Hello!! My name is Kiana!! I am an 18 year old African American female.
You can call me Kiana or by my nicknames, Nani-chan and Mokia. ^_^
I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For those of you who don't know, Milwaukee is a small city....and really boring. hehe =p

I guess I'm not your average teenager, but sometimes I can be.
I'm REALLY shy. Sometimes I have no idea what to say to people, and I feel as if I am bothering them. =[
A lot of people have said that they find me boring, but usually I find them to be boring as well, lol. =p

Er...I guess this may already be a bit obvious, but....I LOVE Japan. I really do, just about every single thing about Japanese culture I admire. I admire other Asian cultures too, but Japan has always been interesting to me. =]

Right now I'm in the process of going to cosmetology school. Cosmetology is the study of hair, nails and make-up!!
After that, I want to get a degree in English/Crea​tive writing, and begin writing novels for young adults and possibly maybe movie scripts and lyrics for famous entertainers​! XD

I have a LOT of different interests. Once you talk to me for a while, you'll see what I mean. -__-
Overall, I'm a nice gal, I guess. ^_^

Please don't hesitate to send me a message or anything!! I want to talk to everyone from all places of the world (especially Asia!!) =]

**I prefer only Asians between the ages of 18-24 contact me, but other races will definately not be turned away because I am not a racist person. ^_^

**NO MALES OVER THE AGE OF 24 OR UNDER THE AGE OF 18! If you send me anything and your profile says that you're over or under those ages, I will ignore it.

**If you message me without reading my entire profile, that will irritate me and I'll probably ignore you. I know it's a lot to read, but I'm not typing all of this for no reason!

**I don't like when I message/comm​ent people and they never reply back, it's somewhat irritating. I may not reply to everything right away, but I garauntee that every message or comment I get, I'll reply to. So...if you think you may be that kind of person...jus​t leave now! kthanx. =]

**I DO NOT GIVE OUT MY HOME MAILING ADDRESS. This is because I don't trust people online anymore...I'​ve heard of too many weird situations and I don't want to put myself or my family in danger. Email and instant messaging only.

**Message me here before adding me on any IM services. I'll know if you haven't!

I'd  like to speak with someone who is willing to teach me Japanese. PLEASE help teach me Japanese!! I am already good at understandin​g/speaking basic Japanese, and I can read and understand just about anything written in hiragana/kat​akana. I'm still working on Kanji, LOL...but I want to be fluent in the language!! I can also help with english, if you want. =]

If anyone here is able to translate any form of Japanese media into english and is willing to do so, PLEASE contact me!!!
