Name: well, I won't give it out freely, so I'll give you my favorite name: Ember
Location: Small Southern Mountain Town of Crazed Conservative Christians, America
Why do you love Japan: a mix of their more advanced technology, manga, and the fact everything over there is so different from here
Ever been to Japan, if so where: sadly, no. But I'd like to go there
Interests: foreign language in general, anything different, unusual, or ridiculous. Or anything that will scare a group of Southern Conservative
Christians. Video games and books, And I prefer manga to anime, and subs to dubs.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: ED, Writers' Forum
Other Online Hang Outs: Webcomic sites, scanlation sites, FF.net, and Fleeting Fancies
Personality: Outgoing, moody, random, odd, easily amused, and paranoid of many internet dangers (like giving out my name).
I'm far better at language than algebra, but better at algebra than science, even though science greatly interests me. My only real skill is memorization and imagination. I (so far) only know hiragana and a little katakana. I memorize songs in JP to aid in my learning, and have yet to take any classes on Japanese; all I know is self-taught. I'm beginning college classes next year, though I'm still only in high school.
I'd take a day of daydreaming, reading, or studying Japanese on the porch in a thunderstorm over almost any other activity.
