Greetings. First post!
Name: Undisclosed Sex: M Blood Type: I think AB. Universal recipient power! Location: SoCal REPRESENT Marital Status: Single...hopefully forever Age: 24 Ethnicity: Korean Religion: Christian -- Oh, and just because I'm religious doesn't mean I'm conservative, closed minded, vehement, or whatever nerds seem to like generalizing Christians as. Pets: None. Pets are way too high maintenance Drink/Smoke: Never smoke. But I love to drink with friends. I don't drink beer very much but I love me some Rum. I challenge the Kraken but lose miserably every time. Likes: Nerdy stuff...computer games, movies, anime, D&D (tabletop need lovin)... and flirty girls 
Dislikes: lolis (children are okay as long as they're not sexualized. ) Favorite anime (no order): 12 Kingdoms, Hikaru no Go, Mushishi, Kenshin Trust and Betrayal (I actually don't care for the show or manga), 5 Centimeters Per Second, and Legend of Galactic Heroes Favorite Manga: I don't read manga anymore, but I did read Berserk, Hikaru no Go, and Yakitate Japan which I liked. Favorite Books: Haven't been reading much, but I do like the Song of Ice and Fire books. Favorite game: ...eh picking one is really hard. In terms of time I've played more Day of Defeat Source than many put into MMOs. Right now, I'm having a lot of fun with the Anno 1404/ 2070 games. I've actually given up hope on Japanese games and refuse to play them anymore. Haha I know this is an anime forum, don't burn me at the stake. Favorite TV shows/Movies: soo...non anime? Some movie picks: Saving Private Ryan, Patton, Gladiator, Jurassic Park, Lion King. TV shows: Definitely Stargate SG1. Some stuff I liked recently include Dexter, Spartacus, and the Game of Thrones TV adaptation. Favorite Drink: Kraken/Sailor Jerry, Martini & Rossi's Asti Spumante, Moscato wines, Mike's hard lemonade, Gin and Tonic Non-Alcoholic Drink: Water... seriously...nothing is as refreshing. Favorite Foods: Pizza (deep dish esp), Korean BBQ, Pad Thai, Baguettes, Gouda cheese, Katsu Favorite Sites: Google, Wikipedia, Neogaf Favorite Sport: Don't really care Favorite Music: Don't really care unless they're supplementing visuals. Yeah...seriously... I never listen to music just for the sake of listening to music. Those that are more musically inclined may think I'm missing out on a huge part of the human experience, but I just don't get it. Job: I work in the automotive industry. Hobbies: Gaming, hanging out, finding new restaurants. If I had more time, I'd love to do more camping. Fun facts: My first "anime" was the original 1995 Ghost in the Shell Movie. I rented it from the public library! I loved it and it was what got me hooked. Favorite Quote: - "Variety is the spice of life" Funny, I don't care for Bebop, but that quote is awesome... Dang..that format is long... Anyways, I'm usually more of a reader than a poster when it comes to forums. But here I go! |

I've posted a couple times, but I mostly just lurk. Figured it might be a good idea to introduce myself!
Name: rheiders Sex: Female Ethnicity: Mostly German, with trace amounts of pretty much every other European country. Blood Type: No idea. Location: Colorful Colorado Marital Status: Single (see Age  )
Age: 16 (I'm a young'n--heading off to college this fall!) Religion: Roman Catholic Pets: My little demon, a miniature dachshund named Eddie, and his desired prey (not that I'll let that happen!), a guinea pig named Twix. Drink/Smoke: Nope. Likes: Japanese language (well, foreign languages in general) & culture (well, cultures in general), anime, manga, art, animation, books, science, learning new things, cute animals, etc. Favorite anime: Baccano!, Mushishi, Princess Tutu, Wolf's Rain, and Trigun Favorite Manga: I read more manga than watch anime since that's how I got into the fandom originally, but that's been changing slowly since I started getting more into animation and started following the preview guide. Anyway, top 5: Fruits Basket, FMA, High School Debut, Nana, Hunter x Hunter (Seems like everyone has that one long-running shounen that they just can't get enough of . I've been faithfully following the anime remake, too.)
Favorite Book: Hmm...That's tough...Probably either The Great Gatsby or The Catcher in the Rye. (I've read a lot of books, but it's the classics that really seem to stick with me )
Favorite Movie: I don't watch a ton of movies, so...Probably something Disney or Ghibli. Cliche? Yes. But the animation is so beautiful! Favorite Foods: Chocolate 
Favorite Music: I'll listen to anything if it's good, but I tend to stay away from rap and hip-hop. Fun Facts: -I'm a military brat, so I've lived pretty much everywhere. -However, Colorado's my home and always will be. I love it here, far more than anywhere else (keeping in mind that I spent three years in Hawaii. )
-Starting in the fall, I'll be attending CSU as an art major with a minor in biomedical sciences, with the eventual goal of becoming a medical illustrator. -I'm a total grammar nazi, so beware. -I'm a horrible introvert, so don't be surprised if I don't end up posting much.

Sounds like a description of myself, it made it pretty tough to change schools while everyone else took friends they knew from a young age for granted. Would probably say that parts in anime around transfer students have had a resonation with me. |

Please be aware that if you try to correct someone's grammar around here, then the best that you can hope for is some groaning! (yes, I realize that proper spelling and grammar are a part of "Teh Rules", but someone -- Blood- -- complained about Surrender Artist using the proper term of "forum" this past Friday) |

Oh, I know. It's something I'll be obnoxious about with people I know, but not so much with people I don't know IRL, since I know how annoying a habit it is.
