If only the import laws over yonder weren’t so draconian. ;_;

>>Fabien
conversely,「俺に足りないのは彼女だ」was my perennial thought upon entering that room. orz

>>KOF 2000
That would be much appreciated – I’m sure the place looks much better now than the way I left it.

>>The Geek
My answer:

A:When you run out of room on the ceiling. :3

I agree with Agent Wax, "You have no idea how much I want some of the things in your room, Shingo." Especially that Stellvia Yayoi figure of her putting on/taking off the stockings. Wow, just WOW!

What also might provide some good laughs to the HD community might be a few pics of the current state of the room as dictated by my decor (or lack thereof...?). I shant say any more.
