This I got as a graduation present from my uncle (you can guess that my mom wasn't too thrilled). Anyhoo, I drew it myself, so I'm kind of proud of it. Next I either want a Darwin fish (me and my cousin are going to take it together as a symbol for our love of biology and evolution and our friendship) or then a strand of DNA that goes around my left arm, right under the elbow.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
