今晩は 皆さん, you can call me Ginger. I hail from Washington DC. I was born under the sign of Gemini in year of the rabbit (兎/토끼띠). Being the bearer of a creative soul, I love doing artistic things.
My hobbies include: cooking & eating, reading, writing, making jewelry, learning languages, pixeling & computer graphics, anime, movies, video games and photography
My favorite actives include: soccer, martial arts (took Taekwondo as a kid) and rollerblading
Things I ♥: sweets, kids (as long as they are not savages), pets, music, hats & sunny days.
My pet peeves are: pests (bugs, human or otherwise) & ugly food
I love watching foreign films because I have a thing for languages. As far as Asian films, I would say there are two major stages in my development that show heavily on my list. I say films because I don't watch a lot of dramas. One of my uncles, heavily influenced the first period of my movie watching. He is a fan of the old school martial arts movies coming out of Hong Kong. So to speak, this where I first cut my teeth. The second period came around when I got older and made the switch to homeschool. Not having such a rigid schedule, I was able to watch the late-night blocks on channels like Starz Edge, IFC, Sundance and TCM. This exposed me to lot of Asian horror and, in the case of TCM, older Japanese movies.
