Libra

I write a lot, I read a lot, I play a lot of video games, and I'm fascinated by music and sounds. I'm always humming or singing or banging things together or generating other unnecessary noise, which I know annoys the hell out of other people sometimes. Sorry, other people! I can play the following instruments, in order of virtuosity: piano, harp, steel pan (tenor), and mouth. Other than music, my main passions are Japanese language and culture, reading, and arts and crafts (particularly knitting and origami). I have often been told that I'm an "old soul"... but maybe that's just a polite way of saying I have some seriously grandma-esque interests and hobbies :) I also spent three and a half years living, working, and studying in Kagoshima and Mie, Japan, which was a very important life experience for me. I am basically fluent in Japanese and love Japanese music, comic books, and a few select anime as well.

People who enjoy talking and listening, and inspire in me the desire to do both. Also people who are not stingy with their back rubs! Give me back rubs please!
