I love to be around my friends & family. I like to listen to music and watch movies. I love men & just about everything about them! :P I will be moving to Japan with my boyfriend. He is from Japan, and has since went back, and staying in his home country. He will come back here after Christmas, and I will fly back with him in January. I'm nervous, but suuuper excited. It should be quite the culture shock. But, he is worth it. I love him. Aishiteru, anata. xD

We will be married in February or March. Sooo, soon I will be Kari Shimizu. Or, Shimizu Kari in his country. XDDD

belly dancing, photography, music, vintage Hollywood, flip flops, painting my toe nails, guys with green eyes & adorable smiles, making fun of blonde surfer guys, my family, Halloween, Paul Newman, puppies, people who fall a lot (so that I can laugh at them), my best friends Sam & my sister Keli (I laugh sooo much around these girls!), Cheering up my friend by doing cart wheels, then nearly landing in a mouse trap. Ohh, fun fun fun.

Soo much. I like a lot of older music, i.e., Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, The Drifters, The Doors. Edith Piaf is amazing! I also like Beck, Meiko Kaji, Madeleine Peyroux, Roberta Flack, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Regina Spektor. Nancy Sinatra is awesome ...one of my favorite songs ever is "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra ..if you haven't heard it, I highly recommend it, it's amazing.

Ninja Warrior is the best show ever! *RAWR* :P ...I also like The Simpsons, The Daily Show, South Park ...that's all I can think of. I really don't watch too much TV.

To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye are my favorites.

"My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
I go so far as to think that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers, from the mountains, blue bells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees."

Poem written by Pablo Neruda
