Name: Periwig or Foof. X3
Location: Near London, England.
Why do you love Japan: I've always loved the language, since it's quick-moving, with sharp flicks of the tongue. It's fun to talk and listen to. I'm a complete Kanji geek, as well, so I tend to spend about 30-50 minutes a day looking up irrelevent kanji and then forgetting it. I like Japan because it's a place with alot more freedom in some ways, and the culture is so completely different that I want to be able to immerse myself in it at some point, and to do that I need to learn the language. ^^;
Ever been to Japan, if so where: The closest I've ever been is Beijing, but I might go to Tokyo this summer.
Interests: JRock, Languages (German, Russian, Japanese, Arabic), Doctor Who, Philosophy.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: I'm ususally in the GD, but also Whoasnapples, The Fusha Guild, and I occasionally poke my head into the LSG and the Writers' Forum.
Other Online Hang Outs: LiveJournal, Skype, MSN. <3
Personality: I'm really bad at meeting new people. I'm shy until you get to know me, and I'm crap at starting conversations. I'm also pretty sarcastic, and I swear too much IRL, but keep it controlled online.
Any other Additional Info: Ich spreche auch Deutsch, aber bin nicht sehr selbstsicher wenn ich rede. Yes, I have a British accent. No, I don't like cups of tea or cricket. - -;;;

名前 Name: refuse to disclose
別名 Pseudonyms: Dohmah, Daza-mon, ダベち～ (Dabechi`), ダザくん (Daza-kun), ダザやん (Daza-yan)
なんで日本の好みや？ Why do you love Japan: I'm very into Japan culturally, historically, linguistically, urbanly, and socially. Why I persist in learning about Japan I really don't know, but it's something that's been with me ever since I was 12 years old.
日本にいたことがあらヘン？ Ever been to Japan, if so where?: Unfortunately I have yet achieved the oppurtunity to do so.
興味 Interests: Aikido, Metaphisics, Kendo, RP'ing, Astrology, and maybe Philosophy
他のガイアの好きなゲットアウェイ Other Gaian Hangouts: My RP thread, Dekitate Koukou High School Thread (get to it via the pic in my sig)
他のオンラインのゲットアウェイ Other Online Hangouts: www.hangame.com (great online multiplayer Japanese gaming site cool )
個性 Personality: I'm pretty outgoing, friendly, down-to-earth, and easy-going to people I consider friends, but to people that have yet to become acquainted with me I'm distant, quiet, detached, and aloof. I'm slightly just a tad bit cynical and not so trusting of people I do know as well as those I don't (and for my own good reasons). I hate having to rely on other people to get what I want and I'm extremely self-reliant. I also hate being obligated or in debt to others.
In conflict, I'm not really one to make a big, dramatic scene or spectacle and I'd rather let my silence do the talking. My motto: I may speak softly, but I carry a big stick!
