freezing in Wisconsin
So I safely arrived back in America, to my hometown about a week ago. Surprisingly, no jet lag, just plain-old exhaustion. Which is to be expected since I had to cart my 34.5kg luggage half way across the Kantou region. *dies But I am freezing here, but it's warmer than I thought it would be the average is around 32 degrees F or 0degrees C, ( Read more... ) -
Head Shots
Since I'm seriously thinking of persuing an acting/dancing career I had some head shots taken. Here are a few samples. Pictures taken by Mishal Samman.

fangirling(please don't shoot me)
So I finally watched KAT-TUN's QoP concert DVD and almost died from Jin's awesomeness. At the concert, I was too far away to actually see his performance decently, so I'm glad I finally could via the dvd. His dancing is so f***ing good! I mean, he was good before(that's why I like him the best; he does everything well), but he was unbelieveably ( Read more... ) -
2009 new goals and reflections/randomness from 2008
So I'm really bad a posting because I never really have anything exciting to talk about. And I don't want to bore everyone with my negativity; I'll keep that to myself. Anyway, I experienced my first Japanese New Year. New Year's eve wasn't that exciting, just the same as any other day. would rather have been at the countdown concert. Iyaa! I ( Read more... ) -

So the last show for 'Schweyk in the Second World War' was yesterday, and I am looking forward to my week long break from theatre rehearsals. Unfortunately no break from school until Dec. 23.
