My name is Jordon. I'm a 20 year old girl from Calgary, Canada. Currently, I'm a student going to DeVry University in hopes to get my degree in CIS (Computer Information Systems). My true goal in gaining my degree is to move to Japan. I am certified to teach English overseas, but I lack the degree to make it possible.
I've been to Japan twice, and am currently planning another trip in January 2011. The first time I went I stayed in KYOTO / UJI for a month on Exchange. The second time I stayed in TOKYO for about a week so I could go to a DIR EN GREY concert.
I'm a HUGE DIR EN GREY fan. Calculating costs, including Merch, plane tickets and concert tickets ... I've spend about $ 7500 on them, and counting. lol. I've seen them live 6 times ...

In Seattle I had VIP. Even though I only got to meet them for not even 5 minues I was happy regardless of the dissapointment ... during that concert, for the first time I cried. Through THE FINAL, REIKETSU NARISEBA, RASETSUKOKU, and KODOU. When KYO came back to preform with APACOPLYPTICA ... I started crying all over again. For me, this was a very memorable experience.
Right now I have two tattoos. One is on my right wrist and is "DEG Forever" - DIR EN GREY Forever. The second is the kanji "此処が真実だ" on the back of my neck. I have planned for a while to get another on my back, a pair of wings breaking away like glass ... inspired by DIR EN GREY's GLASS SKIN. Because they are larger, and will cost more, I already know it will be a while before I get them since I am always broke (-""-;)
