Thanks for the words of encouragement[thats how it's spelt right? uh knows]anywho, I'm very happy you like my writing style. And i'd like to add, i LOVE Japanese food too. It rocks!
Well, you aren't a question mark on my profile, so I assume you figured out how to make your avatar for profile comments. As for stories and message board comments, first go to "my mibba", and on the right, under "message boards", click "avatar" and upload a picture. :)
