THINGS I DON'T LIKE:
Boy bands. So-called Reality TV. Rats, mice, spiders and anything else that scurries around in the dark. I can't stand greenbeans and ham, either. I also despise Algebra, simply because of all the trauma I suffered in High School. Teachers who badger their students rather than instruct. People who hurt others out of their own fear and insecurity. Men who refuse to see-- not only how hard women have had to fight-- but also how far we still have to go towards equality. Racists, homophobes, religious terrroists. People that whine about the 'quality' of fan fiction on the internet (don't like it? you don't have to read it) and put down younger writers, rather than letting them grow. *steps off soap box*

HOBBIES: Writing, reading, painting, designing clothing, studying astrology and tarot, playing around with various computer languages, web design.

GUILTY PLEASURES: I love winter, the cold, the darkness... Christmas! [sighs happily] I'm also hopelessly addicted to Zelda for N64. Curling up and getting lost in a bookstore or library. 'Retail Therapy'-- ie, shopping. In addition, I like driving with the window down in the winter and taking showers outside in the summer.

WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP: What's this? you say. Lady, you're ALREADY grown up, you say. Um, no I'm not. ^_^ I'm still a kid at heart. Thus, my ultimate dream is to be a writer. Turned out that my previous job wasn't the right vocation for me, so now I'm trying my hand with Asian Studies and going back to school. I would like to work in Japan or China someday. But still, the dream of being published and having my work read is... well, it's one that's too deep to remove.
