30 Things You Don't Know About Me

1. Im Japanese, Australian, Irish, with a little bit of Native American and Middle Eastern.

2. I dig old school rockabilly classics like Eddie Cochran, Link Wray, Sparkle Moore, and Janis Martin. I also listen to psycobilly bands like the Chop Tops, and the Meteors. Ska and Latin Ska are favorites as well as Roots. I listen to Desmond Dekker, the Skatalites, Don Drummond, and Rude Rich and the High Notes. And Surf! Can't forget the all time feel good wanna get up and dance beach vibes. Eddie and the Showmen! Creepy Creeps! Ghastly Ones! Los Kahunas! Infrareds!

3. I enjoy and appreciate old movies. I believe that they are more meaningful, and were forms of art and entertainment, not made to make bucks at the box office. My tv is always on Turner Classic Movies. One of my favorite movies would have to be, "Where The Boys Are"(1960).

4. I love to read books! You'll most likely see me with a book or at least carrying one.

5. I collect old books and old photographs. My oldest book was first printed in 1937. And my oldest photograph was taken and printed in 1932.

6. Im agnostic,
not atheist.

7. I started to dread my hair in 8th grade, but I stopped during the summer.

8. Im pescotarian, a vegetarian who eats fish.

9. I'm certain that I'm a cat person but at the same time a dog person.

10. I kick and hog the blankets while I sleep, yet I'll wake up without any covers.

11. I want to get a full sleeve when I turn 18. On my forearm Im going to get a tattoo of my grandma. I''ve got it all planned out! And when I'm older I want to have three kids.

12. I've gone to Australia about 4 or 5 times.

13. I've broken three bones. I tripped over a tricycle when I was in preschool and broke my collar bone. All because some boys were calling me grandma, and I got mad, although I still don't know how I tripped over the tricycle. And one time I broke my pinkie finger on a couch.

14. I won a water conservation art contest in 2nd grade. I came in second place, and had my drawing featured on a billboard.

15.
I have a cat that weighs 20+ lbs.

16.
I'm very deep and sensitive.

17. I'm a straight out Taurus, and believe every single horoscope I read.

18. I love being outdoors. Like riding my 1973 Schwinn Fair Lady. Complete with a banana seat and high handle bars. I love the beach, but I don't like going in the ocean.

19. I've had some run in with the law, but that shouldn't make you think differently about me.

20. People tell me that I'm very understanding, and a good friend. I've also heard people tell me that I need to "own" those things. So, I'm very understanding and a good friend.

21. My mother is a "tatted' up" hairstylist, and my father is a yoga-loving Buddhist beach bum.
I come from a pretty interesting family.

22. I love helping others and animals.

23. I can remember even the smallest of details. I remember one time when I was very little, my mother and father were going through a divorce, and we had to move away from our old house. I had grown up in that house so I was very attached. While the realtor was showing another family through our house, our home, I was in my room. I was sitting in the middle, where my bedding had been placed. Just sitting there, looking at every thing, just taking it all in one last time. I just sat there, crying, until it was time to leave.

24. I know how to sew and I do a lot of d.i.y. to clothes. For example, I have tighten pants, made shirts, skirts, dresses, etc..

25. I don't wear socks.

26. I love to do critical mass! And I am planning to participate in midnight madness.

27. I can do hair. As in cutting, and colouring.

28. I'm very sweet and slow.

29. I'm easy to please. The simplest things make me happy.

30. This blog post was very hard/interesting for me to do.

Wow, nice blog. A lot bigger than mine (laugh).

I'm somewhat agnostic, but still Atheist. Atheism allows you to believe what you believe in, but still don't believe in a "God".

Wow, you got it all planned out. Its nice to see someone who can look forward towards the future.

Horoscopes are fairly accurate, but I don't believe its wise to follow them word for word.

I'm typing too much again, so I'm going to stop here. Maybe I should just read a bit and not all of it thoroughly :P
