Hi there, Sam!

It's been a long time knowing you; I believe we started back when Reborn!! was still going strong, and look at now, it's ended (though not really nicely).

I hope that college has been treating you well and that you continue to keep up the good work and enjoy yourself there. Your progress throughout the years have been really inspiring to watch and I always enjoy reading your updates. On that note, you should update more. I love the way you write and it's just generally enjoyable reading your entries and hearing about your adventures in German/Mandarin/Russian!

I hope that 2013 will be a good year to you, and that you manage to continue doing what you love. Good luck with college! ♥

Love,

Kris

2012 doesn't seem to have been a terribly good year for you, but I believe that it's great how you managed to pull through it. I know that there has been a lot that has happened throughout this year, but in the end, you managed to trudge through it all. ♥

Hopefully 2013 will be/will have been a better year for you, in every aspect of your life. Hopefully things will have settled down for you! I hope you manage to do whatever your goals for the new year's are by the end of the year.

Let's kick 2013 in the butt! ♪

Jiejie ♪

Since you're starting school in the new year, good luck! Work hard and become a great law clerk! I hope we'll still stay in touch and -- on that note, you should update your LJ more often or something ; ~ ; [or DW, you know]

Anyway, 2012 has been... I don't know, quite stressful (?) for you what's with your mom and job and trying to just figure things out but I'm glad that you now have a direction. Welcome back to join us with the late night cramming and huge procrastination, hahaha. ♥ I hope that 2013 will be better for you, and especially since it's a new beginning with a new major/area of study for you, it'll be interesting... Just, make sure to take care of your health, yeah?

I'll see you again next year!! <3

Love,

Kris

Hey baby,

This year has been really rough on you, especially with the recent events. I just want to let you know that you deserve so much better than that and that i hope you can find happiness.

Also, I hope that in 2013, you manage to be more lenient on yourself. I'm not saying that having high expectations is a bad thing, but too much and it'll really stress you out and make you miserable. I hope that 2013 will treat you tons better and that you'll have a generally more enjoyable time doing what you like to do!

See you again next year ♥

Love,

Kris

Hey there!

It's been a while since I've talked to you but you're a very sweet person and I know things are rough and I only wish for the best for you. Stay strong! *big hugs* ♥

Hi, John!

Seems like 2012 has been rough for you. I hope that 2013 will be tons better for you and that you manage to do things that you enjoy and that you want to. Hope you will have a great year. Aim for the stars!

That said, I hope we continue to be friends again for the next year! We may have differing interest but I always enjoy reading your entries -- also am planning to watch Once Upon a Time sometime soon so yeah~

Have a great Christmas and enjoy 2013!

Kris

Hey there, Taka!

I know that for the next upcoming year you'll be choosing your major for university. I hope that you don't stress out about it too much! What can I say... In the end, you have to choose something that you know you'll enjoy doing because it'll just be miserable to continue onto 4 years of studies when you don't even enjoy it. So i hope that for the first half of 2013, you manage to explore yourself and hopefully gleam some insight as to what you think you might enjoy doing! Don't put yourself down too soon, things are not set in stone and they will always change. One major can lead to a job in a totally different area, so don't restrict yourself! But make wise choice nonetheless.

Other than that, what can I say? You're done with A's and the stressful part of your life has been over! I hope your results are satisfactory and that you'll be able to get where you want with it. Take some time off and just enjoy yourself after putting in such hard work for the past two years. 2012 has been stressful, what with preps for As but 2013 will definitely be a more relaxing year, hopefully.

That said, enjoy yourself! And I hope you do explore more of the things that you want to do and figure out your major!

Love,

Kris

at first i started writing in english but then-- wait, yeah, you would understand me. ~~if only i could taunt you by typing in arabic~~ that would probably make you cry huh

I'm really glad that we got to meet this year because you're a very kind person who always seems to cheer up everyone around you! You look out for both yourself and others (mature hapusan so cool), and you get really cute when you're distressed☆ I hope you're still super cute now☆★☆

Oh yeah, and you're the only person so farwho has ever gotten me so flustered that I had to get up and physically leave the house. Whether that's something to be proud of or not is up to you to decide.

