My Interests

I have tried all of the standard hobbies, i.e. knitting, crocheting, and such but none has captivated me as the jigsaw puzzle.
I didn't know this about my self until we bought this house that we live in now, but I really enjoy working on the house. I suppose gardening can be added to the list too. There is nothing cooler than growing your own food.

I'd like to meet:



adopt your own virtual pet!This was my alter-ego in '86-'87 (it must be in the name):If you can't appreciate the knee highs and the bad-assery of the dance moves, something is wrong with you.He's just a super bad-ass

Music:

Any Corelli Concerti Grossi, tangos for string quartet, Bjork, AKUS, BNL, Stan Getz (esp. his Bossa Nova recordings with Jobim), Ani, any 80's music, esp. the techno and the cheesy love songs, pet shop boys RuLe, I love musicals

Television:

Dawson's Creek, 'nuf said

Heroes:

Britney Spears. Seriously. Oh, well maybe Kirk Cameron too.Oh, and the dude on the "Cheaters" TV show. He is my hero for having the kind of job I can only dream of. Douchebag.
You Are a Kogyaru!
If it's cute, you'll wear it. Fake and bake, hair bleach, and bright makeup line your bathroom cabinet.
As for clothes - anything that's short and cute ("kawaii!").
You are the prize object of all sorts of men - but you are really looking for a rich foreign guy.
He'll find you out hanging out in Shibuya shopping at the 109, text messaging and sending photos over your cellphone. What's Your Japanese Subculture?
