sjturtles-can-fly replied to your post:sjturtles-can-fly replied to your post:Purple,... If you do pick it up again in the future, you should definitely enter some comps and possibly upload a video (if you’re comfortable)! :D Personally I’m hopeless at dancing- I feel rather awkward with my limbs trying to do different things so quickly heh. There were once upon a time some videos floating around from when I was in Uni, but I've misplaced them. If I figure out where they are, I'll send you a link or something. I was pretty good at prechoreographed dances, but social dancing makes me so nervous if I'm not comfortable with the people. I was ok when I was just in the Uni events because I knew a lot of people, but I didn't enjoy it when I tried going outside of that context. I did do martial arts from the time I was three, so that has certainly helped my coordination with stuff. Though my dance instructor sometimes had to remind me that I wasn't trying to hit things.

sjturtles-can-fly replied to your post:Purple, white and grey? :3 Well now I’ve learnt a lot about your study- Wow ballroom in uni? How was it? I guess I was being a poop by choosing Grey but, hey, difficult things are fun (for me to read at least). :P Ooh synesthesia! I have small random bursts of what you described. The study is kind of my room, and it felt sort of weird talking about the bedroom because a lot of the stuff in there belongs to my spouse. I live in the study more than the bedroom. Ballroom was fun! I mostly did standard dances (waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, tango) and I only ever competed in quickstep, waltz, and tango because I hadn't learned enough foxtrot at that point. I did do a show routine with foxtrot though, and it was possibly my favorite, that or quickstep. My uni dance partner and I got first in quickstep and second in tango at the beginner level at the one real comp we went to, and it was a pretty awesome moment for me. I miss it, but outside of Uni I've not had the time or the funds for classes, and finding a partner is super hard. I've still got my fancy dance shoes in the closet though, and maybe I'll pick it back up eventually. I guess that there being lots of answers for Grey just means that more people could ask it of me if they wanted to... I taste sound all the time, and sometimes it's really cool, and sometimes it really sucks (there was this guy I went to Uni with who had a voice that tasted like rotten oatmeal, and it was vile).

sjturtles-can-fly replied to your photoset:The clouds were also pretty awesome, and you can... I love sunsets and all the photos you’re posting look gorgeous! Generally I love the transition from night to day and vice versa because awesome colours. I got up at 5 (a rare feat for me) on Sunday to watch the sunrise at a beach and it was so pretty. Thank you. The weather and my timing provided me with a lovely show, and the pictures definitely don't do that sunset justice. There were so many colors! I love sunsets, but if I see sunrise it's generally because I've not slept yet, so I'm only ok with that in the summer when sunrise in Seattle is really early. Sunrise on the beach is generally really pretty, but here the sun rises over the mountains, so sunsets are what we get over the water.

sjturtles-can-fly replied to your photoset:Handwriting meme for sjturtles-can-fly. (Sorry... Haha posting at the same time? That’s just us. :P Ah if only the ocean could periodically shrink so it would be easier to cross continents. Your cursive is beautiful. Also I forgot to mention it but I got my learner’s car license so prepare for stories. I constantly have to remind myself not to write in cursive at work cause a lot of my younger students can't read it. :( I learned cursive long before block print (kindergarten and fourth grade respectively) and still revert to it when I'm not thinking. I'm glad it's pretty though. My block print is very legible, and people sometimes tell me it's pretty, but I'm much prouder of my cursive. Though it looks even nicer when I have fancy pens. International flights being cheaper would also potentially help... Though in the not to distant future, I should at least be on the correct side of the Pacific, if still not close. Clearly you should go on adventures in Japan or Taiwan while I'm working in one of them. :D Considering I can't drive and can't get a license because I'm too blind, I expect to be allowed to live vicariously! Congratulations on you learner's license.

whoo I love “dark things” too if they’re of the horror variety hoho :3

Ah what do you like? What 'dark things' you interested in? :D

i dont like scary things like horror films ¬¬, im a big wuss ;a; with people being possessed or burnt ghosts and i really hate girls with long dark hair like grudge or the ring OTL

but if ghosts were real i'd love to look for them. I like to read Fortean Times magazine, love learning about famous killers and that stuff too XD

If you haven't seen it, this is quite cool ^^

@sjturtles-can-fly replied to your post:(*_*) : Last time you were surprised? (In a good way, not like a nasty shock.) Whoo congratulations then!! :D I have this funny feeling that I would want you to be my English teacher too haha. Thank you! Every time I hear friend/follower/people I follow on tumblr say things about having bad English teacher experiences, I go all I want to fix it cause I love teaching and I'm apparently pretty good at it (yay!). I just want to be a teacher who is able to both help my students communicate and express themselves better and connect with my students so that they know that they can talk to me if they need to and that I don't bite or scold if they don't understand. Teaching makes me happy, and it makes me feel good about myself. :) And I hope that my followers know that if they are being confused by an English writing thing, they can talk to me about it (I make no promises that I can do tight deadline things, but you guys are my sanity net, so I feel like it is good if I can help you with something).

sjturtles-can-fly replied to your post:Also, ♚ ♛ I think I may have a thing for both bright pink and rainbow hair… but as long as the person can actually pull off (really well) whatever colour their hair is, then I have no objections. I feel like bright pink hair overwhelms a lot of people, but when people make it work then it is super awesome. Rainbow hair is just really cool. There is always going to be a place in my heart that is a happy place for long dark hair on people (possibly especially guys but really in general). Especially long dark hair in fancy hair dos. Or can I put the hair in the fancy hair do? I like doing fancy hair dos, though I'm out of practice cause I don't have anyone's hair to mess with right now.

sjturtles-can-fly replied to your post:☿ ☂ ✐ ✿ heh. :D Wow, my reply to the clothes part now seems very sad and diminished compared to yours. I generally love blues and greens but my wardrobe is predominantly blacks, whites and blues. Have I mentioned that I really like clothes? Like clothes are one of the things that got me into kpop because they wear all these colors and some of the things they wear are really awesome, and they wear those awesome things while singing. I mean, what's not for me to like? I get major clothes envy over kpop clothes sometimes, and then there are the things that just make me go what now... But yeah... Clothes, clothes are pretty and I wish I could find my size readily in the US (I sadly have better luck ordering clothes online from Taiwan and Hong Kong and Korea than I do buying any clothes anywhere in the US, this doesn't please my wallet).
