What is a Risuka?
"Risuka" is a handle I started to use since freshman college and has stuck with me ever since. I audited a Japanese language class and one of the first lessons was to translate our names into Roomaji. Roomaji are Japanese words in "English" characters. "Risuka" is my last name as a product of the translation. Sometimes online I substitute it when I'm not sure I want the whole world knowing a last name. :-) Simple, isn't it?Hobbies
My hobbies are wide and may change from month to month as I find new interests and leave old ones behind. The following are some that have seemed to stick with me for awhile.Drawing, painting, calligraphy, learning German, walking on my hands, building and fixing computers, driving my cars (fast), sprinting track, painting gaming figurines, working on my Ford Mustang, driving my Honda Civic, reminiscing about drives in my Camaro Z-28, Ford Thunderbird and Dodge Dart Swinger, programming, target practice, role-playing games(Dungeons & Dragons), computer games, visiting girlfriends(Only one at a time), Magic:The Gathering, playing with my nunchaku, making home videos, giving advice and troubleshooting peoples' computer and other problems, philosophizing, bike riding, skateboarding, caring, whistling, shouting "Roota Zoota" loudly, photography, people watching, dreaming.