Anyways, I hope 2013 was a good year for you. And I hope you renewed your Visa already. Listen to the advice you gave yourself, alright!! May you forever be the wonderful hapusan that's loved by everyone~ take care, precious☆ (honey★) (dear☆) (i can't think of any more embarrassing nicknames dammit) (was this entire post embarrassing enough or do i need to do more)

love & kisses, kaga ( ˘ ³˘)♥

As a messenger from the past, I have only a few things to say and ask. But watch this become a wall of text (or perhaps not, for I am from the past and have no knowledge of the completed post and what it will look like) and I think with that I've just confused myself. Off to a lovely start!

KAGANEESAN. I do hope you continue to be a ~fabulous~ and ~utsukushii~ big sister to me (and if you don't then I apologise for my future self's insolence and hope she makes up for whatever idiot maneuver she has pulled).

IT HAS aLREADY BEEN TWO?? ALMOST?? MAYBE THREE?? (I can't count) YEARS AS OF NOW and woweee it will be even more by the time you get to this. HA. Do you feel old yet? The me of this time is merely 16 and laughing at your oldladyness (and its ok, you can tease the tsuji of your own time for it too, for she will be old and wrinkly no doubt).

Hum! This year, I can thank you for showing me the way of Inazuma. and Danball. Yes, I have only started this year (wow!! Last year it was Pandora Hearts. Why must you show me such painful things).

~~Oops I've already rambled more than I intended to.~~

I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL, in whichever year you choose to look at this on! although I am sure that if you are not it shall be because some mangaka or producer or writer or something has decided to go on a feels-massacre and kicked everyone's feelings over and off of a cliff. It seems likely.

You've been lovely this year!! and more!! It's been an aweseome pleasure knowing you, of course, and wow I forgot what I was going to say in the middle of writing this sentence buT THE GIST OF IT IS THAT YOU ARE PERFECT I'm so glad we are still friends.

And now to the questions;
ARE YOU TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF?
ARE YOU STILL WAKING UP AT RIDICULOUS TIMES IN THE MORNING TO WATCH ANIME?
ARE YOU STUDYING WELL?

okay did you get all that? No? Yes? Either way; I hope life has treated you well in the time that passes!!

( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

oh my god this did get reallyl ong I'm so sorry

mirfackulous

Ah, I've left it too long and now there are only a few more hours until the new year. well done, self (past self, that is)!

This year has been good -- and bad. You've done some pretty stupid things this year; trusting too much someone who shows you kindness and then just not trusting other people enough. Look at how well that has ended up (granted, not bad in other people's eyes, but a bit of a ship wreck with yourself. Bad. Don't do that again.) I do hope by now you know better how to deal with people. And even though your judge of character is rather skewed, surely you've stayed strong as before.

Studies... studies studies studies.... you will have found out where you're going this year, right? For university, that is. Or perhaps you're already at university. I like to think you're at the university we want to go to (cough, cambridge, cough). I do hope to goodness that you've learned how to revise by now, or else your exams would have rather unfortunate outcomes.

A levels? those things? are you done or what? If it's 2014 now, it'd be a no, but you're halfway done.
Ah, you wouldn't have exams in january anymore. How upsetting. h well, only time to work harder in the summer!

HAS YOUR ART IMPROVED? How are you doing with that?? poses need work, faces need work, colours need work, shading needs work. Everything really needs work, but there's only an upward route if you keep it up! You're doing art, after all (or have done). Good luck to you, if you wish good luck to me!!

I hope you manage to keep the friends you have! and to a good few years, and however long we live /o/!!

Edited 2012-12-31 16:40 (UTC)

Eli!! This is Kaga! How are things going for you now? Getting used to the *~*~*~*adult life*~*~*~*? (Feel any bit like an adult yet?) I hope that life's treating you well, and that you're not getting your butt kicked by homework.

You're a major cutie who is, like, seriously dedicated to your current OTP. I don't think there's anyone out there who is more dedicated, and that's awesome. And your art is major adorable ohhh man. Be confident in yourself! No matter what you think, you'll always be a great person and you shouldn't let anything get you down!! Focus on the positive!!

I feel like we totally didn't talk much in 2012, so hopefully we spoke more in 2013? Oh god, and I bet another new inaGO game is coming out now, huh? Good luck out there, kid. I swear it won't hurt for much longer... At any rate, here's to a good 2014! The future is bright, darling! o7

HIYA CHING I hope you've been doing well!!!! Honestly my memories of you from this year is pretty much full of butts. Lots of shota butts and Banmuffins. Banpuffs? Ban. So great. I hope you've been keeping up with real life, and let yourself splurge on pretty dolls and hot LBXs! ★

I hope to see you again in 2014! Here's to another lovely year with more hot screencaps of Ban. Ah, yes. (•˘v˘•) this was kaga over and out

Dina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you see all those exclamation points. That's how excited I am to see you. Future Dina!! Wow!!! Dina in the future!!!!!!!

