      I haven't - the furthest south I've been in Japan is Kyoto.

      No. I've thought about it, but right now, I don't like any single shape, word, or string of words that much.

      I don't really wear it cause I always end up in places where not attracting mosquitoes is paramount. But when I do, it's Alien by Thierry Mugler or Chanel Chance eau Fraîche.

      I'm not a team player but/so I like running. Actually I love running. It's very satisfying. I also walk a lot, do Pilates and yoga, and screw around with weights and mat exercises.

      No, they don't. I don't really care if you're a racist, but this question still reeks of ignorance and stupidity- both of which are characteristics of racism.

      I eat fish (VERY rarely now) so not a true vegetarian.

      I'm much more aware of what I eat these days, gone are the days when I trusted the FDA for anything remotely true. I don't eat meat and have pretty much cut out fish...focus is on organic foods, variety of produce, and consuming things in as close to their natural state as possible. Which means eating out is tricky and a lot of farmers markets and Whole Foods trips. Some of the things I've been loving lately - kale (especially with cranberries, pecans, and my own dressing I make), muesli (organic oats, almond milk, Amazing Grass chocolate protein powder, shredded coconut, chia seeds), artichokes with hummus, orange/carrot/ginger/lemon juice, raspberry smoothies (organic frozen raspberries, flaxseed, acai juice, pomegranate juice, almond milk, and 0% Greek yogurt), loose leaf oolong tea, quinoa with whatever vegetables are in season, roasted flavored seaweed, arugula/beet salad, spinach smoothies (baby spinach, raw almonds, frozen bananas, flaxseed, almond milk), coconut water with pulp, black bean/avocado salad...I dunno I can't think anymore. I mean I still have things I shouldn't as well - kettle corn, iced lattes, random unavoidable crap especially while traveling. But the more whole foods you eat, the less appealing unhealthy things become. Don't be scared of 'good fats' and always avoid processed when possible. There are a lot of bullets to dodge when making food choices but the more you know about junk food the less inclined you'll be to eat it. If you're not bored to death by this response, try reading In Defense of Food, watching Food Inc., learning about GMOs, Monsanto, slaughterhouse conditions, Roundup, bottled water being kind of a joke...list goes on. It's all very depressing but if we were magically all able to support local and organic, all these fucked up corporations would suffer immensely.

      I hated that one band with the whistling song. Them.

      Followed by Katy Perry.

      It's really not; even many of those who proclaim themselves a "vegetarian" don't know what it entails. Vegetarians don't consume meat, poultry, and fish.

      You've gotta get more specific. Generally speaking, I would say stand in the general area of the one you want and then ignore them, but that might be a terrible thing to say.

      There are certain things that some people do/don't do that I find irritating, but I don't necessarily have a staunch "annoying person profile" for those who I find unquestionably annoying unless we're talking about someone that were to embody all of these qualities at once, I suppose:

      Those who....
      -do not understand the value of their own AND others' privacy.
      -are lazy and lack willpower yet complain incessantly.
      -are oddly complacent.
      -pretend/continue to be friends with individuals they claim to dislike and constantly talk shit about in their absence.
      However, most importantly, I am bothered by those who do not wear pink on Wednesdays.

      Dude I am so scared of this. I haven't been threatened with it yet but I think I would go for the pat-down.

      5'0". Everyone thinks I'm taller though, which is depressing.
