Damn it feels like FOREVER since I last visited here…

It has been about 3 months though.

“OH GOD, KAONA IS BACK.” *runs and hides*

or

“Who the **** are you?” is what the newbies are probably thinking.

Either way, I have returned. I was extremely unmotivated in learning Japanese once I returned from my 17 day holiday in Turkey – I even stopped watching anime!!!

I just wanted to say that I’m once again motivated to learn Japanese and my hiatus has made me realise what I really want to be and that’s working/living in Japan. I even considered learning Korean instead (2NE1 can be even more motivating for me than Hello! Project and Vocaloids combined – also the fact that Korean Vocaloids are making a debut just adds to the temptation) but deep down I know I wouldn’t have as much long-term passion for learning as I do with Japanese.
I am going to be working a lot harder at Japanese from now on (I was a slacker) because life is too short to waste time. I’ll even cut down my time on RuneScape if I have to. *le gasp!*

Considering I want this to be a re-introduction thread, I’ll introduce myself…

Hi. My name is Abbie (although I go by Kaona or Winter as well) and I am a 15 year old girl living in the UK. I have a passion for Asian culture and languages – particularly Japanese and Korean. I’m addicted to the Internet, dancing and Pepsi. I like to treat people with respect as long as I get the same.
I want to live in Japan so I can go see the cherry blossoms and meet my all time favourite girl band Buono! (that’s if they haven’t disbanded by the time I get there – which knowing my luck they probably will have done.)
I originally got interested in Japan by watching animes but my love and interests have deeply expanded.

So, to the newbies hello! I’m a little forum stalker and the welcoming girl. ^_^ (Oh god I have weeks worth of posting to do.)
To the other guys – I know you’re probably thinking “Oh no…” but I’m afraid it’s just too bad. XD

On another note…how have you all been?
