Hello there and welcome to my profile (best viewed in internet explorer). I am Chibi but I also answer to Eric or Buggles and a long list of pet names that various friends have given me.
I know my profile is long and looks like a huge wall of text (sorry, I tend to babble) but if you took the time to read it I'd be very grateful. =] It's only here really for people like me who prefer to know something about someone before trying to engage them in conversation. If you're not really a profile reader and you're looking at this wall of text going, "oh my god, I'll never get through this," that's cool, I don't mind. Like I said, it's just here because I like to read profiles, so it's giving people the option to do so if they want. If you comment me it's likely you'll get a reply.. Of some kind. Also, disregard that my username makes me sound like an angsty baby bat. I did, in fact, make this account back when I was an angsty little baby bat, and let's face it, we all went through a phase such as that. I just can't be bothered creating a whole new account for something as silly as changing a dumb username.
A few things about me... I was spawned in 1992 which makes me 20 years of age. I am currently studying molecular genetics and biotechnology at Curtin University in Perth. Yep, I'm a science geek. I do love the name of the course I'm studying, it just sounds so gosh darn impressive. XD If you're wondering about my ethnicity, I'm half Japanese (explains the name), but I was born in Australia and don't tend to think of myself as Japanese at all. I have lived 19 of my 20 years in Australia and the other year was spent in Japan when I was just a little munchkin, 1998-1999. You will probably find that I am very un-Japanese, despite living with my Japanese father and having lived in Japan for a year.
You will notice that my profile lacks a rating bar. There is a reason for this. That is that I am here to talk to people and hopefully make some friends. I'm not here to win some ridiculous online popularity contest, nor do I feel the need for reassurance all the time from complete strangers that I am awesome or pretty. Besides, the rating system loses all meaning when rating everyone a 10 has become something you just do and to do otherwise is considered impolite or downrating. Honestly, I've seen people have the biggest cry over being rated anything less than 10, it's absolutely pathetic. Even if I did believe in the rating system, there are VERY few people I'd consider worthy of 10s. Besides, comments are nicer than numbers anyway.
People have told me before that I'm not the sort of person they expected me to be. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing I have no idea, guess it depends what you expect of me. I like to take it as a compliment because whether they mean it in a good way or a bad way, at least it means I'm sort of interesting to them, something I don't tend to think of myself as.
I can be terribly shy and I am somewhat socially awkward but I do enjoy meeting new people. I may seem quiet at first but once I get know someone I will generally warm up to them fairly quickly... Or back away at a fast pace depending on whether I find them agreeable or not. =P My social skills have seemed to improve of late, but it's a work in progress. I am an honest person. If I do not like you, you will probably know about it. I feel no need to sugar-coat things to protect the feelings of people I neither know nor care to know, but I try not to be unnecessarily mean and I don't say hurtful things for the sake of hurting people.
For some odd reason I seem to get along with people of the opposite sex better than those of my own. I just don't understand women at all a lot of the time. Most of the girls I know are pretty irrational. Don't get me wrong, I love girls, I just find them hard to get on with at times because we just seem to think in completely different ways.
My friends are very, very dear to me. I've never had many but I prefer it that way. I'm very close with the few friends I do have and I love them very much. I never had much of a connection with any of my family except for my mother, who is totally awesome, by the way. This sounds really bad but aside from her and my father, to a lesser extent, I don't care much for my family. It's not that I hate them or anything, I've just never felt any sort of closeness with any of them. Just thought that was worth a mention because people always seem surprised to hear that I hardly know, nor really care to know my aunts, uncles, counsins, grandparents or other extended family. I just never felt any need to be connected with them. I have that sort of closeness with my friends instead.
I can be serious when the occasion calls for it but I usually like to just be a kid while I can. Yes, I admit I like to be immature. I am STILL into Pokemon! After all, one is only young once, so can you blame me? I plan to milk it for all it's worth thank you very much!
I do not cuss often (in public anyway) unless I am in a particularly obnoxious and offensive mood (usually when I'm at work or sometimes in the lab at uni). Unless you manage to string together a bunch of curse words in an extremely amusing, imaginative or unique way, swearing all the time just makes you sound uneducated. It also loses its shock value, especially when you're trying to insult someone. Anyone can call someone a bitch or an asshole. I should think I'd be far more shocked if someone used a bit of originality when they insulted me rather than just the standard, "Hurr durr you're a cunt!" Honestly, an original insult, one that's well thought out and holds some truth so it actually hits home, is a memorable one. Even though it hurts you kind of go, "wow, that was actually a good call. =/"
I do not usually care what people think of me. I have my opinions and they have theirs. That is all there is to it. I could hardly hope to change anyone's mind if they just plain don't like me for who I am anyway.
