ME: Well. I'm Zandra. I graduated from university in 2009 with a liberal arts major in Japanese and minor in Chinese. Right now I'm teaching English to kindergardeners in South Korea.
My interests include dance (ballroom, swing and blues mostly, but I love all kinds of social dancing), webdesign, reading (books or manga), drawing, water skiing (only in the summers ;_;) sailing (I'm not very good, but it's a lot of fun...) cosplay, attending anime cons, jogging (when I can make time), language study, and travel. I played softball through middle school and high school.
I mentioned anime cons, and this is probably one of the biggest drains on my finances. I've been attending A-kon since 2001, and I've also been to Ushi-con twice, Yaoi-con once, Katsucon twice, and AnimeUSA once. I love cosplaying and making costumes, and I've made many for myself as well as for friends. I'll try and add more to this "about me" page but for now, I'll leave you with more costume stuff :)
