About this Blog

When I was younger, my brother for some reason found my rantings amusing enough to think I should have my own website. I no longer run that site because I forgot the password. Long story; it’s not simple. So when a friend suggested I start a blog, I thought, okay, it’s like a continuation, right?

In this blog, Scales of Libra, I will write about both serious issues (categorized as Serious Side) and less serious things (categorized as Light-Hearted side). So, it will run the gamut from politics to cats, science to entertainment, all unified by my voice and outlook. At least, that’s what I figured initially. As I move forward with it, I feel the need to narrow my focus, which was happening anyway. So, you can expect the Serious Side posts to be largely centered on politics, and the Light-Hearted Side posts to be focused on my favorite forms of entertainment: music, manga, video games, and books.

I’m always curious about the people whose words I read on the largely anonymous internet, so I’ll tell you a bit about myself. I’m a 20-something, female, carbon-based life form, born under the sign of Libra (explains a lot), and am currently working in Japan as an Assistant Language Teacher on the JET Program. So, Konnichiwa.  I enjoy drawing, manga, Macs, and making bad jokes, to say but a few things. Oh, and mayoral scandals notwithstanding, I love Detroit!!

I have made a separate blog for my JET experience: Lucky Hill.  Which is why I don’t talk about my job too much on here.
