Mystery Net.com
Mystery Net.com: Online mysteries, mystery games, mystery books
I love mystery books.
Usually, I read a book a week, written in Japanese. Sometimes I try to read books in English, but it's a bit hard for me and taking a lots of time to finish a book.
Since last fall, I've reading The Da Vinci Code... which I haven't finished reading yet. Meanwhile, I read so many Japanese mystery books though.
While I was exploring the net today, I found an interesting page for mystery fans. They have some 2-5 minute mini-mysteries
, I can enjoy with. They also have some short stories, and most of all seem free. That's great! I should have bookmark this webpage. :->

text chat over Skype
I installed Skype into my PC for a while ago but haven't used it until yesterday. So yesterday I started Skype up and showed "Skype Me" mode and waited somebody gave me a message... but after awhile no one did.
So, I showed I'm "female" on my profile, then soon, I got messages and callings one after another, even though I selected showing "I was born in 1960," means I'm 45 years old, which is not my true age, still I got a lots of messages from guys. It was so funny.
It was my first day to used Skype, so I wanted to chose my company, someone who showed their pictures and where they live in. I finally did having text chat with a person from Ontario for about 10 minutes. It was interesting experience to me that I could communicate with someone from far from here and I've never met.
While later when he said good night and left from the net, I made mistake to chose another guy from India who didn't show his picture and where he lives, I just made mistakenly clicked 'okay' from his contact message. He just wrote "hi" "ohh" "hello?" and then asked me "how old am I?" I thought it was a bit rude asking my age, he even didn't show any information on his profile. Anyway, we didn't have any mutual topics, so I sent message "it was difficult to keep chatting because we don't have common topics" and then we ended up our short conversation.
It was pretty interesting experience to me. I don't have confidence to use a mic yet, but I'll try to voice chat sometime soon.
