Learning things: languages (especially Japanese, but I have the basics of Chinese and German), trivial pieces of society and culture (wikipedia is wonderful for this), programming and logic, politics. Reading. Crochet and amigurumi.
I'd like to meet:
People that I haven't spoke with in the past couple of years. And nice people. I like them, too.My friend Taiki, too, but that's a given. Plus everyone else in Japan. I only have to wait until July!Oh, and Bill Kaulitz, because that would be hilarious.
