Technology
Holy shit, what would I do without it?
Television
I LIVE off of TV. This mostly developed because of my insane insomnia, but it also had a lot to do with being alone at the apartment/dorm/house all the time. I put it on just to have background noise so I don't feel so lonely. I don't always actually watch it, but I can't stand to have something I wouldn't be interested in on either.
Tea
Hot or cold, always tasty!
uh...Twitter
Shouting out, hoping someone will hear.
Tribbles
Omfg, Star Trek FTW. Current obsession. Finally got all of the original series downloaded, something I've been trying to do since I saw the new movie, and I've been utterly addicted. I forgot how much I liked this show. When I was a kid I had a tribble stuffed animal thing that squeaked and vibrated about!
Tables
You uh, put things on them. That's kinda awesome...DAMN IT JI.
Treadmills
All the benefits of running, only with air conditioning!
Tako
My favorite kind of sushi! Octopi are delicious! Nomnomnom.
Tekken Toppa Gurren Lagan
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!
Travel
I love going to all sorts of new places!

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. (please only request words if I actually know who you are...)
Cosplay
I only really got into cosplay in the past four years or so, but I guess that makes sense since that's around the time I was old enough to travel to conventions alone. My friends and I basically taught ourselves how to sew and operate sewing machines. I've gotten pretty good at altering patterns and using found items! To date I've cosplayed Yoko (Gurren Lagan), Mugen (Samurai Champloo), Reno (FFVII), Renji (Bleach), Fai (Tsubasa Chronicle), Aisha Clan Clan (Outlaw Star),Honey-senpai (Ouran Host Club), and Shinobu (No More Heros). I totally intend to do Spock next. > > I'd also like to get around to doing Lavi (D Gray Man) and Ed (FMA).
Italy
Ah, my scorned passion. I used to be obsessed with everything Italian, but believe it or not, getting a minor in it practically ruined it for me. I do still have a love affair with Italy, it's just not as pronounced as it used to be. I'd love to go there someday, but like most of my dreams, I think my parents will ruin it for me too. My whole family history comes out of that country, you'd think they'd let me go. *sigh* At least I have Domino...nomnomnom. <3 >:D
Louisiana
Born and raised New Orleans baby! It's funny, I have a love hate relationship with my home state. On the one hand the food is awesome, the culture is ballin', the art/music scene is amazing, and there's a uniqueness to the people of New Orleans (and I do specify NO, because the rest of the state is kinda...blah) that I've never experienced anywhere else. The closest thing was New York, only New Orleans is like...in slow motion by comparison. At the same time there's so much poverty, corruption, and hurricane bull shit that sometimes I wonder if it's really worth it. At least we know how to party down here. Don't matter what it is, we're gonna drink to it and maybe throw a parade, if enough drunks get together at the same time often enough. ...Also, cajuns. Nuff said.
Turks
Damnit, Ji you took my best "T" word! I would have mentioned this above if it hadn't been down here. I've been in love with the whole idea of the Turks for a very long time now. As you all know, Reno is one of my favorite characters perhaps of all time, which is pretty awesome for a side character lackey villain. XD I love that they're bad guys, but they're really not all that bad when it comes down to it, they're just doing their jobs because SOMEONE has to do the dirty work, especially when no one else wants to do it. There's something to be said for being unassamed of doing whatever it is you have to do because you're being paid to do it and at the same time being loyal, true, and proud of it. It's the mafia complex. <3
Watercolors
I used to SUCK at watercolors. They were like, my kryptonite. I'm not exactly sure when it happened to be honest but I started to play around with them (making some hideous art that stuck together and got shoved in other people's lockers.) And then I recall one of my art teachers giving me a very old set of watercolors from Germany that I had fallen in love with. They were crappy as hell, falling apart from years of sitting around in the art room storage, but I dunno, I just took them with me all over and painted and painted and painted. They're so easy to set up and move from place to place, not to mention cheap. Most importantly, I get a true artistic sense of accomplishment when I create something with my hands. I mean REALLY from my hands. The brush on the paper and the way it feels in my hand, mixing each color until it's juuuust right, layering and layering color in a slow tedious process of truly creating, until every little detail is just so. You can't cheat with watercolors, not really, not to me anyway. It's a beautiful thing.
