I got tagged! But don't worry, I won't pass it on.

• I am bookish, weak, and contemptibly bad at all sports, but I can walk more or less indefinitely. And I can read while I do it. Rocky field, moving walkway, Shibuyaic throng, rickety staircase: it doesn't matter, I don't ever have to look up. (Feel free to gaze sadly at me with Little Princian bafflement at my priorities here. I have no counterargument.)
• I had never been to an onsen, or any other kind of public bath, until earlier this month.
• I was terrible with languages until well into my university career. My early experiences with foreign language education (Italian) were all of the "learn to say hello, learn to ask for a red shirt" variety, but then I transferred schools and landed in the middle of a four-year German course that was much more hardcore (they also taught Latin at that school, if that helps set the scene). You can fudge a lot of stuff in Italian, but if you don't know your cases in German, you can't even say "the". (Postscript: This experience warped me so thoroughly that the next language I studied, years later, was Klingon.)
• Borrowing this one from Clunis: I think that Akikonomu is an awesome name for a girl. And, given that in Japan it is quite common for fathers to get the final say on their kids' names, if labor weakens my hypothetical future wife to the extent that she can't physically stop me from writing it on the form...
• I was vegan for a couple of years, and married for roughly the same couple of years.
