Om mig - About Me

I am 24 years old and I live in Tokyo, Japan. As for this year I will continue my studies within japanese language to obtain the level of japanese skills requested for entering the university. My future plan is to become music therapist and keep doing my own music by the side. 

I write songs since about 10 years back. If we're going to be picky I wrote my first song when I was about 8 and if I quote it, it basically goes like "The grass is green, the sky is blue, the flowers are beautiful". Can't guarantee it right now though. I have the original paper in Sweden. Anyhow, I write songs. www.myspace.com/sofislowfox 
Enjoy. I also write poetry btw. A lot is in Swedish, but also in English and I have started to write in Japanese as well, but have not published it yet. I actually wrote poetry in French when I was about 15, however it's nowhere to be found. 

I don't drink very much, don't party very much and I am a person who is hard to get under the surface on. However in contradiction to this I also have a nice easygoing side of me, but usually only when it comes to music or if you get to know me closer for quite a while. 
I don't believe in God. Don't try to make me either. I respect if you do, but I am not interested in believing in anything but myself, 'cause I create my own life and I make my future, there's no saviour who do things for you. You have to get of your ass and actually do things to achieve anything. I don't have a religion at all. Don't care about it either. 

What I care about is humanity and I'm not taking anyone's side when it comes to this. I believe in helping other people in society and I believe in kindness. I eat meat, I eat japanese food (and I like natto), I eat swedish food and a lot of different things. Not only meatballs. I don't like going to IKEA, I don't like shopping. I like second hand shops though. I don't like guys who's trying to hook me up in the bar.

My vanity weakness in life are shoes. I like shoes...ok...I love shoes...I don't enter the stores 'cause I have to wipe of the drewl from my face when I'm looking at all fabulous shoes. And I'm a student so I don't have the money to go shopping that much and on top of that I want to enter the university here in Japan, which means. You have to save money. Right. No more shoes....now you can hear my soul dying, but it's ok I have superglue and I allready have shoes I can walk in so..no more vanity.

If I should describe myself with one song, I think the best one to describe me as a person is Oh Laura - Release Me, quoted here below. 

I am the wilderness locked in a cage
I am a growing force you kept in place
I am a tree reaching for the sun
Please don't hold me down
Please don't hold me down

I am a rolling wave without the motion
A glass of water longing for the ocean
I am an asphalt flower breaking free
But you keep stopping me
Release me, release me

I am the rain that's coming down on you
That you've shielded yourself from with a roof
I have the fire burning desperately
But you're controling me
Release me, release me

So, that's a bit about me. Why don't YOU tell me about yourself then?
