About Me

This about sums it all up:
"You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You're blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That's right—you don't go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set.
You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I'd never have any regrets in comparing my life with your counsel. I thank you for speaking straight from your heart; I learn the pattern of your righteous ways. I'm going to do what you tell me to do; don't ever walk off and leave me." Psalm 119:1-8 (The Message)

I have officially lost my mind. In the best sense possible. Yeah.
Total dork, obsessive re-arranger, constant fidgeter, reluctant Florida resident, kawaii addict, tea drinker, nervous driver, overeater, crafter, sensible yet stylish dresser, homebody, listmaker, bruised like a peach, insomniac, and partner in crime to Mr. Aoi.
I have a blog ( Shinhatsubai! ), and I'm on Flickr, too.

You have a 12-pack of mochi in your freezer that you still refuse to throw away in July. You pack bento for road trips. You cut all your carrots and hot dogs at an angle. You know the virtues of SPAM....
