25 Random Things About Me
1.) i've never left japan. my parents went on a business trip to korea once, though. i've always wanted to go to paris and take a few days to tour the louvre.
2.) i've got an older sisterand a little brother. ayumu is 23 and hachirou is 12. i've also got 4 cousins, but they all live in chiba and i don't see them much.
3.) i'm almost embarassed to admit this, but i love tonight, at the same place. it airs every thursday night at nine, so it's easy to catch and it really drew me in. not too bad for a soap.
4.) i like horses, but i've never ridden on one. tokyo isn't the best place for that
5.) i'm part of kitashiokaze's "art club". in quotes because its pretty pathetic. ms. kadotani is the sponsor, sadly. she's nice but she really weirds everyone out.
6.) when i was a kid i left one of my toys on the floor and my dad tripped over it and hit his head on our cofee table. oops
7.) we used to have fish, but my mom overfed them and they died. lmao it was pretty traumatizing. my mom has also killed nearly every houseplant we've ever owned.

9.) i've only ever gotten carsick once, and that was because my sister gets carsick, and one time she threw up all over me. it caused this really gross domino effect. i hope you still want to sit next to me on the bus, kana. lmao.
10.) one of my favorite artists is artemisia gentileschi. she was an italian painter from the 1600s who worked during a period where women were considered weak and inferior, and she totally kicked ass. i'd like to be as legendary as her someday.
11.) i tried acid once, but i started seeing freaky shit and ran out into the middle of the road and was almost hit by a car.
12.) one time i helped make cookies with my mom and she burned the shit out of them, lmao. my mom isn't exactly good at homey stuff.
13.) my favorite work of art that i've painted so far is called "die trying". i just hope i didn't peak too soon. i know that i can definitely do something better someday.
14.) i'm not scared of bugs or spiders or anything. most of them are harmless anyway.
15.) i have a small scar on the top of my hand. i burned it when i was making tempura and some of the oil sloshed out of the pot.
16.) when i was a kid i stuttered. i grew out of it over time, though
17.) i'm fascinated by abandoned places. it can be creepy at times, but it's exciting. i've never gone on an urban exploration, though. tokyo just doesn't have many good ruins to explore.

23.) i'm not too good with kids. i don' t have much of a maternal instinct, i guess. being pregnant would suck.
