But anywayz, I figured I have tons to say about my love for anime and manga and video games! For those of you who don't know, like my grandmother who will probably get linked to this blog anyway (SHOUTOUT--Hi, Mom Mom!!!!!!!! (^__^) ), anime is the japanese term for cartoon. But it's not just any kind of cartoon. It's the cartoons straight from Japan like Inu Yasha or Yu Yu Hakusho. More commonly known "anime" are Pokemon, Sailor Moon, or Naruto (BOO! Sorry Naruto-nerds, I just don't like Naruto!). Manga is the japanese term for comic books in Japan. I don't read manga too much. The only manga I've read are One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, GTO The Early Years, Inu Yasha, and Romeo x Juliet. Video games are pretty self explanatory. I have always loved those, ever since I was about 4 or 5 years old and I was a chiisai girl and I would play Mario on the Super NES. To this day, I'm still a Mario fan!
So, to tell a bit about myself, I guess I shall start with an introduction?? Mini-bio activation!!

Stupid Otaku Questions (stole these from yahoo)
1. When did you first discover anime/manga/etc.?
Indirectly, when I was about 6 or 7, can't remember but it was around that time. I was a Sailor Moon and Dragonball freak. Later I was addicted to Pokemon, before it became dumb. It wasn't until I was about 13 when I realized it was called anime because a friend of mine showed me Inu Yasha. I loved it and soon got into an entire array of different anime.
2. How were you before anime/manga versus after?
Well, throughout my teenaged years I couldn't watch much anime. I only watched what could be shown on Adult Swim and Comcast OnDemand. But once I started living on my own, I was able to begin watching anime on a computer, so I got into a lot more genre than before (even the distasteful ones).
3. Have you increased in confidence or ability in anything?
Not nessacarily but I can finally say I found something I like...in confidence.
4. Has it sparked a (healthy) hobby?
I guess it depends on how you define "healthy". If spending nearly 100 dollars a month on anime-related items is unhealthy than yeah, I would say it's an unhealthy hobby I'm involved in.
5. Friends you've made/met through anime/manga (or bf/gf/spouse)?
Almost all of my friends are into anime. My current BF is into it, though not as much as I'm into. My friend Kristin is also into it and so is my friend Mandy but my ultimate best anime-loving friend is my friend Natahlin!!! She loves anime just as much as I do and we can sit in a diner for hours talking about it and still have more to talk about! I'm so happy I found someone like her to share my otaku-ness with!!
6. Learn any 'life lessons' or...morals, or...good stuff from anime/manga, or even fellow otaku?
Not really. Just to keep your mind open and creative though no anime nor otaku taught me that directly.
7. Has anime inspired something, like an interest in art, or cosplay, or designing?
It definitely peaked my interest in writing! So many anime have given me the inspiration for a lot of my stories!
8. Have you learned things about yourself or others from anime/manga (saw warning signs, or realized that they weren't really your friends; figured out that you liked something, got you to try something you would have never thought to try, etc)?
Nah, anime is too unrealistic to teach me that.
All The Rest
I hope I can actually keep this blog up. Ugh. Ja mata!!!!!
