About

A 39 year-old Chinese American college graduate from the University of California, Irvine. I majored in Japanese Language & Literature and currently live and work in Japan. I love video games, Japanese music, Japanese dramas, tokusatsu, Asian literature, studying Asian cultures, making web pages, graphic design, MMORPGs, and at one point did like anime. I'm also always up for some good discussion/conversation and am involved in Asian American issues.

Besides my degree in Japanese, my other credentials include a Certificate of Ethnomusicology from the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Irvine and minors in Digital Arts and Information and Computer Science.

FYI: I don't add people to my friends list that I don't know/haven't talked to and gotten along with in forums. Seriously, I've had to have met you in one of the places I frequent and had some kind of a profound conversation with you or I know you IRL.

Note: My Interests thing is missing three artists from the music section because it doesn't take band names that are less than 3 characters. BOO. So tag on there: YUI, B'z, bis, AAA, and Kra. Also since the interests tag seem to have some kind of hatred toward an all digits tag, I had to write 12012 in romaji.

No worries about it at all. smile Your goal sounds like it would really help the celebrities as well as the fanbases; don't let some bitches get you down. With practice, you'll be right back into the game. wink


I'm making a personal hideout in Gaia international for me to be a snooty b***h in Japanese. Wanna join? razz I'm pretty much doing it to get gold.

Fans in general are ridiculous to deal with, I will wholeheartedly agree with you. It also sounds like you're dealing with a real b***h of a translator, and that has to suck. Graciousness combined with a true sense of responsibility is a hard thing to come by, for sure.

Anime fans and band fans are the same type of monster. neutral You have my deepest condolences for having to work with them. I have neither the patience nor the desire to cooperate with them, so for that I respect what you are doing.

No worries about the ranting. Like I said, it helps to get it off your chest sometimes to free up your mind.

If you don't let it out of your system, it'll just keep clouding up your mind with negative energy. razz You have to let of steam in order to get ahead, y'know? wink I really hope that everything will come back to you with more practice, and that's the best advice that I can give. More translation work will help you make cleaner, nicer translations, though having the time to do them between work and life can be daunting.

I don't explain to everyone, just the people who look like their actually trying their best. XD

But if you have enough stress with work, maybe it's not such a great idea.
