After taking several "sorting quizzes" it's official. I am a Ravenclaw. That means I'm one of the clever kids. Ha ha.
Certifiable Anglophile (For those scratching their heads at the terminology, wondering if it means something dirty: It actually means that I am an avid admirer of England and all things English)
Japanese culture and language (I speak okay, my pronunciation is pretty good and all, but my main strength is reading and translating)
Nursing school stuff, reading as long as the book is interesting, video games, WRITING, and MUSIC. I love to sing. I like to fancy myself the possessor of some talent in that area, but I never really let anyone listen because I'm afraid that my little ego bubble will burst if I ever find out the truth
Random Interests: Peppermint Hot Chocolates at Starbucks (when in season), non-fat no-sugar coldstone (and it STILL tastes amazing!), hot english muffins with melty butter mmm, english breakfast tea, cats and kittens (esp striped ones named BB), great danes, cute yet cheap clothes, shoes, purses, dark chocolate, all things Disney
And hot firefighters named Rocky Merritt 3333
First off: You. Whoever you are.
L'arc en Ciel. They are an awesome band.
And Fellow Californians both current and former
Facing west, from California's shores,
Inquiring, tireless, seeking what is yet unfound,
I, a child, very old, over waves, towards the house of maternity, the
land of migrations, look afar,
Look off the shores of my Western Sea—the circle almost circled;
For, starting westward from Hindustan, from the vales of Kashmere,
From Asia—from the north—from the God, the sage, and the hero,
From the south—from the flowery peninsulas, and the spice islands;
Long having wander'd since—round the earth having wander'd,
Now I face home again—very pleas'd and joyous;
(But where is what I started for, so long ago?
And why is it yet unfound?)

My new #1 hero is Mr. Walt Disney. Apart from being responsible for some seminal childhood memories, I am now in the process of reading his biography and in a time when most animators were just slapping things together with as many lame jokes as possible, Disney strove always for quality. Above everything else. He wanted to be the best out there and he demanded a lot from his studio.
