You will need Japanese and Russian fonts to see and/or read everything properly, unless you're fond of pages of "boxboxbox" or ??? or ƒh‚ð‚¨Š©/'s. I don`t romanize and/or translate everything I write in Japanese and Russian.

If the above is in Japanese, then you're fine. If it is boxes or gibberish, you are not fine.

If the below is in Russian, then you're fine. If it is boxes or gibberish, you are not fine.

Если б мы не дети были,
Если б слепо не любили,
Не встречались, не прощались,
Мы с страданьем бы не знались!

-М.Ю.Лермонтов



Socialist
and proud.

A chronology of my hair:


Hair after hennaing from the ears down, December 05


January 06


June 06 (half inch trim and braided)


Late June 06- day of henna and braid-waves (Compare length with Dec. 05)


Late July 06- day after henna, braid waves(Compare length/condition with June 06)


October 06


Late December 06- Compare to December 05. Braid-waves. The red is considerably more grown out now. You can really see the difference in health between the remainder of the old bleached stuff and my untouched hair. No henna since July.


February '07 Natural state, straight.(No braid-waves) I'm wearing a brace so that's why my back looks funny.


June '07 Braidwaves


July '07 Braidwaves, henna and indigo



Late July '07 Braidwaves


October '07


May '08


Now that you've seen photos, the self introduction.




Nice to meet you! ^_^

My name is Amanda. I was in Japan from March of 2005 to February of 2006, and I created this journal to chronicle my time in Japan. It's now just my broad-sweeping personal journal.

I attend the University of Rochester, in Rochester, NY.(48th in the WHOLE WORLD, baby!) My majors are Japanese Language and Russian Language, a minor in Russian Studies, with some classes in Computer Science. My extracurricular activities are Sihir Belly Dance Ensemble and PSC.

I passed the JLPT 3kyuu in 2005, and I plan on taking 2kyuu in December of 2008.

My hobbies include reading Star Trek fiction, sewing, cooking, eating, videogames, roleplay, cosplay, belly dance, and checking my f-list.

My hair is 92 centimeters long as of January. My short-term goal is one meter which will put me at "classic length", with a final goal of neatly at my knees.

* Foreign Language 114 Conversational Japanese
* Foreign Language 151 Intermediate Japanese
