Post subject: Who's the girl?

Warning: you may need to know what H!P is...
Guess what! I have a long story to tell and it all began last May/June...
While supposing to be revising for my big exams I began watching Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring, in my distress of having three hours to sit through and feeling guilty about not revising I decided to make use of an address I found on the internet.
The address was to the Hello! Project fanclub, where you could send letters to the members of Hello! Project in Japan. Being as I couldn't write/speak Japanese back then I decided to write in English to luckily one of my favourite people ever in H!P: MIKA TODD. Who is actually Hawaiian so I knew she could speak english.
Mika rules *peace sign*
Now I sent off the letter not even knowing if I had put the address in a readable format for the Japanese and fully expecting the return address to be used and the letter would come back to my hands in 10 years with no hope.
Months past, and I forgot all about the letter...
November 21st around 6:10pm in the middle of my psychology homework and listening to my Maaya Sakamoto cd, I hear a voice:
'Dill! Come here please! There's something from Japan for you!'
Immediately I seize up and yell 'I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING' wondering if that voice is accusing me of something I didn't do...
I jump up and open my door where my mother is coming up the stairs with a large-ish brown envelope, even from the point I was standing I could see clearly on the front : UPFRONT AGENCY HELLO PROJECT FANCLUB
I gasp and reach for the evelop, squealing as load as I can I grab the envelop and promtly collapse on the floor of the landing yelling to my mum 'OH MY GOD I DIDN'T THINK I'D GET AN ACTUAL REPLY!'
'Are you going to open it then? what is it?' my mother asks, nonplussed, completely oblivious to what I think it may be
Ten minutes pass before I could open the evelope, when I did I split the top and tipped it up...
...
...
Out fell a SIGNED FIRST PRESSING MINI MONI CD OF THE LATEST SINGLE
And an evelope: http://members.lycos.co.uk/dillpops/letter.jpg containing a three page letter from MIKA-SAN!
Again another ten minutes of screaming and yelling before I opened the letter, and another half an hour before I could bring myself to play the CD.
The end.
I'm so happy...

If I got a three-page letter from the Pillows and a signed first-print of Penalty Life, I'd squeal like a schoolgirl too.

It takes much less than that for me ^_^
But damn! Dill you're so lucky. That evelope alone is one of the best things i've ever seen a band send any fan.
Are you gonna scan the letter too?

Nopies, letter = mine bwa ha ha ha ha, it was on cool paper though. I did transcribe the answers to some questions for a forum that I go to on H!P but other than that I'm a bit reluctant to give out...does that sound weird?
But I tell you what I might do, scan the page of the letter with the answers to the questions on! Wheee!

I guess this would be like me getting a sketch form Bill Watterson or having Ben Folds show me how to play one of his songs. When I compare this to one of those, I get jealous. Super jealous.
