BioI am the Tady.
I just graduated from Valparaiso University with a BA in Chinese and Japanese Studies. I'm now back in my hometown of Kalamazoo, MI to get my Masters of Anthropology at Western Michigan. I'm not sure if it's right for me so I might take some time off and attempt to be adventurous and explore other options. What's the point in life if there isn't a little adventure?
As my major indicates, my passion in life is Japan; the language, the culture, everything! I've loved it since I was five so don't confuse me with an otaku (although there is some anime and manga I like). I've only been to Japan once and I'm dying to return! Unfortunately, I'm terrible at the language (I'm bad at learning ANY language) so that might be a problem ;P
I'm a bit of a loner, although this isn't intentional. I'm a newlywed but my husband works nights and I work days so I don't see him as much as I like. Most of my friends live all over the country and the few friends I have in town are as busy as I am. I've been keeping up my journal to help stay in touch with them and let them know what's going on, but I'll add anybody. Just let me know and I'll add you back.
Aside from that, I enjoy what most people like- movies, reading, playing video games, etc. I'm actually really bad at filling out these "about me" sections on any website. Any other info about me you can get from my interests or by reading my journal. Just know that I'm a 23 year old that is still a kid at heart. All I need in life are a couple of good friends. :)
*I liked pirates before it was cool*
*If you made any of the icons I'm using, let me know so I can credit you (or take it down if you don't want me using it)*
