Konnichiwa.

My pen name is Johana and I'm 21 years old. I'm a 4th year university student studying in Ontario, Canada and am currently in a long-term long-distance relationship with the sweetest guy in the world. He's half-Japanese, thus explains why there is some Japanese in my poetry because most (if not all) are dedicated to him. We have been together since November 28, 2005.

We will be together soon. When I am finished my university studies in December 2008, a joyous reunion will take place. We will still be on opposite ends of the earth come our 3 year anniversary, but we can handle it.

Poetry cannot adequately describe our love for each other.

I will be doing volunteer work for 3 months this summer at an "orphanage" for disabled girls in Ternopil, Ukraine.

"Are all people sad?
They are forgetful creatures.

For that which you should love,
For that which gives love:
Give it your all"
~'Dearest' by Ayumi Hamasaki
