100% Japanese, but born and raised in California (I speak as much Japanese as I speak Italian). I am the younger of two girls and have two really cute nephews (in small doses of time). I have an Associate Science degree in Graphic Design and am not using it. I've been playing guitar for 15 years but am not that great of a guitar player. I have recently started making wire and bead design jewelry, primarily earrings. I'm addicted to Facebook but have done my best at keeping a private life.
YOUR SIGN: Scorpi-oh-no
FAVE MUSIC ARTIST: My heart flutters for Fall Out Boy, but my personal idol is Jewel Kilcher
FAVORITE COMPOSER: I am my favorite if I could ever compose myself
FAVORITE PASTA: Pesto tortellini, especially when they garnish it with a little chopped tomato.
ITALIAN DESIGNER YOU MOST CLOSELY ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH: Versace
MOTOGUZZI, VESPA, FIAT 500, FERRARI, DUCATI OR COLNAGO?
Ducati... Mmmmmm...
FAVORITE ITALIAN SAYING:
Tutti Frutti... not really Italian, but it's memorable to me thanks to Andrea Perkins.
ITALIAN PARKING STORY:
Domenico driving a tour bus on a gravel-dirt path that is the width of the bus, with Inama's vineyard sloping down to one side. I think the only thing that kept us from sliding down was the intermittent tree.
LONGEST MEAL:
Brunch with my recent ex. GAWD that couldn't have ended sooner for me.
FAVORITE COFFEE - ILLY or ILLY? The kind you chew on. Black, although if I make it at home I admit I am addicted to French Vanilla creamer.
FAVORITE ITALIAN DIRECTOR: I have no idea. I like that Russian director. Oh, also Edgar Wright cracks me up.
MOST PERSONALLY INFLUENTIAL WINES EXPERIENCED:
I drank 1979 vintage wines at both Casanova di Neri and Selvapiana, which personally influenced me because it's my birth year.
