She's Chinese, but she loves Japanese, too. Her art shop thread used to be titled all in Japanese.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Ah, thats ok. My old school used to be populated with girls who only knew the word "chan" and used to shout it in the halls - 'cause they were so Japanese, dontcha know. It was the most annoying word in the Universe for a while there.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

Good gracious. I can see why.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Oh yeah. It was impossible to move in those days without someone yelling "....-chan!" at you.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

I hate nicknames that I didn't create myself or don't introduce myself as. My parents technically created the nickname I use in public.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

"Kittyfox"?  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

No, I mean in real-life public.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Ah. My parents never gave me any kind of nickname. Well, none that my friends would use - "Penguin" is the only one my friends use. Or the one they use most often.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

My real nickname is based on my real first name.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Makes sense. I have no idea where 'Penguin' came from.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

Someone tried to call me "soybean" once. That died fast.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

"Soybean"? That beats Penguin on the strangeness scale.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

It was making a jab at my last name, which is why I hated it.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Oh, yeah. Thats kinda nasty.  

[Kaiser_MageMule]
