Small town New Jersey girl. I was born in a horrible snowstorm in 1983. My mom doesn't let me forget that she had to trudge through the snow to get me to the hospital for checkups every week. I hated the snow and would cry when my mom put me out there to play with my brother.. Still not fond of snow.. i'd rather look at it through the window. hah. All the pretty none of the cold!

I'm half Japanese and half white. My father was born in Japan and came here when he was 5 years old. my mother was born and raised in my hometown. She and my father moved into a house two blocks away from her parents and have lived there ever since.

I am small and clumsy. I'm 5 foot three, but I seem shorter because I'm always on my behind.. Seriously, they need to make up a new word to describe the level of clumsy that I am.

Got into postcarding when I was little. Recently got back into it, and am looking to increase my collection. I love all kinds of postcards.

Other things I am into are:

Photography, video games, the outdoors, beautiful places, writing, comedy, kawaii, skulls, movies, tattoos, Japanese culture, and baking.

There are many places I want to go in my life, and many of these place, realistically, I'll probably never get to actually see.

i also enjoy postcards because it's interesting to see what the sender picked and wrote. It gives a few second glance into a window of their life. It's nifty. :D

So, yes, if I haven't rated you and you think I should have, just contact me, and I'll figure it out. :D

I have quite a handful when it comes to fuzzbutts and repti-pals!

Fenris - (rescue) He is my very first. He turned 9 on Sept. 28th, 09! He's a total sweetheart. He's a sable Ferret, and i love that porkchop to death.

Moto - ( rescue) My Red Eared Slider. I got him on Valentines Day of 2004. He was living in a 10 gallon tank with 4 other turtles, no heat, no food, and no clean water. He's now large, in charge, and has tons of food!

Ichi - (rescue) Ichi is a wonderful fuzzball. He's three (as of Sept. 1st 2009.) He's a happy go lucky little man who loves to torment his 3 brothers.. and loves his mama. ---------- Unfortunately, Ichi was diagnosed with cancer in July. Aug. brought about surgery to remove the tumor from his throat, but they couldn't get it all. Sept. 28th, Ichi fell, and has little use of his back legs, and is very weak. I've been feeding him and giving him water and he's been laying on my lap wrapped up in my most comfy cashmere blanket since I heard him fall. Sept. 29th, I made the very very very very very hard decision to have him put down. He is too wonderful to suffer, and I would rather the decision tear me apart then to see him struggle any more. He had a great home, and three brothers who loved him.. and an entire human family that adored the crap out of him. He brought A LOT of love into the house, and loved us as much as we loved him.
Mid Day on the 29th, Ichi was taken to the vet, as it was the earliest appointment we could get. It was a hard decision, but I opted to put him down, because I couldn't watch him suffer anymore. The vet told us his tumor had taken over most of his organs. We love you, Ichi.

Koda - (rescue) Koda is Ichi's brother. They were both living in a house that didn't care about them. They bought them for their children, but the kids lost interest and didn't take care of them. They were covered in pee and poop. Koda now has a giant cage he shares with his brothers, and is totally spoiled!

Cash - My albino ferret. He was the last one at the local pet store. All alone in his cage. My parents bought him for me as a birthday present because I said he looked lonely and would love to have my boys as playmates!

The Clowns - We have one orange and one black clownfish. they are the most amusing fish I've ever seen in my life. The black one loves to swim upside down.. For no reason other then to freak us out, I think. lol.

Dank & Kush - They are my two Fire Bellied Toads. They're pretty awesome. I love toads and frogs thanks to them!

Marley - The newest addition.. He's a giant day gecko. As of today ( Oct. 4th) he's a month old!

I've been with my boyfriend Dave since Nov. 11th, 2007. He's my best friend and my pictures, stars and dreams. He's my smile and my anger and my laugh. He loves The Dallas Cowboys. He actually taught me all about football. I really had no idea, and when we started hanging out a lot and football season rolled around, he talked me through it. .. I actually asked him out the day the Cowboys whooped on the Giants.. It was good day. lol. He also LOVES his Vdub. He's got a GTi, and we love her... when she's not acting 'a fool'. He loves xbox, and his clownfish. For his 24th birthday, I bought him a saltwater tank.. For his 25th birthday, I bought him a black clownfish to go along with his orange clown. They are really awesome! Such funny fish!

anything that smells of cigarette smoke. It gives me a headache.

Cat hair. I'll understand if theres a few in the package, as I know cat hair does what it wants, but please, no excessive amounts. My dog HATES cats, and I don't feel like dealing with her growling at the packing for an hour straight. lol.

vanilla or any strong scent. like musk. My favorite scent is cucumber melon. I love the citrisy stuff from Bath & Body works..

Dark Chocolate. I'm not a fan at all. If anything, I'd prefer Milk Chocolate.. If you are to send me anything chocolate, send me your favorite kind! I love chocolate and candy from other places, as it tastes different from the chocolate in the US. (and if you're in the US and you have a favorite home made candy shop, I'd love to try it! If not, I love Hershey ! ! lol. ) Also, no candy with the creme inside. The only thing I really like is nuget and caramel inside my candy!

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I love cappuccinos.
