Well I seem to be doing a bunch of grown-up things recently. It must be my time. I bought a cat, tied the knot, committed myself to a gruelling work schedule, and now I have a house to call my own.
Kentaro and I have entered the wonderful world of home ownership, complete with loans and common area fees, and the freedom to lay down tatami flooring and shoji screens wherever we so please. Yatta!
Following ever so subconsciouly in my parents' footsteps, we have purchased a Perez Acres townhouse all of a 2 minute walk from the townhouse I grew up in. It's not new or flashy - but has comfort and nostalgia in spades, plus is right next to a pool and basketball court. AND there's a bloomin' avacado tree in the front yard. When we saw that our eyes lit up - for different reasons. I was thinking, "GUACAMOLE, ALRIGHT!!!" while on Kentaro's mind was, "CALIFORNIA ROLL, YATTA!" I think we'll make a lot of both. :)

Tagged
I have been tagged by Laura.
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
Hmmm well twiddly dee dee, let's see... I'll try to stick to random facts, as the random habits might be a bit revolting to readers.
1. I was named after my wonderful Grandmother, India Olean Brown.
2. I was officially enrolled in and due to commence a Masters of International Communication at Macquarie University when Kentaro dropped out of the sky and proposed, whisking me off to Florida.
3. I lived in a weasel/cockroach/giant spider/flea/jumping mini spider-infested 80 year old barnhouse in rural Japan for one year, and loved it.
4. I sang solo at the Sydney Opera House in an emerald green ballgown.
5. I can devour a jar of Nutella in one sitting with a single chopstick. And I do.
6. I am a regular face on Guam's Visitors' Channel.
7. My cat Cookie is a furry black talking machine. She spouts kitty talk 24/7. Funny stuff.
8. I can kick your ass at Mario Kart 64.
Now comes the tough part. I don't think there are 8 people I know who blog and would actually do this, so I'm cutting the number to 2.
Natalie and Libby. You're on!
