That's SO cool that your Mum does Skype and has a LJ account! My mother won't touch a computer - she can't even send an email. She can just barely work a DVD player, and she killed the last VCR they had by over-watering an African Violet she plonked down on top of it. *sigh*

It's so fun seeing these pictures of the RL things that show up so often as backgrounds in the anime - the ferris wheel, that bridge... it all looks familiar! Keep taking those pictures!♥
