About
me
Basic
Info
Where to begin… I’m an 18 year old girl. I live in
the extremely boring country; the
Netherlands
-.-;
Everything’s flat in this country, it’s very tiny, and everyone
thinks we live in mills wear wooden shoes, etcetera.
Obviously, that’s not true. I live in a very small
village called ‘Leimuiden’ which is located in the province of
‘Zuid (South)
Holland
’.
It’s more than an hour away from
Amsterdam
. Living in such a small place means I have to do a 30 minute bike ride
to the next big city, and you can’t buy everything here (except
for groceries). But I couldn’t live in a city, the ‘country
side’ has a sort of freedom, and I happen to like freedom. I hope
to go to
Japan
someday, which seems like a lot more interesting to me than the
boring old
Netherlands
>P
I graduated from ‘high school’ and now I’m gonna
study TMA (Trade Management focused on
Asia
) at the HES (let’s translate that with ‘
Higher
Economy
School
’)
in
Amsterdam
, I’ll still be living at home though; there’s a bus connection
between here and
Amsterdam
. With this study, you get to pick an Asian language, and I chose
Japanese (of course). You also get to go to an Asian country of your
choice (that will be
Japan
in my case) in the 3rd year of the study; half a year to
study at a university there, and half a year for work placement. My
‘bestest’ friend Lelie’s also gonna study this.
Obsessions
You guessed it; I’m obsessed with
Japan
,
and almost anything Japan-related. I even go to ninja training!
Ninja (or: ninpo bujutsu) is my sport, and I like it very much. I
started September 2002, together with Lelie. We already passed 2
exams; I’m now 9th kyu (you start with a rope, then you
do an exam for your white belt; the 10th kyu. Now I wear
a red belt). Our ninjutsu comes straight from the battlefields of
ancient
Japan
, that’s why we don’t have any tournaments. I’m learning a lot and
we even get to fight with weapons, I already learned to use the
hanbo (1 meter stick) the tanto (knife) the yawarabo (foam
baton-thingy) and the tesse (30 cm stick). But what I really want is
to become good enough to get to use the sword; the weapon I like
best.
Besides being a ‘kunoichi’, I’m kind of a
‘Shinsengumi-fan’ too (it’s all in the outfit, I tell you! @_@
In the outfit and in the ‘Aku. Soku. Zan!’) For those who
don’t know; the Shinsengumi was an army of master less samurai in
Kyoto
at the end of the
Edo
era. I became ‘Shinsengumi-fan’ through ‘Rurouni Kenshin’; my
all-time favorite anime! Although, ‘former Shinsengumi 3rd
division captain’ Saitou Hajime isn’t
really my favorite character: Shinomori Aoshi is; I even painted him
on my door! ^^;;
Spare
time
My jobs; I baby-sit twice a week and I’m a kitchen
help in a restaurant, mainly on evenings in the weekends. Besides
that I spent my free time drawing (See art here)
or painting doors (Live in the
Netherlands
and want an
anime character on your door? Contact me! Currently ‘hired’ by
Lelie). I also like sitting behind the computer, reading, and watching TV.
I’m very into manga and anime! So here are the anime I like to
watch (Either downloaded or my own DVDs):
-
Rurouni Kenshin (My favorite series! Got DVD’s and downloaded eps,
it’s not on TV -.-; )
-
Rurouni Kenshin - Tsuioku Hen (or; Trust&Betrayal. The OAV; got
it on DVD ^^)
-
Inuyasha (Downloaded; why don’t they broadcast the anime I like
best?)
-
Naruto (Liked it! Only saw like 2 or 3 downloaded eps, wane see
more~! ;_; )
-
Tenchi Muyo (Not on TV. Just saw some downloaded episodes)
And the anime I liked best from Lelies HUGE anime-DVD
collection:
-
Rurouni Kenshin – Seishou Hen (OAV; so beautiful… *wipes off
teardrop* And it had Enishi in it ^_~)
-

-

Finally; some of the anime I like(d) that we actually
have on TV here:
-
Dragonball Z (Do have it on TV, but I don’t watch it much anymore)
-
Card Captor Sakura (Liked it, but I think they stopped broadcasting
it. I never gave them any permission to stop! -.-; )
-
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Sometimes I catch an episode, but it’s in Dutch
*shrugs*)
-
Sailormoon (Used to watch it, when it was on in the weekend)
-
Gundam Wing (Saw the series on TV once; once is enough)
Anime I still want to see:
Uhm… more Rurouni Kenshin? ^^;;;
And the manga I read:
