Favorite notes: White plum, sandalwood, white peach, green tea, jasmine, orange, vanilla, musks, woods - anything and everything with a dusky spice to it ...
Very food-y scents and I are mortal enemies, however. Coconut is my arch-nemesis. (Unfortunate, as I was really hoping Monsterbait: Underpants and Sugar Skull would work on me. Alas, I just smell foul.)
Oddly enough, cinnamon is amped up to obnoxious, headache-inducing levels on me, but things like clove and cardamom are AWESOME. (Which is why I'm so sad Bakeneko didn't work out on me. I luff kitties and Japanese mythology.)

Interests
My interests are broad and change daily, though they tend to fall in the artsy-fartsy liberal-arts category. Right now, I'm rekindling my love for writing, reading, drawing, sewing, and discovering the mind-rotting joy of comic books. I also never fingerpainted enough as a child, so I'm making up for it now with a metric ton of acrylics and cheap kraft-store brushes. <br /><br />Traditional Japan is my biggest interest, though; I'm currently working on my 4th (5th, if you include my time in Tokyo under a different teacher and school) year of Japanese Tea Ceremony lessons (Urasenke school), and if I ever learn how to make my own kimono, I'll start in on formal kitsuke lessons next! Someday, I'll get the guts to move to Japan longer than a few months of studying abroad. Someday. . . (But I'll settle for the UK and all its castles if I must!)

Astrological Info
I'm a bad Buddhist, but I'm working on it! I really suspect being a vengeful, grudge-bearing, long-memoried Scorpio means the quest to give up attachment to this world and all its suffering is just that much harder. Bah.
Of course, I'm also Year of the Dog, so I'm a *loyal and hardworking* vengeful, grudge-bearing, long-memoried Scorpio.
Something tells me I'm screwed. o.O:
