Name: Aislinn-Gale
Location: Lone Star State
Why do you love Japan: Read Shogun by James Clavell in seventh grade and fell in love with the history, then manga introduced me to the awesome mythology. I'm big on history/mythology. After that, the whole culture appealed to me.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: Lived in Tokyo for six weeks as an exchange student... more specifically Tama-shi, if anyone knows it. I attended a summer language school in Hachiouji. I'm definately going back in college.
Interests: History, mythology, books (mostly fantasy), martial arts and animals.
Other Gaian Hangouts: Foreign Language Guild
Other Online Hangouts: Wikipedia, Google, and FictionPress.com
Personality: Eh... laid back. I thought I was quiet/reserved, but it turns out when I need to (like at my job) I can be pretty friendly. Let's just say when my family learned I was hired for my obvious extrovert personality, they all (and I mean grandparents, cousins, and great-aunts) burst out laughing.
Any other Additional Info: I tend to have a short attention span online. I probably have six or seven different windows up as you're reading this.

Name:
don't feel like saying ninja
Location:
NYC of the USA
Why do you love Japan:
Anime was the first thing that got me interested, but as i started watching less anime and diving deeper into the culture. it definitely caught my attention. Now im primarily interested in Japanese and Korean culture (cause im korean ^^; )

closest I've been was maybe a few hundred miles from Japan's shore (was in korea). Im definitely going there with a few friends in college.

Other Gaian Hang Outs: video game, general, anime, and extended discussions (haven't been active recently though)
Other Online Hang Outs: none really
Personality: people call me a really smart guy in my school cause i have a GPA close to 4.0 without ever studying, but i just think school is just too easy >.>. i'm a serious guy (my brother says i don't have much common sense although my grades are almost perfect). i can be shy and quiet at first, and I'm definitely the kinda person who doesn't like breaking rules. I often try to help and be kind to people as much as i can (my brother also calls me naive).
Any other Additional Info:
As you should already know if you read my post, I'm korean. partially fluent at the moment in Japanese and Korean. Currently I'm studying japanese, korean, and maybe chinese. Maybe if i become fluent enough, I'll apply for college in Japan biggrin
さようなら

Janay/Junarai/Jun
Georgia, United States
The culture is interesting, as are the people. The language is a challenge which I enjoy and my love for Japan is ineffable.
No, but I wish to go.
Drawing, RP, anime, manga, studying, singing and all that Jazz.
I'm 3 other guilds aside from this. School of Dedicated Role-Players, Yuki's Multisexual Hangout, and Yaoi Guild
Deviant Art, my RP forum, YouTube, and such places
Uh, I guess I can say that I'm funny and sarcastic. I'm a logical pessimistic that leaves things pretty much to the possible, but I'm a loyal friend. That much is true.
I speak retro [ like "I can dig that", or "Cool cats jive hard" ]. I love Big Band and Swing, video games and computers. I'm in a band that, maybe, one day will become Visual Kei.

Name: Leia (藤原 is my Japanese name.)
Location: Chicago
Why do you love Japan: My family has introduced me to the cultures of my ancestors, who came from Sweden and The Czech Republic. So much of my life has revolved around Europe that I decided to look beyond that continent into Asia. The culture is amazing, I just love all of it because it's not European, heh. My little cousin introduced me to Sailor Moon manga a few years after she had been adopted... she has a great interest in Japanese stuff even though she's from China. I like watching anime programs like 'School Rumble' in Japanese, but with English subs, or else I would never be able to understand them! I am hoping to study and study and study Japanese until I can speak it fluently, no matter how long it takes!
Ever been to Japan, if so, where?: I am planning to visit Japan during the summer... but that will probably be a year or two from now, if at all. sweatdrop
Interests: Reading, hanging with friends, going places, etc.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: Port of Gambino.
Other Online Hang Outs: None really. wahmbulance
Personality: I am really sarcastic but I know when I should keep it to the minimum. I can be an ultimitely polite person but my friends think it's extremely stupid to be polite so I act like a total moron around them... stare ...and sometimes if I'm not careful, I'll be a moron 24/7. If I'm being a pain in the a**, please let me know.

Name: Kelsey
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Why do you love Japan: Uhh... I actually don't know why. I can honestly say Japanese was not my first choice for my major, it turned out to be my backup plan. But I do love it. I love how they handle situations like kidnapping, hijacking, etc--they blow the bad guy's head off. XD
Ever been to Japan, if so where?: Nope.
Interests: Music, art, and fiction-writing/reading.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: I don't really hang out here. Too much school.
Other Online Hang Outs: Uhh... MySpace, sortakinda not really.
Personality: Everything depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, a really, really, really good mood, then I'm outgoing and friendly, I smile and talk a lot. If I'm just content, I'm shy, quiet, still smiling, but a little submissive. If I'm in a bad mood, well... I'm not so much shy as trying my hardest to avoid human contact, I'm sarcastic, no smiles, and I hardly ever talk. Usually I do better in school when I'm in a bad mood, strangely enough. sweatdrop But I am polite, no matter what mood I'm in. Oh yeah, and I'm a huge procrastinator.
Any other Additional Info: Uhh.... I love to paint, write stories, listen to music, write Kanji... Within the last year, I've started to enjoy reading, especially the "Twilight" series.
