bailey, everywhere
I'm Bailey, a small girl from a small town. I lived a year in Kyoto and I graduated from college in Chicago in June 2010. I lived in Boston for two years but it was a wash. I'm rebuilding from the ground up. I am intent on adventures. I like beautiful things, funny things, photography, Japan, and emoticaps. (I am a vegan in progress and sometimes it happens in public. I yell most frequently about religion, racism, "women's issues," feelings, and dresses.) My friends call me Etsuko. You write it like 悦子 and it is a very good name.
小さな町からの小さな女子ベイリー(悦子とも呼ばれてます、よく合った名前っす)です。一年間京都に住み、２０１０年６月にシカゴ大学から卒業しました。二年弱ボストンに住みましたが結局無駄でしたのでこれから完全なやり直し中。日常生活にも小さい冒険があると信じて過ごしています。趣味は美しいもの、おかしいもの、撮影、日本、とemoticaps。（只今ビーガン工事中でたまにその進歩も公にされます。頻繁に出て来る課題：宗教、人種主義、「女性問題」、感情、ワンピース。）どうぞ宜しくお願い致します♪
Why I will never stop loving to read Japanese written by people who once wore kimono as daily attire:
You can also order something with 註文 and get a shock with 吃驚する.
Also this author’s name is Ehara Yukiko and her given name is written 通子, how baller is that #going places
ETA: the title is a comment about time period, not about anything ~*exotic*~. Kanji usage has dropped precipitously since the second world war, so the earlier in the twentieth century an author learned to read and write, the more kanji they use in their writing (you know, generally), and I love learning to recognize kanji that are no longer commonly used. That’s all.
