I’m a very random, energetic person. I laugh at stupid things, I try and find happiness in the simple things, and I love to be creative. I just graduated from college and have my Associates and Bachelors degree :D. I’ve been on the internet since 1997 but didn’t get into webdesign and graphics until around 2001-2002. I ran a Cardcaptors fansite with a friend (Sakura Garden) and also ran my own site which was called Cardcaptors Rocks.
I’ve had 5 domains, sora-hana.net is my 4th domain. I used to own the following:
Panyo-Panyo.net (thanks to an old internet friend named Satoshi)
Fukai-Mori.net (was a site to house my Cosplay)
akwplace.com (domain my dad had gotten for me, but I lost access to a long time ago D: )
I also own:
Other random facts about me…
Because I am a random person >:D
-English is my language, but I can also speak basic Japanese. I’ve taken Japanese classes in college (I, II, III). Have a sample of my (not very awesome) Japanese:
Watashi wa amanda desu. Genki to shiwase desu. Ima seikatsu o tsumaranandesu. Hatarakitai onegashimasu!
(I’m Amanda. I’m energetic and happy. Right now, life is boring. I wish to work please!!)
-I’m an only child
-I taught myself how to use majority of things on the computer.
-I have worked at Disney World.
-I love sweets (especially vanilla chais and pina coladas)
-I LOVE to make friends, and I like to talk ALOT.
About the name…
What does it mean?! Sounds like another language…
Sorahana is not an English word obviously; it is Japanese.
I came up with the alias one day while watching Kaleido Star. I love this anime, it always gives me optimism and it makes me smile :D. (I recommend it if you’re in a bad mood!)
The main character’s name is Sora, which is where the “Sora” part of the name came from. Sora tranlates to “sky” in english. Hana translates to “flower”, so sorahana=“skyflower”.
I like flowers, I like looking at the sky (and taking pictures of it) so I thought it was appropriate.
I tend to try and go by that alias more then my others aliases. More about my other aliases in the FAQ.
The Blog
The blog’s name is Wild Spice because it’s a song I like by japanese pop artist Masami Okui.