I am an atheist. When someone comes up with tangible evidence of a "god" existing, I'll happily rethink my whole stance on the issue, but until then I'm going to enjoy living my life the way I want to live it and decide for myself what is right and wrong, because life is too short for me to want to devote my time and energy to trying to please something that I don't even know for sure exists. If I'm wrong, surely "god" cannot blame me because he sure as hell didn't bother to make his existence known to me. I like to think, however that I am quite tolerant of other people's religious beliefs. As long as I haven't got people knocking on my door and trying to convert me, I'm happy to live and let live.
Aside from studying at university and working at McDonalds (I know right, gross), I also make and sell hats, fascinators, jewellery and other accessories. I don't have a web store yet but I'm hoping to set one up soon. For now, if anyone's interested, you can check out some of my stuff at my Deviant Art page by clicking here.
My other hobbies include reading, gaming, sewing, baking, shooting (oh yes, I do love guns), dancing (I do burlesque and will soon be doing swing dancing), gymnastics, and painting Warhammer 40k miniatures. I enjoy the occasional night out with some good friends but most of the time I take little pleasure in things such as parties and other social gatherings anymore. To be honest, I can't be bothered hanging out with a bunch of dickheads who think I enjoy their company when they're drunk off their tits and acting like douchebags. If I am to socialise, I prefer to do so with close friends and/or people I'm not going to be embarrassed to be associated with.
I usually try to be polite and friendly unless, of course, people give me a reason not to. But if you show me respect I will do the same, even if I do not particularly like you. It's a case of treating people how you wish to be treated.
As you can probably tell from the typing here, I am a wee bit of a spelling and grammar nazi. My advice to the animals we know as 'the youth of today' is this: "134RN 70 3NG115H P10X! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP BUTCHERING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!" Yes, I do misspell things on purpose when I'm just fooling around, but I'm not so lazy as to type without using vowels all the time, nor do I think it's necessary to caPitalIse rAndoM LettErs or shorten my words to the point that my typing is an indecipherable jumble of letters. I've seriously seen people type without using a single vowel for paragraphs! It makes you look like an imbecile! So if you ever do end up messaging or commenting me, please type like you've had some form of education. If nothing else, I'll respect you a bit more for it.
And now for a physical description. My hair is dark brown and extremely long, falling just past my hips. I dye bits of my fringe crazy colours but usually don't bother with the rest because there's just so much of it. I guess you could say my eyes are hazel. In natural light they look more greyish-green with orange/brown in the middle but indoors they look more dark brown and you can hardly see the green at all. I am not great in height or weight, in fact I stand at 4'10" and weigh not much more than 50 kilograms. I am naturally pretty thin and have a rather small frame, but somehow wound up with killer curves. =P Oh! And I have a 20" waist thanks to a bit of corset training. *Glee!* I do love my tiny waist. ^_^ I'm ridiculously vain and have farrrrr too many pictures of myself, as you may have noticed.
A few odd facts: *It's my nature to be a bit of a flirt and a tease, please don't take that to mean that I want to jump in bed with you, nor that I mean to lead people on. *I take much pride in my appearance and am not ashamed to admit that I'm vain to the point that it's ridiculous. As a teenager I suffered from low self-esteem and body image issues. It makes for a nice change to be able to truthfully say that I like myself and the way I look and am happy to just be me. *As a general rule, I'm not a people person. Try as I might I usually prefer the company of books and video games to most people. *I do not like soft drinks/soda/pop/carbonated drinks/fizzy stuff/whatever you want to call it. I only drink soft drinks mixed with some sort of strong alcohol. *I'm uber paranoid about getting sunburnt (and god forbid I ever get a tan!!) so I am ALWAYS wearing sun screen and ridiculous amounts of clothing when outside. *I am very affectionate towards people I like/care about. *I realised recently that my boyfriend and I are probably the most disgustingly cute couple I know. Like, so cute it makes everyone within a 5 mile radius of us uncomfortable and embarrassed. And you know what? I don't care. It feels good to love someone and be able to unabashedly express that love. *I'd be lying if I said someone's appearance wasn't the first thing I noticed about a stranger when I meet them. *I hate public speaking. It's one of my greatest fears. *I panic and get very anxious about things rather easily.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. Reading about my own perception of myself probably doesn't help when it comes to deciding for yourself whether you like me or not.
