    Things involving me
Update: Whooo, I'm in Japan for a year working in a hotel.. doing stuff and things.
I rarely use MySpace nowadays, so soz if I take forever to answer messages, etc. I'm on Bebo & Facebook a lot more.
I was born in Canada, spent my primary-school years in New Zealand, then spent the last decade in Australia (Perth and Melbourne), and moved back to Auckland (NZ) in 2007.
I spent 3 months studying Mandarin in Taiwan in 2006, and am now in Japan for the third time on working holiday.
I speak quite good Japanese, and terrible Mandarin.
I have two tattoos.
I am engaged to a lovely boy.
I like to think of myself as a proud non-conformist. Others often like to think of me as weird. I don't care what they think so that suits me just fine.
I love art, music, poetry, writing, blogging, comedy, languages, Japan, anime and my laptop. Particularly my laptop - I want to have its babies, I love it so much.
I know where to put apostrophes.
I stand by what I believe in even if it's not convenient.
I want to die having given more to the world than I've taken.
I never stay in one place long enough to call it home.
I believe in Cognitive Liberty . I don't believe that marijuana is harmful to society. I believe that McDonalds is harmful to society.
I like knowing what's going on in the world, but I think the media is biased as hell.
I blog compulsively.
I have far more friends on my MySpace list than I have in real life.
I'm terrified of bees and wasps.
I can be bright and bubbly or introspective and deep, yin or yang. I like to think of myself as a bi-polar walking contradiction.
    Shit n Kittens
I'm a pretty regular Wikipedia contributor (my user page is here ).
I have two pet rats. I'm an animal lover and my favourite animals are rats, bunny rabbits, cats and sheep. I would be a vegetarian if I had the willpower (I would also be skinny if I had the willpower), but I don't, so poor little baby moo cows must die for my dinner. I don't eat ever sheepies tho, coz they're too cute.

    Fight Against the Death Penalty
I have placed this candle image on my profile in memorial of Van Tuong Nguyen (August 17, 1980 - December 2, 2005). Van was an Australian citizen executed by hanging in Singapore , one of over 400 people who have been executed in Singapore since 1991 - the world's highest per capita rate. It is my belief that the death penalty is nothing short of democide and is never an acceptable solution.