Okay, I'll stop that now. I honestly can't remember if we met this year or last year (probably last year?? PRETTY SURE IT WAS LAST YEAR) but either way you're super great and never fail to make me laugh and you're generally awesome.

I hope life is going well right now! Keep your chin up and focus on the good of today. I hope you're staying happy, because you really deserve to be.

For a lovely 2014,
Kaga

Youuuu.

YOUUUUUUUU.

TSUJI-NEE HOW IS MY NEESAN DOING TODAY I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING G R E A T BECAUSE PAST KAGA IS HERE TO MAKE YOUR DAY EVEN GREATER d(`ω´ ）

Are you keeping up with your studies? I hope you're still not staying up too late. When you stay up too late, things happen. Are you still in an art class, too? Did you get a new printer that actually-- you know, cooperates with you? Also, how hot has your art gotten since 2012? I wanna know I wanna know ahhhhh I'M JEALOUS OF MY FUTURE SELF BECAUSE MY FUTURE SELF GETS TO SEE ALL THIS NEW HOT ART FROM YOU. q_q

Hmm, what happened this year? Oh yeah-- I'M GLAD THAT YOU JOINED ~~LEVEL 5 HELL~~ THE INAZUMA AND DANBALL FANDOMS WITH ME. It was gettin' lonely here, y'know? so lonely （´･3･`） sooooo loneeellyyyyyyy. Haha nah but I think it's really great that we always end up getting into the same fandoms together I MEAN C'MON FIRST IT WAS POKESPE AND THEN PANDORA HEARTS AND NOW LEVEL 5. We are connected by some sort of weird string of fate.

By now, we've known each other for 3 years, right? Maybe more?? That's pretty insane. ~~I'm not sure how much of tsuji-nee I can handle anymore~~ jkjk, I love you lots and I hope 2013 was a wonderful year for us ☆ And 2014 will be even better, I hope!!!

Don't stress too much over schoolwork, yeah? Make sure you get lots of sleep! And stay hydrated!! I'm looking forward to watching you get all old and wrinkly, like me, hehe. Anyways, stay well, my favorite bat lover~

xoxoxoxo,
Kagajj (´・ω・`)

Hiihihiiii Eeellliiii (look it rhymes look how witty past!Tsuji is).

Look! It's a past!Tsuji and she is here to remind you that we only met this year! (or, uh, '12 from where I'm speaking from). Same difference, though, right? Hopefully you remember me.

If you really need reminding, though, this may help jog your memory a bit. Probably. Or maybe it will bring back painful memories of your time at the hands of deadlines and coursework and all-nighters. (dude I hope this link works now because I don't actually fully remember how do html).

Has this year been treating you well??? No more last second deadlines, or maybe so. Perhaps you finally invested in a planner and motivation shots. Perhaps not.

Either way, I do think that you ought to have time to relax as well! It's really important; just as much as working! (although, that doesn't make it more important than working).

I'm super glad to have met you!! It's been great talking to you and rping and allsorts!! Even though it started off as inazuma and is still predominantly inazuma TheRE HAVE BEEN OTHER THINGS I think (Elmo that counts right).

is that okay for you? yes? good because here is a ticklist 4 u.

☼ TAKING CARE OF MYSELF
☼ KEEPING UP WITH WORK
☼ NOT GETTING (too) STRESSED
☼ INAZUMA
☼ HAVING FUN

okay I swear I wasn't going to tl'dr at you but I did gomen.

HAVE A LOVELY '13, '14, '15 AND TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!

( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

just so you know i had to remember my pw (and confirm my account?!?!) for dreamwidth for this!!

i've no frickin idea how long we've known each other, but wouldn't it be really cool if the next next (next year? right now? i don't understand time) time you read this, we're still friends? not saying that i'm planning on ditching your ass any time soon. i'm just saying that things happen, and sometimes it's bad things and maybe i won't be here anymore, or maybe you won't either. what a downer note. (￣￢￣ ) i don't even remember what i wanted to say about this.

i don't even really know what i'm typing at this point. it's all free-style slam-on-the-keyboard-the-first-things-i-think-of hardcore message writing. you better not think this is moe...

it's probably been like 5 minutes since i wrote that last sentence, and i still really don't know what to say to you. i could try to give you a coffee break talk. like

"People only grow stronger little by little, by encountering different situations and learning not to run from them, no matter how frightening or daunting they may be.

Hapu, that's exactly what you've done to grow strong.

[etc., etc.]

You've come a very long way."

ok im quoting the mother3 coffee break there, kinda sorta.

but really, maybe i can't really think of something to say to you because i think i'll have all the time i need to tell you what i'd ever need to tell you. i can't think (or don't want to think?) that eventually there'll be a time where we won't talk anymore or a time where either you or i don't exist anymore. like, it's really weird thinking that there could be a time where we won't be friends anymore, you know??? i think i just said that twice, but whatever. let's move on with this time capsule message.

let's hope by december 2013 or whenever the heck you read this that isn't in 2012, you and/or me won't be dead or something. and, also that i'm still bullying you B)
ok im kidding (kinda) *also that we're still friends, even if we don't talk as often as we used to months ago. thoooough that doesn't seem to be a problem to either you or me B)

also, remember!! if people tell you to act your age or if you ever feel like you should be acting "mature" or something dumb wazoo like that, you don't gotta! if you wanna cry, go ahead and cry. if you don't like something, just say it. you don't gotta eat certain veggies too if you don't want to.

even if another year goes by, and we're both 20, we'll still be 19, and 18, and 17, and it goes on really. what happens when we were 19 or 12 or 3 years old will never go away. when we're 20, we don't have to act like we're 20, even though people would probably prefer that we do. you can still keep having the responsibilities of a 20 year old, while slacking off and having fun like an 18 year old or while crying like you're 4 again.

also also, go to bed when i say so, even if its like 6PM where you are when i tell you to go to sleep.

p.s. i didnt mean to write a kinda long post. its the spacing, i swear.

p.s.s. i definitely like hinata way more than you like hiroto. sorry but it's a fact of life. B)

kagabutt! ♥ kagabutt OF THE FUTURE! are you a master japanese-er now? :'3 even tho we only met this year (last year?), we quickly dissolved into talks of posteriors and level 5 and CRYIGN.

you're one of them people whom i love seeing on my dash/TL! i hope we'll still be tight ~~like a shota~~ CHUUS UR CHEEK and rolls away - love, Ching

Hey, you.

Your past self is somewhat disappointed right now. Partly because she decided not to do the 2011 time capsule meme, for various reasons that we both know. All valid reasons. Talking things through and wishing yourself well wasn't something that was at the forefront, was it? Things were pretty low. Even if it's still that way, this year, at least that storm has passed, so I went to make sure that you have something to read, future me.

2012 went about as well as could be expected, y'know? You knew there was a lot of bad stuff coming, and it did come. But the important thing is you survived through all of that, right? And everything else that no one expected. A lot of things happened, with your brother, with dad, with your parents and their marriage, with your mental health... and more positive, or hopefully, your parents bought a puppy. Mayà is five months old right now. She's probably really big by now for you. Is she still greeting you with cuddles and kisses everyday? I hope so. It's nice.

How is 2013? I hope some things are better that weren't before. I hope karma has stopped being horrible to you, but if not, I want to give you a hug right now because I know exactly how horrible it feels when nothing goes right time after time after time. You'll be out of university now, fingers crossed. Did your dissertation go okay? Your past self hasn't really started it properly, as your past self is kinda stressed from this current term in general. I'm looking forward to a break, though I have to finish this essay that I got an extension for due to being sick. It should be done soon, then I can relax. Or well, hopefully. But yeah... I hope you did something you can be proud of. It's a good topic. It's a topic you love, so you should do fine. What are you doing now? Are you still living at home? Did you find any jobs or have a definite plan of what you want to do? Heh, curiousity. But really self don't feel bad if you haven't accomplished these things. The world sucks in this department and we both know it. Just... questions to help you think about things, I guess. Anyway. I know there's a couple of options and ideas you had for future things which would mean waiting until 2014. Have you pursued any of those, and are you going to if you haven't got anything to do? I hope you decided what to do about going to counselling or not.

