The Rules:
List six (6) things about yourself.
Tag six (6) people, no tagging back
1. Sometimes I doubt the fact that I'll come back to live in the United States and settle down one day. I take a lot of things for granted because of where I live, but I don't feel particularly drawn to any one place in the U.S., and global affairs at the moment has me thinking I'd like to live somewhere else for the rest of my life. But who knows where?
2. Anyone who wants to know how or why I got into fandom has only to construe a situation from these words: sister, computer, sticker, television. Actually, the story goes that my (now-late) older sister Michelle wanted me to stop annoying her (to use our new computer, an IBM Aptiva), so she gave me a sticker of the SD Sailor Senshi (from Sailor Moon SuperS, which was on Japanese TV at the time). She told me the show was on TV, ushered me off to the living room, and I've been a fandomite (fangirl? Nah, that no longer has a positive connotation) ever since.
3. Part of the reason why I have a hard time connecting firmly with any religion is because I'm very flighty. Yet there are some things I've maintained a die-hard interest in for years, or things that might be seen as non-religious that I simply have a knack for-- things like tarot, palm reading, and astrology. So there's another option if I fail at life with my Journalism degree-- dress in a glittery sweeping robes and become a casino psychic. ^_~
4. Purple is my favorite color. I think it started when I read the "Unicorns" series -the one starring the same girls from Sweet Valley High. Purple and silver were their colors, and after I found out the origins of the color (i.e. of indigo dye, and of extracting color from oysters), I started to love it. I think my favorite color before that was red. I don't think I've ever really liked green, yellow, or orange, though. And short of a very rich emerald green or an icy yellow, I don't look good wearing those colors, either. I suppose that explains why I really like Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto- they both have those rich, dark colors on their sailor fuku. I like Sailor Saturn's fuku and powers, but I'm not a big fan of her "character." Then again, she doesn't get much screentime.
5. In my life, I can remember all the careers (serious ones) that I've ever wanted: teacher, artist, fashion designer, writer, journalist. Now I suppose I want to mash them all together, because I'd love to be a writer for a fashion magazine. But I'd also like to teach English as a foriegn language, especially in Japan. And I'm still very much into color, cosmetics, and fashion, though I don't have the attitude to keep up with the fashionistas of the world.
6. Despite many people thinking I'm outgoing, bold, and adventurous, a lot of the time I'm scared, nervous, or shy about things. For certain things, I'm very set in my ways-- like food. If I have a dish that I know I like and enjoy, why would I bother trying something new? This probably explains why, when I try to eat other foods, I get a stomachache, because my stomach acts on what my conscience thinks should happen as a result of me rebelling -oh no, don't eat that, it'll make you feel sick, it's not your usual, why did you try that, it's all (this) or (that) or (the other thing)! Eew, go back to your regular (insert food here)! I really have to get over that psychological bent I have.
Sooooo, Arizona for Spring Break '07 (April 2-7th), huh? Stalk me somedqbunny, seeshellirun, kitesareevil and... o_O Wow, who else lives out there? I mean besides my cousin who's going to University there? That sounds kind of interesting. What's in Arizona (i.e attractions)?
