Name: Malinda or Petro. ;3
Location: On a mountain. ;D w00tw00t
Why do you love Japan: Dunno. It's kewl? I've always been interested in Asian cultures. And Japan did bring us pokemon... I mean, what's not to like? xD <3333 Kidding, sort of. LOL. -- Did I mention that I'm sick today and kinda strung up on a lot of DRUGS. <333
Ever been to Japan, if so where: Nuep.
Interests: I like to play viola, cut up dead people, mess around with explosive chemicals, and talk about the nitrogen cycle. :3 -Geek.- I also play WoW. Totally into zombies and yummy, smelling soaps and candles.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: Zhe Married Guild. -Points to siggie.- I got married on August 10th. :3 <3 It's been great.
Other Online Hang Outs: Does WoW count? xD Anyone else play World of Warcraft? Say with Horde around level 18 near Belf Lands? I have a party of two priest, lock, and mage. Would love either a lock, rogue, warrior, or pally.
Personality: Um, as I mentioned earlier, I'm fairly sick today, and on a lot of drugs. I'm not usually this bouncy, but I imagine I'm about to fall asleep also. But, I would describe myself as: air-headed, clumsy, unorganized, unmercifully sarcastic, and fluffy. :3 I'm also attracted to all things cute, fuzzy, or sparkly. I'm 19, shockingly enough. I'm also a CNA. I'm terribly responsible, can handle high-stress situations, and know all the correct numbers to dial if you were dead--which is not 911. o.o; They can't do anything for you.
Ooo. And I'm very, very realistic, but I also believe in gnomes. ^_^ <3
Any other Additional Info: I love chocolate. ^0^ チョコレトがだいすきです！

Why do you love Japan:
Like so many other people, my first brush with Japan was through anime. I was introduced to Record of Lodoss Wars by my cousin years ago, and am now an accomplished fangirl myself. sweatdrop I love anime and manga, but I think the main draw for me is the art. Although most people relate Japan and their art to anime and manga, they also have a very strong design and illustration scene. Japanese design is internationally renowned! But to cut a long story short: I love Japanesque art. All sorts. domokun
Ever been to Japan, if so where:
Yes, three or four times. Twice with my family, and twice for various exchange programmes. I consider myself very lucky whee I've been to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hokkaido.

....uh, and gaming, and reading, and eating, too. XD
Other Gaian Hang Outs:
Usually I lurk around... the exchange and the R&C.
Other Online Hang Outs:
Forums, mostly. I NO TELL YOUUU.
Personality:
I'm not so good at talking about myself. You can be the judge of this >_>; But mainly I consider myself friendly, and really rather absent-minded.
Any other Additional Info:
Nou...? xd
Yoroshiku na~

I'm pretty sure this is my first time posting in this thread. I don't remember answering these questions, but maybe I did a long time ago. Sorry if I did (though somehow I doubt someone's going to go through all the pages just to check biggrin )
Name: Sarah
Location: Pennsylvania
Why do you love Japan: I love the language, the art, the places, onsen and the food. I also had a really good time when I was studying abroad there, so now there's definitely a sentimental attachment smile
Ever been to Japan, if so where: I studied in Kobe, which is right by Osaka. I've visited Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Koya-san, Shirahama (in Wakayama-ken), Hiroshima, Miyajima, Matsuyama, Awaji Island, Sapporo, and a few other small places.
Interests: Food, Photoshop, Japanese (obviously), Travel, Well-written sitcoms
Other Gaian Hang Outs: The ~Let's Speak Japanese~ guild, and sometimes Lifestyle Discussions
Other Online Hang Outs: Facebook, Livejournal, The-op.com (Arrested Development site), Thinkpotter.tk (Harry Potter site)
Personality: I come off as a bit reserved, but I really like funny things and joking with my friends. I can be very sarcastic (but not to be mean).
Any other Additional Info
I just graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's degree in Japanese, but I'm definitely not anywhere near fluent. I do highly recommend Pitt's program though; it's great for grammar and speaking/listening. I'm currently applying for the JET program. I find out at the end of this month if I'll be having an interview.
よろしくお願いします！ smile

こんばんわ皆さん！
[Konbanwa minna-san!] ^^
<...It's approx. 7:00 Pacific time...>
Name?
Lady Ayre as a Gaian, and Torey otherwise. ^^ And yes, I'm aware my name pronounced in Japanese literally translates to "bird".
([romaji] : Tori = [katakana] : トリ = [kanji] : 鳥 ).
This fact can sometimes prove both humorous and problematic when introducing myself in Japanese.
... sweatdrop ...
<-< *siiigh* >->
*aherm*...Anyways:
どうぞ夜しく。
[Douzo yorushiku.]
Location?
A borderline Pacific state, US of A =]
Why do you love Japan?
Japanese history, oriental art and architecture have always interested me in one way or another for years. Their unique culture fascinates me, and I want to continue to learn and experience more of it. -^^-
Ever been to Japan, if so where?
Yes, I participated in my town's Sister Cities Exchange last summer, and hope to qualify this year as well. ^^ We traveled to Miyoshi, located in the Tokushima prefecture on the lower island of Shikoku. (100% humidity, anyone? X.x") Very lovely, though. wink I also really liked visiting Kobe, located near the sometimes very overwhelming Osaka. ^^"
Interests?
Literature; traveling; writing/reading; discussion; manga/anime; Japanese art, music, and culture; martial arts (Taekwon-do, actually. ninja ); history, gaming, & plushies. heart ~
Other Gaian Hang Outs?
My miscellaneous guilds, the Writer's Forum, the GD, and wherever else my be-pixelled soles decide to take me.
Other Online Hang Outs?
MySpace (And yes, I know I'm a loser because I don't yet have a Facebook whee ), YouTube (the true embodiment of awesomeness), Blogger, and Fanfiction.net. -^.^-
Personality?
Creative; quirky, and opinionated (though I do have a tendency towards shyness at times). I'm usually a pretty polite person, but I can be sarcastic and/or blunt if the occasion calls for it.
Any other Additional Info?
I'm a junior in high school, and I'm currently studying Japanese at the local college-- having resigned myself to being buried in Kanji homework for the next year or so. sweatdrop As I said, I've applied again to the Sister Cities Association, and hope to be able to participate and travel to Japan again this summer. *crosses fingers*
どうもありがとうございました。
[Doumoarigatougozaimashita.]
