oh my, aoi!
what's your name and age, babe?
my name? there's really nothing special about it, i guess. miyazawa aoi is what my parents named me. it's japanese tradition that i introduce myself with my last name first and then first name, but i guess were not in japan now, ne? my parents were natives to japan, but despite this i was given a middle name even though it's fairly uncommon in the country. perhaps i should introduce myself more familiarly to you? i'm aoi takumi miyazawa. a while back i was often made fun of by my first name. naturally 'aoi' is a common name amongst baby girls, so as to why my parents gave me that name i dont know. the two had originally wanted a baby girl and i guess were a little disappointed when they got me instead. maybe they just liked the name 'aoi' and decided to give it to me without question. i really don’t mind. anyways, so far i've been alive for a total of fifteen years, but with my height and slight appearance, to some i may seem younger.
i like mysterious people. you got any secrets?
doesn’t everyone? well maybe not, but promise not to laugh at mine. i might cry. anyways, i'm afraid of the dark. yeah, i know it's kind of silly, but i take this fear to new heights. i'm deathly afraid of the dark. i sleep with the light on and i'm always inside by sundown. in all honestly i don’t even know how it came into being. it just kinda was a quality with me. i've always grown up in an extremely superstitious family and maybe that helped a bit. that or maybe i'm too much of a child at heart... blame my OCD?
you think you look
well if you put it that way, maybe i pretty much am. well... that's not all that true. i don’t even really like joking about it. through my eyes, when i look into the mirror, i don’t see the most 'handsome' or 'prettiest' or 'cutest' person around. i just see me and sometimes i wish i were someone else. i guess my eyes have to be my best quality. people say it's a doorway to your soul and maybe that's true. my eye color is a dark chocolate drowned shade that is usually often mistaken for black as other asian descents. i don’t see it that way and i guess i often act more surprised than i should when people say that. my face is fairly feminine and fairly childish according to some. this just helps when it comes to mistakes and inferences made about my age. i stand at about 5'6" and i'm often the victim of height jokes. i've always been told that height wise i'll eventually catch up to everyone else. i'm... still kind of waiting for that, but i've mostly become rather proud of my height. i like being short. anyways, i really like sticking out in a crowd. often times my current feel and style is taken from musical inspiration. i like watching the jrockers and visual kei artists of japan, so i guess in return i try to dress like them. my hair is usually spiked out and messy while being drowned out in hairspray and hair gel. along with this, my hair color often changes. i like the feel of something new and i think it's fun to dye it. usually i try to stay more towards lighter blondes or maybe even a dark brown or black. lately i've grown a liking to my 'grayish' colored hair. adults seem to hate it, but i think it just gives me a feel of individuality in a fun way. yay for hair dye!
as for my style, it kind of follows along the line of japanese street fashion... despite my current location. i often wear fairly odd clothes in other peoples' eyes, but i do like to mix and match. maybe wear formal wear for an everyday occasion.
got any distinguishing features?
i love sticking out... maybe even a little too much. despite my age, a while back one of my friend's older brother got a job as a body piercer. kinda weird, ne? well anyway, the two of us were just joking around, and me being a little ambitious, asked... well more like begged his older brother to give me a few piercings. my friend's brother was pretty gullible and apathetic, so he gave me a lip piercing. there's one distinguishing feature. anyways, with me being a 'weirdo', i also got a couple of ear piercings, and for fun, i clip on a little cheap chain from like the dollar store to my earring and lip piercing. lets just say mom and dad threw a huge fit about it, and i usually just get to wear my facial piercings and 'accessories' when i'm out of the way of my parents, but that's basically it. i guess my hair kind of sticks out too, maybe. it defies all gravity!
who do people say you look like?
some people say that i look like hongo kanata. i just don’t see it. where's the resemblance? i'd say i look more like michael jackson than anything else. that was a joke, so why arent you laughing? fine. maybe there are some similarities with hongo-san, but i really dont enjoy being compared. if i was, couldn’t it be like to someone who looks like matsumoto takanori? he looks pretty B.A. to me. or maybe even lee jun ki. girls get all 'starry eyed' for him.
what words describe you? maybe because opposites attract, y'know.
all my life i've never acted my age to be honest, yo. i don’t think that'll ever change. i'm pretty sarcastic and i don’t take much things seriously. quirky. there's one word that describes me. i make a habit out of anything, and i guess i'm also a fairly paranoid person. i kind of always try to find the worst in people and i seem to always suspect a hidden agenda of some sorts. believe this or not, most of this should be disregarded if you're meeting me for the first time... or you just don’t know me all that well. i'm actually pretty shy. well no. scratch that. i'm very shy. maybe even extremely overly sensitive. yes i like sticking out. and yes i like attention, but does any of that make sense? i have trouble with words, really. when i have a thought, usually i just try to get it out. blurt it. i guess it also makes me pretty dang blunt. aside from this, i'm also not exactly the smartest person around. to be honest, i'm a complete ditz. at least i'm cute, though. right?
