Hi Peggy!

My apologies for not crediting you properly. I was grabbing the information from the website where I found your jewelry. This entry has now been updated to include a credit to you.

Re: [pics] LA Times Festival of Books

I hope you are able to attend! I think I'm going to go tomorrow as well. I had fun when I went, I remember there being a lot of cool booths selling random stuff--from books to stuff I swear you'd see in a museum gift shop. Just make sure you wear lots of sunscreen and bring sunglasses. It was super hot and sunny and I suffered in the heat lol

Shucks, it looks like it's been removed from Etsy. I'll keep an eye out for them for you!

It looks like about $28 or so. I don't see the glasses anymore (looks like it was sold), but you can request a custom order! - http://www.etsy.com/people/... Hope that helps!

Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I'm always continually surprised (and amazed) when people take the time to watch my video or contact me. I hope my video helped your daughter see she's not alone! My message was that it does get better, not just for LGBT kids, but for anyone who is different.

How is your daughter liking the school? Does she have a good set a friends there at least? If she wants to talk, she can email me any time. I know the school has changed a lot since I attended, but some of the teachers I had are still there and I'm here if she needs someone to talk to or even ask questions about the school.

She's certainly not alone and she's very fortunate to have a parent like you who cares so much about her well-being and is being active in making sure she sees she can definitely survive high school!

In all seriousness, if you (or your daughter) have any questions as well, don't hesitate to email me at kristelyoneda[at]gmail.com.

It does get better and it certainly starts with loving parents like yourself.

Thank you for your kind words, Al and Jane. I was pretty nervous that day, so I'm very relieved that my message still came across okay. People like you, the Aizumis, Kameyas, and the Shigekunis really showed me it's possible to make a difference for the LGBT and Asian-American community. It was very moving. I often question why I made the move to LA (I miss Hawaii sometimes), but Saturday reaffirmed my belief that I'm meant to be here in LA now.

Yes, please let me know how I can help!

*hugs* I just sat down that morning and started writing with no real point in mind. Just writing to get it out, I suppose. Where were you on 9/11? Do you remember what happened?

Re: Never Forgotten

At least being in Portland you're still a few hours ahead of Hawaii. I know what you mean about half the day being gone on the east coast by the time you wake up!

And to think how quickly things changed with air travel--I remember being able to say goodbye to friends and family at the gate, those days are long gone.

I can imagine that things felt very strange, but also tense in LA. In Hawaii, we were affected but we also felt far away. Now that I'm in LA, the helicopters and planes make me cringe. I wonder if that ever goes away?

I hope that he's not cheating and that he comes back soon <3 I don't know why we wait around for people like them. I don't know why it's so hard to let go!

Likewise, it was really lovely meeting you last night! I'm also really sorry we weren't able to talk longer. I hope that there will be more opportunities in the future where our paths will cross.

Oh! And thank you for sharing my poem :D I really, really appreciate it.
