kawazu the march captainHello! You can call me two names,
kawazu, or
march captain. Either is fine, I suppose. The name "march captain" is also the name of a novella I'm writing. It was invented because of simply what it is. The novella takes place completely in the month of March, and it's about a small scout group controlled by a captain. It gets really complicated with all the timeline and scifi elements, so I won't keep triflingly explaining it.
The choose the name "kawazu" because I love frogs, and kawazu is Japanese for frogs. I don't know why I love frogs, but my guess would be because of my love of the Grimm fairytale,
"The Frog Prince". I don't know why I love that fairytale, either, though.
Well, first off, I'd like to explain my career choices. Isn't that nice? I've wanted to be a lot of things in the past, and for my elementary school years they'd change at a fast pace. A list of all of them would be:
- ballerina
- paleontologist
- archaeologist
- marine biologist
- fashion designer
- interior designer
- a person who digs stuff
- and, newly added, a psychologist
I know my roots lie in writing, though. For a long period of two-or-so years, I've wanted to be a psychologist, even prepping myself in high school with the right classes
(unfortunately, my psychology class recently changed to "family studies," which I think is stupid).
Last week, when I found an old notebook of mine from 2003, and in it was a little wannabe story I wrote. Reading it and noting the date made me realize how long I've been into creating stories. For as long as I can remember, I'd always take household objects
(glue, pens/pencils, stapler, etc) and make up stories with them. I'd even take all the stuffies from my room and play pretend high school with them in the living room. And all this time I thought I've been writing since just 2006/07. I realize my path now, and I'll do all I can to get to it.
I'm sixteen years old, and my gender is a secret
(but I think you can guess pretty well what I am). My school has grades 8 to 12, and I'm in grade eleven. Recently I've been called creepy, and a pervert. Can't say I disagree, since I've been laying the weirdosity on a little thick these past few weeks.
I'm a romantic, and a newly asserted visual learner. My favorite people of all time are all dead, and I have a weird obsession with coats/jackets. Especially double breasted ones! I don't know what it is about them; they're just be most beautiful piece of clothing I've ever laid eyes upon!
When it comes to sports, hockey and American football aren't my thing, I'm afraid. My heart lies with volleyball, which I played in elementary but stopped in high school
(for some reason).
My favorite hobbies are sleeping, eating, reading, writing, and doing research
(otherwise known as Wikipediaing). Despite my love for sleep, I like to wake up early. 6AM kind of early, just because I like waking up early. My love for waking up early can be clearly stated in
this image, which I got off of imgfave.
My love for websites dedicated to design in some way is immense. Sites like
Smashing Magazine and
Six Revisions. You know what? Scrap that. I love web design, period. I love websites because of all the things you can do with them. I'm not able to create such wonderful pieces, I know, but just looking at something well done makes me feel happy and, in fact, jealous. I wish I knew HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript as much as a lot of other people do. I do admit to knowing my good fair share of HTML and CSS, but it's barely enough to make a good-sized website.
An example of this would be my
Spade Network thing I have going on
(which will be up on the 20th). It's based purely on HTML and CSS, and I'd say it weren't so good if I hadn't created it from scratch. I'm a fast learner, but too bad no one's willing to teach.
An avid fan of Japanese culture I am, and I can proudly say I am an otaku. Go check out my account on
MyAnimeList.net and see what kind of otaku I am. Ahh, sweet anime and manga! They really hit home, and that may be because I'm an on-off empathetic.
I hate people who make fun of the Japanese without actually knowing about it, and those who make the Japanese look bad. Whatever race they may be. If you think about it, it's reasonable to dislike these kinds of people. I just... hate them :/
Some specifications... I have a
Sony Ericsson cell phone, and my service is
Fido. I live in
CANADA, and will grow up to be a writer
(because, you know, I haven't grown up, yet). I don't know my bloodtype, but I wish I were O.
In the years to come, I'll be graduating a year behind, going to
Langara College, and then
Simon Fraser University.
No, I have not watched Glee, yet.