habits can be kind of funny, don't you think?
haha! maybe sometimes. like i kinda said before, i make habits really easily. for one, it almost seems like a 'natural defense for my life' that i avoid any form of the dark. i'm serious. i'll bite your head off if the lights go out... almost no joke. anyways, i also have those small average little habits that are rather common. i bite my nails when i'm nervous, grind my teeth when i'm mad, and add in random 'like's to any phrase. heck. i barely even ever make eye contact.
what're some of your likes and dislikes?
hmm. how about we start with likes? anyways, i love the taste of oranges! orange soda, orange juice, orange anything. pfft. to me my water is basically orange juice. i also love music. it's a passion of mine and i take it extremely seriously. just about any criticism to my favorite artist could and probably would make me cry. isn’t snow one of the most prettiest things on earth? i love snow. i don’t really have a background to it, but that's at least something. cartoons and candy aren’t too bad either. as for me, i'd say that i also adore company. i can be a little clingy, but i just love the thought of having someone there.
going on to dislikes, one of my ultimate pet peeves is people whom pop their gum. i hate it. i almost hate it as much as having to repeat myself or being told 'no'. i also hate work in general. maybe that's why i don’t play and instrument of any kind, or play any sports. practicing would just about kill me. i also hate people who talk condescendingly to me and make fun of me. it aggravates me a huge extent.
you've got some weaknesses? you shouldn't tell me, i'll use it against you. you've got strengths, too?
does the wonderfully delicious and fabulous aoi have weaknesses? seriously. i thought i was rather dull. did you actually mean that question in a sincere way? anyways, i guess trying to turn the question around is useless. like superman, i have my kryptonite. for one, since coming to france i've had to adjust languages, there's number one. i've been jumping from language to language all through out my life, and french... isn’t one of the easiest. you can tell. i often use fragments and my french vocabulary is horrible. that's not all. let's talk about math. worst subject on the face of the earth. worst thing that's ever happened to me and i'll bet everything that it's what’s going to kill me. i'm also fairly hot headed. it's real easy to get me riled up about anything. even extremely stupid and pointless subjects. lets also just add as a prelude to me that the dark is in fact and will always be my biggest fault. i hate it. there's just something there about it...
don’t think that this doesn’t make me superman, though. sure. maybe i've been bumped down to batman, but i wont mourn over it in 'emo corner'. anyways, for one i'm also extremely insightful and i tend to be optimistic. i'm extremely trustworthy and i usually try my best to brighten up a moment.
what are the main points of your lifetime?
so i was originally born and raised in japan. nothing really special, but pa was a travelling business man. i spent my first couple of years in kanagawa before dad had invested in a move to seoul korea. korean became my native tongue despite my japanese decent, and i had a rather normal life. as a child, i was always frightened of the dark. my parents knew this. heck. everyone knew this. as i got older though, people got worried about me. my fear started increasing and i started speaking to a ‘doctor’ about it. about ten years old was when i was classified as someone with OCD. obsessive compulsion disorder. this was what seemed to be my deathly fears, but suddenly i was treated different. people were talking to me like i was stupid, or something. like i could suddenly not understand them because i had OCD. i didn’t catch it like a cold. i was born with it, so why was everyone suddenly treating me differently? i didn’t get it at first, but i brushed it off. about a year later we made a sudden move to las vegas nevada. america was a strange place to me, but i made most of my friends there. i grew up mostly semi-normal 'till i turned fourteen and yet another move was to france. i really loathed the idea, and i admit that i pushed off the need of learning the language. basically i became the 'foreigner' trying to talk to other people through a mixture of korean and english. eventually when i started attending a private school, i was required to learn the language and i came to know just enough to get me by. really i'm just sitting back and kind of watching my life fly by. there's not much i can do, or decide to do. guess that makes me the bad guy.
the worst point of your life must have sucked, yeah?
pfft. yeah. in all honesty, though, i've always imagined bad things. nothing really 'bad' had ever happened to me. call me fortunate... or call me boring. if i grouped together all the over seas moves, those would have to be the worst. really moving from one country to another takes a lot of time, money, and dedication. you have to learn a new language, and you really cant take very much belongings with you. at the time, really all we got were a couple of average sized boxes, and whatever we could fill those up with was what we were taking. i remember having to sell loads of my belongings and being treated the way you are when you come from another country and are so different was another emotionally breaking thing.
