I am an English teacher in Japan. In my free time, I like going to art museums, traveling, learning new things, meeting new people, sometimes playing video games, doing funny things, climbing buildings...I am quite self-reflexive, yet I think one of the hardest things to do is to write about myself. Is it possible to be sincere on a social networking website? Even if you want to be, the effect of knowing that you will have an audience will have some effect on self-presentation...I tend to ramble and think in a non-linear pattern. I am quite fond of absurd things. Like tomatoes, Elvis, Kitty-Chan, Dinosaurs, Shingo Mama and SMAP.I am interested in art (especially contemporary and modern art), aesthetics, philosophy, psychology, buddhism, and learning more about the world. I am trying to be more serious about studying Japanese. I like post-rock, punk, ambient music and music that has some meaning to it (though I can't say I am into girl rock, even if I can recognize it as being good music).I tend to be more interested in ideas than their execution.I think I should travel more.I was vegan for 6 years, but now am only a vegetarian.I am interested in self-identity and self-recreation. I changed my name to Simone when I moved to Japan because I was interested in seeing how one's name is connected with behavioral habits and personality. I also liked the name better than my given nickname. If names are arbitrary symbols, changing one's name shouldn't matter. Unless the change has symbolic import.よã‚ã—ãï¼
