A. Well! True born type!,
'cause both of my parents are A. It's a common type among
Japanese, isn't it?

*Literature remains my
eternal passion! I've been missing Japanese literature so
much of late. I rushed into a bookstore which sells books in
Japanese, and bought about 15 books in one swoop... I stay
at home and have been grappling with the books like a hungry
beast.
*Buying furniture, collecting furniture and interior goods
*Though I said I've been growing my hair long, I've had it
cut. Ou, la, la. (Girls who had their hair short once would
know this feeling?)
*Of course email is a tool indispensable for business and
private life, but cruise the Net too. I learned about
several sites from Toshiba EMI's engineer the other day.
They are awesome -- quite interesting, Mesdames! I recommend
first of all two of them, Modern Living and otogaiworld-------.
Visit them late at night, then they'll be further to the
point.

*To evade saying "I
suppose it's OK"*To puzzle others*Independent action of
my left little finger*Basketball*Cleaning. Really, I have
confidence at it. I get strangely obsessed about the
cleanliness of my house. If I suddenly disappear from the
music world, you might see Hikaru Utada working as a helper
at some inn in Atami.

*Hoop-shaped pierced
earrings (again) and accessories with silver and gold mixed,
though I used to focus on silver only before (does that mean
that I've grown a bit?)
*Stimulant seasonings such as tabasco, sesame oil with chili
peppers, vinegar and wasabi.
*I'm into long baths lately. Throughout the world, whether
at home in New York, in Japan or in a hotel in Europe, I'm
indebted to Japan's famous hot spring bath powder from
Tsumura. My father said he likes it, too. Don't you think I
have fairly composed daily schedule, though my looks may be
quite far out....
*It's a fairly recent thing but I've become very fond of
making drinks myself. I bought an espresso maker and coffee
maker and make them myself every day. I also discovered a
cute teacup set at DKNY and I make Japanese tea often and
drink it. I squeeze oranges every morning to make juice...
Are these things so common that everybody does them? For me
who doesn't cook, it's great progress!
