@anon: I don’t know, anon. Maybe because it’s super practical.

I mean, you try running and having adventures with your long hair flip flopping and getting in the way!  Also, short hair is much easier to animate.

@to-dream-ones-life-away: Oooh, a chance to show my inner narcissist!

1. My nickname when I was a baby was ‘Little Fatty’.
2. The Nutty Professor makes me weep. Seriously, tears just everywhere.
3. Spirited Away was the first Ghibli movie I ever saw.
4. I am 1.7 metres tall.
5. I can’t ride a bike.
6. I can’t swim.
7. I am an extraordinarily good dancer (but I think you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who will agree).
8. I was an athletics champion in primary school (a trait that clearly went away with my youth).
9. My favourite chocolate is Bueno.
10. I wish everyone a very happy New Year!
