Yesterday is not all that you are.

About Me

I am me and no-one is quite like I am. Probably. I live with my fella and three legged Kitty in a house filled with laughter, sillyness and aroma of tasty foods in the ovens. I love Asian cinema [Japanese, Korean, CHinese, Thai..]as well as films from other countries. I enjoy reading up on Japan and anything related when I get a chance and am currently studying Japanese. I aim to do my first JLPT in December 2008 and pass all 4 levels eventually! I'd like to in my life visit Japan and at least visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Mt Fuji as well as do a temple walk, visit some hot springs and watch a traditional tea ceremony. I'd also love to visit Russia. I love to see new places and have been lucky enough to go to Spain, Greece, prague, Amsterdam and Germany.I am enjoying cooking at the moment am enjoying delving into the baked arena. I have just started bikkits and bread making which seems to be going quite well. I would love to be good enough to go on Masterchef and win it but my culinary prowess is a while off yet.

My Interests

Japan -Language,culture, cinema, music. Cooking - coming second to Japanese I just LOVE it, Kitty, Making stuff - either with purpose as in D.I.Y or random crap, Useless facts and trivia - how things work, People or rather their brains.

I'd like to meet:

Chefs, comedians and musicians who can teach me how to cook better, be more funny and entertain me with sweet sweet melodies :)

Movies:

Like Music my love of films cannot be contained with pesky genres. Although I generally can be found mingling amongst cult classics [or at least a classic to me!] and indie films.
