Ume took my idea...sort of. I was going to offer to buy it and send it to her as a Christmas gift. Of course, I would have needed a mailing address.

... *completely and utterly crestfallen* I just asked my mum.... she said... she said no. She said I can just get it out of the library. I can't get it. I've been asking for a year now, and she said no. I wanted it for Christmas. I wanted it for my birthday. And... I never got it. And now... she said no. Excuse me while my incredible hyperness turns to stereotypical, teenage angst.


... mad

Screw that. I'm drawing you a picture. I WEEP FOR YOU.
;~~~~~~~~; <3 T____T *sobs* It's only $17 stupid dollars! STUPID MONEY! D: *waves a $20 bill* I can buy it on my own! I hate the fact I'm not 16 yet, and thus cannot drive. ;;

Alexis Of Shadow, Touei, Ume Makoto, and Unromantic_Phantom: T__T Awww. You guys're the best... I TRIED to explain it to her. I TOLD her that it was "back by popular demand" and they weren't making endless copies like Harry Potter, so I REALLY need to go out and get it, before they run out, and do you know my mother's reaction?

"Oh, waaah. "Popular demand"? I bet you the same person- like you or something- just submitted a hundred letters about how great it was, so they decided to re-print, thinking a hundred people want it, when really, only... like... you do."

;; I am so full of angsty hate right now.

I would have offered to send it to Youko, but I dunno if she's giving out her address. I'm a bit leery of giving my own address, because you never know who will end up seeing it. I'm paranoid that way.

Wow. Your mother really is weird. That's messed up. I dunno how my mom will react if I ask her to preorder. I don't think I'm gonna ask though. *Shrug*

That's a good point. I just never think about such things unless my intentions are not pure, or unless I'm the one being asked.

*snorts weakly* Wouldn't that be funny if I posted my address here and got like... seventeen copies of Phantom?

Mailman: Erm... miss... I've got mail for you...
Youko: ...eh?
Mailman: *gives a huge create of fed-exed boxes, all the same size*
Youko: Oh, my... thank you.
Mum: D:< WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE?!
Youko: ...packages.
Mum: FROM WHO?!
Youko: Friends. *looks at one* Ume Makoto... *opens it* :3 PHANTOM!
Mum: DDDD:< I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NO! AND WHO SENT THAT?!
Youko: Alexis Of Shadow... *opens it* PHANTOM! :3!
Mum: *getting angrier*
Youko: Touei/'Seki! *opens* PHANTOM!!! =DDDD!!!!!!!!
Mum: DDDDD:< WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?! YOU'RE GROUNDED! YOU CAN'T GIVE OUT YOUR ADDRESS TO PEOPLE I HAVEN'T MET!!
Youko: *ignoring* Unromantic_Phantom! *opens* PHANTOM!! :333 *is surrounded by a pile of them now* *incredibly happy*
Mum: *ready to explode*
*Etc*

...that would be pretty funny, actually.

D: That's why my mom hates ordering online. I talked her into *coughforcedcough* buying me a Scifi movie. She was charged for it, but we never got it. @___@ So I doubt I'd be able to pre-order the book.

@Youko: *snorts* That sounds like some of the scenarios we've come up with regarding meeting.. XDDDDD

Touei: ^^ *packaging and addressing book*
Mum: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! WHO ARE YOU SENDING THAT TO!?
Touei: *ignore* ^^ *stamps* <3 *hands box to mailman*
Mailman: o_O Er.. *takes box* *walks off*
Mum: DDDD: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TALKING TO STRANGERS?! GO TO YOUR ROOM!! NOW!! DDD:< *angry ranting*
Touei: *oblivious to mother, goes to room anyway*

I've got the book already, so I'm not in any real need of buying the reprint. I was also lucky enough to get it before the prices sky rocketed. It was $20 when I got it.
