I adore the maiko/geisha culture. kimono. japanese doramas. I really love the work of Ai Yazawa - a lot of it is subculture based (check out NANA, my favorite!)

I'm an art nerd too. I'm basically a triple threat of anti-social.; ▶ Reply to This

There is a japanese garden about 10 min from where I live. I went there after having a bad day at school a few months back and it was calming. There is a big one in San Francisco that I want to go and see, they do the tea ceremony as well.

I've been to Wolfe Manor in Clovis, CA twice, Suicide Bridge in Pasadena, CA, and The Granada Theater in Ontario, CA.
