I took this picture at the farewell party held for the 2001 Sister Cities Iwamizawa exchange delegation (of which I was a member). The girl in the bottom left is Sayaka, the bottom right is Yukari, the woman in the middle is Michiko, the boy in the top left is Takuya, and the top right is Takashi. |
 |
Me and my first tattoo! It's a design I drew myself based on Sanji-sama's eye ^_^ Don't worry, I look that crazy all the time. |
 |
My Senior picture from 2003-04 school year. I have my Naruto headband on in it! Too bad they used that crappy mist-type lighting. Everything looks all fuzzy, and it's hard to see the awesomeness of the headband! |
 |
Graduation 2004!! Cool stuff added in Photoshop 7. I hate my exprssion in posed pictures, though...I never look like that in other pictures! |
 |
My annual photo from 2005 XD I like this one, heh. |
 |
I had Satoita take this picture of me with my new guitar I got for Christmas 2005 ^^ I obviously had my way with it in Photoshop. |
 |
Me and a bunch of my best friends at Carl's Jr. after Anime Oasis 2006! It's my favorite fast food restaurant, but we don't have one in my town, so it's one of the highlights of any long distance trip for me XD |

| | 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 ^^ |
