"An ugly duckling growing out of her feathers."
Hello. I'm Zia, and this is most obviously my journal. I write about my life between Japan and the US, and all the adventures I find myself in. People often say they are envious of the life I seem to live, but the truth is, I feel a little unsatisfied with it myself, so I've decided to do something about it--to find what really makes me happy. Hopefully by documenting my life, I can figure out where I need to be heading. This journal is my way of opening my world to those around me in hopes of meeting people searching for the same thing or encountering people who have already gone through this kind of struggle.
Back in my high school days, I used to be a bit of a nerd. I was really in to comic books of all kinds, action figures...all that jazz. These days, though my interest in comic books re-surfaces every so often, I'm very much more in to things like fashion, dance, music, travel, tea, baking, writing letters, photography, animals and fitness. I'm a straight shooter--meaning I do not (or rather, can not?) lie. Keeping up with lies is too much trouble.
Anyway, there is more information about me on my profile. Feel free to take a look there or catch me on another site★

Date: 2012-04-13 10:02 pm (UTC)I once had someone online tell me, when I said that Japanese wasn't that hard (I was referring to the talking part) "Just wait until you have to take JLPT2, learn 1000 Kanji and blablabla, you will want to give up!" "Dude, I have N1." In the end, I know there are people who even take N1 but can't write a proper message. Still, in Japan they love certificates.
