I finally found time to do this meme! By blogging at work of course! lol
Let’s see if I can last:
- I was born in Japan (and live here as well)
- I’m fluent in Japanese
- I learned to swim as an adult (and still suck but hey)
- Worked as a paper boy in elementary school for 6 months
- Founded a social group for mixed race people in Japan (still going strong)
- created a Japanese blog that generated millions of pageviews through a variety of techniques
- Learned how to program (kinda) as an adult
- skipped a grade in school
It’s amazing how boring I seem from these random facts. I haven’t “lived it up” much I suppose.
Since starting work, life’s been a mad rush of events. The amazing thing is I manage to exercise more than I did when I had all the time in the world. I can obviously get more out of an hour now than ever before. I somehow forgot how work creates a pressure cooker environment that forces you to do more.
One thing I vow never to do again is work dreadfully long hours even if it means I give up on promotions or whatever. The toll it takes in addition to the horrid commute you have to put up in Japan is just not worth it.
My real dream is to start my own company but before that I need to get in shape for the beach this Saturday!

Cool! I did not know these things. I really need to brush up on my japanese. Takusan kanji o wasuremashita…
Since you live in Japan can you tell me how the last two episodes of Nana turned out? I’d been getting it as a fansub but now that it has been licensed here in the States it is off the fan sub sites.
Cool! I don’t think it makes you sound boring at all, it’s all a matter of perspective! It’s good that it makes you think about your life, work, etc.

It’s interesting to read the other responses because I feel like I know a little more about you in a real sense.
