Konnichi wa, minna! I am 16 years old, I live in Missouri, I have two sisters, I have a dog named Gabby, and I'm probably giving out too much information because I enjoy talking...just ask my friend, Kat-chan Is Grapefruit. Just click on the search button and look her up after you read my bio. But ONLY after. Because I told you to. And, yes, I did steal her greeting. The "Konnichi wa" thing. Because I am not very creative. It's a curse. Do you have it?

Other Likes:

Japanese things, whatever they might be. I love the colors green, purple, and orange, but not on me. I am in love with jeans and T-shirts, which are my favorite clothing items to buy. I don't wear much of anything else. God is cool and rocks out loud. Hm. I love my friends, couldn't live without them. I love my family, but sometimes want to strangle each and every one of them, but that is what pounding a volleyball or soccerball is for. Oh. And I love soccer and volleyball. Anything to take my anger out on that does not leave me feeling guilty afterward is a good thing. I love pillows, teddy bears, Febreze, pictures of friends and family, photo albums, my dogs: Roy, Gabby, Casey, Ozzie (named after Ozzie Smith), Princess, my cat: Maggie, writing, drawing (even though I cannot draw at all), Chap-Stick, the blankets my great-grandmother made from scrap pieces of fabric during the Great Depression that I still use today, talking to myself or to Joe or to God, running, playing cards, and hats. And, oddly enough, I like doing my own laundry. But I hate doing my family's laundry with mine. I don't know why. I adore the place I live, too. Wide, open space, and fields of green. I'd tell you this little sweet spot, but I'm not that much of a loudmouth. I also cherish peanut butter, Rasin Bran (wierd, eh?), and oranges.

Oh. One more thing, while I bore you guys to death. I like writing fanfiction. It's a cool hobby of mine. Never woulda guessed, would ya?

Dislikes:

When people categorize anime and manga as "cartoons and/or comic books"; When people believe that Japan and everything associated with it is stupid...they can all go to hell.; guys who flirt with girls, who end up falling for them, while the guys who flirted with them in the first place date other girls, and the girls they had originally flirted with get stuck liking a guy they'll never get because he's a flirting dumbass (happened to me); ignorance; shallowness; selfish kids who won't share thier Trix with the poor bunny, people who judge other people before they know them (if you want a way to piss me off, you just found it); Paris Hilton; Lindsay Lohan; Hilary Duff (she's not so bad, I guess); Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (poor Jennifer...); people who bash Harry Potter; when people think of me as a child because I don't have a job; when people assume that I don't think about jack-shit (here I go with the "me" business...please forgive me...); people who give waiters and waitresses a hard time when they have been doing thier job correctly (I mean, put yourself in thier position...); close-mindedness; people who only care about themselves; and people who tell you that you can't go into a certain major...it's your life. Live it. Now that I'm done bitching, we can move on..

Okay, I'm done with me. If you guys want to know more about me (as if you would), e-mail me. I need something to do besides schoolwork.

And please, read and review.

Spank you.
