Summary of a Jade-girl's absence (like you give a damn).

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yay, it's Jade! And Jade has a girlfriend! Double Yay!

Yay for cute smart girls with girlfriends!

[Iason Ouabache]

Welcome back, Jade. Stop disappearing.

Hi Jade, I remember you, and had noticed your absence. Decided I was never going to learn Japanese after all. Mourned your loss. Moped about for a few weeks. Got over it, though. Eventually. Practiced my new hobby of over exaggerating everything.
And still found time to give a damn. (Just not very much of one, I'm afraid  )  Glad you found your way back though. This place hasn't been the same wit . . . . .Actually, it has. And I still need to learn when to reign it in!

Welcome back!

I'm offended now.

NIHONGO DEKIRUYO!
