Name: Robertico or even ローベテーコ Location: Washington State, Evergreen power whoo hoo! スーパー あお！*laughs* Why do you love Japan?: The ancient Japanese culture is fascinating, I love the way the language is written. The temples, shinto buddhism, and gardens are so interesting! I would like to practice Buddhism, but I'm not sure which sect I'd like to be involved in... Shinto, Zen, Pure Land, Theravada, ect. Ever been to Japan, if so where?: No, I haven't been... but my boyfriend has! とととととと！！ *laughing* I would love to visit Beppuku hell, the bath houses and the town looks amazing! There's quite a number of temples I'd love to visit, particularly Saiho-ji Zen garden... It's a moss temple and it looks so beautiful! Here's a good link! Interests: I use the internet WAY too much... *is that an interest?* *laughs*... I love the cinema, I watch way too many movies... although lately I've been going through a lag... Hollyweird has been putting out too many shoddy movies... stupid remakes and sequels. I can't watch too many indie movies because I need closed captioning. I'm hard of hearing! I adore foreign films, especially Spanish ones. I'm not too keen with avante garde French films... I love unique Japanese musicians such as 元ちとせ (Hajime Chitose) (shima uta is such a beautiful way of singing!), Yuki (I JUST LOVE HER!, such a unique voice!), 鬼束ちひろ (Chihiro Onitsuka; I consider her the Japanese equivalent of Jewel *laughs*), MISIA *powerhouse voice!*, ect. (I'm still finding new Japanese artists everyday!). I also love Björk, Bob Marley and The Wailers, numerous amounts of electronica.. My musical tastes are quite varied. I like anime that makes you think... Serial Experiments: Lain, Monster, Elfen Lied, Ghost In The Shell: Stand-Alone Complex, ect. I guess I also love the quirky humorous ones too such as Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu (long title!), Excel Saga, ect. Other Gaian Hangouts: P-God (to get my gil (I know it's gold but whatev.)) and maybe lurking the extended discussion... I don't post much on Gaia, I haven't found my niche yet. Funny, I've been on here for two years so far... Other Online Hangouts: I don't really have any, I just surf and look at a lot of sites... StumbleUpon for Firefox is my internet miracle worker!!! I guess the only place I "hang out" on the net is on MSN Messenger, I'm always on it when I'm "wired". wink Personality: I'm can be shy when I first meet the person, I don't do well in groups of people more than four *since I'm hard of hearing, it can be pretty difficult to keep up with the flow of conversation with four different people, I don't have 8 eyes and can lipread everyone at once!*... After I know you... you'll find out I can have a quite a weird and vulgar sense of humor, some enjoy it, some don't... I'm very loyal to the people that treat me with kindness and love ^_^b!!! Any other additional info: I've taken four years of Spanish, but sadly I haven't spoke, written, or read it on a daily basis for a long time... but I'm sure once I have another friend who speaks Spanish, I'll have lots of fun using it all over again! I also took 2 years of ASL, I don't particularly enjoy American Sign Language... it's useful at times, but I mostly lipread since I'm only partially deaf. I would love some friends to talk in Japanese or Spanish with, so if you know Japanese or Spanish fairly well, don't hestitate to pm me RIGHT NOW!
I hope that I will 愛 you all and post in this guild on a daily basis!
さようなら、友達よ！

