About Me

I'm a college senior currently studying Japanese Language, Japanese and Chinese Culture and History, Visual Arts (drawing, illustration, photography), Graphic and Web Page design.
Most of my computering time is devoted in some way to music. I really like finding new bands, translating or transliterating lyrics, that sort of thing. Back when I wasn't lazy I also made web graphics, layouts, and things which I will start doing again soon.

Ground Rules (read these):
I'll add you if I know you from somewhere else, be it real life or another site (and i like you). Shoot me a message if you think I might not be able to tell who you are.
I will not add you if your profile is private and I can't find out who the hell you are. Message me if you add me.
If you have a problem grasping basic grammar and spelling I probably won't be able to stand talking to you/reading your profile.
If your profile is unreadable because you don't realize that people can't read black text if it's against a black background, or you have so much crap on your page that it makes my browser lag, maybe I'll add you, but I'm never going to visit your page.

My Interests

music, linguistics, design, flash, photoshop, html, japanese, [pop] culture, asia, history, education, drawing, illustration, livejournal, webcomics, graphic novels

Music:



Movies:

Tend to go for more independent movies over the big Hollywood ones.
I really don't like horror films, especially ones that have a creepy psychopath or something. I guess what I'm saying is if it's set in or near an insane asylum, I generally want nothing to do with it.
I like a few Monty Python movies. Some other comedies but most of them are too stupid nowadays.
I am usually too frustrated with movies based on books I've read to say I like any of them.

Television:

I'm not too in to television. I'll watch pretty much anything on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, or The Tube. I like learning. Also i really like watching Jeopardy

Books:

I enjoy books by Neil Gaiman, Jane Austin, Terry Pratchett, Elizabeth Kostova, um. There's not much variety in my authors lately. I like reading books about history, fantasy-type stuff, art, politics. I really enjoy satire. I like some kids' stories too, like the Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events...series. I read stuff about vampires sometimes. I've also been known to read the occasional linguistics book.
I don't usually read comics but i like the Shutterbox and Nightmares & Fairy Tales series a lot.
