Ookamiko

I am a dreamer and hopeless romantic. But I can also be a very sceptic person. This duality tears me apart sometimes, but most of the time allows me to have fun whatever the circumstances.

I am still a student but I also work part time in my parents' company.

I am trying to learn Japanese, get a certificate in English and get my friends together for another play of Dungeons&Dragons (and let me tell you, all of these are equally hard ;))

I also love to cook. A lot! :)

My favourite right now is Japanese cuisine (I am not very good at cooking that, but eating it is another story ;)).

I am trying to lose some weight (and I also like the way they look) with the help of homemade packed meals - bentos.

I love good fanatsy book. I have hundreds of them in my library and to name all my favorites would take an awful lot of space :D

But to name at least some, last books I read and I liked are: Trudi Canavan's Age of the Five, Jennifer Fallon's Wolfblade and Steven Ericson's Malazan Book of the Fallen.

I like to work with paper. It started with simple gift-wrapping, evolved into elaborate giftwrapping and continues with my room stuffed with various papers, embellisments, punches, scissors, mats and gadgets...

And though I have all this stuff, all I do is an ATC here and thank-you card there. I would like to use my supplies more frequently and unleash my creativity in more ways...

I also like to sew - pouches, pockets and purses, sacks, bags and totes... If I could I would store all my things in nested fabric containers of various sizes and designs :D

Is cooking a craft? If so, it is also one of my favorites :) I really like to serve the food in fancy manner - think Japan or food arranging in fancy restaurants. Or bentos :)

• papers in earthy colors (browns, greens, greys, muted colors in general)
• japanese origami papers (great for their traditional patterns I love and for my brother who likes making origami)
• brads and eyelets, ribbons, tags and other embellishments that are not too garish or jaunty
• rubber stamps and ink pads
• anything with sakura (cherry blossom) pattern, fragrance or flavour
• anything with cranberry fragrance or flavour
• things I can use in my D&D games - maps, encounters, items and NPC pictures, fake coins, precious stones...
• kitchen gadgets, towels, utensils
• patterned fabrics (ideally with matching single-colored ones for lining)
• I usually do not like cute stuff but somehow I ended up liking Amaguri-chan (San-X) and Monotone Panda (Crux)

• girly, cutesy, "barbie", frilly, glittery stuff
• fuchsia, rose, shocking and similar pinks
• cupids, amors, hearts, puppies and kittens .... you get the idea, yes? ;)
