10 things about me unrelated to Gyaru.

I saw this post on Bones' blog and thought I'd join in too since she wanted to see other bloggers do it. I'm always curious as to the personalities of all you other gals. I'd love to know what's behind the make-up and big hair .

1.

I'm a trained seamstress. I know how to make high-end soft furinishings to a top standard. I worked in a soft furinishings factory for 6 months where I learnt the trade.





2.

I'm a vegetarian and hugely into my animal rights. All my fur items are faux fur and I dont buy real leather either. I do a bit of volunteer work with animal welfare companies and sponsor a dog with Dogs Trust.

3.

I'm obsessed with fitness! I used to weigh 192lbs at 5'3 and I was a size 16/18. I lost almost 50lbs and I'm still challenging myself to lose a little more whilst keeping myself fit and healthy. I love exercise and healthy eating facts etc. I'm constantly looking up new dieting tips and getting the latest exercise games and toys lol.

4.

I LOVE video games. My favourites are Pokemon, GTA, Bully and The Sims.

5.

I'm currently teaching myself Japanese. I think learning another language is something someone should do before they die and since I read a load of Japanese magazines and watch Jdorama then Japanese seemed the most obvious choice .

6.

I have a stupid obsession with cupcakes. I love them. Yes, I love healthy eating and fitness but it's alright to treat yourself every now and again and my weakness are cupcakes. I love the fact that they are almost an artform as well as a thing of yumminess. I love baking them and creating cute styles of frosting too, it's so fun!

7.

I love reading about imperial China. I have a whole section of books dedicated to that particular literature. Anything to do with it completely fascinates me. I dont know why but I've never read a bad book that was set in imperial China.

8.

I used to be a tom boy but now I love anything cute. When I was young I dressed like a boy, climbed trees, played with action men instead of barbie and thought wearing makeup was yucky. Now I love anything cute and go completely weak at the knees for plushies and sparkly things!

9.

Music is probably my entire life and then some. I'm into the underground free party scene here in the UK and have been since I was a yoot at only 14. Ragga Jungle, Hardtek, Dark DnB and Techno are my particular favourites but I like pretty much every underground electronic music genre as well as dub, reggae and dancehall (occasionally you will find me listening to Kpop and Jpop as well haha).

10.

I might as well drop my boyfriend in here. Out of the 10 things I think someone needs to know about me, it's him. We have almost a fairytale relationship. We were good friends for years while I was with someone who, lets say, really didn't appreciate me. He helped me through things and was always there for me when things got hard. We'd always had this feeling for each other but dismissed it due to our friendship. We got together finally at the end of May 2010 and we've now been together almost 7 months. I love him more then anything. He's my shining star in the night sky and he keeps me focused when all other sense goes out of the window.
