She lived in the Fair Forest, where many trees grew, food was plenty, and she could fly free. The gale had the prettiest song voice the world had ever seen too. One night in late winter, the gale fell out of the sky, for she had not sung at all that day and it angered the creator of birds, Ralo, who enjoyed her voice immensly.

-I could do any anime character, pokemon (up to 3 pokemons for the price, each additional pokemon will be $3  after that)
animal, realistic portrait, or anime style portrait. just not Hentai or too sexual. (sexy is ok)

I would love to go next year too if I could get a table.

by the way, I used China town bus to go State collage from NY,
which is 4hrs drive, and the "bus" came to NYC china town to pick me up was not even a bus,
but an old tiny van with no heater no restroom.
and then, the guy sat on next to me was pretty stoned,
dancing with his iPod volume so loud, yelling at his phone,
or talking to himself for the entire drive way.
and then, the back door of the van opened up in the middle of a road,
and the package was almost fell off from the van.
IT WAS CRAZY!!!!!  
if I'm going back to PA next year, I would love to drive.
well, I gotta get a car license first, lol
