Hello, my name is Julie. I live in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A. I enjoy listening to music, playing video games, drawing, and being outside. I'm 16 years old and will be starting my junior year in high school in about a week. My favorite classes are art, computer art, and gym. Unfortunately, my school does not teach Japanese, so I've been trying to teach myself. I've been failing miserably thus far.
I would like to have a Japanese penal because I enjoy Japanese culture. I've studied Japanese history a little, I read a lot of manga, watch anime, and listen to a lot of Japanese music. (Utada Hikaru is my favorite singer, although I don't much care for her English work.) I think I would like to visit Japan someday. Because of these, I think it would be nice to have a penal from Japan, I'm sure we could become good friends. One can never have too many friends.
Umm... I write a lot... sorry.

I have been fasinated by the Japanese culture for a long time and would love to talk to someone who can teach me more about japanese tradition and laguage.

I am very interested in politics (don't worry, i am not a fan of American politics,or Bush. If you want to know my standing on the political compass i am pretty Liberal.

On my spare time i like to draw, sing, act and just create in general. I also like to swim, sleep,and sleep some more.

I may not sound like it right now but i am usually alot sillier than this. This must be the most serious sounding profile about me i have ever writen and it is slightly disturbing.

If we have nothing in common, e-mail me anyways i like to just talk about stuff, teach me somthing new, and maybe i could intoduce you to somthing new as well. I like alot of things, i just couldn't think of all of them. ^_^

Konnichiwa! Watashi no namae Michele desu.

I have 8 weeks of Japanese Level 1 under my belt and want to practice a bit and get to know some people in Japan!

I live in Seattle, Washington, USA, and have been to many European countries in the past, and in many US and N. Am. places. 9gatsu 19nichi Tokyo ni ikimasu... for the first time! I am excited to see L'Arc~en~Ciel live at the Tokyo Dome. Oh - I am kind of obsessed with Japanese rock music! I also watch a lot of Japanese movies (and other movies from all over the world) and try to read and write and learn as much as I can...

I am married, and have three cats. I am a massage therapist, dance teacher, and artist. My husband is a chef. I also like to swim, be by or on the water as much as possible, read, paint, go to museums, shop, eat, and learn new things.

One last thing: I am hoping to maybe meet someone that I could meet up with on my visit for some company, and I could return the favor if you want to come to Seattle. I could also trade therapy massage for a couch to sleep on, if that is possible. NOt required to write though! I am just keeping all my options open for my best travel experience!
