of the smartest people in the room. It's just wrong and makes my world feel all wonky. Would he want a finished example? I mean it doesn't really make any difference if you aren't magical but maybe his sister would like it or something. I'll save seats for you and Patrick on the train.

It's a humbling experience, and likely necessary otherwise my head would swell up.

Considering that the one you sent me almost disappeared to get tinkered with, I think he'd be thrilled to get a finished example. Tomo is quite open-minded about the magical aspect, he kept saying how he thinks it's a shame there isn't more sharing between muggles and magic users.

Knew I could count on you!

	Libby, I don't even have words. This is brilliant, absolutely amazing--and I won't be able to hear anything you say from this point on as my ears will be filled with music :-P I...Well, I..appreciate it very much. You're...a really good friend to me. Whatever, Haleigh. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Have you had any troubles with it? It's still working, right? You've been a good friend to me too, Hales. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Libs,

It's all right, I was having some difficulty with your presents also. I couldn't choose between the two, therefore, I am sending you both. They make me think of you.

I hope you that you've been enjoying your hols!

Your friend,
Parry Goldstein

	Libby, Thanks so much! I actually think my Dad is a bit jealous. He keeps eyeing my shirt like he wishes it was his size. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Actually, I had a rather similar idea. I hope you like yours as well. I thought it was rather appropriate. enclosed is a shirt that has this logo on it. (Reply to this) (Thread)