Thank you for actually bothering to read all this. I realise it was probably very boring but I do appreciate it. =] Well I shall leave you to it then. *love, hugs and wet, sloppy kisses*

Who are you to say who is and isn't a "true goth"?) -Pseudo-intellectuals (people who think they're super intelligent just because they know a few polysyllabic words, and they use them at every opportunity- even when it doesn't make sense- because they think it makes them sound smart) -Twilight and it's hordes of fans -Spending any significant length of time in the sun -People taking pictures of me without asking first >.< How ill mannered of them! -The fact that life is so short... You're only young once and most of the time not for long enough... I know so many people who are trying to grow up way to fast.

I could seriously rant for ages about stuff I don't like. I think maybe I'll save it for the journal.
Favorite Music
I like music from pretty much every genre (seriously, from classical to hip-hop, country to metal, jazz to electronic music, classic rock to weepy old goth songs, I listen to a bit of every genre, but that doesn't mean I like EVERYTHING from any given genre). What I listen to at any given time usually depends a lot on my mood, but Aussie hip-hop is something I can enjoy any time (and I'm SHAMELESS, nay, PROUD of that fact), and I don't listen to anywhere near as much metal as I used to, though there's a lot of metal bands on this list. Mainly, I listen to it once in a blue moon for old times' sake, as I was very fond of it in my early teens. I find a lot of it sounds the same, it's not very imaginative and I don't feel like I can relate as much to it anymore. But in a way, that music was with me through a hard time in my life so I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for the bands I was fond of then, even if it's a little embarrassing to admit. Believe it or not, this is a short list of a few favourite artists and bands. There is no WAY I could name ALL the artists I like, at least not without spending a year doing it. *7 Seconds of Love *Alice Cooper *A Perfect Circle *Atreyu *Avenged Sevenfold *Babylon Zoo *Bauhaus *(The) Beatles *(The) Bees *Beethoven *(The) Birthday Massacre *(The) Birthday Party *Bloc Party *Bloodhound Gang *Blue Oyster Cult *Blutengel *Bullet For My Valentine *Chopin *(The) Church *Clannad *(The) Clash *Cradle of Filth *(The) Cranberries *Creature Feature *(The) Cure *D12 *(The) Dandy Warhols *Danzig *David Bowie *Dead Kennedys *Deathstars *Deftones *Depeche Mode *Devil Driver *Dimmu Borgir *Disturbed *Divinyls *DJ CliCHE McCommunism *Doctor Steel *Drapht *(The) Dresden Dolls *Drowning Pool *Emilie Autumn *Eminem *Enya *Evanescence *FGFC820 *Flyleaf *(The) Foo Fighters *Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13 *Garbage *Gary Numan *Genitorturers *(The) Ghost of the Robot *(The) Go Set *Gotye *Guns 'N� Roses *Gwar *Hanzel Und Gretyl *Hilltop Hoods *Hypnogaja *Ill Nino *Immortal Technique *In Flames *Iron Maiden *Jack off Jill *(The) Jam *Jane's Addiction *Jay-Z *JET *Johnny Cash *Joy Division *Kill Hannah *Lacuna Coil *Led Zeppelin *Lordi *Ludacris *Lush *Machine Head *Marilyn Manson *Meatloaf *Michael Buble *Mindless Self Indulgence *(The) Misfits *Morrissey *Mozart *Murderdolls *Muse *Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds *Nightwish *Nine Inch Nails *Nirvana *No Doubt *(The) Offspring *Oingo Boingo *Orff *Orgy *Placebo *(The) Police *(The) Prodigy *Promonium Jesters *Psyclon Nine *(The) Qemists *Queen Adreena *Rage Against the Machine *Rammstein *Red Hot Chili Peppers *(The) Red Paintings *Rick Astley *Robots in Disguise *Rob Zombie *Savage Garden *Schubert *Seether *Silverchair *Simon & Garfunkel *Sing-Sing *Siouxsie and the Banshees *Slayer *Slipknot *Smashing Pumpkins *(The) Smiths *Soundgarden *Stabbing Westward *Stone Sour *Superbus *(The) Sweet *Synical *System of a Down *Tatu *Tears for Fears *Tenacious D *Tony Bennett *Tool *Trivium *Trunk Boiz *Type O Negative *TZU *U2 *Voltaire *Wednesday 13 *(The) White Stripes *White Zombie *Wolfgang Parker *Wolfsheim
