And I totally have a question.
HOW DOES IT FEEL getting a 'Meet Pixie' thread? XD
NINA!! *clings*
Erm, to be honest...completely surreal
I can remember one of my first posts on SS being in the Meet Orchideae thread - yep, Jess had that username at the time. Never really thought that I would one day have one of my own, but it is a real honor and I am so glad that I stuck around

Does that mean that you're native American but live in Japan?
Also, I LOVE YOUR WEDDING! It's so Disney-ish and I love that.
Actually Japan's my favorite country since I was fifteen years old
not far ago 
so everything relates to it I adore!
Ahem. Moving on.
Question two, I always am impressed by Kurumi's answers at classes and I do agree with Scabior that the girl swallowed a dictionary, where does that come from? You? Or merely her?
You would be surprised how often I hear that comment
I am 100% American - born and raised in California with a 5 year hiatus in New Mexico. As a little random tidbit, I DO have a little Native American blood in me
but I know that isn't what you meant, so moving along
THANK YOU! The ceremony and reception took place at Tokyo Disney Sea - was actually all my husband's idea to get married there. I picked a good one! Japan certainly has a lot of interesting things and a fascinating culture
I am still learning new things everyday!
Scabior and Sierra actually
Erm, some of Kurumi's knowledge comes from my own. Astronomy, for example, is something that I have been fascinated in since I was about 10 and, growing up the daughter of a NASA engineer, there was a lot of talk about it and camps that I went to (SPACE CAMP!!!). Mostly though, I do research on the internet *pets google*

I suppose this has a lot to do with my work schedule. As I mentioned, I am an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan which, depending on the school, can mean that you are just taking up space as the resident foreigner in the room so that Japanese children see you and realize that "hey! foreigners are not just in the movies!" I kid you not. You would be amazed at the mentality in this country sometimes.
So...that being said, my work schedule is from 8:15 until 4:00 with spans of free time throughout the day. As you can see from this alone, I have LOTS of free time. After work, I do my grocery shopping on the way home (pass several supermarkets on my bike) and I am home no later than 4:30 or 5 each day.
Other than that, I have really quick fingers?

so for that I have to ask you a question
or two.... How does it feels to be an auror? ._. and What's your favorite soccer team?
besides Real Madrid It feels awesome to walk around with two wands
I keep one in my left boot and the other in a nifty device under my sleeves - won't tell you which one though
*ahem* BUT, in all seriousness, it was a bit o______________O at first as I tried to get used to everything, but now it is a lot of fun and I am just happy to be able to give back to the community that has already given me so much *squishes you all*
Soccer teams...I don't suppose listing off some Japanese ones would really be helpful
but will anyway. My prefecture has a team called Urawa Red Diamonds that I used to follow UNTIL my favorite player went to a different prefecture to play. So, now I am more rooting for Nagoya Grampus with a little of Osaka Gamba on the side
In terms of European teams...you really can't go wrong with the Champions League. Arsenal...Chelsea...
Although, I did tear up a bit when Yuto Nagatomo joined Inter and helped them win the Italian Cup *wibbles*
