Hello everyone, 

I'm getting really cranky trying to rewrite some part of Happy Tears
before I write the next section.  Therefore, I've thought of something
that'll be a lot of fun for everyone.  

I'm compiling a non-serious "Dictionary of Homonymic" terms between
fanfic Japanese and English.  I am posting this along with the teaser
below as a way to get submissions for this compilation.  I don't feel
the need to explain the format, as it should be self-explanatory.  

Have fun and email me at allenmk@gte.net with your submissions.  Please
do not reply to the sender of this email as I am posting it from work.
I will be posting the partial results on my webpage and will post a
"final" copy within two or three weeks. 

Thanks in Advance,

Mike Allen