Name: Rose (Artemis Wolfe)
Location: Maryland
Why do you love Japan: ...Pokemon... redface and all my friends are obsessed about it. I'm not so obsessive... but I've liked pretty much everything I've heard about it.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: --
Interests:
Pokemon...again
Art - Animation (not necessarily Anime, because I actually prefer 3D animated films.)
Other Gaian Hang Outs: The Official Pokemon Guild (<--*is guildmaster*)
Other Online Hang Outs: Um...google talk?
Personality: I'm a pretty quiet person. I like to keep to myself alot, but I enjoy the company of my friends.
Any other Additional Info:
I joined this guild because I'm taking a Japanese class at the community college in my area. I'm horrible at it. I'm the only non-fan girl/boy in the class without a hugely important reason for learning it. I'm also the only one in the whole class who didn't try to teach themselves japanese already. x_x Everyone pronounces things better than me!
I'm also Korean. >_>;; I never knew my real mom, and grew up without any idea that i was even asian (<--sucks to live in an all white community, and a dad that doesn't want you to know about your real mom, so he tells you you're white...).
I'm actually taking Japanese because Korean isn't offered at the college. Of course, I still like Japanese.. I could play Pokemon a year earlier if i knew how to speak it. sweatdrop

Name: You Can Call me Rick, or ﾘｯｸ works too x]
Location: I live in a small Town outside of Chicago, Called Forest Park. It's a small town, as I said Filled with Bars, Idiots & Cemetaries ( We Have More Dead than alive here ) One Good Thing is that we have a sushi bar/Japanese Restaurant that barely anyone knows of, and has great food.
Why do you love Japan: Well, what sparked my interest in Japan was the History, then it moved onto religion, & eventually everything about it, Food, People, Culture, Music etc.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: I am going this Summer, School thing. x] Yay Me, I believe I will be somewhere in Kyoto.
Interests: My interests include, besides Japan of course. Religion, Science, Music, Reading & Food. I love to cook.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: Hm, Well. Besides always being in towns... I hang around in the "Why Not" Guild, because plain & simple, I am a Poll whore.
Other Online Hang Outs:Myspace, Random Chats in which friends & I frequent. Msn, I am always On msn if I am on the computer.
Personality: Well, I am very different to different people, but in the end I am caring for you & if I do not like you I will let you know. I can be slightly...bubbly at times & yet be calm & contemplative at others. I tend to be very empathic to people & sympathize, Must be the Libra in me.
I enjoy helping people with problems but hate when it is abused.
Any other Additional Info--
Hm, Well I am Gay. Not religious in anything. I enjoy a debate on religion however. So much so that I invite the Jehovah witnesses into my house & talk. I take Japanese Classes ( Hence why I am going over The Summer )
I love the sound of Violins, My music tastes branch from All sorts of Rock, including Japanese to pop & Classical. I cannot stand Rap, Hip-hop & the such, but I like Motown. What I listen to depends on the type of day. Right now, I am listening to Gackt, Next Probably something like Percy Faith.
Well, That is all x] Hope you had fun with my large block of text, assuming you read it.
--ﾘｯｸ/Rick

Name: Renee, Quan. Either one.
Location: Las Vegas, NV.
Why do you love Japan: I don't know, something about the culture is somehow infectious! Admittedly, I originally got caught up in the "anime craze", but I started listening to music, looking up the culture, teaching myself kana, and eventually became a magnet school student majoring in Japanese. I really do love learning the language and the culture. @_@;
Ever been to Japan, if so where: No, I wasn't able to go along with the trip to Japan program my school was using last year. Summer of next year, though, I am already planning on going, so!
Interests: Still anime and manga (@_@;; ), video games, music (not just Japanese!), um, I think video games bears mentioning again... and translating things is just oddly fun for me. o_o
Other Gaian Hang Outs: Friends' quest pages (I don't go on Gaia that much, actually), and a friend's page in the Chatterbox.
Other Online Hang Outs: LiveJournal, first and foremost! I RP waaay too much for my own good... DevArt, also, but I'm much too lazy to ever post anything. I go on 4chan sometimes, too.
Personality: Er, I'm kind of a... major goof. @_@; I make fun of anything and everything, so before I offend anyone... D: I am really nice, though, I promise. ~_~; I'm also kind of a ditz--gullible and sometimes easily confused.
Any other Additional Info: Um, nothing really, besides the fact that, like mentioned above, aren't on exactly frequently, so if I seem to be ignoring someone/dead, that's... not true! D:
