I'm so lazy about stuff like this. I like...
wandering,
travelling,
music,
movies,
books,
art.... you get the idea.
I like
knitting.
It's very relaxing. And I've been learning Japanese
Calligraphy now for a
couple of years. Also very relaxing.
I left
Japan a year
and a half ago after living there for a number of years. I can't
believe I've been back in IReland a year and a half now. It still
feels a bit weird sometimes. But it's also good to be home and
spending time with
friends and
family again.
I've also lived in
France for a year and
Chicago for 5 months, great city.
I'd like to live in France again at some stage and I really really
love to visit new countries.
I'm also really lazy about checking this properly and emailing
people back. Don't take it personally. I tend to write the email in
my head and then think I've actually emailed... and then never
actually email :P
Working and wandering. I've a bunch of projects since the new
year... getting my Spanish back up to scratch... doing a
photography course... practising calligraphy a bit more... going to
some more places I haven't been...
Sleeping,
learning at least the basics in a language, touching my nose with
my tongue, looking like I'm paying attention, planning trips away.
When I lived in Japan that I was not Japanese. Now that I'm home...
no idea.

art. a breeze. reading material. people. music. travelling.
What to do next or where to go next.
Somewhere. Sometimes with friends.
The
sound of someone
brushing
their teeth creeps me out big time. I have to leave the room.
Me brushing my teeth is fine though. Which is good. Cos teeth are
important.
I'm
scared of
clowns, and in my dreams I'm terrified of spiders. In real
life...not so much.