but i guess the best time made up for it? it always does.
my best memory? hmmm. i've never really thought of it. i'd have to say that really my time in las vegas summed up some of my favorite things. my friends were huge parts of my life there. we all did everything together! hmmm. i really wish i could think of something to be exact with. i really don’t know. i'm still young-ish. i can still make good memories with the time i have.
hi, i'm reita and i think i'm pretty
Seunghyun was never a fan of crowds. The pushing, shoving, yelling, the large numbers of people. It was just one of those things that Seunghyun happened to dislike. He wasn’t very fond of being in large groups of people either. Friends really only being an exception. Family... not so much. when meeting up with family, it was almost like a reality game show. 'Clash of the families' in a way. Now Seunghyun was born and raised in a family full of competition. Everyone was a competitor and the 'events' ranged. Whoever had the prettiest wife or most handsome husband. The most well behaved child. Who had more money. The nicest house. It had almost escalated to a point where when you called a sibling or cousin you didn’t ask 'How are things for you?' you asked 'So what kind of money have you been spending? Really? Guess what's happened with me...'
Though this was Seunghyun's family, tonight should have been a time where he shouldn’t have been concerned about it. He was hundreds of miles away from home, in a different country, influenced by drastically different people, why should he care for what’s happening over seas? But really that wasn’t true. Miku was attending Epic High. That meant that, with no doubt, he must have been closer than 'over seas'. Still, getting paranoid about it was useless. Seunghyun couldnt break off blood lines. Miku was going to be his cousin no matter what feuds the two got in. Miku was always going to be the failure of the family And yet... this intrigued Seunghyun. How Miku could so easily brush everything off... almost as if he were unaffected by the where-abouts of the whole family. Stress free. How that was something Seunghyun could long for. To not be worried about or know that everyday he walked through the halls of Epic High, somewhere his father was disappointed. Somewhere his mother was tired she would be forced to defend him when her husband and Seunghyun's father exploded about it. Surely others were disappointed to. Surely Seunghyun had hurt his father too. Maybe it wasn’t all just disappointment...
Seunghyun broke away from his thoughts as the distance between himself and Ayumi became smaller and smaller, being able to examine Ayumi more clearly by the closeness. No doubt she was as beautiful as ever. The florescent lights complimenting her light skin and dress in a perfect manner. Ayumi never seemed to fail at looking her best, though. Even though when Seunghyun had first glanced at her and he didn’t give her a second look, if it weren’t by accidents, it would have been a large mistake to have brushed it off so easily. Ayumi had contributed to Seunghyun's new happiness at Epic High greatly. He had someone to talk to and depend on as both a friend and something more. She was an emotional support, and if he didn’t look towards her with such fondness, no doubt she would have been an important friend to Seunghyun. A family away from home.
"'Handsome'." He repeated with a childish pout. "That’s all I get?" His expression lightened slightly as he brushed a stray strand of ayumi's hair away from her porcelain like face. Though Seunghyun wouldn’t object that Ayumi looked beautiful, there was never really a time when he thought she didn’t. Surely through Seunghyun's eyes, Ayumi was by far the nicest looking in the room. No Queen Bee could top her, and no Homecoming Queen could look better. Homecoming Queen's got a gun. That’s saying a lot.
Seunghyun was sure that the average senior Queen Bee would win the Homecoming Queen's crown like any other year. That never seemed to change, and it got old extremely fast. The 'Queens' usually were so shallow by night's end that they were almost bighting every other girl's head off, their hearts set on showing that they were the 'best' around. Perhaps Seunghyun wouldn’t mind a change. And to see Ayumi become Homecoming Queen would be a decent change. Seunghyun wouldn’t whine or cry about it if he weren’t nominated Homecoming King, but to see Ayumi up on the stage for a delightful change from a Queen Bee could no doubt brighten up the night. No mascara lined tears from all the other girls who had been put down by the Queen Bees. In fact, it could be a wake up call for the Queen Bees.
"You look breath-taking." Seunghyun finally complimented, despite being well aware that he wasn’t the best person to put words together. Now Seunghyun had a lot to say, but putting things in a way to state them was terribly and horribly difficult. Often times Seunghyun was that person that gave you a compliment that accidentally had a double meaning. Though he'd mean it in a good way, you cant help but wonder about the other side. Seunghyun sincerely meant his comment, though.
Ayumi's comment had broken his thoughts. Tonight his train of thought seemed to be a complete mess. It was everywhere and anywhere. "Well I'm sure that seeing a Queen Bee getting bumped from the crown can’t be that bad." Seunghyun replied with a slightly entertained laugh. Ayumi could always be the light of the moment.
