My Host Family:	I was lucky enough to go to Japan in the Summer of 2001 and now I have my own host family! Nakano Takashi is my host father ^_^ I hardly got to know him while I was in Japan because he was always at work. He owns his own business; I think it's an insulation company. Most of the times I got to see him he was drunk, but not the crazy/violent drunk, he was the funny kinda drunk sweatdrop. He would try to speak English and he would say the same sentence incorrectly over and over, lol. Nakano Michiko is my host mother. She is a REALLY nice person. On the first day I was there she bought me a kawaii Pokemon fan ^_^ And almost every day after that I was bought a present by her. On the day I left, she baked an entire cake all for me! It was so yummy too! I learned how to say oishii just so that I could tell her that the cake was delicious. Nakano Sayaka is my elder host sister. She was the only one who could speak fluent English ^^;; I wouldn't have made it in Japan if she hadn't been there with me! She was always showing me all sorts of cool stuff and taking me around with her to places. She's the only big sister I have, since I'm the oldest child in my family. It was actually fun being the younger sibling for once! Nakano Takuya is my elder host brother. He's the only big brother I've ever had. I've always kinda wanted one, and now I have one! I didn't get to see much of him because he was always at school or at soccer. He's an EXCELLENT soccer player. If you need proof: he was in the Japanese National Team for people 18 years and younger! Nakano Yukari is my younger host sister. She's very tall and pretty. She was only 11 when I went over to Japan and she was several inches taller than me, Sayaka, and Michiko! She's a very good student, and she's doing very well in English. She cried when I had to leave for home... The last one in my host family is Ricchi. He's our pet dauchsund ^_^ He was SO happy all the time! He would jump all over you and lick your face if he could reach. He loves to play fetch with all his doggie toys ^^
Involvement Status:	Single, but with a big crush on a guy who has no clue XD My chances are small but they're there at least, ha ha ha!
Schooling:	Currently, College Sophomore
Fear:	A natural fear of the unknown, getting old and feeble.