Let's talk fandoms. By this of course I mean games, because I think we'll always love them. Lightning Returns should be out for you... did you manage to get over your aversion to the playstyle? I hope so. I hope you gave it a shot. How was Fire Emblem Awakening? It feels like I've been waiting for forever, it really does. Any surprise announcements?

Lastly, since I'm sure I could always use the reminder.

You are worth looking after.

Your health, physical or mental, is more important.

Ignore anyone who says otherwise. Don't feel bad if you don't do anything all day and give yourself the day off and do things that make you happy, whatever they are. Really, ignore that if they say it's stupid or useless. Giving yourself, well, ourself, time is important and I really hope you still remember that.

So... yeah. Take care of yourself. You are worth it, okay?
♥ Past you.

Hello Hapu! This is 2012!Eli! Given we haven't known each other for very long as of this writing, I'm not really sure what to say! But I'm glad we met, and I hope we'll have been closer friends by this time of reading~*~*~*

I really admire your art a lot! So as a closing note let me just say you're an inspiration! Hehe, I know you said you can't handle compliments but DEAL WITH IT.

Hope life's treating you well! And keep safe!

yo yo yo Kagaaaa this is 2012!Eli reporting! I'm super glad we got to meet this year, yanno? You're right, we haven't really chatted an awful lot as of this time of writing, but you're such a cool person I'm glad we're at least mutual follows on Twitter and Tumblr! You were one of my earliest followers on tumblr so and I was just ?????? WHAT DO I DO We can only grow closer here! ~~from our commiseration over L5~~

Who would've thought we could chat so freely, huh? The Internet is a wonderful thing. uwu I'll admit even if I'm a little bit older than you, when we talk it feels a little like chatting with a classmate I admire. You're kind and funny ~~and it's fun to watch you freak out~~ and I'm just really really glad you're my friend! I'm sure many others must feel the same way. I hope we've gotten to know each other better by the time you find this old thing again.

Keep being sweet!

SUIKA MY DEAR SUIKA this is 2012!Eli!

Remember the days when we were in the same timezone!?! I actually really looked forward to whenever I got home during those days ;w; I'm so very very glad we met this year. You're such a darling and you don't let me do whatever I want and that's fantastic because I obviously needed someone to keep me in line huhuhuh. We bonded over a lot of silly things, didn't we? Like us normally being healers in videogames, our shared love for Wally, etc etc. And we can't forget the great despair upon Neppuu/Raimei. Also I vaguely recall somehow earning the name Jugenosuke. ~~I'M SURE THERE'S MORE I FORGOT.~~

How has 2013 treated you? If it kicked your butt too badly tell me so future me can toss the lemons back at it. I will be your protector!!! By this time you're blossoming into an adult, right? Even if you complained about homework a lot back in 2012, I watched you survive each time and I can't help but think you're super diligent and strong! I hope you haven't lost that shine! Because I'm pretty sure I had when I was your age wow I sound like an old fogey tl;dr if you need a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, I promise my 2013/2014 self will be there for you!

I love you, Suika! Here's to our great--and can only get better--friendship! Cheers! ☆

SO INTERNET DIED ON ME WHEN I POSTED MY LETTER SO HERE I GO AGAIN.

Hello bb~

♥

There, a heart! It represents how glad I am that I have met you. Well, not physically but LET'S MAKE THAT HAPPEN SOON, YES???

2012 was a happier year with you around. I should say that I admire your drawings (even if I'm not really sure who Kidoy is or if I'm even saying.....spelling.... whichever... it right) and wow you Chem. I hope that we become closer as the time goes on. And I hope by the time the 2013 time capsule meme appears I can still share with your awesomeness.

Taiga loves you chuu♥

- Ingrid ♥

JJ ♥

I am so glad I finally got to meet you and talk to you because I was just creepily stalking your Tumblr and seeing your handle name on Twitter but now we're friends so yay ♥

I remember that one time I stayed up alternating between doing an Advert paper and breaking my heart all over an OhgoJima log (that we will make happen somewhere winkwink) and how you were there when I was having feels on Twitter. Our muses should get virtually drunk together or smth.

I think you really are an awesome person and I admire you from afar (cue creepy BGM please don't impose a TRO on me). And I hope 2012 has been a nice year for you, and I hope 2013 will be even better.

Thank you for being a part of my 2012 chuu♥~

- Ingrid
